I'm sorry guys .. but I have to disagree with most of you with regards to GK's interview.
First of all .. this interview is about YPNHK .. and so, naturally most of the questions are about YPNHK, with 1-2 personal questions and related to his previous work. When LNMDJ was launched, and all the interviews he gave then .. it was the same case .. with most questions about the show with only a mention of his previous work. I don't think he spoke about his other shows or his co-stars from Kumkum, Jeevan Saathi or Santaan in any of his previous interviews, has he? One thing we need to understand is that actors are always under the scanner .. and the channel & PH usually keep tabs on such interviews (I know .. coz there are many TB articles that are usually press releases, and the PH & Channel keep tabs on them to guage the reactions.) Considering that .. I think his answer on LNMDJ was very diplomatic .. but a wise one! An actor needs to be diplomatic in such cases .. and not put his foot in his mouth, or very soon .. he'll be sitting at home with no work! This kinda interview is more professional than anything else .. whereas interviews like we've had in TT & IF .. its easier to move beyond your profession and give a glimpse of how your interpersonal relationships are on the sets.
Speaking of fans and hurting his fanbase .. its not like GK has never spoken about his LNMDJ co-stars. In most of his interviews .. more than speaking about himself .. he always speaks about how the industry has got such talented newcomers .. and that working in LNMDJ is like going to college! If he doesn't speak about them in any of his interviews .. doesn't mean he has moved on from them to other co-stars and friends. As example: Gaurav holds Husein Tina in high esteem .. considers Husein his elder brother .. but just coz they haven't worked together after Kumkum .. doesn't mean he loves Husein Tina any less na? LNMDJ may be ending .. but the bond these guys have formed, is special, right? You move on from one job to another .. but relationships formed, remain.
How many of you watched Gaurav-Yami's TT interview? I'm guessing .. very few. He got many questions about Prithvi & LNMDJ .. and he answered each one of them .. and thanked all his fans who complimented him about Prithvi. He did not "avoid" any LNMDJ questions .. even though the interview was on the sets of YPNHK with Yami sitting beside him!
Someone here (sorry..don't remember who it was 😕) mentioned that how can Gaurav forget LNMDJ which gave him all the success! Sorry .. I beg to differ! Gaurav has seen success earlier .. with Kumkum, Meri Doli and Jeevan Saathi .. he's been in the industry for 4 years now. Its a different thing that most of you here noticed him as Prithvi. Gaurav has had a successful run as an actor .. and LNMDJ just about enhanced it. Currently, most YPNHK fans in the forum have noticed him since he started playing Abeer .. but that doesn't mean that YPNHK has brought him all the success and fan following! His success has been growing .. and thats a mark of a good actor .. which he is! Success is relative .. and in most cases, very fickle! In the television industry .. you are successful as long as you are seen on television. Its a case of "out of sight .. out of mind", moreso in the recent past .. with PH's wanting to launch more and more new faces.
All of us here may think that Prithvi is his best role .. Kumkum fans may think Sharman is his best .. YPNHK fans may think Abeer is his best. But the day Gaurav starts thinking that any one of his role is his best .. his career will come to a standstill .. and he'll be sitting home!! Coz then there will be nothing more to explore! If SRK got the best actor award for DDLJ and stopped to think that was his best .. he would never have challenged himself to what he has done now in My Name Is Khan! 😳
I dunno if I should say this .. but am saying it anyways. I hope no one gets offended All I'd like to say is .. when you love an actor/actress .. love them unconditionally, with no strings attached. If we attach conditions .. we will end up being hurt .. actors will do their job and move on, na?
I really hope I haven't offended anyone .. and if anyone is hurt .. I'm really very sorry.
