I saw the first major improvement in her acting and presentation during the A-K Poona scenes. Thank God Almighty...her lipstick stopped dripping and I think she is slowly getting rid of her funny expressions( except when she screams at Angad...at that time it seems as if she doesn't want to scream at IQ, haha).
Her enactment of a shell-shocked and shattered Kripa was beautifully rendered when Angad technically marries her and the post-sindoor trauma was also naturally done. There is a streak of maturity in her acting now......NOT CHARACTER PUHLEASE! Even all those love-lorn looks that she was giving Angad while dancing with Prithvi were very natural.Yesterday, her shock on the engagement arrangements was also good.
I think we criticize her unnecessarily...you can't expect every actor to be spontaneous like IQ...some ppl take time in getting into the skin of character and I think after the initial awkward hiccups, Neha has finally gelled into Kripa's character....she looks prettier and acts better now.
Moreover, don't forget , Angad cannot alone create magic ...he needs Kripa for that and the natural chemistry between both of them only adds zing to the fiery bond.
Dinky didn't make fun of Neha's surname, she just posed aquestion but some of us did poke fun at her surname which is "rude and insensitive."
