The impact of replacing “actors of daily soaps”…

All Daily soaps try to entertain viewers with different tracks and storylines. In order to create sensation amongst viewers, every show normally has new and unexpected twists in the story that leave the audiences' spell bound. Writers & directors, in their quest to show something 'different', many a times, entertain viewers with certain unreal moments! Like, after a particular character is shown 'dead', they suddenly come alive, but with a new face! Some meet with an accident, go into coma and loose their memory, unable to recognize their own family. These are certain twists that occur in almost all the serials. 

Sujal, the very famous character of 'Kahiin Toh Hoga'? The character was played by the then lead actor, Rajeev Khandelwal. Suddenly, viewers found Sujal dead in an accident. Later, he returned from out of the blue, but this time it was not Rajeev, but Gurpreet who played the role. Whats surprising is that, not only did the face change, but his voice, body structure, height and even the colour of his eyes changed! All this is some thing crap which are known to the audience but still they are use to such screaning but they are not left with any other oprions. Al last in the end of the the only option for entertainment is the idiot box.

All these are the only ways & means to carry a story forward? Maybe directors and writers cannot be entirely blamed, as when a serial runs for six to seven years, one really runs short of ideas. Plus, over the years, we've known and have reason to believe, that story may not always be the reason for such twists & turns in serials. There are many other factors involved.. like some 'behind-the-scenes' reasons for a certain twist in a show!


But whatever the reason, its high time writers, producers, directors begin to think of new plots for serials instead of the same old stories/tracks followed in all serials. Coz audience ka 'dil maange more'! Or are we asking for too much?! You decide!
