IMHO being a parallel lead in YRHPK is a bigger deal than being a lead in a show like YTG. Can understand why Avinash would have looked at this as an excellent opportunity for him.

Avinash seems confident and has good screen presence. I think him and Kaveri would look great together. Hope Kunal and Kuhu get a well fleshed out track.

Star pays it's actor more than other channel.

I completely agree with you. I also know that there are those people who had to work regardless of a pandemic. Those that were scared and yet had to carry on.

There are so many examples of so many essential workers who have worked during the pandemic.

shelf stackers in supermarkets, delivery drivers, essential work engineers, emergency works engineers, hospital cleaners and porters, bank tellers, supermarket security workers, paramedics, pharmacy staff, nurses and doctors. People who have worked all through this pandemic, stayed away from their families to minimise risk to them.

These people did not bargain for a pandemic. Those doctors, pharmacists, nurses did not go to university thinking there would be a pandemic that they would have to work through. Those who wanted to specialise in working in infectious diseases went to work for medicins sans frontiers or worked at their individual country's infectious diseases specialist hospital or worked in a country with high infectious diseases prevalence for a few years. You think when many countries had their peaks they were not scared? off course they were; yet they carried on. Their families were not calling hospital CEOs going "can they have a pay rise?" it is easy to say this is their job...but like i said none of them ever thought this would happen.

Those supermarket workers who had to remind people to follow rules; those technicians and plumbers that had to go to someone's home to fix things. Those teachers that had to be at school for emergency worker children that were the only people going to school because their parents were at work.

Someone in their early 20s with no underlying health issues is at the lowest risk of any complications (and if he had underlying conditions then he should have been honest and clear with the PH).

I am sorry but as much as I liked how well he played Kunal, I am finding it very difficult to sympathise with him.

Well put. I agree with you . But I also don’t want to judge Ritwik considering how young he is. He is just a 22 year old who wanted his dad to talk for him .

Asking for double pay and telling the ph to not negotiate was a bit too much. Any ph would have been pissed off. I have heard nothing but good things about dkp from the cast (donno about other shows). They have taken considerable precautionary measures. That also might have costed them a lot. Added to that the trp and new time slot pressure. Too much to handle.

Ritwik probably thought his character dint have much to offer anymore since all his major tracks were done. Like the Parul revelation , baba track, kuhu marriage track, break up, patch up. Felt he would have left anyway. Bas yeh sab drama na hota to accha hota.

I still do not think being young is an excuse. A bachelor's degree in nursing is 3 years. That would make a newly qualified nurse working on a respiratory ward where these COVID 19 patients would be admitted around 21 - 22. The same age as Ritwik. A teaching assistant would perhaps be the same age. There were consultant physicians over 50 who were seeing COVID patients first; retired doctors, nurses, pharmacists came back to work - perhaps the highest risk age group as numerous countries' retirement age is over 65. That young nurse's parents were not calling the chief medical officer or the secretary of state for health's office asking for a raise. Regardless of being the most deserving.

A lot of health care professionals' parents were very scared. Yet they carry on.

He could have handled it a lot better. His parents should have shown maturity.

I just cannot see how any of this is justified.

I haven't seen any of his shows...but he seems to be relaxed with the team...

Welcome and all the best...

May you take Kunal to new heights..

And don't get me wrong, I really appreciate Ritvik for his acting skills and his contribution to the show in a major way, I was sincerely hoping he would resume playing the part and was upset to read the way RS spoke about him, not taking into account how he is still a young actor and this was just his second show. But seeing Ritvik's posts and comments on IG, my perception has changed. It's hard to take the gracious behaviour at face value now as it is coming across as more of a damage control. Maybe am being a bit too harsh but that is how I genuinely feel.

I have always watched the show starting off as a Shaheer fan alone but I loved the chemistry that the brothers had and will surely miss that.

As for my two cents , RS is also under a lot of pressure because of all the financial constraints that they would have had to face due to the lockdown and he would surely not have expected to be handling this in between getting ready to shoot . This I think would have pissed off the PH more than anything else. Also he will need to be transparent with the audience because if he does not then everyone is going to be demanding for Ritwik to return and it looks like all of the cast is also fond of him.

As for Ritwik , he mentioned that he had lost his uncle and I am sure the family must be still in trauma . Given that he is the son of teh house , it must be tough for him to leave his parents and move to Mumbai should anything happen to them then they may not have the support if he is bound to shoot for the show. Hence his father may have handled it in the best way they thought. Ritwik also must have been stuck between returning to work in a set that he very much seemed to love vs. being there for his parents.

Unfortunately for him, it was not handled well. It would have been easier for him to just let the PH know that he cannot resume as he needed to be there for his parents. As for the tracks , he always had great scenes with Abir . It was the Kuku track that was quite stuck . I don’t think that had much to do with his decision . We even had him get married again while Mishbir got a jhatpat midnight wedding .

We all will miss his acting and all the great chemistry that they had. I think it’s going to be tough for Shaheer and Kaveri to take off where Ritwik left. We can already see that they also wish that things were different.

Let’s hope the new guy is good . I have never watched him but he looks close enough to Kunal for us to relate to him. We should all give him a fair chance since it’s not his fault to replace an actor last minute .

P.S. Kaveri is often age shamed.

Age shamed? Really?? Why would anybody do that😒
