Sriti is so well cast for the role. Her beauty is not obvious or dazzling, that's her asset. This is why she could pull off a completely non-glam role in Jyoti. Sudha was the unattractive sister there as well, and she pulled it off with such panache.
Well said. Its not about Sriti at all. But if the look comparison was coming I'd have expected the costume department to make her slightly less pretty, maybe not as plain as Sudha, but slightly less so than they have showed her here. Because personally I feel this is among Sriti's best looks in a while. And considering the many posts I'm seeing of her looking gorgeous as Pragya so maybe thats why this comparison issue is not looking convincing enough for viewers.
