Yes, as a newcomer, I think she is doing a fine job. I am not saying that she is not talented. All I am trying to say is that, the show mainly focuses on Arzoo and Sahir. Both the characters have been sketched out brilliantly. But they have to be portrayed equally well, so that even a boring scene, can turn out to be interesting. A character has to make the audience feel his or her emotions along with their acting. But I can only feel Sahir's emotions, and not Arzoo's. I really like, how her character is not OTT. Arzoo is a beautiful and a realistic character, which can be portrayed and expressed really well. But Shivya has this monotone in her acting, which sometimes can make a really good scene, seem boring. Whereas, Harshad Chopra is doing a brilliant job, and to meet that expectation, I feel that Shivya has a long way to go. Just like the other female leads, I am sure that, she will improve little by little. After all, Gul is one of the best producer/director that brings out an actor in a newcomer, in all her shows.
