I mean there is something called as effortless (if you know what i mean), and these two women prove that acting comes to them effortlessly. If we look at the trends going on in the serials on TV in the last 8-9 years we will find most serials have females who are forced to show exaggerated expressions with long shock sequences with camera moving from one face to another to capture every one's (đ) expressions.
and honestly no offense to any of the other serials (infact i like some of them), where is the scope for creativity left in such situations with the emphasis mostly on melodrama.
Neena and Shilpa are simply amazing and convey so much just by their plain face expressions. Nanda's helplessness as a mother of a teenage daughter and change in Shubha's way of acting as the events unfolded in her life are simply the highlight of the show.
HATS OFF TO BOTH NEENA AND SHILPA for bringing back that life to TV and reminding us all what ACTING is all about. KEEP GOING STRONG GIRLS.
