Anika's Shivaay - Page 10

Geet, yeah same, never seen QH so this is my first impression of Chandna too and she's been fantastic so far. Nakuul I've seen a bit of in his previous show and his web series... light-hearted comedy seems to be his forte so I was really surprised to see him playing a Gul hero. But yeah you seem to be right, looks like the writers are using his strengths... Shivaay is more a crotchety uncle than your usual brooding Gul hero with never-ending issues and it's a nice change. I'm still catching up with the earlier episodes where he seems to be in more of the Gul ML mould and this new and improved Shivaay is certainly wayyy more tolerable.
Re: their offscreen personalities, lol I saw some speculation here about the lack of joint interviews aur mujhe thoda deja vu hua, so I decided not to bother at all. 😆 Anyway, hope they continue in this vein for some time... I need to watch something for my desi tv fix and right now this one is the stress buster I need. 😆

There were possibilities with the way all three couples have been conceptualised, but Shivaay-Anika have been the only one so far to have had some sort of arc. Although I have my doubts about whether Gul can sustain it...this is her usual pattern she's following here although these two are probably her most well-matched couple so far in terms of the verbal volleyball. 😆
As for Shivaay's being intimidated, hmm I think it's a mix between discomfiture at his attraction and some genuine alarm at her aggressive ways...he has certainly done more than his fair share of standard Gul ML manhandling otherwise.

@Adhi: OmRu's behavior would definitely have been disrespectful on another show which took this plot seriously. As it is Shivaay himself (and the writers at large) seems to forget half the time that Tia even exists, so no point feeling sorry on her behalf. Doesn't help that the actress playing her has the most grating voice.

@Anu: I wasn't expecting intensity as such in the drunk scene, just that "cute" was a very lame response in the situation I felt and this show usually does better with comebacks. Again, this cribbing is mostly because of Chandna's fabulous voice modulation in that bit... it lifted the scene tremendously and Shivaay's response just fell flat in comparison.
Haven't seen her in QH but heard she did a good job playing a vulnerale mute girl there. Chalo good to know she has range. With you on laughing at the serious bits too, especially the "conflicts" in the oberoi family...lol everyone looks like they are having an apoplexy and ten minutes, a few tears and one OBros hug later, everything is back to being sunshine and roses. 😆 If Gul was intending to make a parody of all her shows, she certainly seems to have succeeded and I'm not even complaining, it's why I watch it in the first place. 😆
Re: Dadi's voice, lol yeah very grating Even Chandna's voice tends to become shrill whenever she raises it but she saves it with her expressions and the dialogue delivery. But NOTHING beats Tia's whiny voice... you could torture someone with it and they'd beg to die. 😳

@Sru: Hi. Good to see you here too.
This turning out to be another reunion thread. 😆
