Does anyone actually like the acting/find the cast has potential? - Page 3

I guess different people have different views on what a great actor is.

There are good actors, the average ones, those that need improvement and those actors that even in a bad scene they are considered the best 😆

The 2 female leads will improve over the time. I remember watching the initial days of IB and 100 episodes later, Surbhi improved so much.

These 2 might improve later on plus I think they have less exposure.

For me, the character of Fateh is badly written, whatever good there was in his arc, that has gone to the drain right now.

I mean stalker, obsessed and slavery in names of love?

The actor playing Fateh has been in the industry for many years, I've seen him in Kuch Rang and he did a cameo in Kundali, I found him good in both shows.

I'm neither a fan of the actors but the 2 female leads can improve tremendously especially if they are given more than *crying, sacrificing and obsessed* roles

About the insta posts, I guess I never followed a show where insta posts and reels are considered important. Maybe most shows I used to watch I rarely interacted with other people on forums or social media, I don't see how reels or insta stories will make a character better.

About posting stories aka more JasFa content, I seriously don't care... I mean what can be done when the whole character is based on a triangle and has no good commendable qualities other than that.

Insta stories, insta followers or whatever doesn't really determine how good an actor's performance is or how good the character is. It's just for actors to feel appreciated and fans to show their appreciation. Nothing more.

I think it would be better if any actors playing in a triangle would share posts with others apart from the actors/ characters in a triangle. It avoids fan wars, but then the fans demand them and it gets complicated.

Instead of reels or whatever, I personally would like some bts on how they rehearse or shoot for scenes, bloopers.... I think it's funnier 😆

About your post, I believe great actors are those who tested all type of roles, negative, grey or positive. Or had an arc which included all those, where their performances are challenged with each episode and they keep impressing.

This became such a long post.

lol yes, everyone has very different opinions on good or great actors, twitter is proof of that 😅

I feel I’m holding them to a higher standard because I don’t feel the genuineness in their acting. Perhaps, I may be alone in thinking this. But I didn’t *feel* when Ankit portrayed Fateh’s hurt over Jasso, I didn’t feel many of the actors and actresses were convincing in emotional scenes.

😆you know I am too lazy to type lengthy post.

So will keep it as simple as possible😆.

No I didn't find your post insensitive or rude.

Actually the lead actors are new to tv industry. Fatejo together can create spark. But when you see them individually there are many flaws in their acting skills.

The actress who plays tejo manages to portray her character decent enough but I won't call it first class acting. She needs improvement and it comes by the experience.

Then comes the lead guy he is ok ok types when it comes to acting. I don't see much variation in his facial expressions. He needs a lot of improvement. Even though he did 3-4 shows before udaariyaan, the acting skills are not much impressive. On top of that his character in this show is flawed so it makes even worse.

And finally let's talk about jasmine😆. She's too young so I can't blame her acting skills. But still the dialogue delivery is very poor. Literally she dictates the dialogue instead of delivering them properly. She doesn't pause between the sentences. She goes like some express😆 no stopping at all. She reminds me of shankar Mahadevan who can sing without taking a breath in between.😆 he is doing great according to his profession but this girl needs to improve.

She becomes overly sugary or ott.

Rest of the cast are okay. As they don't get much screen presence.

What is this I wanted it to be simple but ended up writing paragraphs😆.

You pretty much summed it up for me 😭

I started watching this show after Fatejo marriage and liked it till Tejo became dumb . I have issues with character sketch as well as acting . Fatejo has great chemistry and together they look really hot but acting wise I am not liking Priyanka’s acting when she is with Fateh . When Fateh took her for the

Night out and they were stuck in the car her talks like ‘ Bhook lagi hai Fateh’ etc fell really flat for me . Everything seems so artificial even her laugh . I am not criticising Priyanka . All these may be due to how

We are shown Tejo as mature person all these while and with Fateh she behaving childishly or behaving so naive is what irks me the most . Even her voice modulation with Fateh is different in such scenes . It’s very shrill . I liked her after marriage very much bcause there was not this over friendliness or laughing and smiling without no reason . Even with Ankit I have same issues when he is with Priyanka his acting looks artificial whereas with Jasso it looks real even when what they show is disgusting. Jasso is one character that remains same with everyone and Isha is doing a good job to pull off her character. Her psychotic behaviour sucks I agree with that but that’s okay if she is slowly becoming the antagonist. Only thing is makers should agree that she is grey. Support characters I don’t have issues much as they are playing their part well except Gurpreet and Satti .

