Should Anjali Awasthi makers have treid to replace main face Shritama Mitra to save the show rather then changing the male lead ?

 Ideally, replacing the female lead, Anjali Awasthi (played by Shritama Mitra), could have been a bold move to save *Advocate Anjali Awasthi* from its ratings slump (1.4–1.5 TVR, down from over 2.0). The show’s core revolves around Anjali’s legal battles and emotional journey, making her the central character. Casting a new female lead—potentially a bigger star with wider appeal—might have attracted fresh viewers, reinvigorated the legal drama’s niche format, and countered the dominance of family soaps in the market. While Mitra’s performance has been praised, her character's significance means a recast could generate buzz and curiosity, especially if paired with a refreshed storyline. 


The impact of a storyline update could be significant, introducing new plot twists and character developments that might attract a different audience and improve the show's ratings. Instead, reports suggest a generational leap with Tushar Dhembla as a new male lead, coinciding with Ankit Raizada’s exit (whether voluntary or not). This shift risks alienating fans who are loyal to the chemistry between Raizada and Mitra without addressing the show’s core identity, which is tied to Anjali. Introducing a new male lead could dilute the focus, as the show’s title and premise are centered on its female protagonist. 


With only two months until the rumored end in August 2025, a change in the female lead earlier by Blues Productions—perhaps mid-2025 when ratings first started to dip—could have allowed more time to build traction. Now, any change feels like too little, too late, as the low ratings have already pushed the show to the brink, and Star Plus seems ready to replace it. However, there remains potential for a high-profile actress to achieve a last-minute save.




Shivangi Joshi looks a million dollars in "Bade Achhe Lagte 4!


 Shivangi Joshi's fashion in "Bade Achhe Lagte Hain" has been a highlight, with her ethnic looks receiving widespread praise for their elegance and timeless appeal. Known for her role as Naira in "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai," where she often wore stunning sarees, Shivangi has brought her love for traditional Indian outfits into her latest show. Her saree choices in "Bade Achhe Lagte Hain" seamlessly blend tradition with modernity, often making her look "a million dollars" with their intricate designs and graceful draping.


Recent clips from the show, which have been trending on social media, showcase her in vibrant sarees, including a shimmery black, a baby pink floral, and a mustard-red Banarasi, all paired with glamorous blouses and statement accessories, solidifying her status as a style icon. 


However, the corporate setting of "Bade Achhe Lagte Hain" has sparked discussions about her wardrobe. While her sarees exude sophistication, some fans on X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms have noted that they may appear “too heavy” for typical office attire, particularly due to their embellished fabrics (e.g., sequins, embroidery) and bold accessories. For a corporate-based show, lighter sarees (such as chiffon or georgette) or subtle kurtas might align better with workplace aesthetics. Fans recall her earlier corporate-inspired looks from 2019, where she sported sleek kurtis alongside actresses like Jennifer Winget.


Western outfits, such as tailored blazers or dresses, could also suit the show’s modern office vibe, offering more versatility. Although her current saree-heavy wardrobe is gorgeous and reflects her character’s regal persona, it may not entirely match the practical corporate setting. While fans love her ethnic charm and praise her styling (including a recent look featuring a saree and glasses), they suggest incorporating lighter, more minimalist sarees or fusion outfits for a more realistic office appearance. 


To strike a balance between tradition and practicality, she could incorporate subtle silk sarees with modern blouses or experiment with Indo-Western corporate wear, such as kurta-pant sets or tailored dresses.
