Definetely! Deba was good since day 1 but she has improved so much in these months, like I have definetely started noticing her performances like dissecting her minute to minute expressions and I am sure she will improve even more specially in the emoting with eyes department.
Like in that eye lock scene, there were so many emotions emoted by her- fear, vulnerability but also feeling safe and secure finally in shaurya’s arms and then looking at him in such a way, with respect, a very tiny bit of attraction I felt from anokhi’s side yesterday (though for like a microsecond but something definetly changed);
And then coming back to her fierce self while stating facts about women’s safety. The transition was damn good.
She was so good in that scene and the whole episode really.
Also, so many of us were trying to understand anokhi in these few weeks, and we did connect to her reasons somewhere so to have that connect with audience without any inner monologues of what anokhi is thinking, and portraying her flaws in a way that even her rudeness didn’t sting since while scolding shaurya also there was a certain softness.
Honestly both kv and deba bring such softness to their respective characters who are also so fierce; this softness combined with the intensity of their fierce nature is what sets our screens on fire.
Plus is it just me, or deba brings a certain tehrav to anokhi, the reason anokhi doesn’t come across as too much on your face even after her lecture giving tendencies. Like the way she says her dialogues with such softness and sense of calmness yet In a fierce manner, it’s just beautiful.
I think the tehrav and innocence but with fierceness that she brings in anokhi’s character is why I can’t envision any one else in anokhi’s character.
There is definetely room for improvement but the way she has come up in these few months, it’s only onwards and upwards.
