Well said! I totally agree! Bidaai is definitely a cut above most soaps....The only thing K-shows had going for them were that Kekta usually picks very good actors for her leads....but that can only take a show so far once the storyline turns complete crap....which happens usually within a couple months of her shows starting😆😆
Although, frankly out of her recent shows, even the quality of actors she's picking has been going down....Harshad Chopra is the only new guy in her camp who I've found impressive....the rest are not really that good.....and the especially pale in comparison to the original great BT actors from the original three soaps like Kyunki, Kahaani and KZK....
Yeah, for once I'd like to see Ekta focus on her storyline rather than the lead jodi. Though, I guess she realised a long time ago that the USP of her shows lies in the chemistry of the main lead pair, so she uses that to toy with the emotions of the fans of those jodis, knowing that a portion of the viewers will continue to watch as long as the show is still on, the chemistry still strong and there is some hope of the jodi reuniting (despite how ever many years it takes them). I have got to hand it to Ekta, her stories might be crap, but she sure knows how to pull in some viewers and keep 'em on her side.
As for the quality of actors, she definately seems to be going more for pretty faces than actual acting talent in her recent shows. Harshad, as far as I've seen, is a relatively capable actor, but I still want to see him in a non-lover-boy role just to see if he can pull it off.
