ITV actresses who deserve to be in Bollywood? DT Note on Pg 16 and 23 - Page 8

Sana sayyad was quite good in divyadrishti. Very impressive performance despite being a newbie.

Speaking of which,Rati pandey had done a cameo in divyadrishti as divyadrishti 's mom..only for 1 episode but left a huge impact ..so much that it remained throughout the show.

I haven't watched Hitler didi or mjht but she mighty impressed me in divyadrishti..stellar performance!

Drashti is so overrated..she can only do one type of role..the damsel in distress though she did justice to the role of a selfish home breaker in silsila..but paled in front of powerhouse aditi.

Others:

Pooja sharma:was effective as draupadi..decent actress..wonder why she or paridhi sharma(who played jodha in jodha akbar) didnt get more shows ?pooja along with very few actors were the saving grace of sp mahabharat.

Rashami:have watched her in uttaran..no one can play a vamp like her.and she plays positive roles..anyday better than the overrated actresses like drashti or erica or DT .

I agree with u .khkt was so overrated..dipika was overacting like anything. It was such a headache.(the initial few episodes were promising but quickly became disappointing kitchen politics. )

Dt..divyanka was good as ishita in the beginning..but then she became so monotonous 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️and irritating. Was disappointing to see her win every award out there for her monotonous portrayal.

Another overrated actress is shivangi joshi..who plays naira..gosh!one note actor..shrieks everytime ..hams like anything..honestly hina khan did a far better job as akshara.

When did erica become top actor😆?her dialogue delivery..I guess everyone agrees. And she is a very very average actor.the male lead,the actors playing his mom,sister and aamna sheriff who now plays new komolika acts in circles around erica..they all are quite good.

The overrated ones according to me:Jennifer winget (yeah it's an unpopular opinion but she is just okayish and gets way more praise than she deserves),shivangi joshi/naira,drashti,surbhi chandna,DT,helly shah (gets a new show every 3 months but disappoints every single time),the lead of yjhjk..looks pretty but acting🤦‍♀️.

Sriti jha is quite talented but is stuck with kkb..early in her career..she had portrayed a girl with dual personality and nailed it!has talent.

Sanaya has good comic timing and is a better actor than drashti..but aajkal overacting bahut karti hai aisa suna hai.she was quite good in her most famous show on sp.

Surbhi jyoti..is better than the overrated ones.knows her craft..works hard and was quite impressive as in wide range of roles a modern city girl,timid cook,naagrani,and a mythical princess. Talent hai.

P.S I'd still say..all the actors I mentioned..even the overrated ones can do a far better job than the talentless plastic nepo kids being forced down the audience's throat ..(yes,including the overrated alia ..meryl streep seriously😆!)

DivyaDrishti is mocked like anything on SNS! lol.

Rati did a cameo there? woah. Can you link me to that episode?

Man you should watch Rati in Hitler Didi to see her full potential as an actress. It was one of the best performance ever on ITV. HD was an unique show & had easy breezy vibe and perfect blend of romance, drama, comedy, entrainment, emotion, intensity when the show started off in its initial stage. MJHT is also a very very good show till the track I've seen so far. Rati stole the show and her character Nupur had touch of Geet from JWM. Sanaya was the other lead of that show.

Drashti was unbearable as Nandini. Majority of viewers panned her acting. She only vibrated and shook her head throughout the show. No comparison with Aditi. Each & every actor overshadowed Drashti in Silsila.

Pooja was phenomenal as Draupadi. She has set a benchmark with that performance. Next level acting. She left everyone in awe in her debut show itself. None could believe she delivered a performance of such high caliber without any previous acting experience. I'm still so salty that Pooja didn't get a single award for that epic performance. She's class apart. She did Mahakali with SRJ (Krishna of SPMB) after that. She was excellent there too. But Pooja is super lazy. As much as I disliked SPMB because of unauthentic ridiculous storyline, I do feel baring Shaheer Sheikh the entire starcast was top notch especially Pooja, Aham and SRJ.

