I agree with u 100%! I have been trying so hard to like JW as Kumud, have really not seen any of her previous shows, but still I feel that she is misfit for Kumud. As, someone said, I can her playing as a modern woman, but nope this is really not working with me...:((..On the show as a whole, with all the buzz that was created, it failed to impress me atleast apart from the grandeur, and the beautiful sets...JW as Kumud is not connecting with me at all, and if the lead actor itself isn't connecting with me, I find it hard to watch the show...I like Monica Bedi, she really did surprise with her talent as an actor, and Saras's father too. These two are the only ones I can say that I really think are able to act naturally. JW's emotional scenes as Kumud is a total turn off with me. She really sounds fake for some reason. Well, atleast I tried this show for 2 weeks, am not sure if I will regularly follow it in the future, maybe occasionally.
