Agree with everything you've said
Arnav to Khushi... ❤️[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKo1e0cnWGA[/YOUTUBE]Just finished watching the episode so I thought I'd add my two cents...a comment I posted on pg.6! Lol..forgive my laziness!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Brilliant, brilliant pointers!! And you've taken a very fair and neutral stance which I appreciate, especially with regards to the pointer in bold. I completely agree with you, it seems they're finding it difficult to portray ASR in love, or rather in maintaining a balance.I love a relaxed Arnie, and I equally love the fact that he is able to smile at ease when with Khushi, for I see that as a progressive characteristic. Today, I had no qualms with his relaxed attitude, because I felt he was completely in character, where I didn't think he was in character was when he began to imitate Khushi, whereby I saw more of Barun than I did Arnie...it almost came across as a random insert into the scene. Generally though, I felt Sobti was not his usual sharp self, he was tired; especially in the delivery of his lines and expressions, nor were the correct emotions brought out, which is where the scene fell flat for me.However, where Sobti lacked this episode, Khushi more than enough made up for it, my eyes were on her throughout the entire scene! I think Sanaya did wonders with her expressions today, and with that I was left completely satisfied. They didn't overdo her antics which I appreciated a great deal, nor did they dramatise her interaction with the waiter; perfect scenario as far as Khushi and her nautunki was involved!And you're right, it was a romantic moment which was seemingly rushed, and for that reason, the impact was also significantly reduced. I do hope they get around to having another date...until then, their first ever date in which Khushi had an important conversation with her chai and biscot will forever remain etched in my memory as being *hands down* one of the best dates in hindi drama! Yes, it doesn't take much to make me happy! 😆------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A comment I made on the previous thread prior to watching the episode, but one which still rings true for me regardless:Guys, the thing you've got to remember is, is that ASR has always been a progressive character, it doesn't make sense for him to stay in the mould permanently, for he's a product of his dark past and ultimately, of present circumstances. The fact that he retains his ASR ways most the time with others, but is opening himself up to Khushi is beautifully done by Sobti!! For me, his character was never fated to remain as ASR, but a blend of both ASR and Arnie - perfect balance!! And if that means extending his naughty grin to a sincere smile, I'm all up for it! 😊