Rashmi as Tapasya imo is the best performance ever in a negative role on ITV alongwith Simone Singh as Sakshi Goenka. Rashmi isn't that great in positive roles but she still does far far better job than most of the top ITV stars.

I used to follow KHKT initially but later on it went the same cliched track. And Sonakshi's character didn't have that spunk. They shared a great chemistry that's it. KVG was the saving grace. I'm glad he got his due through that series but Dipika toh I don't consider her even an actress LMAO! I'm stunned to see people's stupidity on Twitter how Dipika's non-existent acting is praised to sky high for playing Sonakshi. ITV fans are so gulible who confuse likeable on-screen character is equivalent to good acting for them. Dipika sucks man!

That show is considered a pathbreaking type of show just like Bepannah, Ishqbaaz fans used to overhype those faltu shows to the moon.

Divyanka I'm not fond of her acting style either. Too dramatic. Too irritating. Monotonous. Zero variation. Monotonous. KP is a decent actor tho. Well Tv awards are sold anyway for Ekta camp only so what's so surprising in DT winning undeserving trophies year after year. They mostly give awards to their channel star or someone from Ekta camp. DT won critics award last year too over Aditi as Mauli 🤣 DT is overrated as f-ck.

Shivangi Joshi. Oh god I've dealt with many of her rabid fans on Twitter. She's got great amount of SM fans lol idk why & how. She's neither a looker nor even a decent actor.

I can't stand Hina either. Lousy actress. And her overacting as Komolika 🤪 She won too many awards for that cringefest performance. Talk about standards.

LOL. True but I share the same opinion on Parth too. Erica isn't even fit for supporting roles. She's sooo basic looking. Has no star appeal. But she was good in KRPKAB because of good direction I guess.

Jennifer is like andho mein kaana raja 😆 I actually like Surbhi Chandna's comic timing. The best one since Ragini Khanna IMO. And has great screen presence too & attractive. Emotional scenes mein needs to improve otherwise decent.

I like Sriti. She emotes really well. I've known her from Saubhagyavati Bhava days only. She was amazing as Janhvi. Wish she gets better roles. She's quite underrated I feel alongwith Kratika Sengar. What was the name of the show you are talking about where Sriti acted in?

Sanaya is decent actor. But she never makes me feel cringe and makes idiotic scenes bearable with her charm. She is a star and has a very starry presence too. I have a soft spot for her. Her comic timing is really good.

I don't like Surbhi Jyoti at all 🤧

Yeah that they are but being better than the likes of Janhvi, Ananya, Sara is no big feat. They're no benchmark anyway!

I have said this before. I thought it might create controversy but it surprisingly didn't. I think most tv actresses are prettier than star kids. About the acting I think if any Bollywood actor/actress had to work with such terrible scripts and directions, not to mention characterization that changes to the tune of the trp ratings, not one would be able to give a consistent performance no matter how talented they are.

I find Jennifer to be a good mixture of acting talent, looks and she is even a decent dancer. I agree she gets more praise than she deserves. But she may have aged out already. Mouni Roy I thought was one of the worse choices to go into movies. She is wooden to the point (something seems to be off about her).

Sriti Jha and Aditi are the more talented ones. But they are on the plainer end. But who knows? Aditi did give bollywood a try but failed.

and your opinion on Pooja, Rashmi & Rati? Aalisha Panwar? she has age by her side.

Aditi didn't really try BW in that sense.

JW is okaish dancer. She does have screen presence but I don't find her head turning beauty. And she's not that great of an actress as she's made out to be.

Mouni is definitely the worst crossover to BW lol

Indian TV really does otherwise such crappy one note actors wouldn't be the top stars. It's same as in Bollywood. 😆

Jennifer did justice to her role as Maya but it wasn't once in a lifetime performance like it's been made out to be. Neither none can do it. I can see many actresses nailing Maya's role. Actually there has never been a perfectly grey character written so amazingly on ITV before Maya & whole show was centered around her character. It was once in a lifetime role. It sealed the deal forever since her character was sooo powerful and she came right after KSG cheated on her, it was the combination of everything sympathy, powerful role and good acting took her to next level.

