I couldnt relate to Jai today! - Page 3

Well Anu, looks like u r not identifying with Jai/Bani for the past 2 episodes...loved ur analysis on both the cases..but somehow I cud not quite agree with whatever u were trying to convey 2day...

I felt that the way Jai reacted was pretty normal 2day..in the sense that one Jai is not used to asking forgiveness and on top of that that too to his wife who is so young to him...and that is the very reason why he was fumbling for words and cud not say it properly...and yes u generally cannot face a person when u know that whatever that u had said was absolutely bad...But yes Ram did not do complete justice to the scene as such...but I guess u cannot expect him to be brilliant always..but once again I liked him when he said the 'wife' dialogue and the way he held his chest immly and especially his reaction 'oops what did i just say' type look. Though I liked the scene concept the execution was not that brilliant....

Once again I liked the whole way how he was waiting for Bani and the way he asks her that he needs to talk to her. But somehow I did not like the way he was speaking with her. (It was good in bits and pieces..I liked the part when he says having lots of money and having missed his duty himself) There was something missing in that scene as well..maybe they did those scenes in a hurry and hence the gap.

and Aditya looked so normal when he comes to know that his daughter Anu is pregnant. I can understand Jigs reaction but Aditya..once again the director missed out on showcasing his emotions...it was as it was so normal...

In fact nowadays Bani's no make up suits the present track in KS...but I wonder why Pia also looked so pale..maybe coz she is sad at having to live in a house in suburb....

Good analsis Anu!!

i agree with what you say about Jai!! though it was sweet to read about...i don't think it really suited his character...

Hi Everyone!

Great to read all your views… trust me I didn't expect anything different.
Coming to the topic… May be I couldn't put it down to words properly. When I say the Jai that wasn't on screen wasn't the Jai I related to, I didn't mean I was missing the man who is always in control of a situation, a powerful business tycoon, an arrogant strong headed Khadoos. I was missing the Jai who tugged at my heart with just a simple glance and silent ways. I would never want Jai or Bani to change for eachother, I want them to accept eachother the way they are. But more than a character change, I felt it was inconsistency in the portrayal of the character not by the actor but by the people who wrote the scene. It is just my opinion. I could be wrong, but I don't think I misinterpreted Ram's discomfort during the 'Mujhe aise math dekho' scene. He was completely dissatisfied with that line. Ultimately it is the actr who puts lifes into the character he is portraying, and when he isnt convinced it shows and u cant do anything about it! And I do feel Ram is a very seasoned actor and for him such intricacies matter the most when it comes to developing the scene.
It isnt as if Jai hasn't apologized before. He has. Most of the times he doesn't say it, but his eyes say it all… it isnt his ego which stops him, it is coz he knows his verbal sorry wont match up to what he has done. Jai has always been the kind of a guy who admits to his mistake the moment he feels he is wrong. So this wasn't his 1st time apologizing.
Have Jai's thoughts ever needed words? Or has Bani needed to hear Jai to understand him? just one glance from Jai, and Bani knows what he is going through. Remember the moment when Bani came back after her Mom's barsi and Jai was MAD at her, the moment she mentioned why she was away… Jai's expressions changed. The look he gave her not just said that he was sorry, but she found so much of comfort in his presence that she poured her out to him. Wasn't Jai as genuine and humbled that day? Even in Goa when Bani showed up he was infuriated but the moment he came to know the truth, he had a "Sorry, I have been an idiot' kind of a look.
It has not that Jai has never avoided looking into Bani's eyes…. He has. But there was something amiss that kind of didn't elevate the scene to the magical heights, yday. There is no denying that it was a landmark scene… but it wasn't upto the mark. I am not blaming anyone but the creative directors and the director. If they have to maintain the magic of a character they have to be consistent about it… else these small details will go towards changing the character itself and before we will know, a beautiful character will be spoilt. I have seen that happen to some of the finest characters… from Mr. Bajaj to Angad. I actually felt I was seeing Mihir Virani, but there was a lot of pride in me to compare Jai to Mihir. I just might kill Ekta if she messes with Jai's character. Ram's discomfort was far to visible and that was proof enough that something was seriously wrong with that scene. To portray a character u need to know and understand its characteristic even though u cant relate or believe in the character. Ram didn't look convinced and his discomfort was striking on his face… it took away a lot from the scene. I don't understand why we should tolerate mediocre stuff just coz it is for TV and they don't have time to give a nice quality program.
Let me repeat myself at the risk of annoying u all.. I have a problem with the way it was portrayed and not with the characters perse or actors!

Luv
Anu.

Trust me Swathi, i am going bonkers over the last two days. I have waited for this day all along and when it did come, i am not able to relate to Jai, primarily. I am feeling miserable about it.

The only glimpse of Jai that i saw was when he said "You are MY WIFE" dialouge and the end of his Midnight discussion... he said "Thanks for talking to me" it was very typically Jai.

I would not want to consider this as a big shift in the character of Jai... i simply found it inconsitent with the character of Jai. Considering it was an important moment, u really cant excuse any shortcomings in it....

I hope by monday i am better off...

Luv

Anu.

yep i agree it could have been done in the jai walia way but he still seemed really sweet and he looked really hot 2!! 😳 😳
