what do you think?

I guess this is one of those many frustration posts out there but my troubled mind has to speak 😕
I know many will throw tomatoes, chappals, onions (impossible; they are expensive ) and many won't comment as they are big fans of the actors.
But I think the actors have lost their appeal. They are stiff and unemotional. They are doing it just for their livelihood .
Paridhi has the beauty and expressive eyes. But she doesn't use them properly. I am an novice at acting but I guess she can be more emotive and use hand gestures like Rajat. I don't know how many of you noticed this but her expressions vary from v. proud to angry only.
Rajat. God, how should I express my frustration? Something is amiss in him since few weeks. I know that an actor's personal life shouldn't interfere with his acting but Rajat's eyes seem hollow. They have lost their spark
I wish, hope, pray, want JA to be as before
Please please comment. I really want to know your views.

Anyone out here?
Nobody commented 😭

i feel that this is the fault of the script and the directors not the actors..PariJat are doing a great job

Sara my dear,

I think you are getting confused between the script and the director on the one hand,and the actors on the other.

Paridhi has been getting a raw deal from the first two for quite a while now, for no fault of her own. Her Jodha has been developed erratically and inconsistently, and she is not given any strong, empathetic lines at all, except on rare occasions, as during her grand apology scene the week before last. That was a high pitched emotional scene, and she did it very well indeed, helped by the fact that her face looks just as beautiful when she cries- a rare gift. She is made to constantly mouth inane lines at Jalal, screech at him for no good reason, and keep a stiff and/or irritated face all the time. But that is the script and the direction, not the actress.

Again, just see how badly the last Jalal-Jodha scene at Amer on Thursday was written! I have criticised it strongly in my post on that episode, but my critique is for the character Jodha, not for the actress Paridhi.

To judge an actor, you have to see him/her at his/her best. Take that little scene at Amer, just before Jodha goes to the Kali mandir. She tells Hamida Banu that she slept late because she could not get to sleep till late the previous night. She says it in all innocence, but Hamida, Mynavati and Dadisaa all misinterpret it and the latter two exchange knowing smiles. Jodha realises what they are now thinking, and the quick succession of emotions - dismay, alarm, awkwardness, shyness - that crossed Paridhi's face was a triumph of her acting abilities. When she is doing sympathetic scenes, she is very convincing, but that is easier to do. But there are other examples of tough scenes that she has carried off that I do not have the time to list out.

As for Rajat, you are even farther out. I do acknowledge that each person has the right to his/her own opinions on such things, but to say, especially after watching Rajat look at the sleeping Jodha,before and after her camping under that tree, seems to me to be incomprehensible. Rajat has a tremendous mastery of facial nuance, and his eyes say exactly what he wants them to say, which is not always the case with even seasoned actors.

He achieves microshifts of expression time and again, and can often go beyond the script and invest his scenes with shades of meaning that the writer & the director had very likely never thought of. His sole, minor weakness is in handling extreme anger, when he sometimes goes overboard, but in the scenes with the Rat King in recent episodes, he seems to have conquered even that.

So, unless you have been deliberately provoking reactions with a mischievous post, my own response would be that I do not agree with you at all, in respect of either actor. In fact, I am not sure you agree with yourself!😉

rajat was good in different scenes like in all tht fort fiasco...his anger n smirk was superb...his eyes was gleaming in tht ooh ahh scene... but akhdha scenes are so repetitive n now so borng..all the time.soft jalal n arrogant jodha...that now there is no charm in Akhdha scene left...so because of lack of that charm actors are suffering...

paridhi ka make up bohat dull ho gaya hae these days... pls CVs ,...change jo character now... show some softness from her side... jalal did enough ...now due this grihna n vachitra, daya mode of jodha n angry, bore, expressions of jodha ...paridhi's acting is suffering...

I don't know but I do find them both lacking around the edges. The CVs are playing havoc with the actors, characters and the story
