<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">Having come to this show from IPKKND, I knew what Sanaya could do, and after that show went belly-up I swore never to get that..invested again, you know? I mean, Barun broke my heart. There, I said it. So with this one--I was back, but I never planned to be completely on the bandwagon of the guy AND the girl. I was dating and having a good time, but sure as hell not buying a ring.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">
But today's acting, its intensity...Ashish, I cold no longer keep up the pretense. My god. I'm not even talking about the potential of the Paro-Rudra chemistry..though..eekkk!!!! But just the face-off between him and Thakur! A true actor knows when to let his emotions, his junoon, his everything out, and when to keep it JUSSTTT under the surface.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">This episode had s much potential for overacting. And if he had done any of that..phir bhi chalta tha--it was a pretty strong scene that could have disguised some hamming. I can imagine how Shahrukh would have played it--so much scenery would have been chewed up all over the damn place, we'd have holes on the TV screen. But here is this guy, who's not that well known, who's done some smaller, or at least, less known things..and he was MASTERFUL. I literally watched the episode twice, the second time, consciously trying to keep my eyes off of him, look at the background, the colors, anything but him. And I couldn't.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">He was subtle, and yet, so damn clear with the shifting of his emotions..anger at Paro, shock at her village's betrayal, snide sarcasm at the Thakur, triumph at Aman's arrival, even pain for Paro's last, desperate pleas, So many things, within twenty superb minutes of acting.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">Big league acting, for a method actor with incredible magnetism and potential. Ashish Sharma. Naam to suna hoga. Aab pyar bhi kar lo.</font>
