Is physical beauty so shallow:Discuss here - Page 8

There has to be something about the person that catches the eye of the onlooker, makes the audience stop fiddling with the remote and stop to notice this person, after passing this phase the audience looks for talent...love what u wrote here...yes one needs to have aura in u..a personality which is combination of looks and personality...look at aruna irani for instance...i never cared fro her 70s films..but in her old age her talent and her personality and that aura arrests the audience..capture their interst ...

Otherwise for the audience its Hatta sawan ki ghata, and they move onto the next channel, so I don't think liking someone by their physical presence makes one shallow...sometimes someone's looks just get you hooked, penetrate your heart... and its a common syndrome for females, but I am huge advocate of the inner beauty as well, don't get me wrong...its just my opinion.perfectly respect ur opnion and i agree with u initial spark to attract the viewers is must..

P.S: I actually like the way Uday dresses up. It suits his personality. Whereas I completely dislike Akash's shirts. To me, they come out as totally ordinary and boring which I understand that his character is, so can't blame him. Plus, the CVs do not show whether Akash has different layers to him too or not. They just show him as Manyata's picture perfect kind of a guy whose always portrayed as 'good', 'mahan' etc. Isn't there more to a person than just this?...Surely a good guy has his bad moments too na?, why can't they be portrayed?..One can't be pristine forever.
yes his clothes suit his persoanlity...reason i pointed this dressing thing out was bec of frustration from comments like oh young girls love him for his cool ..bla bla bla... it was irritating me as hell bec i certainly have passed that phase of my life and so has my mother..both of us love uday for his characterization and artist's ability to generate the myseterious charm
Lack of variation in Akash's character sketches pushes me towards Uday too cause there is more to explore in Uday than in Akash.yes Akash is totaly diffrent story..a good actor like Abhishek suffers bec of this shallow majnu...so i wont really go in detail of my dislike for Akash...but I agree Akash's boring and single layered personality bores most audience and they include village audience as well.

thanks so much for sharing ur thoughts ..it means a lot ...my thoughts in brown..

i kinda agree with you. BUT
i watch tv for entertainment, so if it doesn't catch my eye, automatically i hit the next channel. > it called business girl. 😉

Ashish is a great looking guy and has got a beautiful smile that when he smiles, you can't help but smile...and that is all fine. But me? I love Uday because of the grey-shades in his character...the layers that I think are there but yet to be seen...and that makes me more curious as to why he is the way he is. Basically, I love Uday out of curiosity😳

EXCELLENT POST! should i call you Sam?

''we eat with our eyes first'' an expression used in the food industry so much but i think it applies here as well. Its in our nature to first look with the eyes, than think about anything else.But to be honest, i'm not at all attracted uday's character because of his looks, they are just a bonus :P, whats amazing about his character is that he has many shades and you are left wondering what is up with this guy? there's the good and bad, but overall he has a WOW factor- Even though Ashish is good looking and pleasurable sight for the eyes, i doubt i would have stuck to this show,if it had not been for the CV's coming up with this bitter sweet character called - Udayveer, its him who makes me want to continue watching. Its his character whom intrigues me and how its played out that makes me want to know more about him, thereby keeping me hooked to this show.

Hi Sameera,

Lovely post. Sorry, I'm in complete lazy mode, so have not read anyone's comments, so if I sound redundant, pardon me.

The reason why UV works, why he sticks in our zehmn, is because of Ashish Kapoor. Undoubtedly, the man has looks (whooosh!😍), but if his character (and his acting abilities) did not have that unique charm - the ability to slip into different shades and make you stop and wonder if you're still thinking/watching the same person - I would not watch the show. A couple of people suggested this show to me, and honestly speaking, the first impression was not the "wow, I'm digging this!," but, it was "wow, that actor can act!"

The story has potential, but what makes it worth watching is the actors - which is often the case with other shows. Aruna ji is a pleasure, the actress playing J is doing a fabulous job, Shahbaz Khan is golden, and the actor playing Vijay Bhai is so blank, yet so damn hillarious! As for Priyal, I must agree - the voice... Hai rabba. But, she's doing a decent job. I'm confused about Abhisheik though. What exactly he saw in Akash's character, I still fail to understand. When an actor takes up a role, I would assume, they would look for something that would allow them to explore their own potential. Akash is just to... blah. Cheesy, redundant, and not exciting. After doing, "Agle Janam..." I thought he would pick something different, something with more depth. So far, Akash's character has presented to charisma.

Coming back to UV - I haven't been this magnetized to a character since Iqbal Khan's Shiv Kapoor days (KAA), and that was like five... six years ago. Ashish is intense. The way he emotes is simply mind-blowing. I can sense the anger pouring out of his eyes like lava in one minute, and in the next, it seems like they have been glazed with warm butter. His portrayal of UV pulls me towards the television to watch this show. Half the time, I skip over a bunch of scenes and fast forward to his, simply because his enactment is so convincing. When we watch anything - television, movies, etc., we do so because there is something alluring or a mystery element to it. The character of UV is just that. The fact that Ashish is gorgeous (did I say that already?), is just chance. On passing, I would like to also mention that UV is clearly imperfect, but that is the "real" aspect to him. He is jealous, possessive, greedy, adorable, etc. but all of these characteristics embody a picture of reality. As humans, we naturally possess these characterstics (or at least a great portion of us). AK brings it all to life.

Okies, so I've rambled enough, and my mind is floating. Bottom line, he is an actor that knows his job, and performs to the T.

... And yes, that shirt that he wore while sleeping in today's episode should conveniently be burned.
