Honestly, I loved Pia-Pari scenes when I saw them for the first time... But kabhi socha nahi tha, I would end up hating Pari with such a passion...
Me too! You may remember, when the first promo aired, I did find the kids to be elder than their respective roles and was irked about it. Once they started airing the episodes, really liked them. But I had never thought that I would end up hating Pari's character. On the contrary, Diaan improved a lot and Adi shone in the minimum SS he was given.
Among these, Shalaka will definitely top the list for me.
Next comes Dev... How I wish his character was given a proper farewell!!
Then Bhasmika and Trishila will come in the list. Even though Trishila's role was a short one, yet she did a nice job with it.
Well, I only watched the fight between Piya and Shalaka, so I would stand by your choice.
Dev was my favorite for his cunning attitude.
Acting wise, I liked Sana better than Stavan but later Bhasmika too was given an annoying trait and I was happy when it ended.
I applaud the makers for choosing the actress for Trishala because she did resemble Niyati a bit. And she had this mystery - really loved that even when he was basically a positive or at best grey character.
