And totally we all watch for entertainment but how we react to that entertainment is up to us. On which rock is it written if we watch a show we are obliged to be only full of praise and appreciation for whatever crap the writers dish out? If some of us enjoy picking up on the loopholes and craptastic plots and unrealistic behavior, why on earth should it steam anyone else’s clams?
And ugh this delusional excuse of “protecting” Harshad’s feelings - as though he is some naazuk child🤣 Acting is not a profession for the faint hearted and thin skinned - I’m sure he’s dealt with worse and more personal criticism from creatives, directors, critics etc. Give the man some credit - geez!
Thank you for this balanced and sensible take 🤗
Thank you for the conversation 🤗
I enjoy talking about the characters I watch. I've always liked listening to and reading stories, and critiquing the plot, story, character, etc. is very natural when we watch something.
In fact, HC himself trolls his shows, his characters, other characters, etc., though he's also very attached to his characters. He's said that he becomes the character and the character becomes him 😆 But that's onscreen only. Abhi's actions being trolled doesn't mean that Harshad is trolled.
It's cool as long as Harshad the person isn't bashed. And people here know the difference between Harshad and Abhi, so it's all cool.
I really wished they didn't show the office dance on the day Akshara joined the Birla hospital, and the bike hand grabbing. There are several other utterly idiotic things that the show dishes out, and it's absolutely right that it gets called out.
This show has been on-air for 13 years now, and the makers think they will get TRPs irrespective of whatever they show. I don't see the "creativity" that's needed for good story development and that needs to be said.
