Part of this I feel...is his attention to detail! I'm sure whenever he is presented the role he has his own questions to ask at the very beginning about the background and the mannerisms of the character, which he always keeps at the back of his mind when he's playing the character. Take Onu for instance...HC knew that Devarsh would be playing his younger version, and when HC finally enters as Onu, he lets you see the difference between the chota Onu and the bada one, while STILL ensuring that at key points he reminds us of Devarsh! For somethin like that you require more than talent...you require an inclination to analyse a character and thereby interpret his body language. Another case in point is Mohan's return to the Galla house. By this time in the story we've been given hints about Mohan's life in London and prior to that, how Baapji treated him, how he's changed. We're aware of how tempting a prospect freedom was for him and why he grabs it with both hands. And the smug look he gives to Baapji communicates THAT as well! It's not just a 'spoilt brat' playing smarty-pants with his grandfather...it's a boy who has become a man, setting a silent challenge for the man who had stifled him from the time he was in his nappies, and that one look says it!

In some cases HC doesn't really have the script's support sometimes: KDM for instance made Prem the typical hero scriptwise - the Ram of the family, very much fashioned on Mihir Virani - and for a good reason: he was going to die in a few months after all, and then the REAL jodi would step forward 😆 On top of which, Prem was too perfect for many actors to even think of nuances...but can any of us imagine Prem now without the choti choti aadatein that HC channeled into him? It's tiny but hard to miss, the way he holds Heer's hand, the way he gives her a look, a slight inflection in the way he says Heer's name.

Same with his romance with Taani...and here I daresay he has a tougher job. Here APK and he had to recreate what PraDev had left behind...while redefining it and making it fit into an adult context. You saw flashes of the younger kids in BOTH of them, but besides that you also saw desire...you also saw an understanding of the love they shared which the kids lacked...you also saw their deep desparate denial of that love in the fear of being rejected again. Plus, you needed to love Onu even as he rejected Taani, and HC made sure we did that.

^ You know Sam...sometimes this is what angers me to a certain extent about people constantly talking about the similarities between these three roles specifically and looking at the shallow outlines of these characters...in all this many hardly ever focus on their DIFFERENCES, they don't even bother to scratch the surface and see the core of the character!

All I can say to such people is ... I pity them... bcoz unfortunately God has not given them the power to see the differences. They just dont have the ability to see Prem ...Anurag ...and Mohan ...

forget abt the core lizzz

they find similarities with the way he presents himself!

whereas the truth is that even look wise...all 3 characters of hc have been totally different! forget abt the on screen resemblance...

infact if u look at his offscreen pics too...u can make out which pic belongs to which era!

Especially if you look at the hand and the rings... there is vast difference between Prem/anurag and Mohan🤣🤣🤣

Two times I actually HATED BT ... well there are many other times as well... but these are really strong ones... first time making Dajjeet hit those girls around like that.. I wanted to slap the guy who wrote that script for 10th June 2008... Prem confesses he loves Heer but doesnt stand there to see what consequences the girl runs into... walks away... so I am glad on 18th June when Daljeet comes hitting Heer like that.. there was atleast one decent man in the crowd to stand up to the girl and speak up. The others we just standing around like idiots😡... The fact that Prem created history on that day is a different chapter...

The second time was when Onu was getting hit at the police station and Taani was screaming helplessly outside the jail!😡😡

I agree both scenes HC did some marvellous acting... first time holding Heer like that and I felt that it didnt matter to him that it was his heer who was being hit around. Prem would have done it for any girl. Second time.. after Taani is dragged out .. the way HC just closed his eyes telling the world that Onu is ok getting beaten as long as Taani doesnt have to see it 👏👏👏 Superb!

But they should not show such behaviour on national TV!

@ Vandy's previous post, exactly...Ali has this clean-shaven boot-camp look...Prem is rugged businessman and hopeless romantic all roled into one, so he wore shirts with a single button open when he was on his own, with light colours, later during the Chaahat phase it's turtlenecks, which show how choked he is by what he thinks he's done...Onu starts out the bitter NRI return who can never hide how much he's missed home, and very much a man who doesn't like what he's become, and his high collars and stuffy coats gives you an impression of a man who is choking under this new identity, he wears a jacket only when he's with friends, which is a link to his old self (Motu used to wear jackets too!) before it changes to casual jeans, tees and shirts when he loosens up after the ashirwaad...and Mohan's clothes are such an aspect of his character that he seems incomplete without them: his tees always have amazing one-liners 🤣

sam...june 10th

prem was distraught...he had no idea that his love would come out in the open.,..that too in this way! and mind u...he was pretty unaware the way daljeet was treating heer and meher...coz she acted goody goody infront of him!

and yes...agreed that prem was the only man in that crowd...not a single person...had the guts to stop her!

but if was fated that prem would be creating history that day! so he did😆

u know sam...onu knew that even though the blows were being inflicted upon him...its tani who would be feeling the pain!...by closing his eyes he tried to console himself that its oki...now tani will not see him being beaten up...she won't feel his pain!

but deep inside he knew that she would feel it...no matter wat!

hc was superb in this scene sam...he was fantabulous!⭐️

wat kind of behaviour sam...the pain in hc's eyes ???😆😆😆

This reminded me of the SR scene!! Remember how awkward TaAnu were? And the way Onu gulped that milk and kept looking at Taani and was wondering what in the world to do? Sometime last week I was watching it and Mum came along (there was no sound tho 😭). I showed her the scene without the sound and without hearing the dialogues even she understood what was going and she was ROFLing 🤣. And mind you she hates Hindi serials! 🤣🤣

Oh ok that scene... yep... but I think Lizzy has put it down better ! Her post talks for everyone 👏

See I reminded you of a good scene.. 😆

I knew it... I wanted to know this... but wasnt sure where to ask and whom to ask... I knew they were the only couple to continue with "tu"!

BTW I so wish Mohan stops Kastur from "Mohan Jee" after they fall in love! I dont like the Jee.. it gets annoying!
