I've stalked this forum for a long time but I don't usually say much but I've recently seen a lot of posts recently that basically pose the question why Kaira? Why do people support them, especially in this track? Why not Keesh? Well I, as obnoxious as it may be of me, have decided that I have way too much free time and would love to answer this question a.k.a I have a lot of work and would rather spend my time analyzing a fictional couple I love on a post that will get zero to a bare minimum of replies cause damn this forum is kinda dead.
Here's my two cents about this track. I am biased, but not delusional enough to think that Kartik isn't wrong in this track. Because he is, largely so and he deserved a lot of what he got on Friday. But if you look at ITV and it's history of crap ML's whose entire existence is to torture a bechari FL for revenge or something and they practically get away with murder, it ain't that hard to understand Kartik whose intentions have been very clearly his wife's health. I'm scared of MOD's and fandom wars so I won't mention names *cough* Gul shows *cough* but ITV abusive males have been lapped up because of nothing but good looks. Kartik, not so much this year, has a history of being a pretty great husband so this, good intention wala mistake, doesn't come off so bad. Forget ITV look at Tv shows. Chuck sold Blair for a hotel, Ezra, a teacher, lied to Aria, a student, and dated her to write a book. These are celebrated couples. If you think about it, Kartik Goenka doesn't seem so bad anymore. But really, it's the sympathetic dialogues and most of all Mohsin's delivery of it that will never let any dedicated Kaira fan (that's me and also other fandom's as twitter has proved) hate Kartik, even if he is wrong this time. He pulls on heartstrings and when he breaks, you can't help but not hate him. People have forgiven ML's for much more, they'll forgive KG too.
Speaking of acting, well that's really it; that and Chemistry. That is why it's Kaira and not Keesh. People forget, but this wasn't the original leap in YRKKH. They tried with Rohan too but that didn't work. There was an attempted transition there too, to make both Akshara-Naitik/Rohan-Tara, leads together it didn't work. But with Mohsin Shivangi it happened so naturally. Audience, TRP and Online, loved (still love obvi) them. This is where Keesh lack. I'm not talking about Shehzad here because he just entered, I like him after Bepannah but really he can't do anything. The quite inconsistent writing and somewhat bad portrayal by both the previous actors, has left him with a pretty hated character. Mohena, on the other hand, is unfortunately not quite there as an actresses. That's why, in an episode like Friday''s where it should have been her time to shine, the buzz is around Shivangi's breakdown in the last 5 minutes. It's not entirely her fault, because she hasn't been given the good arch or story to follow.
But here's a slightly controversial opinion: The Kaira story line is not extraordinary by any means. In fact it's pretty common. Their love story is beautiful no doubt, but nothing that hasn't been seen. What sets it apart is Shivangi and Mohsin, their brilliant acting and their chemistry that is near perfect. They perform well excited/written tracks amazingly but they are also of a high enough caliber, to perform well in terribly executed/written tracks Emotional scenes, I've seen many great actors excel. But their charm is their subtlety. So why Kaira? Well here's my answer. It's not Kaira. At the end of the day, be it onscreen or offscreen it's Shivin that fans love, because they don't act Kaira, they embody it.
