acting chops, some have, others dont

if you all noticed, Pakhi really did not have that much spotlight on her..whenever we were shown her character, there were always other important scnes going on..with the Jhadav family, Neetu politics, chawal atmosphere etc..more than being pissed with the ongoing Raghav-Pookhi scenes, what jars is the acting by this Pookhi character..she lacks depth and looks like she is merely parroting her lines and looks where she is told to look..she had tears when Raghav tells her his real intentions, but it did not look beleivable..she needs a hell lot more acting chops..look at Rachna's expressions..she speaks so much with her eyes when she is Kalpana..

Yeah I agree.

I beg to disagree with you..case in point being the confrontation scene with Raghav yesterday..she had the external environment, the camera angles, her co star brimming with emotions and yet, the actor playing Pookhi just fell flat..yup, she had tears and she was mouthing her lines but there was no depth..her expressions were not bang on..a better actor would have sunk her teeth into the confrontation scene yesterday..she acts like she is acting..the rest of the characters (all of them even including Daadi and Manda) live their characters..and their nuances..the pakhi character looks like she is just coming and going from her scenes and her dialogues...

Yeah I agree.

But I also think its because of the her character.

I guess the CVs dont really work hard on her character otherwise I think she does act well not compared to Rachana. She is awesome as Kalpi.

Look at Pakhya even he has a better screen presence than Paakhi. I gues her charater is not really shaped up well. Not Shrini fault I think.

Agreed..She was just saying those words. Nothing was coming from heart. I could not connect with the scene, It was so superficial

Pookie or better I say the actress excels in giving dumb expressions and silly smiles, she cant do heavy duty emotional scenes, sorry to say that But its not the first time she failed in those scenes. After presentation scene also she didn't had much impact other than making the room messy
