Rajat's rigid acting - Page 10

i don't know why we are having such a length discussion over this. The TM just stated her opinion . Although I do agree with 1 or 2 of her few pointers, I have to disagree it one some level too. Yes there are some things RT can work on, but overall I think he is doing an excellent job. I know why Ekta selected him,and I believe she has made the right choice. For me RT seems to have improve day by day, and am looking forward to seeing more his skills as I have heard a lot of praises on his acting skills.

blahblah- oh thank god you also thought the skirt thing was simply crazy. I thought people my grandmother's age were the only ones who would object to skirts. But there the whole forum lit up like 4th of jult. You know you and I might have met there during that long painful debate.

Okay, I will shut up about it. Who knows they really are lurking around here.

And you know that is a good excuse...that things like that happened all the time during those times. As long as there is no rape involved...Ekta did include rape in many of her other shows and then showed the rapist marrying the poor gal but I highly doubt she would do that in this show.

I just hope this show doesnt turn into a daily soap because Ekta's shows always start amazing and then turn into kitchen politics. I would rather she focus on rajniti and romance rather than kitchen politics. But I think it is inevitable with mahamanga. Oh well, that is a long way away right now I am excited for tomorrow's epi.

Firstly, WOW. We went from 47th rank or something like that to 13.

So yeah!!!!

I will let you know right from the start. This thread is not going to be popular considering everyone seems to love Rajat so much. I just hope I don't get bashed like I used to in QB and IPK and MB forum when I state how I truly feel.

Now getting back to the reason I made the thread. I have been told that Rajat is an amazing actor by practically everyone on this forum. I have heard he acted very well in his other historical shows. And I am sure he did, but I am finding his portrayal of Akbar lacking. I find it very annoying the way he forever stands with his hands behind his back. I understand that he is a shehenshah, but the way he stands like that is annoying. I liked today's episode, but I couldn't help but feel distracted by Rajat's rigid stance. When he bent over to pick up the payal...even then one of his hands were behind his back. Wouldn't it be more natural to just flow...to be fluid...to take that hand from behind your back and put it on your knee while bending down? I don't know why this is so irksome to me but it just is.

Plus, I am scared of his bulging eyes. Scared that one of these days his eyeballs are going to pop out of his socket.

I don't know about his acting in the past historical shows because I have not watched them, but all I can speak of is what I see on my tv, rather laptop, screen. I feel like he is trying to hard to portray Akbar's ruthlessness and in doing so he is looking a bit absurd to me. He comes off too rigid. He needs to loosen up a bit. He needs to not crook his head everytime he is angry or fascinated (like he did today when Jodha was looking at him in the water).

When you use the same expressions everytime to portray a feeling...it becomes repetitive.

Maybe I am being too harsh, but this is simply how I feel. I actually really like Jodha's acting. I would have thought I would have a problem with Paridhi considering she is fairly new compared to Rajat. Maybe he is just having a hard time playing a larger than life negative character. I believe he has always played a positive character (with the exception of Tere Liye) so it may be hard for him.

One thing I liked though was how his eyes softened up when he had the payal in his hands after he got it out of the fire. The portrayal of someone smitten by the beauty of a woman was clear on his face when his eyes softened up like butter. It's his rigidity that I have a problem with.

EDIT- I just read the above post. Were you stalking my CC thread or something during IPK times because I swear my friends and I said the same thing about the oily hotwa. 😆 😆
