Shivani...
TAKE A BOW. 👏
Now it's no secret that both Vikram and Shivani are flawless actors. We've witnessed some great scenes with powerful acting from the duo, but Shivani's acting was on a whole new level altogether in this previous episode. Her pleas, her tear-stained eyes, her proclamation of love--it was beyond beautiful. You really had to feel for her. I had actual goosebumps as she screamed--begged--for her father to understand her love. Vividha has evolved so wonderfully as a character, and Shivani has portrayed all her nuances and shades with ease. Vividha is so, so brave.
It reminds me of a dialogue Atharv said in one of the initial episodes--something along the lines of "Mujhe lagta tha meri maa hi iss duniya mein akeli bahadur aarut hai, liken aapki beti bhi bohat strong hai." Yes, Atharv was right. Vividha is very strong. It's not easy for a girl to stand up for her love in a conservative family, let alone speak about him with such confidence and grace. Vividha loves Atharv. And she has proven it.
I'm so proud to be a fan of this show, of Shivani and Vikram. Kudos to everyone involved in JNDSD.
