@ NeelimaSJ...
Why should MB & SK be compared at all? I feel their portrayal of Dr. Ashutosh are miles apart.
Each has interpreted the role in the fashion best suited to them.
I agree with u Neelima...
@ Bold...
MB's portrayal of Dr A was in the initial stages of their relationship...How they met, how they got attracted to each other and how they fell in love...the initial denial of love by Dr A..His hesitation because he was falling for a girl nearly half his age...all were enacted to perfection by MB...and in a way that befitted his age...
Coming to SK...The story is now at a stage where Dr Ashutosh has grown more confident...not only has his self-confidence increased but he has grown more confident about his love also...Now the only thing that matters to him is his love for Nidhi and Nidhi's love for him...Being at death's door normally makes a person appreciate life much more than he'she previously did...SK being younger and having no inhibitions about doing romantic scenes suits this 'amorous' Ashu perfectly...When I saw the first Ashni hug the very first thing that came to my mind was how would MB have done this scene????? I am very sure he would have been most uncomfortable doing it and that would have shown in his performance...
Now that the show is on a romantic track (as we all wanted it to be)...I think SK is the best person to carry it forward...MB was exceptionally good in his mannerisms, dialogue delivery ...etc...But SK is also very good and I am sure if he receives our support and a good script/screenplay he will do full justice to the role...
