Dear Kalapi,
I agree with you about the inadvisability, indeed the impropriety of actors airing their gripes against the production house thru FB, Twitter, and the like.
I was surprised to see, in one of the earlier posts in this thread, that Rithvik and also Asha have allegedly hinted at their dissatisfaction with their roles in PR. Most of the references were to Rithvik and the mention of Asha was only in connection with one joint interview.
Now while I do have a twitter account, I only follow foreign affairs, and I do not keep up with any of these actors, whether on Twitter or elsewhere. So I do not know if the inference sought to be drawn in that post was accurate or not, especially as regards Asha, who, as Archana's anointed successor in PR, should really have nothing to complain about! The same cannot be said of Rithvik, but in both cases, they would be ill-advised to go public with their gripes in such a back door fashion. It is bound to lead to trouble with BT and Ekta Kapoor.
Both of them are promising actors, and it would be a pity if their careers suffered because of such things. While you are right is saying that actors not satisfied with their roles have walked out in the past, it is also true that almost none of them has succeeded in other shows and with other production houses. The more common result, as in the case of Rajiv Khandelwal, who fell foul of BT, is an industry-wide de facto boycott, for no producer likes dissidents, alas!
I suspect that Asha at least would be dismayed by such reports, and at a loss as to how to scotch them.

Shymala, I agree with you totally. Any actor/actress should do different roles to portray their talents. I also feel if there is a section of the audience who fails to identify with the actor in certain characters, it should only motivate the actors to outdo himself the next time, for that is how perfection is achieved.
Now if an actor/actress isn't happy with a particular role or how a script is going, they always have the option of walking away from that story. Many have done just that in the past and many will do so in the future. Nothing wrong. But, it is wrong to expect the Cvs to oblige. No one does it, we all work and our company doesn't oblige us by changing our job if we don't like it. We can resign, that is our option.
Now, if a particular actress/actor is taking a social to convey his/her dissatisfaction that is wrong ' some companies will fire such employees. If they are so unhappy, they should just move out. Now, just tweeting these things only convey negative feeling towards the PH and to the general audience who watches threes shows. From now, I will always feel while watching PR that some actors aren't giving 100% for they are dissatisfied and is in a way disrespecting the audience who are watching the show. And if the tweets are to make a certain section just happy ' that isn't right either. Everyone should appreciate the importance of social media and the way it affects us all..to me, this is unexpected ' if this was USA, we could have media pounding the actors why he/she isn't happy with a particular role'
My POV of course'
