Since the time Prats (as Anandi) understood that she is in love with Shiv, did she ever look 'confused' or crying? Her eyes were bright and shining, full of love! Earlier, because her character demanded that, so she cried/ looked confused/was attached to her past - because of story, not because she wanted to cry.
If Toral had been introduced at that time, she would also have been crying like that only. And if Prats was still here, she would have been all happy and glowing on the screen, like she was for the past 2 weeks. Only thing is, out of her 2.5 yr stint, the writers demanded that most of the time she cry, so she did. Her smiling days were short in the end, but she was already there on the edge of happiness. Obviously if actress is changed at that time, she will continue from there. But its not lilke Toral decided to be smiling and Prats decided to be crying.
People here are appreciating Toral for something whose credit goes to the directors. Appreciating her acting is different & saying she is portraying a NEW Anandi is different. She is only portraying what Prats left of the character at that time. 😆
If people are asking Pratyusha fans to be mature, etc even though its not their business, surely they should be mature enough to understand this.
