Sunday hai aur episode late hai...
Isliye want some discussion and opinion 
No offence to anyone or their favourites 😍
What constitutes 'good acting' in emotional scenes especially when the actor is supposed to cry and mouth dialogue?
Reddit is very critical of Ayesha... always has been. Lately I saw some criticizing Adnan too... for his hand gestures and continous movement in such scenes.
People over X, here, lost forum... all have same thing to say... that Ayesha has improved... that in the crying scenes... her dialogues are not audible and only now has she got a hang of it...
This is my question...
Why and how should an actor portray an intensely emotional scene??? Dont we all look ugly and the speech comes out halted and garbled when some one is crying and processing emotions from the sudden shock/trauma/attack????
I have personally never had that issue... the speech was fine to me but I have always heard this about her.
Just because its an actor is it the necessary that the audience hears crystal clear dialogues and it has to be properly audible to us????
Where is the realism????
Ayesha with her performance in such scenes always manages to evoke intense reactions in the viewer... will it be possible if she is controlled and more conscious of what she is saying, how she is saying and how she looks????
Ayesha yesterday and Mona in Mannats arrival post Panmasala wedding had a small nuance... both were trying to pull something away from their throats ... Mona her jewelry and Ayesha her blouse... in a way signifying the suffocation they were feeling... that was a beautiful touch... 😍
And Ayesha was unwell, this scene was not rehearsed and was done in one take!!!! Absolutely brilliant display of her craft!!!!✨️✨️✨️✨️
Adnan acts not just with his voice but his body... he shuffles, has exaggerated hand movements, his veins pop up, face turns red... none of this is possible if the actor is not feeling the characters emotions... He has had 3 scenes (that I remember) where he cried and spoke... Mannats rejection, pyar ki gully after wedding and storeroom... in mezbani his speech was garbled too... by the storeroom situation Vikrant had processed a lot... and was quite clear...
NB used to generate spit in his crying scenes and his haters would criticize that... I didnt like the criticizm (edit) but never mentioned it then.
The only other example that I quote for reference is Katha... Aditi cried stoically... but that could be because since the start of the show Katha had lost her husband and son was dying with cancer. Katha was consciously putting up a happy face for Aarav. She must have processed those emotions multiple times earlier (before the show/story started... ) hence her responses were measured and not overtly emotional.
My question is this... should the actor be more careful and conscious about how he/she looks or should it be as raw as possible... to make it look real and raw but may have to give up on the clarity of speech???
Also the difference between voice of male and female actors... pitch tone and manner of speaking also matters...
Thoughts please 🙏
