I have nothing against emotional outburst but somehow with Priya;s character that needed to be more subtle and silence or saying things quietly does not mean you are taking things lying down...she could have questioned her brother in a calm and icy tone, when you have failed why are you blaming someone else ditto for her father...and Oh I love the balcony :) it would have been a perfect scene for Ram and Priya tit-tat maybe her mother overhearing some of it and feeling guilty how they have pushed Priya ...
True - there seems to be a contradiction and inconsistency in the envisioning/writing of this character. I totally agree that I too see her as a more quietly dignified person, who doesn't need to vocalize her dissent in such a public way...esp given the early episodes. Then the first fight happened.
i bring up her behavior outside her flat again as something quite inconsistent with what we'd been shown till then...at least inconsistent in terms of what I was expecting from her character. I didn't enjoy that scene at all, it was loud and not all that funny. She was almost like Shipra then! Ouch!
But I guess with these soaps, excess is the chosen way to go...not too much is left to our imagination. everything is larger than life and triple underlined...maybe it's the medium - and a poverty of imagination when it comes to script writing or filming - obnoxiously melodramatic seems to be the aesthetics of Indian television and there doesn't seem to be any chance of that changing in the near future at least...
yet, there seems to be some weird magic when Ram and Priya talk to each other...
