but wen she ws give a choice, she choose jhalak over SNS... it is completely her choice and her life... so quitting was her conscious decision... and nw she is happy dancing and moved on with her life...
then Y we are hanging here and crying that we want Gaia back?!!!!

it's been just a month for dev!!!! she s trying her best.we shud appreciate that... and encourage that poor lass rather than harrassing and bashing her... here some comments wer very painful...i truely dont think u guys think she is a national enemy or something... so plz be nice to fellow human beings!!!😔


Yes, gopi is not an 'out if world kinda character', no one has said that. Other people can play her too. But for me, Devoleena is not that person. I have seen some of her scenes, even her recent ones but she has such poor dialogue delivery that I just fast forward it as it irritates me. It has been a month now, so we can't even say its due to nerves. I also feel that the other actors are having to make up for what she lacks. She is lucky that she is working with some fantastic actors such as Rupal.


With regards to this post, the director can only do so much to help Devoleena.


By criticising her does not mean we are bashing her. As an actor you know you will be criticised and you have to be ready to take it on the chin.

i guess anna, sandyuk and sandy 914 and me have always said that we have no personal grudge against Dev at all ...

what we are trying to say is that the character of Gopi, though looks very simple and easy ... but to play her aptly shows the caliber of the actor ... we arent bashing Dev at all ... what we are saying is that we dont relate to her as Gopi at all .. Weneva we see her as Gopi something seems to be missing .. the way she delivers her dialogue, it seems that she is merely reciting the lines given to her ... Dev is just copying Giaa or mb the directors of the show are telling her to do it that way ... but for the viewers of SNS who have seen Giaa act as Gopi for 2.5years will definitely compare her to Giaa ... and when you replace any actor in the show comparisons are bound to happen and none can escape that ...

Dev lacks her acting capabilities to play Gopi o/w she is pretty fine ... i did see few of her off screen seg, she seems to be a vibrant person and is very comfy like that .. i did see few of her scenes in her past show on imagine channel ... her character there was an out going one, and she looked adorable in that character ... But a shy, timid, coy and patient and simple et ol characters arent meant for her ...

actors on the sets are aware of her lankiness and are putting their best foot forward to attract the audience and keep them glued to the show as before, bu they are failing ... and the TRPs of the show are doing the talking ...


this is out of the thread answer i agree, but was clearing @iliketv's doubt...

Madam/Sir -- This is not about Gia/Dev. This is about SNS. We are discussing the Dev acting.
Is it natuarl to compare the two different artist (that has played over two years) and express the differences.
Continue to watch the serial is viewers decision and you/i cannot suggest/force it. TRP will speak for itself.

Sns is no where in the list now a days.. Sns is about gopi and rashi.. Always cv's always concentrated on kalakaries about rashi.. But they made it like it us all about gopi, they have never concentrate on others.. But now gopi is missing in show.. Dev might not about gopi.. But we viewer know gopi in and out.. How she behaves, handles, confident enough in her world, caring, loving, gets angry.. That is the reason we don't accept dev as gopi.. She has nothing new about gopi, I feel she only thinks gopi is silent and tears but gopi is very far from those things she is unquie.. I don't know what director or cv's trying to do, how they are explaining things to dev about gopi.. It completely failed from all the ends from dev, creatives, director.

I think the story is the strongest it can be. We all wanted ahem to miss gopi but unfortunately now gohem scenes don't mean much so we should not blame the director. I gave dev time to connect to but unfortunately she is a misfit in the role of gopi. If they want to try another replacement with more acting skills I will be most willing to give her a chance too but as of now dev as gopi is not for me.

This is not to bash dev but an honest opinion of someone who was totally addicted to sns. I must have watched Holi episode at least 20 times.

And whilst were on the subject of who should be blamed, I think the CV's have helped Devoleena a lot just by reducing the amount of words she has to say. I think they too know that her delivery is not very good.

I agree there are many things where she is lacking. All Im saying is the CV's have tried to help her in one area 😃 And even some of the scenes that she is in the camera angle is not directly on her expressionless face, so the cameraman is trying to help her too. And the editing man has kept her scenes to a minimum making sure focus is primarily on the other characters who are a part of that scene.

I agree with you sandy. nice analysis. See, she is the main lead. How long all people can help her? One day she has to act? isn't it. I can only blame PH for hiring her. they took a decision in a hurry. After all why we watch the serials? after a long day's work, we want to sit for sometime, watch some serials in TV, to get relax, Instead of getting haapy feeling. we are getting vise versa.
