and the sruthi track came right after his marriag. Neil is evaluated with prejudice! And it got mixed with prejudice against virat on sruthi’s track from KD.
Added to this prejudice is his personal engagements. He was at a very happy place personally, too busy with wedding and comes back to act in a track that doesn’t go with the emotions where he left Virat with.
It must be really hard for him as an actor! And having to sustain the same dialogues/emotions day after day is not easy. He definitely fumbled in sruthi track! And also judged too harshly on some good work too, which are not in his control as an actor… audience prejudice to him and Rono’s character in KD!!
However he did give some good episodes! For me his breakdown in hospital and hostel visit to sai stand tall in otherwise subdued performance in this track.
Neil definitely is a good actor! His body of work is a proof. He made virat Chavan alive no doubt. Now he is back again with his earlier mettle. I m sure he will shine through again!
PS: The recent scene where he was absolutely terrific for me is in lahu muh sequence. Ayesha no doubt shined more in that sequence. But the expression change in Virat when she rubbed the color on her neck shows how he gives very appropriate and believable vibes., there was intoxication seen in the face and desire in the eyes!
