Is it only me or has anyone else also noticed that Prachi is simply not Bani these days! Her performance is so lackluster and totally flat on the face......You just cannot emphathize with Bani's pain and her suffering at all and as far as I can see, it has more to do with the way Prachi is performing than any real problem with Bani's character! Also, I think the Creatives are goofing up somewhere, if Prachi is not able to perform upto the mark, it is their call to keep reshooting till she gives a perfect shot! If they can make her do more than 20 retakes for a Love-making scene, which did not require much emoting for her (I mean all she had to do was stand and let be kissed by the God of Kissing😆) then why aren't they paying attention to her performance these days, when the audience has to feel more sympathetic to Bani's character, considering she has just underwent the biggest shock of her life, almost died and saw her husband dying, then got the news of her unexpected pregnancy, left the man whom she loved, heard about him being greviously injured and then dead, getting to know that he was alive and fine......But going by Prachi's expression's and performance these days, I can only see the same standard expression's on her face...Her reaction to Jai, Pushkar, Jigyasa, Pia and Rano is all the same!😕
The last really good performance by Prachi was in the scene where she gets to know about her Pregnancy through Jigyasa and then Jai tries to talk to her.....After that it seems like something has snapped in Prachi and she is just about as fizzy as a bottle of Coke left open for a week!
This is really surprising and very disappointing considering that Prachi is an incredible and powerhouse performer who has held episodes after episodes purely on the basis of her acting alone, without Ram around to support her! Alright, she has had her share of bad days also, but they were only when she did not have that important a role to play or she was mostly relegated to the background.....But now the entire focus of Kasamh Se is on Jai and Bani...and while Ram gives a mind-blowing performance day after day, Prachi seems to be sinking somewhere! Even yesterday, when Bani is shown to be listening to Jai over the phone, Ram was excellent in the scene, while Prachi looked as if she was listening to her Grocer telling her all that she has ordered from his store!😆 Seriously, I found her totally expressionless and zapped!
Just wondering if it is Ram who brings out the best in Prachi and whenever he is not around, as in when Ram and Prachi don't have scenes together, she seems to fizzle out and appear to be pretty ordinary and lackluster? Come to think of it, all of Prachi's best scenes have been the one with Ram, where she has given a stellar performance! I can count innumerous ones.....but if I had to pick up a couple of scenes where Prachi is either with any other character or she is alone, I would have to really rack my brain!😆 I don't think Ram has any such problem, his performance on its own is very good, with or without Prachi or anyone else around! Infact, some of Ram's best scenes have been the one where he is shown alone and is in an introspection mood or in a conversation with himself!
Either she is sorely missing Ram on the Sets (Correct me if I am wrong, she had mentioned in an interview, that she finds it very boring on the sets of KS, when the "Main Actors" are not around, the only main actor with whom Prachi has her scenes is Ram) or she went back to Surat on her 2 day vacation and fell in love with some Gujju Boy and is not able to concentrate on her work now!😆
Whatever the reason is, I just hope she bucks up and gets back to track! It is so strange to see an emotionaless and vacant Bani staring at the space and telling herself that she Loves and Hates Jai in the same breath.....It just seems that she cares two hoots for him, as per her bland expression's!🤢 Prachi is the mainstay of Kasamh Se, the soul of the Soap along with Ram, if she stops performing upto her earlier standards, then even Ram's performance will be affected because Jai's character comes out only because of Bani's.....They are totally interlinked and woven into one another.....You just cannot see Jai as a different entity from Bani!
Hope my views weren't too controversial, in no way was this intended to criticize Prachi as a person or as an actor! I just wanted to share my observation with you guys and would love to read your views and comments on it! Since most of you must have watched the Video's of the recent episodes, do you also think that Prachi is not performing upto the mark, or is it just that Bani's character is shown to be in a state of numb daze?
Cheers,
