Hi, i am new to this forum. I wouldn't call myself a die hard phanki, but nevertheless i very much love Barun Sobti ☺️ and the portrayal of all his characters till date. But of course needless to say he played Arnav Singh Raizada to perfection. It was as if he was born to play Arnav. I thought that maybe it was the character of Arnav that was so beautifully written, and gave all credit to the writers more than to Barun. But i guess i have been proven wrong and i am glad to be proven wrong.
A writer can put his idea of a particular character on paper i guess. But it is the actor who actually breathes life into the character.
And Barun is one such brilliant actor who is able to get into the skin of his characters. He made us believe that he WAS Arnav Singh Raizada and now he is making us believe that he definitely is Advay Singh Raizada. 👏
Chaverah you have rightly pointed out the differences between the two. Arnav and Advay are definitely two different characters and who so ever feels they are alike really needs to sit down and watch Barun's portrayal of the two carefully 😳.
Excellent post and i must say you are brilliant with your character analysis👍🏼. So brilliant that you have pursued me to reply to your post 😉 which also happens to be my first post on this forum. 😊
I do have couple of points to add to your already elaborate analysis.
1) Arnav could sometimes get carried away by his emotions and do things that he never planned on doing. The almost Kiss on Diwali night 😳 is probably a good example along with the dance to Teri meri.
Advay on the other hand is in total control of his emotions. He is always aware of his actions and doesn't get swayed easily. It is as though everything he does or says is a part of the dangerous game he is playing with Chandini. ( the only downside to this i think is we as viewers still don't know for sure what his true feelings for Chandini are. Well i don't think he does either 😆 )
2) Arnav was falling for Kushi from the word go and we as viewers could feel his anger, agony and frustration at himself for letting Kushi affect him the way she did.
Advay on the other hand is here on a mission. All we know is that he definitely hates Chandini as of now. Yes there are the glimpses of Dev we get to see now and again but then again since he is so much in control of himself that its hard to tell if he is only just acting sweetly or is actually affected by chandini
3) Arnav was just plain rude and brash. He talked to his employees and staff rudely as times, mainly the HP/OP brothers always were the ones to face his wrath and of course Kushi too had to deal with a fair share of his temper when she worked for him.
Advay on the other hand is very good with his staff. Infact he has a confidante in both Murli and Shilpa. I think therefore he is a very good person at heart as he is able to treat those below him with respect.
The only thing similar between the two is that they are both obsessed with the woman in their lives and hell ya we are loving it.
TBH i don't think that Advay is dangerous. I don't think he means to harm anyone, he only means to scare. He wants justice to be served and I am sure he will make the Vashishts confess to their crime in full public view. But his sexy MIL is one tough cookie so it will be fun to see the two lock horns.
Well thats it from me now and thanks a lot again for your lovely post. 👍🏼
Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani
