Let's just get that in to our brains, Kumud is NOT bubbly. She does not phudak around, she does not talk non-stop, she does not get herself in to all sort of messes and nor does she make clumsy mistakes. She is a level-headed & practical young woman, quite proudy with her nose slightly up in the air but all in good innocence but above of all she has this serenity and almost mysterious feel to her. She talks with power in her voice, she demands respect...not for petty arguments but because she values her and her family's respect highly.
Jennifer is not just any actress on the block, she has been in the industry for many years from a very young age and if there is any one from the leading actresses on TV who understands the nuances of the character, it's her. How anyone can question her ability is beyond me because this girl acts with such an oomph. Do you not see the pierced eyes when she plays the hurt Kumud? Do you not see the spark when she's in a mischevious mood? Do you not feel WOW when she speaks with a commanding voice.
I have probably seen more layers in Kumud's character in this one week than I have seen in a protagonist of 500 episodes. Please stop insulting the sketch of the character by putting her down as a 'bubbly' character because she really is not. She has a sense of childlike mischievousness but she is a grown woman with a curious charm.
Chilll yaar... The more you defend her , more you make critics skeptical.. let her and her work speak for herself .. defense works not in her favor.. the only and best way to change others opinion or garner that respect is if her work speaks for it.. and no not by relying on past laurels ..
Yes you are right abt the character.. she ain't bubbly .. she is different .. but personal view .. and i would say jenny nails the attitude part of it .. but then as an actor one needs to think about a lot of things .. a lot ..I for instance don't connect her with the entire household or the character sketch that she is from ratnagiri.. to me she is mumbai born and bought , a woman of grace .. now those are nuances..
But i wouldn't blame her much .. every single cast has dissapointed me so far.. even gautam ( the luck actor fo rhim being, he is supposed to be a closed book so he will get away with a lot of things) ..
Anyhow to sum it up.. she has been there in the industry for ages ..the only other work that i have seen i didn;t enjoy her.. but then she wasn't the original in that series..
She is one beautiful, graceful woman .. and i am sure she will do justice to her role.. but one man i really want to take all of these discussions on IF seriously is the director .. they need to be very very very meticulous .. and the writing department ..
