I agree with everything you said. The entry of Veer coincided with the drop of the quality. I will tackle this with the points given by you,
1. Aliya looks ridiculous. She's not Malvika. Abigail, at best, is an average looking cute girl who was lovely in her own jhalli way. She cannot carry off an elaborate hairstyle like that. It looks ridiculous on her and doesn't go with her character at all. She looks like a kid playing dress up. Horrible styling.
2. Kushal is effin terrible. Especially in comparison to the rest of actors. Kiran is such an effortless performer that Kushal's disjointed acting comes as a rude shock. I am fine with his angry-young-man attitude but I need some proper clues regarding his character. Also, who ever thought casting Kushal Punjabi beside a performer like Kiran was a good idea? Of all the stupid ideas, honestly. -_-
3. That cosplaying annoyed the hell outta me. Is this Clowns Mil Gaye season two? Because tell me now so I can get out. Aliya is super annoying with her pointless interest in everything. Like, who even does that? Why does this show need to glorify the heroine this much? Haven't we had enough similar shows already? Create good character, not righteous annoyances.
4. Ishaan is, frankly, as close to a perfect hero as it gets. If people legit think Ishaan should've randomly trusted Aliya making such a nonsensical and massive accusation with ZERO concrete proof, then they are insane. Aliya, I thought, was sadder about Ishaan wanting to talk about Malvika than "not trusting" her or whatever. Nobody would trust her random accusations.
IDK, I feel like this is turning into Dil Mil Gaye nonsense already and I am SO NOT here for it. Kiran is a fabulous performer and deserves better IMO. I liked the episode last night but tonight was beyond ridiculous. Veer is ridiculous and Aliya is becoming a caricature.
