As usual I have a lot to say, but I am thinking of making a separate post on Shivprasad, not to defend him, but you know I am loving how makers are being so realistic about his character. I was annoyed with his "I told you so" attitude yesterday, but you know something, it's not him! After watching his conversation Chintu, I realize makers have done really good job in writing his performance but they are unable to convey this clearly that he finds role playing difficult. He just wants his family to be happy, and leave rest of the worries on him; but he doesn't not get hang of those feelings because he has not really been there.
I will make a separate post on it.
Now coming to that mini - pointless love at first sight comment
I am never huge fan of Love at First Sight troupe unless they are well-executed. Sorry, it takes me back to Pakhi Didi era
No offense to anyone. But Love at First Sight should be accompanied by deeper connection, and built better than just Oh I saw you, I heard you sing, you gave me a rose and I am in love with you so deeply that I will leave my wealthy family for you - that's stupidity, and sheer luck if it worked. Hence, I NEED the better back story to really connect the love story in real sense. One thing additional to these troupes is definitely trust issue, and probably constant self-doubting trips - "Did I make the right decision?" And we can often see Shalini blabbing about her wealthy background and Shiv's middle class background (including yesterday, I let that slide because it had lot more things happening, plus Shiv's comment.)
That's one reason, my liking for his Parshuram role is little stronger than cute family sequences - Not saying those aren't good, trust me I love pairing, but their dynamics sometimes look unbalanced. Chintu seems to love his Paa only for his hero image, Pihu is the best, Shalini - Great Mother, citizen, and ok wife. So, I need more time to know them better.
Sheetal, how long is this woman going to torture us? Please someone tell me that her role is as short as cameo in normal soaps. Why does she keep talking some random crap about people.
Also, @AninditaB, do they show their past in original? I don't know how long and what additional set would they have needed to just show 30-second scene rather than just that audio clip
. There has been many love at first sight stories that I have truly enjoyed but those ones really go beyond eyelocks and blushing people, had meaningful conversations, and slowly grown into a phase of understanding. I hope that was the case for Shivprasad and Shalini.
