Nikki & Madhura!!!
I am gonna address all the issue here, so not quoting individually.
Nikki!
Fans' biased nature is something I can never comprehend. I mean sure, we all have favorites and at points we support them despite not giving their best but then again, there should be a limit. And don't get me wrong guys, I have seen people arguing about their favorites but Indian audiences are definitely thousand notch ahead when it comes to supporting or bashing and they hardly understand the line where it should stop.
I have been giving Shruti and Shezaan a lot of lease because of the poor script and I have actually seen ace actors to fail in their respective portrayal due to this reason. Hell, I have had issues with Niyati's portrayal of certain scenes specially at the beginning when she used to get scared. But if there are 9 bad shots, at least excel in 1 for God's sake. And Shruti hasn't done one scene where you can actually applaud her. Shezaan - I'll give him some credit for that evil smirk but his portrayal of a mentally challenged guy is horrible.
Never been a fan of Ssharad Malhotra's acting and specially formed a negative opinion after his break up with Divyanka but now I must admit. That guy was lakh times better in Dulhaan where he had to portray a mentally challenged person and it was his debut show.
So there's a limit up to which you can give someone the benefit of the doubt.
And in the female dominated medium of TV, if I have to take name of two actors are genuinely talented and can excel in all categories then I'll take Karan Patel & Shravan Reddy's name. But a friend of mine told me once that soon after KD ended and the leap was introduced in NK, many fans went gaga over Zain Imam and what's worse, they started insulting Shravan. I have never found Zain to be that extraordinary. Heck - I find him swagging always and he gets away with it because of his good look. So what can you expect from fans?
I remember some Shruti fan was going gaga over her introduction scene and how excellent it was and when I saw it my reaction was - are you freaking kidding me?
1.3 isn't high but they don't have any competition. So they'll take another 200 episodes to completely destroy Nazar's legacy from what it seems. 🤔
Nikki and Madhura!!!
I won't call Shruti selfish because that would be attacking personally and surely we don't want to do that because we are talking about fictional shows.
Logically I feel, she hasn't seen the show at all and it was easy to take Mona's name because she is the face of the show.
Now I don't blame her. Actors don't get to watch their own shows. So many times Sana has mentioned in her IVs that she hardly watched any episode of KD when it was on air but when fans made creations or tagged her in videos, she realized that she and Shravan had actually done a terrific job. Even I watched an IV of Priyal where she openly said she doesn't watch TV at all and she could hardly answer any question during a TV related quiz and burst out laughing.
So it's okay if you don't know. But why faking it? This happened during Charmed Reboot too when the new actresses boasted so much about women empowerment and later when fans started scrutinizing their IVs, finally they said - they had no idea about the original series. It only showed how fickle they are.
So that's the thing. Can't say she is selfish or arrogant but showing honesty would only increase her goodwill, not decrease it.
