Woohoo! Finally your posts are getting the attention they deserve. This thread has really blown up, and it's nice to see so many members getting involved.
You're promoting the EDT even on here! 😆
I must admit, I didn't care much for Zain's acting when the leap first took place. I didn't think he had much on-screen presence at all. But as the story has progressed, I've noticed a vast improvement in his acting. He can so effortlessly transition between different emotions, particularly during the more intense scenes. His expressions (as @arshisfan's collages/gifs highlight!) always fit the mood and tone of each scene. He has really breathed life into Neil's character, and all the endless social media fan pages are all proof of how much he is adored and appreciated!
My favourite male actor on Indian television will always be Harshad Chopra (was a huge fan of Tere Liye back in the day), but Zain is slowly making his way to second place!
I've liked Aditi from the beginning - I thought she was the perfect choice for grown-up Avni. Like Zain, she too has grown into her character. Her acting seems so much more natural. And she is incredibly pretty - glad that the softer makeup is now further enhancing her beauty. Wasn't really a fan of the heavy, harsh eyeliner pre-marriage!
I have been somewhat detached from Indian television for sometime now; there haven't really been any good characters/storylines for me to follow in recent years. But Naamkaran is a breath of fresh air, and I spend unhealthy amounts of time on this forum!
I love characters that make me think and have enough substance for me to be able to analyse, dissect and critique them in a meaningful way. I may be in the minority, but for me love stories are secondary to a good storyline. I started watching this show for Avni, I was interested to see how she would overcome the troubles of her past and move forward. But along the way, I have enjoyed the dynamics of her relationship with Neil, the mutual concern, respect and understanding. It is only when I connect with the characters that I can then begin to enjoy their love story.
Anyway, I think I've said enough! Can't wait to see what else the writers have in store for us!
