Dear Mandy.
I was quite taken aback to see this 2 1/2 month old post, that I had completely forgotten, suddenly resurrected, and that too with such very flattering comments! Thanks a million for being so kind; and compliments do not have an expiry date, do they?
No, I did not ever study literature. In fact I studied physics all thru right up my M.Sc. But I love languages, and words -both their sound and their meaning. They in turn are often very kind to me, and they produce the perfect phrase or the perfect sentence for me, that is all. It is then an epiphany !
Yes, I do agree that Rithwik-Asha could not have been bettered as Arjun-Purvi. They do such a wonderful job, and this despite the vagaries of the CVs.

Sasha,so beautifully written!Love every bit of it.You have perfectly pointed out - moreover, Purvi too seems, as yet, to have no streak of mischievous gaiety in her. She is basically a serious girl, loyal and committed and extremely hard working, but not either turbulently passionate in love or what one would call bindaas. So her character too would thrive only in tension and adversity. . Otherwise she will be reduced to doing pretty, pretty scenes as a good daughter, granddaughter and so on, all standard TV soap stuff. That may be pleasant as what is called 'time pass', but it is not serious acting and one would soon tire of it. Arjun looks best when he is either in despair or dominating. He will not be anything like as impressive playing a standard issue lover boy.And that Arjun is not like Manav.
What a great observation! You seems to have quite a literary sense! Did you study literature?
I think no one can play like Purvi like Asha does and Arjun like Rithvik does.What do you think?
