On Point. Neil and Ayesha both are not convincing these days. I have not been liking Ayesha as well. But Neil is going downwards like anything... the whole thing about Neil being so limited with expressions and mostly wrong when it comes to expressing anger to two different relations is life is so true. His anger even after the anniversary track came out as disgust and that's where I started pointing out his lack of understanding his own character and him coming out all wrong with directors doing nothing about it. Lack of good directors has made this show pathetic and also ruining the actor's crafts. Neil however has really gone downwards... He might just establish himself as a bad actor among the masses along with Virat being the worst ML as the show ends.
Ayesha, as a newbie can be given a chance, plus she is inconsistent in emotional scenes with her dialogue delivery mostly while crying but I guess that can suit a 19 year old girl. In other scenes, like the happy, nok jhok and giving back/ confrontation scenes, she is top notched. I feel she is the saving grace of the show with her character Sai.
For Neil, his disgusted expressions are undigestible. The way I enjoy those expressions for Pakhi, I hate those for Sai. The way he seems caring for Shruti, same way he does for Sai... Walking holding hands etc. I couldn't find the sense of detachment...the nuance was missing. If someone who doesn't watch the show, watches his scenes with the three females standalone, it would be difficult to understand who is the wife. And that is not good.
I don't know if it is allowed, but 7pm colors male lead has the worst characterization but the actor's screen presence and acting actually saves the character so much that one has to remind oneself that he has messed up really bad in past. That's what is needed to salvage a pathetic character, Neil isn't able to deliver that.
Plus, he doesn't look natural onscreen, in intense or crying scenes especially, acting seems acting only, and it's getting worst day by day. Hated the disgusted expressions when he bumped into sai... Arre, she is your wife, you can be irritated but not hate her for unknowingly bumping into you.
