Just copy pasting from LU: my 2 cents on Nish and Vatsal😊
---
Here it goes...
Before watching Tuesday and Wednesday haldi episodes, I had read lots of comments over social media against Nishant and Vatsal's acting. Here's a few things I will like to point out in disagreement:
disclaimer: Ofcourse, I do not agree with Nannu's behaviour and goal to win Mish and defeat Abir. I too believe that this nishmish rishta is wrong on many levels, but there is substance and decent depth to Nishant's character that gives him the space to slide into the grey negative side.
- Nishant is not equal to monster Meenu. He does not have unnecessary hatred against one character. He doesn't emotionally control and threat his loved ones. He is simply very insecure, troubled and confused being who has lost his mind and ability to think straight due to his deep psychological issues. Unlike Baba's sudden negative flip; The makers have gradually and nicely built up Nishant's background as an ex-alcohol addict, who still has struggles with overcoming his guilt. recovering addicts take very long to be confident to say that they are completely free of addiction and have strong control on themselves to not fall back into relapse. Nishant is still very much in the process of recovering and very susceptible to his weakness of alcohol. On top this, he has deep anxiety issues linked with his guilt from childhood towards mah family (lower degree of ehsaan than Mishti has).
- This is where I have to give credit to Meenu and her clever attack
. She found Nishant's weak-spot very well (his addiction and insecurity with Mishti), she also targeted Mishti's weak-point again (her ehsaan for family) and also hit the mah family exactly where it hurts (Nishant's addiction)
Well played Meenu, Well played
[and then she ruined it by dropping the doctor's report
#typical] - The best part about this flipping of Nish's charc is the fact that he KNOWS he is doing the wrong thing. He can see and understand that he is joining hands with Monster meenu. He berates himself for choosing that path, but his psychological state of mind, stops him from correcting it (or owning up to it), His insecurity and anxiety levels are so high, he self-assures himself that what he's doing his right because he thinks Mishti is in the same situation as him - the state of addiction. Nish believes that Abir and their pyar is a detrimental addiction for Mishti, after seeing Abir consistently push Mishti away, hurt her so deeply emotionally, Nishant as protector has convinced himself that Abir is a forbidden drug that Mishti should not get attached to.
- The real problem begins when Abir genuinely and calmly tried explaining to Nish about why this shaadi should stop. Abir knows Mish is too emotionally invested with the family that she will find it difficult to say no to the rishta. So his next choice is convincing Nish. So Abir tries his best to calmly explain why mishbir break-up happened, why their pyar is special and why this nishmish rishta is disaster for all 3 of them. This is where Nishant loses it. For some reason, the writers took Nish's issues quite extreme to an obsession kind of stage suddenly. Unfortunately, Nishant has suddenly dug soo deep into this Abir vs Nish and 'prize' is Mishti concept
(disappointed with writers for never keeping a 3rd angle as pure friendship with lead
why to force one-sided love?
) - So I will condemn the writers for dragging Nishant down so much that they showed recovering addicts and those who suffer from extreme anxiety, to lose empathy and sympathy. The fact that Nish knows Abir is missing, potentially injured and god-forbid perhaps sinking to his death, the writers used his anxiety issues to justify that he wouldn't call for help or tell the other back home!?


Very disappointed with this portrayal of such psychologically disturbed individuals. No matter how troubled Nishant is, he can clearly see and understand that Abir's life is at stake, and he chooses to save himself?! This is very very hard to digest
Now on to Vatsal:
- Straight off the bat I'm gonna say; unpopular opinion: Vatsal did a wonderful job acting as the drunkard, insecure and frustrated man. Honestly, his drunk acting and dialogue delivery with Mishti and Jas, was very very good. I could clearly see an exhausted, drained and troubled Nishant.
- I've really enjoyed the gradual solo scenes of Nannu. All the monologues, the fidgety behaviour and restlessness have been executed really well. We got a really good insight into Nishant's thought process

- Other times when Nishant randomly becomes super jumpy, excited and happy, I do find it a little exaggerated. But I guess that's an acting choice. If we I can survive Rupal mam's "MEIN MEENAAAKSHI RAAJVANSH", I'm sure Vatsal's "naughty!!" is way more easy on the ears

