Btw, Erica is a fantastic actress. She was great with SS and she’s great with PS. Maybe, just maybe, if y’all having a problem then look the other way cause it ain’t her.

This is a public forum last time I checked. Not the public fanclub of any actor. Maybe, just maybe, if you are having a problem then look the other way cause people are allowed to have opinions about acting. And have I or anyone stopped you from writing a thesis? I complain about KSG in every thread. Go lecture someone else.

When KSG started, I was slightly put off with the excess swag which seemed forced, but then, now Bajaj has grown on me, and I have started naturally relating to that put on swag as natural. I knew this when KSG's Bajaj started feeling normal to me.

As far as Erica's acting is concerned, I think her acting as such is fine, but her dialogue delivery is bad man. And as you said, it came off childish and petulant, and the other thing with the dialogues, idk how many noticed, but she's the only who says, Aap aise HO instead of HAIN, and that again adds to the childishness of of her character. And even her dialogues yesterday weren't great (Haven't watched today's), yeah but she's getting owned by Bajaj. Unlike her, I felt Anurag was more in control.

Bajaj technically owns both of them coz well, he's won and they have lost. But Anurag still came off stronger with excellent screen presence in my opinion. Bajaj didn't seem to overpower Anurag and neither did KSG to Parth. Especially the first confrontation. Even Bajaj felt like he was facing a good loser. This time, he's literally having fun with some kid. That's how it seems. 😆

KSG's "acting" has grown on me to a certain extent but I wouldn't say I like it. But I'll start writing another dissertation if I start listing out my problems with his new style of acting, so let me stop here. Suffice to say, I don't especially like him in this show. Not yet.

Regarding Erica, her dialogue delivery seems to have improved actually. I think people judge her by her tonal voice which is never gonna change. But she seems to have worked on her dialogue delivery and it's not as bad now. Anyway, I think you have pointed out something amazing that I've been trying to vocalize. This usage of HO instead of Hain has been throwing me off. As you said, it adds to the childishness of the character. Her dialogues are never particularly good but I was experiencing an intense disconnection to her acting. I understand she is supposed to be in pain, she is supposed to be weak. But that her emotions are coming off as very hollow for some reason. You're right, the situation is framed like an adult dealing with a naive child. I am also having severe problems believing in her hatred for him, she just looks tragic. Not even good tragic.

I categorically disagree. I think Parth was better in the first encounter. KSG had his moments but when Parth was speaking, he was better. He had a natural flow that KSG lacked due to his odd dialogue delivery. That said, you have a point about Bajaj's calm demeanor. It's possible that he is trying to constantly keep his rage under control. We'll judge if/when he expresses his anger.

Bajaj/Prerna scenes are ridiculous, thanks to Prerna's hilarious dialogues and terrible screen presence.

Parth's dialogue delivery is very good. I did not like his way of emoting anger. He stretched his eyes, pressure on his jaw with a frown throughout the scene, I did not like it, I can picture his face and I still don't like it 😆

What i am having problem is with the inconsistency in the writing of the character Prerna. Till the scene where Prerna goes back home and gets depressed after Mohini humiliates her, i could connect with her. But after that, the writers or even director has messed with her character. Leave every fall or shock Prerna had to undergo till now if we are considering Prerna is still pregnant. I will just brush it off as drama. But what they showed with Eri in that red saree is beyond my comprehension. On that single day, Prerna had to go through lots of emotions like humiliation, angst, fear of loosing Anurag, taking care of him, again fear as Anurag gets arrested followed by emotional moments with Mohini and finally faceoff with Bajaj. Inspite of all this a pregnant lady who is in her first trimester doesn't have any emotional breakdown. And 2days later she is here using her child as some sort of bargain with Bajaj and that too when she has not informed Anu about it. What are the makers trying to portray through Prerna? That, she is a mahaan and superwoman who can forgive everything within hours and be everyone's savior? If so, why wasn't she mahaan enough to inform Anu about her pregnancy in any of the cosy moments she shared with him? And if they are trying to say, it is because of her insecurity about the society that she was planning to share it with Anu after the marriage, then that shows she is a normal woman who can't handle all those negative emotions in a single day and not have a breakdown. And it is this contradiction in Prerna's character sketch which is making me laugh at the current episodes. I do agree that the entire cast, especially Eri who has now to shoot with the protagonist & antagonist characters, is working hard to give us the episodes. But, unfortunately i am not being able to connect with Prerna or AnuPre. Tbh, i find AnuJaj and Anu's scenes more relatable. Which is why from yesterday onwards, i am repeating it in all my posts that just to satisfy EK's ego and her craze for negative characters, currently Bajaj, she & her team is butchering Prerna's character. Which as an Eri fan, disappoints me a lot.

