Change from DR. Sonakshi Bose to Dev's Sonakshi(I really wish Dev called her Sona already!😆)
The Sonakshi we see now and the one that we saw at the beginning of the show are two completely different people. However calling her character butchered is a little too extreme I think. As everyone here , I am also of the opinion that when a person falls in love(especially for the first time ever) it changes that person. After all isn't being in love all about the other person? So much so that you forget you own self! No matter how cliche' and illogical the very idea is? Well to a person who has always wanted to live her very own love story I don't think it should surprise us that it changed her. It's not just her though now is it?! Can you seriously tell that the Dev we see now is the one that we saw at the beginning of the show?😲 In fact if we look at the both of them, he has probably surprised us more with his change than Sona did! I for one am not complaining though!😆But let's not forget that this is just the beginning! Their love is yet to mature.. it's still in the puppy stage when you look at it now. Both of them are in their small private bubble of happiness and they are yet to completely understand what the future holds for them and their relationship. So I think we should not jump to writing them off as dumbed down versions just yet.
However, the only part about Sona's character right now that irks me is how easily she lets Radha Rani belittle her!😡 I don't want her to show RR her place or stoop down to her level of course but she needs to make her understand that she is not obligated to take shit from someone for no fault of hers especially when she's not even her client . But then how else can they show the difference between cultured and uncultured - obhodoro in the true sense of the word. So I'll take it.
I am now hoping to see how Dr. Bose (when she does make a return and she will) will manage to balance this side of hers(the heart) with her old self. It's going to be mighty interesting to see how the writers are going to manage doing it. Speaking of writing, I have loved everything that they have given us till now sans the OTT love guru dosages from Elena . I loved how they have handled the whole relationship between Sona and Dev as well as Dev and Ishwari. No unnecessary complications (the fake Boyfriend track almost scared me). Their journey from being strangers to friends and now lovers has been so subtle and realistically handled. I almost have no complains and that's saying something for an Indian Soap.🤔
Coming to the Bose family.No matter how we see it, apart from showing the contrast between the two families they are not adding anything to the show right now. I seriously just skip everything when it comes to them. But I am not wishing for that to change as of yet. There is enough drama at Dixits to suffice for both DevAkshi and us to deal with right now. 😆
Erica's acting skills-
I really think she is one of the best on the show as well as on TV right now. Seeing as she has just entered the industry, it's commendable how real and effective her acting has been. I can relate to her character the most and Erica's acting definitely has been the main reason why I can see and understand her the way I do. I keep telling everyone how fortunate it is that both the leads of the show are such good actors. It's very rare for me to like the female lead even half as much as the male lead on a show😆 But Erica and Sona made it so easy for me when it came to KRPKAB . I am glad that she is the one who's playing Sona and ShaRica are so bloody brilliant together as DevAkshi. Both are terrific actors! Of course Shaheer however, has experience to give him that little edge over Erica but she's getting there and we can see how quickly she's getting there as well.
I see a lot of people complaining about the OTT romance factor on the show. I can't really talk for anyone but me so can I just be a complete fangirl and say I absolutely love watching Shaheer being oh so romantic I LOVE watching this side of Dev! I dont want it to stop!!! ❤️
On a more serious note, like I said it's just the beginning people. It's their first time falling in love. They haven't experienced love as teenagers. Which is why we see them act the way they are. So I seriously think we should cut the writers some slack. I do think we have some wonderful writers who seriously know what they are doing(well at least most of the times). I think this phase won't last forever so might as well enjoy it till the time we get it. The conflict has already started so our wish for a mature love story is not that far!
