Such shows will drag for decades, GK needs to think if this is the legacy he wants to leave behind with the skills and talent he has.
Sorry to chime in.
May be I have a natural tendency to defend professionals, but here is my take and more than happy to be corrected.
Actors have a short shelf-life in lead roles. There are very roles written for a 40+ age bracket.
At the end of the day, every person has a household to run and bills to pay. Some can afford to take risks and some are lucky to get the opportunities after the wait.
As for legacy, very few actors are able to live to be remembered owing to:
a. The medium they work which determines their reach.
b. The short audience memory.
c. The constant churn of manpower.
How else would you explain the presence of seasoned actors like Apara Mehta, Rituraj Singh, Vaquar Shaik, Gaurav Khanna (he was Kavin Khanna in CID for a long time) and established personalities like Kunwar Amar after a gap in their Television appearance?
Well, it's difficult everywhere, in ALL professions.
