OMFG Can you get any more bad than me? Here I was defending the new actress. Singing her praises. Praying that she never leaves the SNS Set till the day the show closes...

And yet I had never watched a single scene of SNS for over a week before she even arrived on the scene! Ergo. I had never watched a single Dev scene or GoHam scene or family scene or any bloody scene with her in it.

How stupid can you be? Who on god's precious given earth would defend something they actually had no knowledge about. Despite criticism after criticism leveled against her I still defended her honor.

Well no more! I cannot continue with this lie! This deception! This outrageous bending of the truth.

Devoleena I apologise for what I am about to say... but I cannot help it.

You were bloody brilliant! Well ok maybe I am exaggerating. But bloody hell girl you are doing an amazing job!

Yes folks I did it tonight. I watched the scenes that were trashed left right and centre. I watched the new girl who was being lambasted from pillar to post. And I watched her totally objectively. I forced myself to be critical when I watched. Looking out for the faults and flaws pointed out by the rest... Yes they were there. But it seems like faults and flaws were magnified a thousand times to make things seem worse than they were.

She is by no means perfect. But bloody hell give her a few more episodes and she will be coasting it! erm... I am not sure who felt that Aham was not comfortable with her. He totally bloody was! Look at the scenes. Look at them with again... and see what I mean.

She brings something totally different to Gopi. Something better. And given time I am positive that audiences the world over will take her as their own. She has it... and boy is she going to prove it!

One criticism though... Her voice/accent needs working on. I am sure she and the SNS crew are already on that though... And the more she speaks the easier it will get. Crying needs a bit of work. I used to hate it Gopi bahu crying scenes. But Dev's crying is a lot more realistic... and believable. I don't want to cringe anymore.

So yes. Dev is sure to make a place in my heart... and that of millions of other SNS viewers.

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Time will tell...
But for this guy it is a TWO THUMBS UP FOR DEVOLEENA BHATTACHARJEE!

Its the bengali accent which does not suit gopi s character otherwise i am fine. I even found the love making scenes really passionante. The gal was way too much into it 😛. also the way she moulded herself into his chest . The body language and comfort level with nazim is good and today when rucha was applying oil to her feet even there rucha was comfortable. She gels in the cast just fine... Can i be wicked and go on???.

I spoke to my friend yesterday and she's also been watching SNS since the beginning, along with her mother. She's not part of the forum so it was a surprise for them when Dev came but she told me that she accepted Dev as Gopi and found her portrayal true to the role.
Her mum was a little confused at first but a couple of episodes in she has accepted her as Gopi!!
@Shaun!! So now you've finally seen her in action!! She has done really well in her acting especially as the role of Gopi has been so linked with Giaa. I thik she has good screen presence and is making good chemistry with the other actors. She hasn't had much to do with the others apart from Nazim yet but hopefully we'll see her blossom in the upcoming weeks.

Awww shaun what a fantastic piece of writing .👏⭐️

It's a total thaaliyan and seetiyan post 👏🥳

and @red in you post -

u said u defended her left...right center without watching any of her scene..so it is ur faith,..ur belief..ur conviction...ur vishwas and ur bharosa which won in the end🥳


this is like playing blind in Poker😃 and after watching the cards (i mean her scenes) you are winner all through 🥳don't u feel awesome...

her tears are more realistic... her voice is so nice ..but as u said the accent needs to be worked on .. her eyes...haila ..she is so damn expressive...few weeks down the lane her eyes will do the wonders😳


i love her acting,.she brought the much needed change or freshness in gopi's character..and yeah the hug where she breaks down after the holi revelation is mind blowing👏⭐️

her height matches Ahem... she is in all ways the best replacement for Gia👏
⭐️
love Devoleena😃

😆 I have also not watched an epi yet however I have not commented on her acting skills yet just told people to give her a chance if they can bring themselves to do it. But now I am more and more convinced that she is doing a good job, so thanks shaun for clearing my last doubts about her 😃

Shaun, you're back! We're famous yaar! People posted threads dedicated to us. Sure, it contained lots of false allegations, but it's the thought that counts 😳

I agree with you. Devoleena rocks! I'm glad they found this gem 😊
She's not Gia, and she's not meant to turn into Gia. Devo is doing great as Gopi and is bringing something new to the table: a new kind of grace, a new kind of confidence, and a more simplistic and realistic image.

I can see what you mean by the voice aspect. She speaks too slowly sometimes but I love her voice and the fact that she pronounces her husband's name as "A-hem ji" instead of "Emm ji" and refers to her cousin as "Rashi be-hein" and not "Rashi benn". Not only as the crying improved, but we don't see the "Where am I? How did I get here?" confused expressions anymore.

She has the talent to carry this role, and she meshes well with the cast, especially Ahem and Rashi (I'll admit that she needs a little more time with Kokila). If the storyline stays strong and everyone gives ther 100%, this show will continue to be amazing 😊

@vibz: I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this: I even found the love making scenes really passionante. The gal was way too much into it 😛.
Gopi is all grown up now 😭

I agree...the change brought in gopi's character is so refreshing...I love Dev's crying..except for holi confession scene..she does not break down at the drop of a hat..but her eyes fill up with pain...like today when she walked away from Gohem room...May be the scenes written now bet gohem are much more passionate but I find gohem chemistry really sizzling now..they match each other very well and complement each other...gohem story has matured and I am loving it.
