Giaa chose Jhalak knowing that SP doesnt make empty threats. So what to say when obv what a person wants to do is more important?
I understand the change is sudden and unexpected, but thats why the character is ALWAYS more important than the actor. I like Gopi. I liked Giaa as Gopi and I'm starting to like Debo as Gopi. As long as the PH don't tamper with the characterizations, why is it such a big deal that some people moved on?
Actually, I feel that maybe the viewers don't understand the concept of TV serials. They are supposed to fall in love with the characters of the soaps. Gopi hasn't changed.
Even if people are HUGE Giaa fans, isn't her preference more important then? Just going crazy because an actress wanted to try something new and had the guts to no take heed of the warning of SP, should we all become angry and sulky? Actors are actors and they go where they want or where there's money.
So I have moved on. And so has my family. Win-win for all of us.
Hi,
I will reply to the bold part of your post in another reply, since I want to put it in third page.
For other points, people relate more to a face than character in serials, because we are seeing it not imagining. Imagination part comes when we read a novel. To relate a face to the characters, we watch serials/movies. I never had a face to Harry Potter when I read the first book. But after the movie came, can you imagine Potter with another face?
I never said in my post that Gia is not completely at fault. I even agree that it may be her decision. But what I dont agree with is viewers taken into a ride by SP/PH/Gia whoever it is. If it was solely her decision to quit overnight, I even feel she should be punished by bringing back to the show she quit. But I feel it is not her decision. Because all the scenes they have shown tilll date was already being shot with Gia, and behind her back they even bought a replacement.
About Devoleena, I dont hate her. I even appreciate her for taking such a big risk. Even she knows she is going to be criticised.You cannot expect a new person to perform exactly the same way from first day. I will also like her if I watch her. But I am not going to watch.. that is another case.
I have mentioned in my replies and other post that Gia is not a victim. I even updated my post, if it has made some confusion. Sorry for that. She is already popular and her popularity is going to increase ten fold next week.
I also want to add apoint about other actors in the show. They are also going to suffer by this stupid decision. Even if people like you are still watching, half of the people has stopped watching. You can see it from the general ambience of the forum. Rest half will stop this week, since Cv s continued with same story line and audience got their happy ending. Loose ends of the show like Holi rememberance is tied. CVs did not even gave time for audience to connect with new Gopi.
Actor like Nazim, who was always overshadowed by Gia, is carrying the show on his shoulder this week. He is getting chance to show his real talent, but how long this can continue? How will they bring the audience back to the show who has already left because they are taken on a ride?