Coming to character sketch no character is well written or one would like to look up to except Khusveer and Adhiraj and Mahi . I like Tejo but her self Sacrificing and babysitting her husband who is not worth enough for her attention just puts me off .She even didn’t listen to mami as if she has blind trust on her sweet little sis who is such a creep .

Gurpreet and Sattibare other worst characters . Gurpreet is so insecure of Tejo . What does she really want . Get her son married to Jasmin ? Now I get why Fatehbis like this , he has got it in genes . Mahi is such loving character bcause she is like her dad . Tejo’s dad is another poor written harvester who doesn’t have any voice or control over his daughter . I don’t know why they show Tejo’s chacha Chachi bcause hardly they are given any dialogues . Even Adhirajbis wasted . I would like to root him for Mahi but Sandhus are such worse people that I don’t really wish Mahi to suffer .

Coming to Satti I don’t have words for her . She can’t even see through her daughter after getting many hints from maami and has the audacity to question her . She is the one behind Jasso becoming such horrible spoil girl . Even beeji is no less . They talk as if their daughter is some extra ordinary naive and good girl whereas in real it’s not so .

I would like Gippy to expose JasFa and show Aandhus the mirror and even Tejo so that this drama will come to an end and everyone can choose their path .

They are at par with most new leads on other shows.

But I don't watch shows for the acting. mostly for the story and what's next. Despite the cringe worthy characters and storyline - What's next is very interesting as of now.

If fatehjo are happily settled, what's there to watch - great acting or not.

Well I find acting pretty decent. In Fact Ankit Priyanka are pretty good. Their chemistry got me watch the show ! In ITV most of the time actors hardly do any acting 😆. So it is not a right platform to judge acting calibers !

I don't think Ankit promotes any Jodi. His feeds normally reflect what is going on in the show. Cringy Jasfa have been in forefront from start of the show . In Fact it's after Marraige Fatejo got a bit importance else only chance Ankit got to show his acting was while romancing Jasso.Tejo was always there as their audience 🤪.

Actor's interview on Trp is funniest I must say. Coz actors are not at all involved in TRP planning . TRP comes from tv audience which they hardly connect. Actors are just asked to do what brings TRP and they do it. They are mere front faces, real TRP game is played by producers, creative team and writers.

Insta , twitter are way for actors to boost their confidence and get appreciated that's it .Till a drama's faith is decided by TV based TRP actors are mere puppets . All they can do is ride TRP success of show and get more pay.

Pink: Yes! Especially Ankit. I have made a few posts about this before but I am linking the article here as well. https://www.indiaforums.com/article/good-trps-motivate-us-to-do-better-ankit-gupta-aka-fateh-of-udariyaan_178267?ri=6&rv=6662

Yellow: I would have to agree on this part. I also feel that they haven't taken the time to get things right. Small things, but they matter on screen. Things like makeup, characterisation, character graph and a very mediocre supporting cast.

Green: I can go on about this forever. I have already ranted a lot, but in short. yes, completely agree.

Brown: I hope so too, there is a thread about that on the forum, do have a look.

Purple: I feel Isha was good at playing Jasmine till she became psychotic, I could really see the bubbly, sheltered, stubborn younger sister in her. But then the way she uses her high pitched voice to seduce Gippy and her psycho antics look more humorous than anything else makes me question her capability. I feel she was able to pull of Jasmine well, because in real life Isha is a little bit like Jasmine. Young and immature (not in a negative way). I sometimes feel they want to portray Isha like Maya from Beyhadh but are failing miserably 😆

Red: Not at all! Glad to hear your views!

@bold- Dear it seems ravi and sargun intentionally went for cheap and not well-established actors for their first production as it will be easier to run the show financially if the actors are not established well-enough to be able to have much negotiating power when their salary is being decided.

This is the most funny part about this show. Their TRP is actually nothing great. But the cast is behaving as if they are TRP toppers or something. Right now it is ok because Colors don't have better performing shows and also they don't have a good rival show. The moment that changes, TRP will fall and I would only blame the overconfident makers and some cast.

