I agree with you, Cynthia.

I updated my post above while you wrote this post of yours that I've quoted, so here is all that I wrote about Balram being made fun of and what I think of it:

Balram being so easily fooled by Krishna seems to be the current thing the CVs are milking for laughs. Frankly I'm getting tired of it, although it is still a bit amusing and is nowhere near as irritating as the time they had Yashoda constantly running after Balram to punish him. It's ok with Balram-Krishna as they are brothers and know of each others divine reality, but I do wish the CVs would stop making fun of Balram for no actual reason in general; it is getting tiresome and I would rather just see him actually being funny himself rather than that in combination with him being made fun of so much by so many people and often for no good reason, like with those girls putting his bed in a muddy area when he visited Chandravalli's home during the Govardhan pooja time! smiley5 (Why? Just why??? Another silly thing that didn't actually contribute anything to the story at all!)

I think they're looking for a way to keep him in action.

You don't see it with cows anymore. He no longer does manual work the last time was when Yashoda was pretending to look for a wife for him.

As it is Krishna's "right arm" he must be present it is not like Rohini or Nand who disappears with the wind...

For the girls who put her bed in the mud I really didn't understand that part. Especially Balram is not an ordinary human being. They should have had trouble moving it...

But I understand your feeling. When I prefer it to be cKanha who makes jokes about it because it highlights their complicity for others, it will depend on the context.

Just why??? Another silly thing that didn't actually contribute anything to the story at all!)

@Bold, red from Tusu: I don't know what the complaining people see when they watch/see Balram on screen - maybe just a fast-moving blur of blue, like during the pehelwaan nritya! 🤣 In which case, I'm surprised that they can actually recognise Basant! 🤣

Even if they can't differentiate between patterns and so don't realise how many different costumes he has actually worn in the show, I don't understand how these people can't see that there are SOME different blue costumes just from the different shades of blue! Unless of course, if they have colour-vision issues that make it difficult for them to tell the different blue shades apart - in which case, fair enough! (I would think that people with colour-vision issues would quite likely also have trouble telling Krishna's costumes apart.) Of course, people with actual colour-vision issues are unlikely to actually complain about colour-related things like this! 😆

Tusu, I agree with you that the complainers are just saying silly things for no good reason, just to get some kind of attention. (After all, as the saying goes, empty vessels make the most noise!) Of all the feedback Swastik Productions took into account, though, it was this??? I wish they would instead listen to people's actual constructive criticism about things like their unnecessary over-fictionalisation and shoddy treatment/degradation of the essence of revered/beloved/divine characters instead of such silly things! (Although, they may have taken some viewer feedback into account in stopping the ridding-Radha-of-vikaars storyline after five vikaars instead of the seven they seemed to indicate there would be when they started the storyline.)

I actually find these people's idiotic costume complaints extremely funny because they are making such fools of themselves publicly! 🤣 And I'll stop talking about them now because they don't deserve more air-time, but first I want to share something (I think is) funny: if the complaining people react with such outrage about Balram's supposed lack of different costumes within only 8 months of RK even though he actually has several different costumes, I imagine that they would have a collective heart attack if they watched Basant as Kartikeya in Vighnaharata Ganesh, because apart from when he is in disguise, Kartikeya literally has only one usual costume and it's been that way for nearly 2 years! 💔🤣🤣🤣 (This is actually the case for most of the VG characters, but no one complains about it because it doesn't matter! If the RK costume complainers happened to watch VG for a little while then they might just "die" out of shock! 😆) Ok, that's enough about these silly people now that I've had my laugh! 😉

completely agree with everything u said arti 👍🏼

@underline - exactly 😕not just onscreen issues.... overall fandom is almost begging for a krishna balram offscreen segment for several months.... kya kya nahi kiya.... approached media houses, told the actors and requested sidd tiwary himself, but everything in vain... i just don't understand why it is so impossible

hey, though kartikeya is in one type of outfit, i noticed one thing.... his initial costume had an antique gold finish and his present body gear is bright yellow gold... i prefer the former, its suits his complexion better

btw, is there any opportunity for basant to be back to vg anytime soon? because yesterday saw parvati's story that she is back to shoot after long and basant also posted about working but he was nowhere to be seen in RK sets

I need to watch him as Kartikey I started it then just lost interest in VG at that time I don’t think Basant was in the show.

To be honest there are many people in the industry that deserve more credit but makers don’t ever want to focus on them it sucks. I hope it goes well for Basant and he does get a lead role in his future endeavors

I did watch the crime patrol episode before (instead of doing homework I procrastinate a lot😁) I can say I was very impressed It was something new and I did like it took me some time to process but in the end I did like his acting.

i am sure it was worth it 😛he was very convincing as that character. from then i got this secret desire to see him in complex/grey role, he can pull that off like a pro imo 😎
