Lemme start off by saying I love Sarun and their amazing chemistry. This and the story line is what drew me to this show to begin with. But that doesnt mean I am blind to the flaws of the show or the actors. Sarun are fantastic actors but I agree with the TM ...he does hold back. Now this is not all the time, say in scenes after rescuing Kushi or giving her the scare, his hug was passionate. But the other times, its a light hold, even his caress (when he cups her face) is very light. Sanaya sometimes does the same (when caressing the face) but mostly she is much better.
And to all those who say that Barun is married...and hence thats the reason. I'd like to point out that he is an actor...and he has done much more intense and intimate scenes before. Every actor has their boundaries and limitations...but i dont think a passionate hug/caress is one.
But all said and done, I love the couple. And they still manage to create magic on screen...yes!! It would be great if this is rectified.
