Hiya there

Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani

I watched the SPA awards and much appreciated Barun and Sanaya winning. Haven't watched any of the other awards that they participated in and won...but one thing is clear...They are the Jodi number 1๐Ÿ˜ณโญ๏ธ...I much enjoy watching them and feel they are arguably one of the best talent on Indian television today.โญ๏ธ

If there was any more proof needed, one needs to watch IPPKND, Episode dated 28 March 2012, India telecast๐Ÿ˜Š...Every scene perfectly pitched, every dialogue or 'no dialogue' perfectly delivered, every nuance perfectly caught...In the minutes they were on screen, you forgot that this is fiction...ASR and Khushi came alive...and how.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

This is the Sanaya I love...chirpy yet graceful...delicate yet firm...voice modulated so well, that each of her expressions comes forth so clearly...a Sanaya who conveys much more through the little actions she does, rather than realms and realms of immaturely written dialogues or misplaced situations...

Watch her in two scenes please...a) when she sets up the mosquito coil...and b) when she tells Akash "Arnavji does not want me to go along" and then goes on to change it quickly to "Ok now he is said yes to me going along"...the everyday effect of actions, the disappointment and then the glee...fantastic performance.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

As for Barun....SIGH๐Ÿ˜ƒ...I wish I could post my own pictures here at in response to the dialogue less performance...totally in control in the bedroom scenes๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘...loved the duck to avoid the splashed water๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†...and really who would not want to get up every morning to watch brown chocolate eyes...phew!!.โ˜บ๏ธ...and yes!!...yellow is my new favorite color!!๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜‰...thank you for that Barunโ˜บ๏ธ

But coming back again to Barun's performance without the sound effects...(though I love the deep gravelly voice and am miffed that I didn't get enough of it๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜ƒ) ... every movement of the eye, every sigh, every time the forhead broke in lines of discomfort or irritation, every loaded look he gave to the family...and every time he expressed irritation, amusement and then plain love towards Khushi๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘...This is how its done fellow male actors.

Together both of them were a perfect foil for each other...each seeming to enourage the other to even better the performance...each picking up the cues!!...perfect sync...BRAVO!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Too bad there is no award for just plain good acting and we are stuck with bhai, beti, behan, pati, patni, ghar baar awards.

But thats not the point today๐Ÿ˜ƒ...the point is that these two are fantastic actors...each responsible for ASR+Khushi...you take one out of the situation...the other may not seem that effective.

So thank you Barun and Sanaya for an excellent treat๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

ASR and Khushi

Loved the sleep scenes and ASR's love came through๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Loved the dining scenes and Khushi's care came through๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

More importantly, after the bhang scene...this should have ideally been one of the next scenes๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ...when ASR silently calls out to Khushi and she turns back.....perfectly conceptualised...perfectly written,๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ perfectly executed๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘...and hit where it was supposed to ...right at the heart...what a beautiful poignant way to show two people are in love, that they are very much invested in each other๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

This is what this love story should ideally be about...๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

And this is exactly what ASR told Khushi in the Bhaang confession..."hamari dhadkane ek ho jaati hai"...if I could draw a dialogue bubble over him he seemed say/ the look on ASR's face seemed to say to her "don't you realise, our heartbeats are one.we are one"

Question is therefore..if Khushi understands him so well...if she cares for him so much...why the acidity attack...why cant she understand the love...๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ...why cant she understand he is so much in love with her๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Now its your turn Creatives

4Lions, Star Plus, Gul, Ved, Lalit, Arshad, Gautam, and whoever else

You dont give a damm about the audience...fine

You dont give a dammn about our intellect...fine

You dont give a dammn about the story, logic, continuity, screenplay...fine

You also most times don't give a dammn about your own character boards...fine

Hopefully, you do give a damm about Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

To say Barun is not attractive, at least to me is like saying the sun does not shine๐Ÿ˜ณ...But I, in my humble ordinary opinion feel he is a much better actor and a fantastic real life person...rather than a just gorgeous looking guy with a flatboard stomach.๐Ÿ˜ณ

I am not a prude and neither am I squeamish...But I believe you discredit Barun somewhere when he pops out regularly on our screen in half clothing...I am referring to the frequency of these type of shots...That is the job of actors who have nothing else to show off but their physique...Creatives' you have such scenes only when the script demands it or when they are done most naturally...like the earlier shower scene.

