I think it was more to give a comic and bold angle to Tara's entry. I'll chose to ignore this one. š³And I'm not relating to Nandini- Aditya track at all. Here we thought Nandini is the one lying to Aditya but wham! It's Aditya whose hiding a bigger secret! š² He's already married! And he's the younger brother. š His wife, Devraani is supposed to be younger brother-in-law's wife. Nandini, here, I always thought ain't that much in love, maybe rejection hurts her but I never thought of her as a person so weak to be affected that vastly by rejection. She was using her mother's favoritism for Tara as an excuse to escape from Aditya's rejection. I was watching Nandini scenes like W*F!I am in awe of how Vishwajeet plays Kalavati. I mean it takes a daring to wear a woman's clothes so loud and OTT. His dialogues delivery is supreme and I love how eery his voice and persona seems. Way to go, Kalavati!Nevertheless, I didn't like the episode, except the Kalavati part. Tara and Nandini's parts were going over the head. There was really no need for the hide and seek game in the house. š„± I wouldn't rate this more than 2.5 out of 5.
Thanks for passing and nice to have a healthy discussion over the episodes. I do agree the first two to three episodes I found Tara to be OTT and crass. And the girl has improved big time in dialogue delivery and body language. She is not a seasoned actor, but the best part is a daily soap allows an actor to learn and grow. Being a drama genre, PHs do choose to over dramatise certain situations/and or characters. If the heroine isnt crass you would find an OTT MIL or a ghastly dressed MIL or some other comic relief. Now here in order to balance the very grim and stark situation, Tara's character tends to give us some light-hearted moments. OK I just love her "Life" lessons and one-liners. But this does not mean she would become everyone's favourite.
The grahapravesh, is not known to any bride until you are the one actually kicking the urn. It was done for a purpose as mentioned.
Now there was a blooper yesterday, and I stand corrected. The lady in Blue is Meethi and is married to Aditya who is the younger brother of MJ. But yesterday when Thakurji asked where is Tara, she looked around and said, "Kahan hai meri Devranji" (which technically means calling the younger sis-in-law" If older its Jethani. Hence the confusionwa!š
I did not find Nandini's situation OTT at all cause even in realistic situations people do indulge in self-destruction over failure in exams, losing out on a job or loved one. Classic case Jiah's death! Her character comes very close to another one played in the movie Naina, essayed by Amrita Singh.
About talking to one self in third person, I discussed this with a younger friend, and she said she does it all the time...I have kids as old as Tara and I too voice my thoughts aloud when alone! Now maybe I should call that as going through a mid-life crisis! Pata nahi yaar!š