- I guess the part where more improvement may be needed, is anger and confrontation scenes. Vatsal tried his best at the hospital in his fight against Abir. His delivery of dialogue at shouting decibels is often difficult to understand. It gets mumbled and lost in the emotion and loudness of shouting. [But Rhea on the other hand is spectacular
Cannot praise her enough, ALL the confrontation scenes of Mishti from the very first mish-kun gd break, to the latest mishbir patchup, each and every sequence she nails it. Her voice and delivery is pitch perfect and crystal clear
] Shah just has sheer magnetic presence and dhaansu solid delivery
Maybe also due to Vatsal's shorter stature, it was difficult to be convinced that Nish was furious. Shah as angry Abir at the hospital was super intimidating
Anyway that's all I think I have to say so far.
Waiting to see how the writers, continue or put a closure to Nannu's character. Hopefully he gets proper treatment
disclaimer2: Just want to re-iterate, I don't support Nishant's actions or behaviour. I'm simply trying to cut him some slack. He is not demon-like or devil like Meenu or Baba. He has reasons (no matter how weak or illogical they may be) - addiction and anxiety are real problems.
Woah this was waay longer than expected.
sorry
Thankyou for listening me ramble on and on and on
Let me know what y'all think

ohhh superb post Nandu totally agreed 👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗
today you are on roll with every character analysis... superb yaar.. 😆👏👏
Actually from start i've been more intrigued n interested in his mystery side maybe aadat se majboor from the time he entered i notice n kept analyzing his mystery side more than his positive which was obvious to eyes 😆 everyone only has two opinion either positive or negative so only the disappointment n all but if you start connecting with him from start with opinion on every side you will surely like his character n you will understand that its not abrupt..
he has a negative approach to everything tbh... more than seeing the positive side he thinks of the what if many times... abir loves mishti but what if he hurts her again, then his anxiety issue what if he fails his family,... he saw abirs bad side and his opinion on abir is purely based on that.. then he started developing feeling then came the proposal... he grabbed that opportunity bcoz of his ehsaan feeling n new found feeling and bm words on who is better stuck to him and he started comparing himself... even with mish accepting to marriage he was not sure he always kept stalking her to make sure she will stick to her words... remember once he said i dont trust anyone more than myself.. that applies to mishti too thats why on sangeet day even though he knew mish went out he kept quiet when mish explained everything to family n he just said its ok mishti you said the truth to us thats enough... then as abir came back his insecurity increased n he wanted to win over abir, mishti's constant assuring words were like ghee in fire even Abirs words that mish doesnt love him didnt get into his brain... slowly his confidence started breaking n he became little violent.. then the final nail in coffin was seeing mishbir last night... he knew he is loosing and the obsession went up... he fell in meenu trap n did something he didnt wanna do... his lost his control over mind n emotions took over...
obsessed people behave even more violently they can actually harm people with full sense.. .but here he is always in confused state in dilemma, he is oscillating between right and wrong, trying to reason out.. he is still in early stage of insanity yaar not yet in the extremes.. he is taking advantage of situation now..
him not helping Abir actually even in real life how many people help others when something happens everyone are ready to just be an on looker.. not blaming or criticizing anyone but when sane people can be like this in his panicked, insane state he could've acted more insanely but still he was more into getting away from there, and that message if you see it was so lame he didnt even know what he is messaging else he could've given a more logical, believable reply, then stopping kunal was also an attempt in his insane state..
actually kuku had done much more in their sane state Nannu is doing things in insane state still a better case... i no way justify him but such obsessed people do react like this and his character is not one directional like meenu or mehul but he is more complicated there is still more to discover in his character.. the mystery around him is still there, a more intriguing character that i want to look forward to 😆
ok coming to vatsal totally agreed yaar.. firstly if we understand his character then easily we would understand n see how good vatsal is doing... the transformation is so smooth n so good... he has portrayed it so well... 👏👏👏 and i totally agree with your voice modulation yaar RheSha are doing it best Rhea i'm actually suprised you know tbvh she is the first actress who i admire n look up at who is slaying in confrontation with clear voice modulation n all not even a single word can be missed she is the best... and shaheer asusual no one can beat him in voice modulation he adds even small nuances of voice shaking n all to fit the scene... vatsal actually can work on it.. agreed on this.. 👍🏼
PS: again a long post 😆