I would be very disappointed if Barun's real acting talent is compromised just because a few section of viewers think that this is sexy or you the Creative team think that this is gonna get more eyeballs for the show.๐Ÿ˜ณ

More importantly I would be very disappointed..if some day down the line...Barun Sobti is remembered like some of his television contemporaries...only as hot bodies on television...and not for what he really is...a "hot acting powerhouse to watch out for"๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Remember...we fell in love with ASR...because he had a certain dignity, a finesse, a well bred polish, a style ...and because he was not the regular weepy, wimpy, over the top, unpolished, uncouth hero... or just a physique strutting hero...

Same goes for Sanaya...we fell in love with Khushi because she was fiercely independent...had courage despite the circumstances...had grace and charm...not because she is made to mouth insensible dialogues...or scream around...for no rhyme of reason

The Khushi we saw in the later part today...please give her back to us...lovely, charming and very sensitive๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Sanaya is too good with her comic timing and emotional scenes to be wasted as she was with the sneeze or scream attack.๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Thank you

JW

PS: Creatives, in case you didn't know, diabetes is a slow life threatening disease, and some allergies could be very debilitating ...That dialogue to ASR "Aap batao aapmein aur kitni takniki problems hain" ...was very cute๐Ÿ˜ณ...but very insensitive...Got the comic context ...so no problems there๐Ÿ˜Š ...but you could have just left it at ""Aap batao aapmein aur kitni swasth ke problems hain"...that would have been more sensitive scripting.

Great post!!! Couldn't agree more. The CVs need to live up not only the viewers expecations, but need to take advantage of the acting powerhouses they have in Barun and Sanaya. (Though, I'm not going to complain about the shirtless scene today!) ๐Ÿ˜‰

@ JW, thanks for the wonderful post again๐Ÿ‘. BS and SI transform so much into the character, they make Arnva and Khushi look real. The entire episode was good except the Shyam scene.
Sharing the couch was done beautifully, both are getting comfortable with each other, he adjusted her head even in sleep, absolute tenderness there. Also khushi getting very comfortable around shirtless Arnav, I mentioned this in the AT, its not the same Khushi who was screaming and on the spot jogging when she pulled him by mistake thinking him to be Payal in Gupta house back in December episodes. One thing I did not like in that scene is that Khushi taking note of this allergy in her diary, what was the need for this just to add humor, the it was not humorous for me.

The dining table scene was good, she could read every lip movement and waht he thought, but she is not there yet where she can read his mind completely otherwise she would have figured out the reason how she hurt him, ins spite of him giving her so many hints. I like the way Khushi is continuing her business, as long as its not affecting him or the main story line. I think Arnav had initially objected to it because of his image, now I think he is ok with it. I think he was more angry about the way she did it.

About the last scenes, she could hear him even in spite of any sound, this is what we all want to see and more too and his reaction to her was spot on, surprised and am sure he was happy too. We have seen Arnav taking care of Khushi, his monologue and what he thought about her before and after the terrace incident, now the CV s have to dwell more on Khushi's thought process, her monologue, her care and more importantly they should make her find the reason for his hurt. That is what I am looking more importantly at this point.

If they want to drag Shyam's revelation, they can show scenes like these where slowly their relationship is strengthening with understanding, trust and when the truth hits both of them, they can look back at these tender moments and handle it better.

Finally how much ever I appreciate BS and SI, its not enough, they are a treat to watch on screen. It looks the episodes are disjointed but at least we are getting some good ones compared to the OTT that was dished out last week. Am waiting to see what's in store for us today.

Well said ๐Ÿ‘...
it's the best jodi and they make Arnav and Khushi so real.

Coming to shirtless part no complain though ๐Ÿ˜‰... but would have been better.
Previous time when she saw him shirtless... she felt uncomfortable and conscious a little. But now..she didn't show any reaction to it. Though as some people pointed out Khushi being comfortable with Arnav.. I am some how not able to buy on it. It was Arnav who was/is comfortable roaming around Khushi shirtless... in first instance also we saw that... but today I felt they were not able to catch that expression because Sanaya was on vacation. If you see clearly it was BD when ASR was standing in front of Khushi shirtless in one shot and in other she was there...so seems like rushed and not able to get that expression correctly.

Absolutely loved couch sharing...I prefer that daily. We have seen both Arnav love for Khushi and Khushi's care for Arnav in this episode which was amazing.

