Another post on KSG'S acting but bear with me.
I have waited long enough I think. I started watching bits and pieces of this show since KSG entered. Mostly because Bajaj is a genuinely interesting character and out of curiosity. I liked KSG in the first episode but I have been increasingly disappointed since. It's like I can individually see the elements that make him a good actor but it's not collectively coming together. There are these fleeting moments where I can just about capture it. But they dissolve just as easily. For instance, this bit in the episode last night, he says, "shaadi nahi hui aab tak?" and slightly shakes his head. I instantly got a glimpse of what he can be. But then, it falls apart for whatever reason. His entire attitude is wrong. When the attitude is right, the voice is wrong, when the voice is right, the facial movements are too much. There's something rotten in the state of Denmark.
I waited till his scene with Prerna to post my final impressions. I am sorry but I found no spark between them in the precap. There's absolutely no chemistry and it's mostly because of KSG's disinterested acting. I hate to say this but he's ruining the character and the potential chemistry. I never thought I'd say these words about KSG of all people. Whatever my issues with him, I have always enjoyed watching him on-screen. But this time, I am just not feeling him. I am not sure if he has regressed as an actor (which would be tragic) or if it's the show but something is very clearly off.
This is honestly a disappointing situation for me because IMO, KSG at his peak is better than 90% of the actors on Indian television. So it definitely saddens me to see him not performing to his level. He really needs to go back to the basics. Start again. Choose something simple to practice craft. This show puts him on the spot and he is not ready for it.
