dazmondo and kingSd Hi and welcome to the forum
Where were you before? When the show was on air since April 06, Why didn't you start singing about Saumya and her acting skills.
Although I feel the question" Who is better among this two" needs no answer and anybody who has seen these two people in one frame in the serial carefully should know the answer. But sometimes we donot want to accept the reality, So I thought I must enlighten you on acting and the answer for this.
Kahan se shure karoon......., Right from August 15th, when Gaurav entered the show, it had a new colour, He portrayed an extreme negative character for the few days as per Indian TV industry standards but still people fell in love with him. Needless to say that he could express negativity of his character through his eyes, through his smile, through his body language so well that he needed only few lines to take the show forward. When his character changed from negative to positive slowly and completely changed to positive, from a villain to an emotional passionate loverboy, He did full justice to the role, and after a few episodes he made everybody forget thru his superb acting that he was a bad boy a month back. I would say that he was the best choice for this diverse role. I have seen many serials where producers and directors have to change the ACTOR completely when the character changes upto this extent because most of the actors in our TV indusrty are so immature and loud that they canot be at peace with the negative and positive image. I think not any actor can be as goodlooking, as loving and as fabulous as GAURAV was in his both characterisations.
I am not against Saumya but she is a newcomer and it is her first show. She has a long way to go as far as her acting improvisation is concerned. Every new comer does that. In this serial she had to express emotions of hatred, love , passion etc. But she had to cry a lot to justify that she is sad, because she was not so good with her dialogues and expressions. Similarly she could not express her love and passion in the intimate scenes at all. She improved over a period of time. But nowhere close to gaurav, Your question of comparison between these two might sound more appropriate after 3-4 years if she continues to work and improve.
I think I have said enough for anybody to understand the essence of your question.
