I read though the post.. yes she has layers, but I miss smiling FL .. so not able to fall in love with show .. being huge fan of romance based shows, I miss the true love wala feeling here ...
revenge drama is ok, Baazigar is famous revenge drama .. but the ML deceives the girl in that case ... here she knows he will harm her family, still gets is confused ? as love for family is true, she should hate him.
not to compare the actresses, but the only comparing the characters between IPK 1 and IPK3, I find Khushi was also an orphan, complication with sister wedding, not evil, but never got true motherly love, still always had a smile on her face, that is what I miss here ..
atleast occasionally would love a smiling darling, not only khushi, I watched another show .. ek dujhe ke vaaste, where FL was a normal girl, struggling with life, had hope and was cheerful, hence I somehow like the FL to have a charming persona, IF not at least the ML should be lively person, both are missing here.
Its my POV, no offense, its not needed kii all agree with you. I am not seeking your approval either, just stating that I still can't connect with Chandini.
