I thought I'd send this post out to test the waters.😆
With all the developments, twists, and drag that we've seen to date, who do you find to be the most INTERESTING CHARACTERS on the show?
Name at most 3 and why.
For me, these would be:
1) Dutta - There is much happening with him, Naku's reveal, his sense of self changing, parentage and understanding of who he is, etc. I also think that he is the RICHEST and MOST ROBUST character on this show. I think I'm partial--I like strong and complicated personalities and good people, and he is all of those things. Mishal is such a fine actor, that I really do relate to the character and feel for him.
2) Kala - I'm drawn to the dark side, I guess.😆 Kala is interesting because there has to be MORE to her. You don't just BECOME THAT, you know what I mean? Yes, Kala is perhaps innately greedy , selfish, a sociopath. But somethings have to have happened in her life to make her the way she is. Her obsessions, despite having a husband and a son, the respect of her family, are inexplicable. I am just hoping the CVs take this challenge and really tell HER STORY. I don't want her to become all good and nice, that is just NOT CREDIBLE AT ALL. I don't want to feel sorry for her. But I do want to UNDERSTAND her and the CVs have demonstrated their expertise with telling the stories of its characters.
3) Damodar Patil, Daddy Don - There is just something appealing about him...an honesty, a sincerity, a man who has seen it all, and is not bitter. I like this guy, for no particular reason, I don't even know his full story yet. He just FEELS RIGHT. I want to know everything about him, and his relationship with Dutta, and the daughters. His life has shaped so many others'.
These are the three that I think are going to be the most interesting from now on. AS's story will be interesting, BH or not, but it's tied to those above. Naku is a character I do not find compelling much anymore, quite frankly. She is a good person, but compared to the others, is more one- or two- dimensional. It's all about her secret, her Bappa ways, her mom...the girl has no thoughts, seriously, separate of those. And, I'm surprised no one brings this up, but she BARELY talks to Dutta, and he does not to her. It is weird for two people who are so in love. And no, staring at each other longingly every friggin' day for the rest of the millenium, does NOT MEAN DEPTH of love or A COSMIC connection....it's the lack of. Nothing makes up for conversation in understanding one another.
