Yes Unpopular opinion regarding Sumbul, the actress. Not having seen her show, not even a single episode or any other body of work, if I go ONLY by what I have seen in BB, she comes across as a very poor actress indeed, be it emoting sulking, or being upset, or trying to be dramatic and ranting jabardasti when sajid was around in front of Stan, Shiv, etc. And even when she supposedly was trying to protect shaleen from MC when she was seemingly smitten by the guy.
I find her so so over the top!!!!
Well may be armed with a script, storyline and a good director calling the shots, she may be a good actress. No idea since I have no first-hand experience.
Also where dancng is concerned once again, I hear that she is a great dancer but what I have seen makes me believe that Sajid was indeed right. She makes weird faces and is not a graceful dancer.
Was just catching yesterday's episode that I slept through and saw the garden scene where she is sitting with shaleen when nimrit comes along + before that when she is in bed and had this strong urge to put my opinion down in writing.
I know well, a very random post. Hahaha
LOL no, Sumbul is definitely a good actress and yes, a good script/direction helps. She did good work in Imlie when she had a solid script to back her.
But it became clear over time that while she's a good actress, her range is still limited and her childishness does start coming through in her dialogue delivery from time to time.....she needs to really be monitored for her performance to come out properly.
My problem is that I'm now so repelled by her as a person, I don't even know if I can ever watch her acting work ever again😆......all her overacting, her badtameezi and childish gundi behavior is too much of a turnoff.
As a dancer, I initially thought she was quite good but RWSP proved that she is limited there also and will keep doing the same few moves repeatedly over which her fans will keep hyping her😆.....her dances in BB have been even weirder and strangely aggressive😆
