I find Dipika is a great actor over all. Thing is most of us don't like d over dramatic scenes so we don't like her acting in them.
Today's episode ......she literally have so many expressions in dt shooting....in 5 mins. So I don't think she is at fault wid d emotional scenes. Its d director ..... directors instruct actors to tone down or dial up emotions......dts their job.
About the similarities between Sona and Paravati ....I would like to cite an example. I had read a very famous movie actor say dt when his mother passed away he didn't know if his own tears were real or not. He said that because he was so used to doing such emotional scenes in movies he couldn't distinguish if his emotions were real or because he was so used to crying in such scenes in his movies. So there are more similarities dan we guys think.
It's a life we see from outside and make assumptions. We don't know what they actually go through.
