You are right, almost all her characters have had that suppressed girl hidden somewhere in it, but she has also played diametrically opposite roles in the same show as well. And its never been the same in each show.
In Jyoti she played the very suppressed and introverted Sudha who is so bogged down by her childhood trauma and bad treatment by her family (with the exception of her sister) that she starts to suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder and wakes up as the ultra-glam and bold Devika. Regretfully I was only able to watch very few of her scenes in Jyoti but all the scenes of Sudha turning into Devika and vice-versa were amazing and at the same time creepy to watch! Sudha/Devika was just mindblowing and its still considered one of her best performances in her career.
In Rakt Sambandh, Sandhya was only helpless because of the fact that she was blind and her husband and in-laws just shamelessly exploited her disability. But of course all those who saw her transformation after she gets her eyesight back, will never forget her tapori character, Vrinda in it đ! She was awesome and actually showed a great flair for comedy đ. It remains to date my most favorite character of Sriti's so far âď¸!
The less said about Saubhagyavati Bhava the better, the PH/CVs completely destroyed Jhanvi/Sia's characterization just for the sake of glorifying evil đ¤˘. Will never forgive them for messing up such a powerful character with so much potential đ¤Ź. But as always she did complete justice to her role and did a brilliant job, especially as Jhanvi which has to be her one performance which ended up being emotionally draining even for the audience seeing her plight đ.
Honestly I had so much of hope for Ganga, especially with that explosive entry of hers in BV but again unfortunately the CVs did an about-turn and turned her into another abla nari đĄ!
But we have to admit, she has a knack for being so realistic in her performances that it appears so natural and convincing as if she is really suffering that we automatically start to feel for her.
But I hope she takes up something more positive and uplifting next or else she will risk getting typecast. Even as a fan I must confess somewhere even I'm getting fed up of these deja vu roles and tracks đ.
