I m feeling a little silly asking this, but why is everyone referring to the CBI officer (adhiraj is it ? ) as Male Lead ? Was it mentioned anywhere?

Coz it's basically story of a teenager and her conflicts with her mom. If there needs to be a boyfriend angle then it ll be someone of her own age rt?

I wasn't sure first, I didn't want to be sire first. It did look like he was some main character by the way he made an entry -which I tried declining- but then I came on IF and everyone was referring to him as ML. Blah. There are articles around stating the same from what I've heard. Ridiculous isn't? He's so much older than her! She's just 17! Yes, a teenager!! Dudeee!!! Hell-oo!!! Too young! They'll freaking get her married by next year if it's an older guy. Ridiculousness at its peak. But that's just me making predictions so it doesn't mean it has to happen. But u agree right, that she's too young for him? Plus u r right, the show was supposed to be about mother daughter bonding -or not one at that- but this ML track with this guy... The only reason I can give myself is there aren't any good actors left who wants to work on SP as they wont be given an equal importance as the FL which is totally understand. Or maybe SP wants to scream out loud that the show will be Female oriented (which we already guessed) by bringing him in. It's sad when I see all the good male actors turning to bollywood. Parth SSamthaa, you'll always remind me that there can be good male actors on TV too. Bro heart to heart!

^^There is a india forum article where they reported that this guy is the male lead and he bagged this show after 100 auditions.

Well this actor is quiet wooden . Perfect plank 😳 he can not emote to save his life and his shortcomings are highlighted coz everyone in the show is pure perfection. I hope he improves when he starts having scenes with the main cast, some of their intensity might rub off on him. Looks like he has mugged up his lines and delivers them in a very disinterested way.

@bold so I've heard🤔 How did he click for them? *Have to give him time*

agree dat he looks older dan anami. also agree dat he aint dat a grt actor nd his expressions r quite wooden esply when da show has such amazing actors. 😆 bt den again hez playing a cop so him being a lil older is ok nd as 4 acting,since its his 1st show,m willing 2 give him some time at least till when we gt a clear idea of his character nd his interaction wid anami. plus he was chosen after 100 auditions so da makers must 've cn sth in him 2 give him dis many chances even after knwing da acting skills of rest of da cast. ehhh I must b da odd 1 whoz willing 2 give him chance 🤣

I see what you mean. As a cop he's being open minded. I see why I don't see pain in his eyes. But blah that sounds like an exuse. He just doesn't look like a cop to me. You get more desciplined. You get some kind of crispness in yourself. He only looks like a cop when he talks to his assistant. Nd I actually like their conversations! The only thing that saved his entry was his background music for me :X enough said I guess he clicked with u which is good because he'll be there im the future! So I just need to accept him~

But yes I agree!! It does look like thw CVs have done their homework! So I guess I should be more patient~ I will be, I will be!😆

Maybe 100 auditions made him a better actor. I'll give him a benefut of doubt... After I end up liking a good enough scene of his 😛😆

I felt he and his assistant are kind of inspired from the show Arjun..i.e Arjun and Riya.

@kairavi You are not the only one. I am ok with his acting as well. Seems to be in character. And he is not so sympathetic with laal Mahal people , the way he said bavandhar mai fhus Gaya laal Mahal.

@bold I know, that's why I liked it 🤣

I think he doesn't fit the intensity of all the other characters. The actors are phenomenal actors and pull the audience - but with him when his scenes come around he's average he's not bad he's just not at everyone else's level

He has failed to impress me so far, but I'm willing to give him some time. So far he's only really been given a few scenes and they all require him to just play this CBI officer with a mysterious past and a hidden agenda. Maybe once he starts getting some more important scenes, we'll see him improve.

Maybe the actor is nervous as it's his first break into the industry after a lot of struggles. However, I find him a weak point in this entire show. I hope he gets better when he gets feedback and performance better or maybe that's how his character is meant to be shaped up ie bad past.

thoughts?

I think I get it! Nd I totally agree now! I noticed I didn't hate his as much, or at all, in the last episode. His anger came out and was visible somewhat on his face when he was pointing the gun at that killer. Plus I know I was catching up on few episodes when the CBI guy made his entry. It was in the middle of high voltage drama, where Vatsalya died. Everyone was giving their best shots and his didn't match up to their level unfortunately. The timing was pretty off for his entry (for the actor not the character)
