Reemz, I have to agree with you here! Even though, the show in general has not caught my fancy, I think Jennifer is just perfect for the role of Kumud! She is in fact the USP of the show!

And for all those who are saying that she is not bubbly (I am assuming in some other thread)...the character of Kumud is supposed to be of a very high-minded, intellectual and serious girl. That is how the author of the novel had concieved her and that is how SLB has portrayed her! (Watch the movie SaraswatiChandra and notice Nutan's character...you will understand what I am trying to say!)

Jennifer not just has the physical attributes to play the role (except for the mindless styling that I think is the creative's doing!) but has that certain graceful and dignfiied look about her which makes her a sure shot hit for the role!

Personally speaking, I am sick and tired of seeing over-enthsiastic, chirpy heroines who talk nine to the dozen and generally act like they are 7 year olds...its very refreshing to see a real woman as the heroine!

I truly dislike the word 'bubbly'. I really don't like characters that are happy-all-the-time, OTT and just SO DAMN LOUD! ..Because they are unrealistic..and are there just for the sake of an angry young man to fall for them. I am so glad Kumud is not like that. Initially I thought she would be, but she's not, as we've seen in this past week 😊

I have nothing more to add because you have already said everything I wanted to, but its really surprising to see some criticizing Jen's acting ability when she is one of the very few actresses who can pull of ANY scene. She is so good that words fall short to describe her.. Kumud is like a breath of fresh air for me. She is different and Im loving her more and more with each episode!

Plus, there's a difference between being a 'bubbly' person, and being laid-back/happy-go-lucky. Zoya from QH is happy-g-lucky' & that is why I love her so much. Kumud is mature and practical..and I'm sure I'll love watching her more and more as the show progresses!

hey reemz...nice post..am actually loving this show up till now... even though there are certain things which mis matches with the plot..but its different and good to watch

You are so right Reema .Exactly my point. Why can't people get out of their confines and see the world as it is?! Kumud has her own identity and a very strong one. She is very strong headed with high morals, pride and self respect. She is intelligent, practical and yes mature! What is wrong in being mature?! Like I don't understand. Why does she have to act like a goofball to look innocent when she can do that with just one look? Hailing from a village she is no less infact far more confident than many city bred girls. The kind of confidence that comes with wisdom. She truly is a woman of substance. And enough on her clothes already. The team of SC have worked for almost 2 years to get everything together, casting costumes etc you think they will not pay attention to the lead's clothes? She has a perfect toned body and the clothes look very good on her.She is the lead in the show and hence was given a look different from Kusum and Kumari. So?

@Reemz, the novel is set in 18th century Gujrat...so for that time and period, the author had actually made Kumud to be a progressive woman! (I have read the English translation of the Novel...its considered to be a masterpiece in Gujrati Literature)...She is educated (which in itself is a surprise, because girls in general were not educated at that time), cultured and quite bold for that time...that is why she exchanges letters with her bethored and even meets him before marriage...now in 18th century middle-India, that would have been an unthinkable thing to do!

Awesome post!
