I agree.. for someone who's just started her acting career, Shivya is really good. the girl can act, if given a proper script and better characterisation to Arzoo..
About sparks flying between HC and her, well Harshad is a phenomenal actor and we know it, so for her to match up to him, it'll take some time and a lot of hard work, which I think she must be putting in..
I believe it's not the FL but the story writer and director's fault that they haven't been able to establish their lead's chemistry and utilise them to the best of their potential yet..
Once that falls into place, and she starts living Arzoo, I think Arzoo and Sahir will go down in history as one of Gul's finest finds alongside the previous ones..
They may not have that dhak-dhak heart-stopping, melting-like-a-chocolate chemistry as of now, but I can see some really intense undercurrents there.. And I hope Im proven right.. 😉
As for why a newcomer was cast opposite a terrific actor like HC, I think Gul had answered that back with Qubool Hai and now with Humsafars.. Surbhi and Shivya have brought freshness and their own charm along, which Im pretty sure even some of the reigning TV actresses couldn't have possibly done..
So for me personally, I love her the way she is, but yes Im looking forward to her churning out her best!