I've seen only promos of Dehleez. How's that series? Did it not have the male lead of Beintehaan? I've heard a lot about that show Tamanaa.

Paanch? It used to come on?

Ragini has the best comic timing on ITV. I loveee Suhana. Her bond with Badi maa was all ❤️

What about the actresses I mentioned in my thread? your opinion?

I don't know drashti have not seen her work but sanaya's show Bir garip was a huge hit here but till date I cannot wrap my head around the hype the show got. It was so bad typical 4lions rehash 🤣

I liked ADS in Ganga but the story did not impressed me much.

Have not seen Rati Pandey and Sana sayyad's work but that Sana chick looks cute.

The ML of the show puts me off evertime he is onscreen.

Rati do not have any fan following here so there are 0 chances of her show getting dubbed in Turkish.

Tere liye starring harshad chopda and Anupriya Kapoor was also a big success here I loved HC and AP but the girl vanished after the show

Barely any actress suits in BW!

They are only made for ITV!

I would consider JW back then because she had that vibe but now I don’t see anyone at all! :/

DD- Heena Khan Can’t stand them!🤢 No offence to the fans!

Mahabharata is mythological. And I watched it because my parents love to watch any version of Ramayana or Mahabharata.😆

Hitler Didi , I used to follow religiously till *that* leap happened. Something always go wrong usually on ITV shows post leap. I hate them for that because they take away from the core of the show. Rishi was the man wasn't he?😳. In a time when every male lead in tv shows was going angry young man route he was something different. And they did him so bad.

AalishaPanwar- Ishq mein marjawaan one? I haven't watched the show. I tend to avoid colors fiction shows. They are sometimes too regressive fory taste. I even followed Silsila after it ended on voot.

What do you suggest, is the show any good?

SPMB was sh*t as a show. The starcast was the only saving grace baring Shaheer.

So you stopped following HD religiously after they showed Indira's supposed death? did you follow any track post-leap? When Rishi had affair with Indira's identical? or when Indira was shown to be mentally unstable and her daughter brings her back from Lahore? Gosh! kiya bana diya itne acche show ko. It had become so messy! HD should've gone offair after Indira's death or they should've never brought her back from grave. It'd have been a much better ending Rishi moving on with Zara but the bull crap they had shown Rishi doing to Indira after he finds her out she's alive. That was a nightmare. None could anticipate the disaster. Agree Rishi was quite different male hero back in those days although I had a bias for Indira but I did love Rishi a LOT too. But the drastic change they showed in his character postleap was sooo unexpected. None could see that coming. I mean he loved kids so much but he used to act like a harsh stepfather with his own daughter (she was pain in the a*s tho) based on some filmsy reason. And Rishi was like Meri Indira Meri Shrimaati jee My this My that... what not when Shweta was there even when Zara was there & he was having affair with her he used to be all like My Shrimaati jee. But when original Indira comes back, he agrees to send Indira to mental asylum because of Zara's ultimatum! Damn. Kaha gaya woh pyaar achanak se? how could he do that to the woman he had pinned & craved and longed for 8yrs just to see a glimpse of hers and was living barely on her memories? He used to worship the ground Indira walked on. He couldn't see anyone doing injustice with Indira. Idk if you've watched those episodes. Then remarrying Zara in Indira's presence, romancing Zara and were about to have their wedding night after Indira came back into his life and in her house was so disrespectful for the love he shared with Indira. He acted so selfishly and like an ungrateful opportunistic loser, doesn't matter if he got married to Zara before he found out about Indira's existence or he wasn't legally married to Indira anymore. None could tolerate Rishi choosing Zara over Indira as his love & the main reason was only because of Indira's mental condition which is truly sad not because he felt he was in love with Zara. Zara was the better option for him at that time And his choosing to love Zara was utter bull crap cause he'd not have given her a second look if she didn't have Indira's face & characteristic features. He had admitted that several times himself that's why it was beyond me why did CVs did Rishi so dirty? And funniest part was they ended their marriage by turning Zara evil in following 2 weeks. 🤣 If cvs intended to reunite Rishi with Indira why did they show such idiotic stuffs? How ridiculous! Rishi going back to loving Indira & claiming rights on her as her husband was even more absurd. Indira went from his zimmedaari to love all over again. What BS! I so wanted Indira to not get back with Rishi at all and kick his a*s out of her life cause I knew for sure even if Zara hadn't turned negative, he'd have gone after Indira after she gets her memories back & becomes mentally and physically normal. Indira should've ended up with someone who'd love her and accept her irrespective of her mental condition.

