A/C to Mansi's insta story, she's in Chandigarh. Has Lee returned? I don't think Rikara was shelved for Ruvya (like the other anon pointed out yesterday). I think both couples were kinda pushed to the bg, for Zain and that other girl. What I don't get is, there is so much of Shivika still left to complete, before jumping into this murder mystery trash. What are the cvs thinking? Is SP going to release/test idea for some new show (ft. Zain probs) through his cameo?

There seems to be no sign of Lee on the sets (even Shrenu was on-set yesterday, as seen in the videos for Naman’s birthday.) Waise achcha hi hai. I realllllllly don’t wanna see any Ruvya, just because Bhavya’s character is needed in the plot right now. Best she be left alone and fully in the cop zone, rather than diluted and dumbed down for ghusaaya hua romance.

No idea if Star is looking to launch Zain in anything (The Serial Activists mentioned something about how his next thing will be on Colors?), but it definitely is a possibility. In any case, it’s in his best interest to keep a working relationship with the channel in case any opportunities do pop up in the future.

Have you seen the insta chat video, thats doing the rounds, of the IB cast, all 7, celebrating Woman's day? Its so cute. Nakuul and Surbhi with their double meaning jokes, Kunal making Shrenu jump for the cake, and Lee, Neha and Mansi doing their own thing. Its esp. nice to see Neha and Mansi get along, despite how Harneet & Co. just fucked the story/script. I don't get it, the cast bonds so well, while their fans are fighting all day. Is IB fandom mainly in their teens or what?

I have. My thoughts were:1. There we go again with thinking we’re doing something important for women and their rights by cutting an effin’ cake on “their day”. Rehne do.2. I wanna spend a day on set, I think it’s a blast with these idiots and how much they get along. 😍3. Neha is getting more gorgeous by the day. Apna secret batao, girl!If you wanna hear my honest opinion, I do think 85% of the IB fandom can’t be older than 16 or 17 because the level of stupidity, bigotry and disrespect they display cannot come from grown-up and level-headed people. It just can’t. That’s why I try to downplay the fandom as unimportant and hormone-based fuckery most of the times, but sometimes it just gets too much even for me too ignore. The other day there was a big thing about people commenting under Kunal’s IG post of Surbhi to please not take picture of the two lead actors because they’re shown on screen often enough, and please focus on the other actors that don’t get as much screen time. The audacity… matlab hadh hai, yaar. Itna badtameez kaise ho sakte hain woh log?Actors = people whose work you enjoy to watch ≠ bandaron jinka kam sirf audience ki ungli pe naachna hai. But they don’t get that…

Who do you think is the most mature in the IB cast? Considering there have been a lot of dumb statements given by some on IV's and all. 🌚

I guess Shrenu? I don’t know much about her (beyond what she puts out on insta), but she’s been in the game for a long time now and I think she knows how to manage the whole thing well. AFAIK, she hasn’t said any dumbass shit in the last one year I’ve been following her.

Among the boys, Lee, but just because he blessedly keeps mum and just posts his muscles and rando emo/motivational quotes, instead of shooting his mouth off ON THE RECORD like the other two. At this point, wohi badi ganeemat hai. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Idk whether its cinematography or what, but Nakuul looks really tired? Like is it supposed to be in character for him because Shivaay is so depressed this season, or what? All those close ups of Shivaay are really not flattering 'cos he looks exhausted af. What do you think TT? Is it the character of Shivaay this season or Nox himself?

No, he does! I went back to skim through the older eps for that Top 10 IB eps ask, and I was struck by how haggard he looks now compared to how he was then. It’s the eye area (bags for daaaaaaays) and pallor. Either they’re not doing a good enough job in makeup to cover it up, or he’s just THAT tired. Guess the grind is really really getting to him.

In the words of John Mulaney, “GET SOME REST TALL CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Rank the 6 ( 7?) leads of Ishqbaaz in terms of their screen presence. Not chemistry or anything else, but just screen presence. Try to be objective. :-)

“Screen or stage presence is an actor’s innate ability to be present fully in each new moment. These actors are fully present sitting inside what the character is experiencing.  They are living truthfully under the given imaginary circumstances of the play or screenplay.”

Either way....
