Regarding PreeKar, I thought it was cute when it was just like here & there but yesteday's episode kinda made me go like "Ok I get it these two are gonna be a thing, but like calm yoselves 😆"
Preeti's one of those characters I really, really disliked up until the episode where she & Suman have that first conversation by the window. After that I started seeming some redeeming qualities to her. And after the scene (two days ago I think?) with Pushkar about the Rickshaw/Mere Paise Bachenge thing, I think I gained better understanding of her.
I think the fine line that separates her from Chachi/Mami is that she wears her heart on her sleeve, like jo bhi dil main hain bol deti hai. She can be money-minded, manipulative even (harne waala jeetne waale ko coffee pilayega), but she's very open about all these facets of her. Like "main aisi hi hoon," which I appreciate. She's not like playing her cards with much thought, one of the very few "bindass" in the non-OTT sense characters I've ever seen on TV/Film (writing-wise).
Performance wise, the actress in my opinion is so-so. Like she has great writing to work off of, but the acting turns it into border-line cliche because of the zaroorat se zyada enthusiasm. I believe they call those types EnthuCutlets right? 😆
I like Preeti as a character, but the performance can be better.
Pushkar on the other hand I love completely, just every part of him. Ranjeet is really killing it, such convincing EFFORTLESS performances by him.
As for Pushkar-Preeti, I'm not against it, but I'm not totally for it either. It's cute sometimes, but not when it's shoved in my face.
