Agreed. I hated the distortions in the Star Bharat too. But what I loved in them in addition to what Amrita has said was that it gave a good message. The Krishna Seekh and it was something that was required to make our lives easier. If we could use every single thing Krishna said in SB in our life, then it would be so much more easier. Star Plus made the best promotions ever for Mahabharata and the result is here. I personally loved Mahabharata because it showed everyone had flaws though it tried to whitewash certain characters. Too much of screaming here and PAAARIVARTAAAN MAAAHAABHAAAT just destroyed it for me.

Draupadi portrayal, I can't speak about it. I just wrote a full post about it and K-D scenes though are less compared to the book, I hated them. Check CNAT for write-ups on K-D inspired by SidT by me and Vrish Bhai.

Yagya you are right and I agree totally. Navika also is perfectly right in every word. But while declaring the reasons for StarBharat's success let us not forget Shaheer's contribution. He is the star of the show as SIDT admitted in his interviews when he began MB. Others are relatively unknown but gradually won hearts. Shaheer has immense following in India and abroad that fetched viewership and consolidated the Show's success. There are many fans like me who loved him since Navya days and got elated on seeing him as Arjun. His chemistry with Pooja,Saurabh and even Aham was crackling. The Jayathrath Episode was the one that fetched the highest TRPs for the show hands down. So he is instrumental in making the show reach out. That is why the promos mainly highlighted him,ARDI and so on. SIDT himself admitted it many times. So When we talk about the reasons for the success I would like to give him his due.

I know right! I have watched Navya after seeing him as Arjun because I loved his performance. Even my grandmom used to say that Shaheer is incredibly handsome and extremely talented and she didn't even know Hindi. That was his effect. And I remember the Draupadi's promo before MB began highlighted ArDi relationship as Arjun was highlighted there. He has an amazing screen presence though I am liking Navi for his aura but Shaheer is Shaheer. I dunno how but his scenes with everyone came out well. Only thing which i felt was a problem was a his diction sometimes. It was Shuddh Hindi and definitely it would be difficult for them against us who watch mythos and Sanskrit.

Lakshmi n Yagya...I would disagree.


His chemistry with other Pandavas was great...he certainly has great screen presence...but SRJ, Pooja n some others have equally great or even better screen presence. Just my opinion.

You are right. Those who see his diction may definitely count it as his minus point. But still that was dominated by his screen presence,good looks and I must say he excelled in action scenes. In the original,Ved Vyas mentioned Arjun's curly long hair at many places and praised it with superlatives even in war episodes. Shaheer's naturally beautiful long hair exactly looked that way. SIDT once commented' Girls became mad after Shaheer's hair." I like Navi. He is the the good looking guy in SIDPutr Karn and acts well. But to me Shaheer is the ultimate Arjun.

I personally was very very disappointed wen I got to know Shaheer is playing Arjun bcoz I didnt like him much before...which changed later as the show progressed. Yes his chemistry with other actors was great but I disagree that he alone brought fans to watch the show n was the only 'star' of the show.

I got attracted bcoz it is Mahabharat n many people got attracted for the same reason. Shaheer had no connection with it.

Maybe Siddharth Tewary used him for his promos...but that is due to the fact that he was the only actor who had played lead...n most importantly he was playing Arjun...

I didnt watch Navya regularly...but one thing I know and it is this...that if a show is superhit then it runs for a long time...Not sure but Navya's run was not very long.

So yeah...Shaheer has definitely contributed to the success of the show like other actors n his chemistry with Pooja made me love Ardi even more...but I wouldnt give him complete credit.

Coz more than him...it was SRJ who carried the show on his shoulders being Lord Krishna...no offence to any fan group.

Siddharth Tewary might think Shaheer attracted fans...but the kind of people I have met in various social networking sites...they all seemed to think otherwise. Even my friends n relatives who watched the show...gave credit to SRJ.

Having said all these...I do believe Shaheer was one of the best actors to play Arjun...No other actor has looked as good as he did as Arjun...But his voice always bothered me.

But nonetheless he did well...n gradually improved n made me a die-hard ShaJa fan.

His chemistry with other Pandavas was great...he certainly has great screen presence...but SRJ, Pooja n some others have equally great or even better screen presence. Just my opinion.

