Karan is FABULOUS in emotional scenes, his EYES!! They narrate an entire book of emotions, and I can read it all, and it's just so romantic and I'd fall in love with them! If I was an actress acting opposite KSG, with him in all his gorgeousness, looking at me like that! Even if my rational mind says that it's all acting, I'd still fall for him in that moment! I mean, lets be honest, which woman with a heart wouldn't after looking into those eyes? I sometimes feel sorry for Surbhi, the guy is sooo charming! Plus his good looks and fabulous acting, it looks like Karan is in love with Zoya, not just Asad.
I read somewhere that Karan takes a lot of time to get out of Asad's character, and usually his wife is understanding about that. But once in a while she tells him to to just snap out of it. Do you know what this means? This means that Karan actually LIVES the character of Asad while he shoots. Do you know that there are VERY few actors who commit themselves to their characters so much that they BECOME the character. Very few of them are this committed, one of them being Daniel Day Lewis, who just won the Oscars for best actor for the second freaking time. He said in one of his interviews "My wife has lived with some strange men for the past sixteen years." ...
Karan is the only other actor that I've heard saying this of. So when he's acting like he's in love with Zoya, I think Karan is actually in love with Zoya, not Surbhi the actress, but Zoya the character. Whereas for normal actors like Surbhi (she's amazing too, but doesn't internalize it like Karan) it's just an emotional scene. Karan actually feels it, which is why we feel his pain, his angst, his love through his eyes. I think bichare ko time bahaut lagta hai, to switch that on and off, which is why he's struggled after every "cut" in a romantic scene. Notice it in the behind the scenes clip of the "bhaang wala dimple scene" on the Kabhi appreciation thread. It's very evident that Karan is an actor who internalizes everything. While this makes for great performances and happy producers, directors and fans. I think Karan actually suffers every time he has switch his reality. I think this is also the reason why he falls for people that he acts with, it's psychologically natural for actors like him. It's very difficult and would take a lot of mind training to switch it on and off soo quickly, and Karan hasn't mastered it because he hasn't been doing this for too long. I am not justifying any of his past actions, but just saying that this behavior actually makes sense for an actor like him who internalizes everything.
*Disclaimer, this is my personal opinion, I might be totally off. Please don't bash actors or their relationships with what I just said here. Let's not make this thread a battle ground for fan camp wars. I have no intention of starting one of those! Let's see how many of you truly understand why I am trying to say here and for how long this thread remains kosher. More discussion on the topic is surely welcome!
