Cast section nightmare edit

The cast section is a nightmare. Why are we wasting so much space on every nickname that a character has? I mean seriously, "Sweetie Pie" and "Teddy Bear"? (As of this revision.) It's ridiculous. Whomever built this section out has no idea what a quality cast list is supposed to look like. See List of Millennium characters or even List of SpongeBob SquarePants characters as an example. Further, this over-reliance on slashes / / / makes things even more confusing.

Amit Tandon as Jin Jimmy/Rahul Chaturvedi.

What does that mean? Are those two characters, Jin Jimmy and Rahul Chaturvedi? Where is the context that explains why the person has two names?

Karishma Tanna as Sonia/Sonu/Lambi Mirch

Does that mean Tanna is playing three characters, or is this one character with two additional nicknames? How does a reader know that she's not playing triplets, Sonia Mirch, Sonu Mirch and Lambi Mirch? This is exceptionally problematic in Indian TV articles, because many Indian shows have actors play multiple characters: reincarnated characters, impostor characters, characters who look like someone after plastic surgery, twins raised by different families. The cast section is currently a nightmare and needs to be improved. I don't know anything about the show, so I can only offer general guidance. I would say that rather than trying to present information as compactly as possible with slashes and parentheticals, we may need to use complete sentences. Crazy idea, I know. Also, I think most of those nicknames should be deleted. We typically only use the name or names that a character is commonly referred to as. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:18, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