Also, don't you think logically speaking if you love someone more than your life you'd shower love on her aakhri nishaani all the time. The reason Rishi used to give for not giving fathers love to her daughter was nonsensical. She was part of Indira so idk. Keeping everything aside his character had become way too selfish and insensitive postleap. He couldn't see anything beyond his own happiness & love-life.

Ishq Mein Marjawaan is engaging to watch till they replaced Aalisha's negative character with Niaa talentless Sharma! You should watch it just for Aalisha's performance alone IMO.

Rati's terrific at body language acting too. In Hitler Didi the way she captured Indira's mannerisms, her posture, Hitler pose and her hands around her arms. Great stuff.

Pooja's hindi diction is sooo clear & soothing to ears. Her performance as Draupadi and it's impact is everlasting and unprecedented. It's the best performance I've ever seen on TV.

Drashti dhami i liked her comic timing in geet.Use to be crazy fan but now i just like her as by time i have matured lol .She was good in Geet and good as madhubala too.Those who say she acted in roles dasmel in distress.I don't agree with them.Those who watched GHSP they will agree Geet was quiet strong character.She fought whole world for her unborn child although character maan helped her.MB was not also weak character she gave tough fight to RK but i didn't like mb when she forgave rk.In silsila her acting was good till she was domestic violence victim after affair started her acting become monotonus and her acting in some scenes was not so good.Aditi shined because her character was positive and all sympathies was with her character otherwise she is good actress but sorry aditi fans i found her good but not that good. she was overhyped because the story was written in her favor.In such sympathy and love of public will always with such characters. .I hv followed aditi work too .I have watched her in ganga(where she was strictly average)and also in punjabi movies too as i m punjabi.She is good at sometimes but below average in some movies.Sargun mehta is better actress than aditi i don't know why she didn't work in indian tv shows she would have excelled in roles given to her. DD was bad in pardes i agree but over all she is an average actress on tv just like other actresses on tv like DT ,Jenny,Sanaya,Surbhi etc. yeah i find DD gorgeous than any other tv actress.But I agree she don't deserve to be in bollywood but i disagree calling her trash actor because she is very good sometimes and very bad sometimes so in all average actress.

About jenny i loved her as her Maya she totally nailed it.Jenny is made for grey characters as her strong point is voice modulation. but she can't play seedhi sadhi ladki characters.She was so bad as zoya .

Some actresses who are good in comic roles are drashti,sanaya and surbhi.

You can't judge tv actresses on basis of trashy tv shows lol because most of characters of tv are mahaan and stories are stale they can't challange themselves with such monotonus roles.Over all you never know if they are given strong roles they could excel in in it baki acting is subjective may be you have different perpective.

Bollywood itself full of average or below average actresses .if i talk of myself i think old actresses were better than new ones.And i will say some tv actresses can act better if they r givemn chance than so called star kids

Jennifer is super limited as an actress. She's never impressed me in any of her roles so far except Beyhadh S1.

Sargun has done TV shows but she never excelled in any role.

Kritika Kamra is also talented. She actually did a great job matching Rajeev's performance in that news show. One of the few actresses that can play the bubbly girl naturally without going OTT. Has great chiseled features kind of like Yami.

I liked her in Kuch Toh Log Kahenge too.

i think only shweta tiwari was a good actress from tv

dipika is also a good actress but not consistent imo...she does great in serious/angry scenes and worst in light hearted scenes

also i think shilpa anand did good in DMG...just personal opinion as never seen her anywhere else after that

Sakshi Tanwar, Mona Singh, Urvashi were leagues ahead of Shweta. Shweta has improved by leaps & bounds after she matured in acting.

Dipika Kakkar? 😲
