@siddie

thanks for the candid and detailed response bud!👍🏼

sid, i have watched LRL. i admit it was for rajeev initially but i stuck with it for it's story. priyanka was very good there definitely, but yaar you can't stick to only one character for life na. an actor should be like a chameleon. adopt karna chahiye har cheez kay saat. chalo, leaving all things aside, let me simply say that if the CVs are wrong anywhere, it's when they give comedic and everyday scenes to priyanka. she doesn't look very comfortable doing them. so maybe the CVs should stick to giving her serious and intense scenes only. but doesn't that say that priyanka is a good actor but only a good 'serious' actor.


P.S.

let's not make this post about 'for' and 'against' priyanka. that is so not the object here and i would only lead to unpleasantness. i would really appreciate it if everyone restricted their comments to the things addressed in the topic😳 rasam, alleged biasness towards shanak and things like that etc.

@pink: exactly! so,in this case, being a pb fan is the first step.. but when we talk abt rasam and the response of majority rbo fans towards them, we will need cv's to come up with some awesome scenes so that mayanka can show their versitality and potential and thus win over the fans again!Embarrassed if we have hardly any rasam scenes to WIN us over, how can we expect fans to like them...??
@red: yup.. they shud..otherwise they'll just lose the interest of the fans... i am liking sam's flashback scenes.. but i am really not liking the serious and sobre style they have her in currently - not becuz she isn't acting well in them, but rather becuz the make her seem just boring!
@blue: yaar see.. here's the deal.. the prob is : cv's are not really giving her any comic scenes! i mean thats my BIGGEST prob with them: they give her SERIOUS scenes WITH DUCK.. pb can very well do the comedy aspect... infact we can see from the fb that she wud be able to carry of some good jokes and stuf.. prob is she was given very seriious expressions and dialogues - but she was given the scenes with DUCK who is a COMIC RELIEF.. toh... my confusion was: scene SERIOUS hona tha ya comedy? kyunke for me it was neither!😕 na seriousss - becuz of duck's lame comedy attitude.. and na hi funny scene tha - cuz wht sam was saying was quiet serious...
i don't think she shdu be given only serious scenes.. she SHUD be given comedy scenes.. but the scenes wont be comedy just by having her have serious discussions with a always-joking duck... 😕 do i make sense?😆 she can have awesome coemdy scenes: if they GIVE her comic lines and an actuall funny scenes... what do u think???

well v have to also understand neetu that most ppl here have not seen lrl.. they have no idea who naina is... and thus they have no idea just how awesome PB is in acting.. for many rbo fans rbo was the FIRST time they ever saw pb... and to top it off - all pb's old fans (like me and sehj) had created such a hype abt her DAYS before she even entered... so we kind of raised the bar very high...., in such circumstances, where we have been wowing pb creating such a hype abt it.. for members who have never seen lrl wudn't know wht we meant until they saw/see TERRIFIC acting by pb..it makes sense na? if v were in their place, even v wud need some REAL TERRIFIC acting to seee ke haan bhai yeh sab hype is actor ke baare mein sahi hai the actor really is good! in order for the terrific acting - pb needs some WELL-WRITTEN TERRRIFIC bindaaas scenes! and that v have not been getting since her entry... there have been a few GOOD scenes.. but nothing extraordinary... the flashbacks have been AWESOME though... but other than that, they need to REALLY come up with some excellent scenes so pb cud show her splendid acting and PROVE to the fans who dod not know her from lrl that she indeed is a great actress😊
so my point is, most ppl r not FORGETTING that pb is award-winner, most ppl have just never seen her lrl to know how good she is... if i told u abt some actress u havent even heard the name of, and i start going crazy that she is award winning and all that - wud u accept that she is a splendid actress just based on the hype i create? no right.. ? infact becuz of all the excitement i create, u wud raise ur expectations too high for the "new" actress...
wht the prob here is, i still feel cv's need to handle sam well.. sam's entry scene: GREAT! it was TOO GOOD (well except for the cake snatching😕) PB's acting there in my opinion was reallly good! 😊and her later scenes when she meets with duck - that was too ggood as well.. but since the entry of rahul, she has been made all SERIOUS SOBRE by the cv's... she hardly says anything infront of rahul.. and i know that is becuz she is just too much hurt by him and she gets too lost in past to say anything - but i feel cv's need to bring back the bubblier side of sam.. the one we get to see in flashback.. becuz this way sam's character seems very inconsistent - and then for ppl who don't even know her, such scenes wuud not really help PB win their hearts, right?😳.. the fact that the girl who told shaan not to take tension abt anything is nowww taking rahul so seriously that she has become SOOOO QUIET... 😕 cv's need to REALLY pull up their socks andd handle sam's character well.. cuz it is a very difficult character! they need to balance out her fun side with her hurt side...😊