JW!!!!! My dear...what a fabulous recapture of today!! I loved the episode...i did!! I am not sure, how this will tie into the story but i approve of the execution. Nothing over the top, light and enjoyable and yet they brought in nuances which may look inconsequential at first but were big for their relationship.

  • Her concern for him when she wanted to know if he had burnt his hand was a reflex. We just need for her to delve more into that concern.
  • Him straightening her head in the middle of the night ---- aaah the tenderness!!
  • The frame in which they woke up (he first) was perfect in a meant-to-be kind of way.
  • Him walking out of the shower without a shirt and she wasn't conscious at all -- shows that they are getting comfortable with other in their space.
  • Her understanding what he was trying to say and mean at the dining table. It was light and yet very poignant IMO. It came so naturally to her --- again, she needs to take a moment and think why?!?
  • The final scene --- where she responds when he couldn't even hear himself!! His incredulous look at that...that was super. I just wished that she would get the same vibes in other matters of importance. The clues are all around her ... she just needs to think!

Truly, despite the flawed scripts and screenplay, these brilliant actors have managed to hold our "obsession"...they deserve the bulk of the credit ...

I have to say I am guilty of ROFLing at the "tachniqui kharaabi" comment!!!! But you are right, diabetes is not a condition to be joked about. It is the number 1 chronic condition in India.

As far as the bare barun look --- although I BISS about him --- his talent is MORE than enough for me to be his lifelooong fan -- as is for most people we know, right๐Ÿ˜‰!!! His exudes brilliance in every frame that he is in with his spot on and yet understated expressions that befit his character. And Sanaya matches his brilliance with a versatility that brings credibility to her character despite all the liberties that the writers take with Khushi.


Great post, my friend!

totally agree... Barun and Sanaya totally live Arnav and Khushi and they play them with such perfection.. in those 30 mins I keep forgetting who they are in real life and get soo immersed in their characters.. kudos to them for bringing ArHi to life.

totally agree with u on unnecessary shirtless scenes to appease a certain section of the audience, if they had to do it, show some effect it has on khushi who is in the same age category, then it will fit into the storyline...but i dont know how that shows that she is getting comfortable with him, i think she is very weak at head in that department, otherwise with the looks and concern arnav gives her..any female in this world would sense that he is totally in love with her. there is something called the female radar which goes on alert when any male shows extra interest in u...dont u agree ladies??

Hey thanks๐Ÿ˜ƒ
I just love both of them๐Ÿ˜ƒ
I was not bothered about the shirtless part...Barun is gorgeous and I would be a hypocrite if I say I dont find him sexy...
Its just the frequency with which these shots are appearing thats for me is somewhere taking the credit away from what he is even better at...his acting๐Ÿ˜ณ
Cheers!

Hey J!
Hats off to u for the excellent post!
Actually I was quite miffed strday with dat "cheeni nahi khathe " , sugar ki beemari , takneeki kharaabi etc dialogues...while strolling forum. I thought I was one of the very few who disliked dat scene...mmm, I do not want 2 nitpick the character but I definitely do not find anything funny in such dialogues...I know he made a dig at her financial status which was crass n he was painted monsterous for dat , which is true...but making fun of health status is not any better n it s definitely not funny n cute!!!!!
And OMG! the diary s here 2 stay...for pete's sake don giv amnesia 2 the leads for every 12 hours!
So TBH , I din't like first half xcept for few minutes!
Things I liked
1. The putting out fire scene, the comic timing of both leads cute
2. Fight for couch (though baseless!) n sleeping at funny angles...him adjusting her while being half asleep...lucky gal!
3. Him sleeping with his head tucked in her neck...I was craving for such scene...so shweet!
4. Family dat eats together and their banter
5. Kh interpreing his mann ki awaaz and his expressions
6. The last scene where the long lost dil ka connection was found...Hope both think abt it n realize
7. The dreamy chocolaty hotwa n understanding Kh!
p.s- May b as a phan gurl I shud hav enjoyed shirtless Barun, but I cud not...may b it was coz of the discontinuity but as u said I liked them getting used 2 each other n thanx 2 CVs for not making him a show off...And I for one, do not need shirtless Barun for drooling!Bravo for mentioning dat...His luks may attract towards him but it s the talent that keeps us glued...which applies 2 both leads
