People think any sort of mental issue means mentally retarded
Keeping that aside i don't get some people saying any actor that goes crazy in scenes like this are over acting. Extreme reactions are ott only. When people have no control over their reaction that reaction will always be over the top. How else do people want these actresses to look? All sophisticated and calm and composed when they are having a bipolar anger or a panic attack and keep their voice down and talk softly?
I saw the same kind of mocking for sajal's breakdown scene in orangreza. Her character was on the verge on loosing her mental sanity. Did they want her to sober and only have one drop of tears falling from her eyes?
I remember one Hollywood actress ( I guess Anya Taylor) saying how some directors want the female lead to show her rage by only having a single tears dropping from one eye. She said when women get extremely agree they should be let to shout it out and don't force them to suppress it all in with a single tear.
