What happened when you root for a different character? - Page 2

I don't qualify in either. I am supporting Bajaj, and I love KSG too. However, in today's episode I felt a lot for AnuPre, and didn't feel like rooting for PreRish. But it's pretty cool that a lot of people have such nice different views. XD

Just unable to root. I really tried but :(

Happens often. We think we are watching shows for actors but many subconsciously continue to watch shows for characters only. That's where writing becomes very important.

I have left many shows of my favorite actors only because I couldn't stand their characters & characterization in the show along with the plot.

I absolutely loved Parica in their last shows but I am watching KZK right now only because of Bajaj's character which I find intriguing right now.

I wouldn’t say I love KSG, but I do like KSG as an actor the most and was looking forward to him. I so want to root for him, but Bajaj is just too nasty and disgusting for me to do so. I wish he was playing a different character I could root for. So even though I like KSG a lot, I am rooting for Anupre or whoever is the innocent and right for me is. Even if I love an actor, if the character that actor plays is bad, I can’t root for them. I couldn’t root for Nandini in Silsila for the same reason even though I love dd. I don’t know how most fans do it. I am character fan first I guess. I get connected to character first.

This happens with me. I start watching a show for the actor and then start rooting for the character even if it means going against my fave.

Yes I understand the example that u gave about DD. Same happened with me. I loved Asha-Rithvik in Pavitra rishta , but fell for Onir's character and shipped him though I knew it was a lost ship.

thats why i always love character more than actor

Same here. I have quit many shows where my fav few actors were in it and didn’t even finish as I couldn’t take their ruined character and crap story anymore.

Yup, like someone gave example. I liked DD & shakti, but found their characters disgusting in the show. I was watching only for Mauli though I never even knew she existed before the show.

I have also left few serials even though I liked the actors because of character butchering.

I guess we subsconsiously choose our favourite character over our favourite actor in the show.

DD in silsila, Barun in IPK3, Shaheer in Salim Anarkali, Surbhi, Anita & Rajat in Naagin, Shraddha in Kundali & this list goes on. I loved actors but I couldn't stand their characters.

On the other side, I fell in love with many actors only because of their characters- Aditi as Mauli, Erica as Sonakshi, Shaheer as Dev, Parth as Manik, Harshad as Sahir & Aditya & so on.

Everyone began watching that show for DD & Shakti & the intriguing plot. But their characters were so bad that only Mauli came out as ultimate winner & the brilliance with which Aditi portrayed her was commendable. That show made Aditi shine as an actor & Mauli as a character. Aditi wasn't even promoted as a main character but the show turned on the other two & made it her journey. That's the beauty of nicely written characters people root for in the long run.
