hmm interesting question!!
I never had an issue with aishwarya initially i'll be honest! she wasn't bad in the beginning...
Ever since her return from her parent's house track her performance has started to go down!
That is because she has shifted her energy somewhere else ( i won't discuss it)
i don't think it should be difficult to portray pakhi's expressions! karishma is a little similar though not as vile, she has her moments and we can feel through sneha's expressions what karishma is thinking or what she wants..
I compared Sneha because she is fairly new herself!
As for Ayesha, in the beginning, I would have said no, but I see her improve and i feel she could pull it off though the issue would be that she looks young! That is also a reason she nails Sai well is because she looks younger and has that innocence!
Pakhi is more interesting and honestly, an opportunity of a lifetime to play! If Ayesha was in the role I feel over a period she would have improved (though i'll be honest I cannot think of anyone as SAI JOSHI than AYESHA SINGH! she just nails it and call me biased I cannot accept anyone else as SAI)
I feel Aishwarya has potential somewhere, I saw her performance in the beginning and I saw one episode of her web show, she wasn't as bad as she is right now! If she wants she can improve and work on her expressions but unfortunately she spends her time on other unnecessary topics which we are all aware of!
The other thing that affects her performance is the lack of acceptance from her side for her character... she is not ready to accept pakhi as a grey/negative character! she wants to sympathize with pakhi, I don't think that is helping her! she needs to understand the clear motives behind her character and work on that....
We have all seen a fair share of ITV by now and we see goodie two shoe character playing actors transform into negative characters! Even many other newcomers do the same... Suraj (aniket) for that matter also played a negative role before coming of GHKKPM... and he was not bad!
The thing that is pulling her down in my opinion is her need to justify pakhi.. she wants us to sympathize with pakhi like she does without understanding that people will not! she needs to understand that like kaku even she plays the role well we will love to hate her! kishori ji knows that as well so does sheetal, they know we love to hate kaku and sonali and they accept it...
If Aishwarya wants she can do a good job but for that she needs to think of her priorities and work on herself and accept her role for what it is!
@ bold, so true ,even I feel this is the main reason for her downfall , actress not accepting her charector...
Even I can't imagine anyone else in sai role other than ayesha❤️