He definitely is not the star of MB, Amrita. But he did have a role to play. I know some Navya fans who watched MB just for Shaheer and that attention was continued because the cinematography and everything was amazing. I was attracted undoubtedly due to Mahabharat and the amazing visuals. i skipped Kahani Hamarai Mahabharat Ki because it didn't appeal me but the way the chose to give a promo for Shakuni and said how Mahabharat was not just one character's story but it was the story of every character, every single mentality and every single feeling. SRJ is the ultimate Krishna and as I said it was his seekh which made the show a success and something unforgettable. He was too good an actor but that doesn't reduce Shaheer's credit. Shaheer gave his best and did his role effectively. Shaheer's voice and diction was a problem for me too. i think his voice suits more for soft and romantic roles rather than a role as strong as that of Maha nayak Arjun.

That's my opinion. No offense to anyone.

Amrita,to garner attention for a show First it should have a known face. SiD T meant that when he said Shaheer is his Star face of the show. That has nothing to demean Saurabh's contribution to the show. He is the best Krishna ever apart from Nitish Bharadwaj.And Navya was abruptly ended because SIDT has to shift focus to Star Bharat and Shaheer has to attend training camp for MB since an year before the actual shoot happened. He became immensely popular by then not only in India but abroad also as so many polls conducted back then claimed him one of the popular faces of Indian TV.So he is the one on whom SIDT banked upon to attract the initial viewers. I agree die hard MB fans will watch it any way. But Shaheer succeeded in attracting younger lot to TV screens. So when you mentioned Saurabh,Pooja and Aham I want to remind Shaheer's contribution. It is a known fact that The Jayathrath Episode catapulted the show to No.2 position after Diya Aur Bati Hum.What SIDT wanted from,Shaheer ,he hundred percent delivered.My mother and her friends used to be glued to the Television when Shaheer appeared on screen. My sister and her whole college friends are die hard Shaheer fans who watched MB for his sake. And I know many school kids who identified Shaheer with real Arjun and bought bows and arrows inspired by him.He is a star with charismatic screen presence whereas others are actors first and gained stardom later. To me his hard work on his diction was clearly visible as he improved his dialogue delivery quite impressively.His dialogue when Jayathrath abducts Draupadi ' Koi Panchali Ko Sparsh Kare Aur Arjun Na Aaye.." It was so perfect and I definitely had no problem with his diction.

Loved the discussion here. Not many of you might know, but Shaheer debuted in a Disney Channel show "Kya Mastt hai Life".It was the story of 5 friends Vir, Rags, Ritu, Zenia and Zeeshan. Shaheer played Vir, the handome hunk in the Jr College. I had just completed my graduation then, but I really loved that show and had been liking Shaheer since then.

@Madhu, I too wish to see Karna as he was. He was a flawed person, but he was a person. He was a human being who had his own share of struggles, losses and victories. I wanted to see his life, his relation with his parents, his spouse and children and his siblings. What I do not wish to see is this made up story of Karna which has no relation either to the man or to the epic. I feel that the ffs we see in this forum are more true to epic Karna than what is shown in this show.

However I did not like him playing Arjun, might be because I still had the Arjun from BRC in my mind.

Saying this I agree to most of you that starcast do affect the TRPs. For instance I watched Ekta'a KHMK just for Hiten Tejwani 😳😳.

To be frank during those days I hated Ekta for destroying Mahabharat but now I feel that she only experimented with the looks, the characterization and story lines was similar to the epic. But now I feel that SidT has created a new Mahabharat as well. Both ⭐️Bharat and SPK has nothing to do with the epic.

BTW SPK has got an extension for three months. Also the IF ranking is increasing It has reached 37 from 51 in two weeks.

Shiprita VastraHaran Episodes always garner TRPs It happened before. It happened now. The Cvs themselves admitted that Karna Vrishali track failed to enthrall the audience. So they took resort to the good old tried and tested track.Hence the raise in TRPs doesn't mean the serial got appreciation.

Well everyone has favorites and I personally dont think StarBharat was successful due to any one of the actors. I credit whole team of Mahabharat and it includes everyone except SidT😆 chalo usko bhi de diya thoda sa😛.. but it was much better than this circus coz there we actually had scenes to discuss even though with its flaws.. here we cnt even discuss scenes..coz they are not even worth it.... there were many sequences in StarBharat that deserves appreciation for actors involved..👏⭐️