Above is something what i have written in one of my post in the main forum. To add to it, after reading arshi_asya's post on BajRag vs PreRag, i also feel that the writers are purposely trying to show Prerna as a weak/foolish/childish character whom Bajaj can easily overpower, either to show that how Bajaj transforms her into a strong woman or to show how Pre's betrayal will change Anu into a strong and mature person who will later settle the scores with Bajaj. Hence, i am not expecting to see the sassy Prerna whom we saw in the Komo track, anytime soon.

Problem is that Prerna was always sassy with Bajaj. There were times when he used to be flabbergasted by her witty comebacks even when she used to be at her lowest.

Even I think writers are purposefully trying to show Prerna as weak/childish/foolish right now in front of Bajaj to give edge to Bajaj's character. Bajaj couldn't dominate Anurag completely but with Prerna he could easily do that.

For me the screenplay for AnuPre is very very week..to see parth as manik was an awe moment And to see him.as Anurag especially with prena and mohini was very disappointing. But again I could see both parth trying his best..but Erica's role as prena is confusing. Both the actor as well as the character. As per the story she is the strongest women but all her decisions were meek and the way ERICA portrayed was a little bit of underplay..even swetha was under playing yet she came out very well...may be the times had changed.,may be as women we all had outgrown the superstitions of being selfless means the strong women.Our attitude and our ideologies are different now!!

So in could not come to a conclusion at all..between erica and prena who is weaker!!..sometimes the actor but mostly the character

I liked her scenes with bajaj bec she was better there frm the normal stuff she does..but still i agree with the Tm that the certain amount of energy, fire was required which wasnt there..in thr scene where she accepts his proposal , she is supposed to act helpless and weak but not when she sees him first . There ksg dominated the whole scene..shweta was excellent in s1 , bec of her character but there was fire in her eyes and the way she spoke. May be the cvs want audience sympathy for anu pre . Haye bechara shoda couple (punjabi word ..for helpless) being predated upon by a villain..with sneha she is quite good.. .but when pre has to scream or say dialogues quickly like the recent scenes where she rescues anurag and comfort moh , itna jaldi bola ke kuch samajh nai aaya.. Or may be they shoot like that ..jaisa bhi ho , they dont have time to correct ..

I agree and this reminds me of S1 Encounter that prerna was the woman of steel. I am not sure why the writers are rehashing Gopi bahu with this prerna and unlike SM FC's where every one is going Gaga over the hate chemistry of the couple I couldn't find any spark in the couple forget about the chemistry. For me the scene was like two actors trying to salvage the absurd writing with their bad acting. It might have worked if they were at the top of their (acting) game but all it did was left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Also, thanks to Erica this is the first time I liked ksg's acting coz she was that bad IMO that made ksg look good.

I blame the writers here. This is'nt prerna Sharma but prerna bahu. Erica can do a good job under proper direction I like her breakdown scene before the leap in KRPKAB she was Almost perfect

Honestly giving the neutral review, Erica's acting is not suitable for Prerna's role, she downplay's her role and her dialogue delivery is poor, and i hardly see changes in her expressions for different scenes with different situation. Her all expressions are similar, same and specially it is more noticeable since the dialogue delivery is same/ poor for every scene.