Coming to acting.. their acting is not that great. It is just that Ankit and Priyanka managed to create some good chemistry. So their acting flaws are definitely overlooked. And ITV don't really require people to act well. It is only about how much they connect with audience.

Yeah the cast are flying way too high only because they are slot leader and right now the number 1 highest rated show (fictional) on the channel. I guess the channel are happy with that considering how poor most of their other shows are right now, so channel must be pleased with the show right now and hence why the cast are so over-confident. I guess that's why now this nonsensical track of ema has started, so that ratings increase even further than the 1.7 they just achieved.

I guess the overconfidence comes from the minor success of your first show taking off. I remember reading they were on thin ice due to TRPs not too long ago…

It’s bonkers how the makers have managed to drag us back to JasFa when Ankit and Priyanka were the saving grace of this show. Call me biased but I feel no one from the cast connects with the audience. The only person who’s true to character is probably Isha (not saying Isha is Jasso offscreen but rather the childishness etc on her social media).

Yeah the show had the axe looming over it and did have a warning from the channel.... but the show turned around its fortunes with the fatejo marriage track and from there ratings started increasing.

Hmm this is a very interesting post. Firstly everything you’ve said has been put forward very nicely so you don’t need to apologize and I doubt anyone will be rude.

I’m just not sure about what you mean by connecting to the audience. Do you mean connect via sm or through their acting?

Coming to over confidence about TRPs, most TV actors speak like that from my experience. Nearly everyone states that their show is unique and spectacular when that is rarely the case so I’ve just began to mentally block whatever they say.

Acting wise I find them all decent, I don’t know if they would be better if the characters were written better. Even the supporting characters aren’t that great. I too liked Ankit and Priyanka’s chemistry as Fatejo but the individual characters feel flat.

Jasso was still decent before the wedding. Fateh’s ibadati ishq was too stupid but he was a decent friend. Tejo’s acceptance of that ibadati ishq(she even decided to help him)and sacrificing nature was meh. I liked her dreams though.

Now that they’ve made Tejo stupid, Jasmine psycho and Fateh pendulum the only saving grace would be brilliant acting which I don’t think we’ve seen. I also agree that after what they’ve done with Fateh’s character, there’s nothing Ankit does that can completely make it better. It’s a pity because I liked him as Jatin in Kuch Rang.

Coming to Ankit promoting more Jasfa😆 Yeah that’s been noticed by several forum members here.

And yes about ITV villains, to be a good villain you need a good written character and great acting and Jasso has neither. I still remember Sakshi Goenka from EHT who was a villain but a treat to watch.

@Bold in red- That's usually because the actors are contractually obliged to only speak highly of their show lol.

@Bold in blue- That's odd considering there's no way he doesn't know that jasfa are not that popular and fatejo are far more popular, so why is he promoting jasfa.

@Bold in black- Sakshi is my all time fave itv villain. 👏

I didn't like Maya of Beyhadh Season 1 except for her wardrobe. ❤️

But, Behyadh Season 2 was fire.. due to storyline and Jennifer and Ashish's acting. 😎

WOW this is the first time I've comes across someone who didn't like the character of maya in season 1 but preferred maya character in season 2. Obviously jenny's acting was great in both seasons and worthy of praise, but I did not get the praise for Maya 1.0 and justification for all her behaviours and actions being solely that she had an awful childhood, and trashing of saanjh and also aneri just because fans felt anything maya did has to be justified and not criticised just because of childhood trauma, where saanjh and aneri both were trashed for very trivial treasons in comparison to what maya did.

On the other hand in season 2 I found maya's actions justifiable as she did not use past trauma and injustices to do anything bad to people who had no connection to her bad past, where in season 1 arjun, his family and saanjh had to deal with the repercussions of what maya had gone through in her past when they were not even the villains of her traumatising past the way the season 2 targets of maya were.

I guess then I disliked season 1 maya mostly for the reason because people were too defensive of criticism towards maya unnecessarily even when she was wrong by using her past as excuse whilst trashing other characters who didn't do much to deserve as much criticism as maya. And I remember being trashed and abused on the forum then when pointing this out so I left. OK my off topic rant is over, but it's been years since I spoke about beyhad and the first time I came across someone who shared my same opinion about maya of season 1 so I couldn't hold back lol.
