I have been a silent reader of the forum posts for a while now, and until now, I have never really been motivated to post here.
Last week (I hope I remember right), in the scene where Prerna goes to meet Anu and they remain locked (voluntarily, whistles😆) in the bathroom, that ONE moment (right before the precap for the next episode) when he looks deep into her eyes and says, "Main tumhari shaadi Naveen babu se hone nai dunga, toh dunga". DANG. I was in heaven. I mean, asar itna tez hua ki I felt like he'd said the words to me😆😆 even when there's no possibility I'll ever get to even stand beside him.
That was the moment I realized, this guy is gifted. He is a natural charmer, and can woo you without even saying a word.
Honestly, when there were talks going on and on about who would play Anurag's role, and I read some udti udti khabar of Parth playing the role, I was not happy about it. In fact, I was kinda derisive and thought he would look such a misfit with Erica.
But now I know Ekta can never go wrong with the casting, she just knows this game too well!
Innocence, simplicity, forthrightness, honesty, passion, care, loyalty, and the potential to madly love someone - Anurag of 2018 is all of this, a shade or more each. Parth as Anu has been, and I believe will in future be, effective when he stands in these shoes, depending on what circumstances are thrown at him.
Parth has grown on me...insidiously..and it makes me happy because he's just so perfect at how he's portraying Anurag. And also, because it makes a 30+ married woman like me feel things (😆), the same way Madhavan had me melting back in the 90s.
I'd never even watched Parth's earlier hit show Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan, but was compelled to watch a couple episodes to see if he was really as good as fans made him out to be.
And oh my my! What a terrific scene it was...and so hot 😉😉I happened to watch the one where he and his girlfriend (I guess its Niti Taylor?) are out somewhere camping, and its raining and they're both drenched in love (and paani😆😆)..and then Parth moves towards her, says "I love you" and that was when I just died. I couldn't believe my eyes..this guy who's playing all seedha-saada, simple and sober in KZK looked like a walking ball of fire in that scene from KYY..am sure that's what he has portrayed for most of his time in the show. Hence, the crazy fan following.
How?
How does he manage being so sexy, and then portray this level of innocence and naivete? Just like a light bulb's been switched on. It's incredible.
I'm officially hooked❤️ and now, I cannot imagine anybody else playing this role. No one could have essayed it better than Parth has, and continues to...each episode!
P.S. I loved KZK1 but let me tell you, Parth's Anu makes me feel for their (his and Prerna's) love (or their impending love story, shall I say?) so deeply...it feels so so raw...not like I never felt for Anu and Prerna of KZK 1, but this time, it's an Anu I did not get to see before in KZK 1.
Standing up for the truth, being so dogged about protecting someone he cares about (and loves, but he hasn't come to that point yet), feeling the jitters in his heart when she walks by, feeling disturbed that he even FEELS these things...
I daresay not even Anurag of KZK 1 was so expressive.
This Anu is his real soul unleashed, and I love, love, love it!
I know Anurag is the type to never go against his mother, but now, given how passionate and determined Anu is about keeping Prerna in a safe space (in his heart, eh?), I'd actually like him to go against Mohini.
There'll be plenty of heartbreaks. This time, at least for some time, let hearts on the boy's side break. In fact, I think, this time, Prerna has, and will take Anu's place and do all she can to minimize damage and Anu will do all he can to ensure they take care of their hearts first, and family status and prestige later.
Damn. Parth, I love you!
