All her recent shows, especially the finite shows are characterized by stupid casting of leads.
EK just casts tv actors with a little bit of renown in the industry as good actors as lead pairs in her "finite shows" regardless of their suitability to the particular role EK has assigned them.
And obviously, their reputation in the industry gets marred afterwards because they couldn't do justice to their roles as the roles they were assigned didn't fit well with their acting style .
Also the lead couple doesn't look good together and sometimes even have bad chemistry.
Remember Kawach?
In that show,EK had cobbled together Mona Singh and Vivek Dahiya, who neither look good with each other nor they have good chemistry.
Mona is a good actress-but honestly, I feel it was wrong on EK's part to cast her this role.
Also due to the bad characterization, her acting looked cringeworthy to me and I feel she doesn't have the kind of personality playing Paridhi(her character) requires.
The FL of this Kawach type of shows protecting her hubby from evil with all her might needs to have an innocence and freshness within her-Mona lacked these qualities and looked decisively old compared to Vivek.
Then came Brahmarakshas, with Aham Sharma struggling to play a Casanova.
Aham is a serious good actor, but I feel he's not suitable for light hearted comic roles like Rishabh Shrivastava.
He also don't look good with Krystle- but then, Krystle is so beautiful that she makes anyone look good with her 😆
But then, Aham gave his beest efforts to justify his role- I will give him marks for that.
Also Rishabh had some intense emotional scenes and Aham did well on that, considering that Aham is known for playing intense roles.
So see, Hiring KVB as Rocky isn't an isolated decision on Ekta's part.
She's hell bent on her beliefs that good actors can do justice to all kind of roles they're given.
While this is true to some extent, none of the actors Ekta thinks as good actors of the Indian TV industry are as versatile as Kinshuk Mahajan.
Kinshuk looks good with everybody he works with as well as he makes a badly written role good.
I think if KM played Rocky, he would be not as much as disliked as KVB is.
Ekta needs to understand that there is a hell and heaven difference between being a good actor and being a versatile actor.
A versatile actor needs to be good, but that doesn't mean good actors are always versatile.
An actor can always give his/her best towards playing a role, but if the role in question don't fit his/her personality type and acting style, the role is bound to become a failure.
The maximum people can say is:The actor is a good actor but the role didn't suit him.
But even then, other actors except KVB got accepted by the respective shows fandoms because:
1) They were the lead couples from the beginning so we didn't have choice regarding chemistry.
2) All the misfit actors put in their best to convince the audience that they won the role after going through auditions.
KVB has joined the show as the male lead in S2, so he's certain to get some bashing as he's replacing Arjun Bijlani, who gained appreciation for his stellar performance and chemistry with Mouni.
But KV bashing has reached to this point only because KVB thought he can get away without trying to act since it's Naagin.
But he's completely wrong.
Maybe Naagin 2 is still a Top 3 show, but he needs to realize that he has got a lot of bashing only because he didn't put in the efforts to act.
Also looks are important- KVB's werewolf looks coupled with sea horse hairstyle and mahogany streaked hair colour doesn't go well with Mouni's porcelain skin.
Both Kinshuk and Arjun are fair- I hate to be a racist but EK needed to choose a young looking fair skin guy opposite Mouni.
KV is a bit too tanned and old looking to look good with Mouni.
I know EK hates typecasting- but her recent casting experiments have all flopped, so maybe it's time for her to be a little bit safe regarding casting her leads.
And you know, the epic flopping of KVB as Rocky hasn't slowed down Ekta yet .
She has again done Chandrakanta with 2 misfit and old looking leads who neither look good with each other nor is pleasant on the eye generally.
They also don't have much chemistry but again, it was only the 1st episode so I have to wait.
But then again, I dunno if I could tolerate this torture once again
Personally, EK's Chandrakanta was a horror experience for me due to the bad looking Chandrakanta and Virendra to the point that I think that their respective mothers look younger and prettier than them🤢
Casting of leads are very important- it can make or break a show.
But EK only concentrates on finding the perfect villain or vamp(read Sasu maa) for her supernatural finite shows.
Villains are an important part of the show, and negative role casting needs to be right too.
But I feel EK needs to stop thinking that Villains run the show and she can hire almost anyone as her leads.
Naagin 2 runs on the goodwill of S1, but Kawach, Brahmarakshas didn't have this luxury.
So they went off air and out of mind with Jupiter's escape velocity and EK's newer shows nowadays don't make much impact.
Even Naagin series is dying a slow death .
Gone are the days when EK could go away with casting a uglylooking bad male lead who gives off negative vibes and really can't act in her shows.
Bad casting kills the big budget Mega Tv Show, like Video Killed the radio star.🤣
