Hi Supriya,😊
Great idea for a discussion. 👍🏼
Ankita would be amazing on the big screen.
She is a very talented, natural actress.
Like you said, she's gorgeous (looks), she has great screen presence, she becomes the character (as all talented actors do), and she is a very graceful dancer (something that is required if you want to be a successful actress in Bollywood).
I agree with all the scenes you listed.
Others in which I think she was amazing are:
*When Manav returned after being away for a month (just after the miscarriage), when they met at the temple.
*When Savita and Sulochana convinced her to stop going out looking for Manav daily, when he left after the miscarriage.
The way she slowly fell down the length of Sulochana's body and just collapsed at her feet...superb acting.
I felt for her.
Her expressions during this period in the show were amazing.
*When Arman were put out of their home immediately after they "married" by the lake (when they ended up not marrying Jaywant and Shravani).
One of Manav's friends from his time in jail offered them his home in a chawl.
Manav had been missing from work and Archana had gone looking for him.
Manav was also looking for Archana.
When he finally arrived home, he found Archana there, safe, and his friend with her to protect her.
The scene that followed between Arman was so emotional. Fantastic acting by both.
There are so many more, but will leave it at that for now.
