The unpredictable DPS and his sudden mood swings never failed to impress the female population. As long as Apurva and Surveen were part of Kaajjal the show was a hit, infact Rati Agnihotri got nominated and Apu too(if im not mistaken). Just getting an award doesnt make you famous being in the nominations proves the fact that audience is loving him and wants to see more of him. However, i wish i could say the same for his role in RKB. the chemistry is no where there, this Apurva looks tired and exhausted, or maybe its the sainthood that he is following just doesnt suit him. I will go with the arrogant/unpredictable/jealous Apurva anyday.
He is doing as per his calibre, and I think he is doing a good job. He is of an introvert nature so if he tried in reality shows which he did twice, he just cant connect much with the audience, but Mona is just the opposite. Anyways It won't be right to say that the projects that Apu has chosen so far were not good, they were famous reputed people who had taken Apu as the lead. If he is facing downfall then its only because the mass connects to the saas-bahu sagas more, which is smth apu still hasnt tried(thank god)
Ananya, I completely agree with every word you said here !! 👏 Apu was sensational as Dev Pratap Singh of Kajjal. Infact though I was a big JJKN fan to the extent of being an updater, somehow I lost interest post-make over. I preferred the chemistry between Armaan & Jassi pre-makeover days. However, in Kajjal, his chemistry with Surveen was too good till the end inspite of the ups and downs of the serial.
Earlier, deserving ppl used to win awards. Nowadays whether you are talented or not doesn't really matter, in the era of same boring saas-bahu sagas, kitchen politics, vamp bitchiness, re-emerging after being dead, all one has to do is look cute and flashy. This makes them popular and then sure winner of awards ! Inspite of all this Apu still managed to get nominated for Kajjal !!
I am glad Apu did not get swayed into doing such kind of roles and did serials which were a bit different and less oppulent. In both serials (JJKN & Kajjal) inspite of female title roles, he still made his characters Armaan Suri and Dev Pratap Singh household names. In RKB too, inspite of the serial being on Radha and her betiyaans, a lot many have got hooked on to the serial because of his presence ! I agree his initial phase in RKB was definitely boring and he looked exhausted and completely subdued, however, the current track which is emerging seems to be tapping his trademark style of anger and don't mess with me type of attitude. 😃 I really hope so it does !! 😕
