@bold....lol 😆

@red.........exactly. I was just thinking of doing the same. because if I think the scene will not be that good while watching the episode, I will not be able to enjoy it, even if its good. so I am completely forgetting what PD said. I am sure it will be an awesome scene.

@pink-Exactly Nishi😃.....that is what even i m gonna do!!😉

GG - IMO, Mayank's character gradually deviated from the original sketch when the demand for a YRF hero / or Nupur's dream guy (one who can sing, dance, act, be romantic, be mushy, be intelligent, be maa ka ladla, one who can cook, do the dishes, be God all in one) became predominant. Imperfections make a person alive, natural and real. But since there is a demand for Mr. Perfect, Mayank's character became unrealistic to me. If LOWE makes you change this much, I'd much rather fall in love with a normal guy who wouldn't have to resort to professing his love for me on stage impersonating someone else in front of 1000 people with YRF music playing in the background.

I will reserve any further judgment AFTER I see the episode.

*sigh* am typing this for the second time since I lost my original post...

GG, that is how badly I wanna comment on this post!

This one time I agree with PD. Not with her convenient palming off of the onus of the scene onto the actors, but that scene would fall short of expectations.

Actors are human beings, not preprogrammed robots who can emote at the click of a button or a swish of the creatives' lethal pen! Is that not the reason some actors are cast time and again against each other? Capitalising on an existing chemistry? Or some others are cast for the sole purpose that they have not been seen with each other ever before? Because the script demands a fresh interaction?

If the scene falls short of expectation, it is solely because the actors were never given the opportunity to explore and display the range of emotions required of the grandest scene of revelation. They have never been given the chance to show affection, adulation, respect or any of the other million emotions that form love. All we have seen so far is attraction which is still too shallow for such a scene to work. When the actors have not gone through the natural progression in script, to expect them to translate the myriad emotions on screen with each other, is just being completely unfair!

Having said that Rati still seems to have nailed it! Wish I could say the same about AB, who seems more the method actor, not as natural, talented nevertheless, but requiring raw material. He had a strong Base as the sarcastic, nerdy, yet cool dude, but never had enough to transition smoothly into lover boy.

Fantastically said as always, Aarti👏

@bold: Exactly....AB excelled as the sarcastic, nerdy cool dude....he has a more understated style of acting....but when they don't even give him proper enough material to transition into the loverboy Mayank, it's obviously going to look awkward...To begin with, Mayank was NOT supposed to be a typical OTT sort of loverboy that is there in EVERY soap....the day the creatives decided to OVERNIGHT turn him into that WITHOUT any sort of transition, THAT'S when the demise of Mayank began. And to now hear them say that the actors weren't upto mark in this big 'confession' scene....I think it's preposterous....did you GIVE your actors enough material to begin with??? Three words that sum it all up.....'woh teen shabd'....what can be said beyond this😕😕😕

P.S. Oh and another three words from Nupur's perspective....'barf ka tukda'😕😕😕

two schools of actors anu, one the rati/shah rukh school, natural, read a scene and know what to do, the second the AB/aamir school, where there has to be a strong foundation. either relating it to personal experiences or having a gradual progression. poor AB, for a talented actor that he is, he has been severely short changed here. Rati will shine come what may, like shah rukh does even in inane movies. give aamir a sloppy script like awwal number and watch him fail. mind, am a huge huge aamir fan.

i still believe AB has it in him to play lover boy, only with adequate script support though, not without!

hi guys

That's a very good analogy, Aarti....Rati is indeed a natural....she usually excels no matter how much of a crappy script or dialogues they give her.

But AB NEEDS good material to make things work! I truly feel sorry for him....the way they've repeatedly showcased Mayank in such a pathetic light in this show....I won't be surprised if AB himself feels a disconnect now :S

Like I said earlier...Mayank is supposed to be a DIFFERENT sort of loverboy....NOT the typical OTT YRF type that's there in every show....and THAT is what AB would have shined as.....if only they'd given him the chance :S

All I can say is....please god let this play be over and atleast let them get back to the regular college routine....what they've done with MN in this play is beyond torturous

Aarti - I absolutely LOVE your analogy. I am an Aamir fan too, so I know where you are coming from. Hence I've always maintained that I feel sorry for AB for having to be sold short. He has so much potential and does Rati, to emote through the eyes. Yet time and again we are subjected to randomness, ridiculous monologues and patchy plot.

guys said na , pd ki baat se disappoint mat ho . ya the scene was amazing , mindblowing , adorable . i loved it , and as i know mayur are the best couple ever form .