Now before Erica fans can jump on me, i just want them to imagine how would Surbhi Jyoti or Surbhi Chanddha or Tina Datta OR Even Shrenu Parikh or Dhrashti dhami perform in this role.Their expressions and dialogue delivery would have been far more on point. They r more polished actresses. The same dialogue and same direction but they could give more from their side and could impact.

Its not about the characterization, the lead can be fearful, frustrated, weak, but she has to portray that, If u see Sriti Jha's acting, Sweta Tiwari's acting or Sakshi Tanwar's acting, Surbhi Jyoti, they can definitely portray meek, weak, fearful, frustrated character or current Prerna's character 10 times better than Erica. Main issue is she is not impacting because of her acting and i am being totally neutral, its not only about looks, her looks is suitable. her dialogue delivery is very weak, her expressions for surprise, shocked, frustrated every scenes are same. so overall when she comes on screen, somehow the screen presence or acting does not work or audience cannot connect.

Even if they give Erica sassy lines she can hardly convince because she does not have that attitude or aura or cannot act if i say more straightforward.

Erica needs to do lot of home work. Only look & height wise she is matching Prerna's role. Acting needs a lot of improvement from her side.

Parth is on point on getting Anurag's role, i would say he is doing better than Cezanne Khan. He was on point and KSG could not overpower parth with his screen presence. They were both impacting same way. Because his acting was good. it had impact.

Somebody was saying that KSG acting was bad, but i am seeing he has tremendous screen presence. and his acting is far better than Erica's.

Now Actors can improvise as well. If Erica needs to improvise she can, why doesnt she do it, I can see Parth is giving his 100% but i cannot say Erica is giving 100% and serious.

Now i know when Shashank Vyas said in one interview, that some actors take the cake without working hard and it is very frustrating as well for other actors of the show. Erica got such great opportunity but she is not giving her effort at all. Because as audience i am not seeing her effort. She needs to do a lot of hard work, she needs to be serious, Prerna is a good role if u can give from ur side as an actress.

look at Sakshi Tanwar's character in BALH, where she was mahaan and weak sometimes but how beautifully she portrayed the character, look at Sriti's current show or her show Saubhagyavati..see her acting, how well she portrayed a weak character.For this Prerna, dialogue delivery is like casual talk for every scene, whether its jail scene, whether its anger, whether is frustration, same, i also felt that when she speaks she is drunk.otherwise how can an actor talk for every scene in same manner.Expressions for every damn scene is same.No difference.

Erica somehow not able to make that impact. The show is running mostly on hype and season 1 tag and on male leads shoulder when it should mainly run around female lead's shoulder which for KZK1 it was on Sweta's shoulder, Kahani Ghar Ghar ki ran on Sakshi's shoulder, come on this is an iconic show of Ekta, Erica needs to be serious and learn to do better.

Erica has acted very well as dr sonakshi bose, loved her in that serial.

Problem here is the script and the rotten dialogues coupled with unrealistic situation.

The person whom we should blame is the director and writer who cannot get a job done well from erica.

Ksg is an experienced actor whom am sure adds his quirks to the character, so parth and erica are inexperienced when compared to him.

Unfair to compare surbhi jyoti / zoya or with erica, zoya had a author backed role with excellant dialogues ditto with sweta tiwari from season 1.

Hope ekta improves on her director and writer, erica is fine just needs a good script otherwise prerna will never match up to bajaj , who right now has the best screen presence and characterization.

Hoping for a greta love story between prerna and bajaj.

Prern should be mature enough to make bajaj learn some humanity , kindness and make him a better oerson.

Right now she is an emotional fool.

Loved her in the courtroom when she was enpowered by the clues supplied by bajaj.
