Agreed. But I also think Simba's slowly improving with each epi a little. Also he's playing an army officer so maybe that's why he's acting so serious all the time. But I feel at times it he's overdoing it and it comes out as the character being boring & one dimensional instead. Thode se interesting army officers bhi hosakte hain yaar 😆
About Mahek - see the thing is, in a franchise like Naagin the negative lead has always been sooo good! Good enough to steal the limelight from lead naagin itself at times. Both Adaa & Anita being the prime examples of it. Hero toh bas eye-candy bhi ho toh kabhi kabhi chal jaata hai lol 😆 but playing a negative lead in Naagin is another thing altogether. Mahek has pretty big shoes to fill in that regard. Her dialogue delivery does come out a bit awkward and stiff at times. Plus her typical/theth punjabi accent also comes out kabhi kabhi while she's shouting at asurs.
P.S. @Rein123 I think her stint at Kawach was for about a month only and not longer but yea I've heard only good things about her when it comes to playing negative roles. I'm sure she'll improve with time. 👍🏼
