I do agree that Gayatri seems like a mixture of Geet and Maddy. However I think Geet was quite meek and subservient in the beginning...her bubbly-ness (not a word I know lol) came into being when she fled to Delhi and started working for Maan. Whereas Maddy was shown as a headstrong/bubbly girl in the beginning but then later turned into a doormat. I think this bubbly-ness is the only common factor between these three characters. Gayatri on the other hand doesn't seem meek nor a doormat (so far)...could be wrong though.

From what I've heard and read on the forum, Gayatri loves books. That is a very nice touch to her character. Usually you don't see a lot of typical Indian bahus focused on education. The only one I can think of from recent times is that Diya Bati chick.

Btw I do agree that sometimes DD has a tendency to be OTT during her bubbly scenes (and this is coming from a DD fan). She excels in emotional and romantic scenes though. Bubbly scenes are not her forte but I'm looking forward to seeing her grow as an actor :))

And coming to Sid...I have to admit that I've never followed his work (mostly because our desi vampire show wasn't my cup of tea)...but I'm loving whatever I've seen of him in the promos. There is no one better that would have suited the character of Rana as much as Sid does. He just emanates this royal aura, personality, charisma (whatever you want to call it) perfectly!

So excited to see how Rana and Gayu (I think that's my new nickname for her...gayatri is way too long to type out lol) love story progresses :) As long as they don't turn Gayu into another doormat, I'm on board but as soon as Gayu turns into a pathetic doormat, I'll say hello hi bye bye to this show 😆😆

I loved Rajmata and even Sid seemed to be good. Don't have too many criticisms as such as I haven't seen them on screen too much before!

And over all, Ya I'd agree, the show was carried by the actors, but the DOP, sets, and somewhat "unique" introduction were all a major part in making the episode enjoyable.

Regarding DD:

You never know what they will do with Gayatri's character and all DDians are hoping she doesn't turn meek in the coming episodes; well we can hope. Gayatri does seem to be a mix of Geet / Maddy.

I liked her but I want some deeper layers in the characters and want her to be fierce.

Maddy anyways always has been highly underrated...well on india forums that is 😆

It was DD's most nuanced performance. A lot of the credit I'd say goes to ST who really extracted the best of DD (and VD for that matter) in MEIEJ, of course until both characters were butchered, which is typical for all Indian serials.

I loved how headstrong / self righteous she was and ALSO how mature she was. It made her a bit different from the typical Indian heroine. As a fan, I do agree that in "bubbly" scenes, DD does have a slight tendancy to go OTT but in serious, romantic, and emotional scenes, there is no one like her AND THAT IS WHAT ST CASHED IN ON - which is why MB as a character was so successful.

I dont know abt characters but i will rate the whole epi as 6 out of 10

The epi didn't reach upto my expatation, I think Rana's entry could hv been more dramatic n grand

That car blast scene was not at all drametic i mean the ppl around there didn't even gave shocking expression

Regarding Gayatri i liked her scene outside Library but with those kids she do went a bit OTT

I liked precap but i m sure we will start liking as it grows

Last show I watched, the male lead didn't look pyscho at first but later on he did the most heinous thing and walked away scott free. Like gambling with the female lead's life and forcing her into marrying him. I dont mind having grey male characters as long as their wasn't a double standard where grey male leads are glorified and accepted by the audience. And grey female leads frowned upon. I dont mean to generalize at all but that is the pattern I find typically among Indian shows and Indian online audience.