sid plz dont mind...but its a fact...tht PB wont be able to take places in much space in minds of the viewers off this show becoz its restricted to one word only and dat is called - SHANAK...I am not even sure abt even how much better scenes RASAM get or even they get fanatstic chemistry...dats not going to make much difference............
so its better to forget all these things and just enjoy the show........I am doing the same, becoz i dont think its much of use to plead with the CV'S becoz they will make the show the way like they want to ....as fr rahul and sam....i just want to enjoy watching them even how pathetic their scenes are...what means for me is PB..and she leaves a mark in the end for me and thts enuff..
Note : sorry if i have offended anyone through my post, there is no intention....but my words speaks my mind and sometimes they slip here and there, i apologize if somebody has felt bad...

@Tanvi - I think you mis-understood Zenn and you may not have seen many posts, where we praised Priyanka for her perforamance as the youger Sam....I just posted in the Mayanka thread too....We understand your loyalty to Priyanka.....
@Zen - Those points bothered me too, thanks for posting them😊....As a ShaNak fan, I completely repect that everyone has their favourites and all the actors should get equal scope in the show.....
I think RaSam have potential too....Lets give the CVs time.....I also think RaSam have had, lots of scenes last week....Again fine, this is to establish the story.....The story of the new characters has to be set out.....

biasness towards shanak😆 ok i will touch upon that as well..
see... majority fo rbo fans will be biased towards shanak.. and i or NO1 can blame any1 for that! it is a show which has had only one lead couple since past 8 months - SHANAK... so... ofcourse the fans are gonna be biased towards shanak... and if that bias comes in way of their appreciation of rasam, that is understandable as well..
see i am biased towards pb, i just love the actress she is so damn pretty... so becuz of her i was from the beginning biased towards sam: which basically helped me in understanding her character better! =) and becuz of that i am fully biased towards rasam..
being biased is no prob yaar... what is imp here is we understand that we ARE biased, and becuz we are biased our DEMANDS, our posts, and our wishlist from rbo will also be inclined towards our biases... =) so rasam fans will ask for more screenspace.. while shanak fans will ask for shanak to get the majority of screenspace... we just have to accept this and move on..
move onto, for eg, actually DISCUSSING of the pros and cons of each couple.. of why, for eg, i don't like khanak anymore *ducks shoes*, or why somebody else here doesn't like sam at all *throws shoes* 😆 but we have to keep in mind that we will have disagreements... we have to keep in mind that we are all biased and inclined towards our favs... only then can we have peaceful and meaningful discussions! 😳

siddie! i am loving this healthy discussion yaar! we might not agree but we are still ready to respect each others opinions. btw, priyanka should officially appoint you as her lawyer! you do a great job of defending her😆 i love how fiercely loyal you are to her. acha bus ab enough with only priyanka, before this thread turns into a war zone. i want to hear your views on my take on rasam and shanak as well. i demand that you go and re-read my post!🤣


P.S.

just saw your second reply. siddie, pagli, it's supposed to be the opposite actually. only if one is neutral and unbiased can one actually have a healthy discussion. agar har koi sirf apne favs ko hi support karey ga tab tu ho chuki WWIII!😆

Oh man..ye Zenn bhi naa.Topic open kiya re..😆...Ok i have to give it to you Zenn this is the first time on the forum someone has opened a topic for RS..aur woh bhi mere bahut achhe dost...I am not offended honey.You have raised some valid points but as usual i dont agree with all of them.😆.You know me nah.😆

About screen space it is only last week where Manish and Priyanka have had one solid scene..the jewellery shop one..and they have had a couple of confrontations at the office.Now when i mean screen space..it depends on the way you look at it.For some screen space could be getting 15-20 minutes in a 30 minute episode and for some it is the quality of those minutes..for me RS having a 15 minute long scene that doesn't touch a chord??😕.. i mean i would rather prefer that they have a 10 minute quality scene.Most of her scenes have been with Jas Karan .God they even had her a in a dream with him.😆.You tube hain na..check kar sakte.😆

Now about the dialogues..again if the writers themselves are confused about the plot... how are they going to convey that to the artist??Is there a separate team that handles Shanak and RS scenes?.It appears that way .Again the good dialogues are few and far in between.Consistency is the key here and improvisation which the RBO team lacks at the moment.I mean there is very little the actors can do here.What is a director for?.To enable the actor to convey to the audience what has been conceptualised in the script.Again RBO team..who is your director.Definitely not SWP??.Please get Nissar..or someone who knows how to mould characters in such a way that they seem real to the viewers.

