That is where quality of storyline and script was compromised to accommodate V ... As for "other characters" no show can run with two characters only this show needed other characters but unfortunately in their love for one character they did not give other characters their due often and ignored them and that includes jhanvi herself ... you have a right to disagree but this is my opinion and epis after Raghav's entry where he was more or less an extra are a proof ... no more on this from me
Who said you can't have your own opinion? You can have an opinion and I will counter your opinion if need be. That is called a discussion.
Like Athena said, a show can run on two characters speficially if the show is only about those two characters. In this case it is Viraj and Jhanvi. No, not just Jhanvi. The first promo did say "Jhanvi ki kahani" but that meant crap pretty soon after the show started. It quickly became Viraj's story as well. And no matter how much people oppose/deny this, he brought in the TRPs and made the show popular for what it was.
The rest of the characters - you know who I'm talking about, are suppose to help the storyline but not take over the entire show. Especially since they have no connection to the story, at least the way the CVs are going about this, they have absolutely no connection.
Now, about Viraj getting "overexposed"... what? He's the lead character, if they won't show him (and Jhanvi) who else will they show? Like Athena said again, there was a time when I felt Jhanvi didn't have much to do, particularly during the Dadi track, but she soon gained importance again. Of course they had to show Viraj after Jhanvi's death. The audience wanted to know how he coped with her death. The CVs could have shown that much better than they did, but just because Jhanvi "died" it doesn't mean they were going to stop showing Viraj till months after. This is not a movie. And if they don't show the lead character for that long of a duration, the actor in particular, will feel like he's been cheated. The "silly" things that the CVs made him do then did not harm the character. No one complained about Viraj then. It actually made him funny and interesting. They are however making him do silly things now, reasons which I do not need to elaborate on. I've said it enough in other topics.
Viraj didn't lose any appeal supposedly due to "overexposure". He is still the only interesting character. The CVs can make him dumb, they can make him goofy, they can make him anything they want, but the basic characterization of Viraj and the way KVB portrays him, he will always bring entertainment.
The CVs can still keep the curiosity and fear if they stick to his original characterization. This Viraj we are seeing today is not the old Viraj (no matter how much some claim he is), and I don't need to reiterate again and again why they have dumbed down Viraj. It's obvious now.
I didn't want to go specific in my last post but since you mentioned the unnecessary characters, the show had to accommodate them, or the CVs felt this desperate need accommodate them therefore the quality got compromised. Raghav, alright he came into this show as a "helper" for Jhanvi but his past, his family they all were unnecessary as they wanted to give him a backstory. They wanted to make him "complicated" and "complex". His family, his past have nothing to do with the show. They had to bring these in to glorify him thus, compromising on the quality.
Raghav is no more an "extra". Those days after his entry are long gone so we cannot blame only Viraj in regards to anything. The other characters hog the screen as well, sometimes much more than him.