About acting now again I am not saying that they have acted splendid...but just jumping in a show that has been on air for a good 6 months and against actors who have already carved a niche for themselves in the eyes of fans is hardly easy.They are always going to be put under the magnifying glass and compared.😆.Karan and Yashashree already know who Shan and Khanak are.they have lived their life for a good 5 -6 months.Manish and Priyanka dont know who Rahul and Sam are and it is not coz they are not good actors but coz the strong support system tha RBO used to vouch for once upon a time has sadly disintegrated.

Ok i will add a little more later..once i read your post again.


PS: Nice post.!!

FANTASTIC POST Zenn...don;t you dare close it!!!!!!!!!!!

You and the rest of the posters have said it alll....in fact just last night I had a huge discussion with Sidra on Rasam fan page discussing the scenes etc....I think its great that this forum, a representative of the show's fans (no matter how small a group we may be) is testament to the fact that harmonius and intelligent discussions are possible...

CVs should consider themselves lucky that there have been no infighting, no name calling, never any new actor bashing from old fans,,..and even rasam fans will acknowledge this...and frankly we dont appreciate ourselves enough for that....lets us RBO fans give a hand to ourselves for that and Zenn fabulous post...👏👏

hehe.. neetu, i don't think u offended any1, most importantly me toh no ways!😆
becuz whtever u said is absolutely right!👏👏
gosh why does everything in life have to be so complicated yaar?😆 why can't everything just be white and black... one ans for one q!😆 har cheez ke kitne aspects hote hain to consider, no?😆
becuz u r absolutely right on this part.. like i said in my above posts - fans ARE baised..and they r not wrong to be so.. becuz they have been watching, and fallen in love with, only one couple when it comes to rbo... so for them to be OK with a new coupleentering and being potentially parallel leads - no, i dont think thats gonna sit well at all with fans.. and i agree with u neetu : no matter how terrific rasam scenes wud be, there r a bunch of fans in whose hearts PB or rasam will not be able to make a place... 😳
for rasam to truly make place in everyone's heart, the interest from shanak wud need to be diminished!😆 array suno toh sahi sab! lol! all i mean to say is, the fact, that jab tab everyone will be crazy over shanak, they wont feel the need to attach their interests and craze on some other couple.. take me for eg: my interest was GONE from shanak... which is why i found it so easy to accept and love rasam... had my interest still been in majorly shanak, then i wudnt have felt the need to be so crazy of rasam... 😊
talking abt biases, zenn, and everyone else i will say this: this is the first time i am saying this!😆 but i just want to get over with it:
here's the deal guys.. being a rasam fan, i don't care even one bit whether rasam have any relevance to shanak story or not *ducks the gunshots*.. and i DO NOT mean to say this in offending way.. and plz do not tell me to get out of here!😆 wht i mean is... being only interested in sam and rahul's character story, and the actors themselves.. i don't care whether they have a story with shanak or not.. i wud be pretty happy to have khanak and sam never be friends 😆 all i want is sam's character to be back to the bindaaas girl in the entry episode.. and all i want is to see some real gud love story b/w rasam.. other than that, i dont care even if shanak move to north pole and rasam to south pole!😆 - BECUZ I AM BIASED... 😊 becuz of the fact that i want to see a change - and PB for me is the change - so much i don't even care if her character doesnt gel at all with the main lead - as long as i get to see her play sam.. i am good! like neetu said!😳😆infact me and sehjal keep joking around about how we just want an RBO SPINOFF!with RASAM!😆😆😆😆😆
now... in the above para: did i not sound like crazy?? i did right?😊 u guys must have wanted to throw shoes at me right??😆 so why wud i say such an illogical thing?? becuz i am biased.. and my biases have coloured my perception.. our biases colour our perception.. and we need to accept this and move on..!😊
