Hi, this is a two topic post, hence the title. Firstly, Kumud's wardrobe and hair...what the heck is going on? I know that she is married now so her style has to change but please don't turn it into a typical bahu serial wardrobe where she wears a sari all the time with full make-up even when she's sleeping lol!
I know she is more traditional so her clothing will be more conservative so no western dresses etc. but hopefully they can show her wearing suits and other indian style clothing without draping her in a sari all the time, a little variety to show some different sides, maybe some of her ratanigri (not sure the spelling sorry) roots.
Now we come to the hair, what is with the bun? It makes her look much too old and actually doesn't look good on her. I know she can't wear it in a braid like before marriage but I loved the way her hair framed her face, her bangs; Maybe even tie it into the serial that when her hair gets in her face, she has a flashback of Saras gently taking it away from her face. I am sure the hair stylists can come up with something that allows us to see her long hair but done in a tasteful way in keeping with her traditions but not like old school style. I find her makeup better since the last month or so and Jennifer is a beautiful lady so hopefully they can get it all together in a complete package.
Saras's character has always dressed fairly well so that's fine but I am finding the longer hair on him makes him look a little rougher which is good, not so baby-faced.
Now onto the acting. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised and impressed with the acting talents of both main leads, especially seeing the progress from the beginning of the series. Jennifer was always a strong actress and lately has even taken it to another level with the pain of the break-up etc. The chemistry between Samud could also be seen growing and getting more intense and that was a result of both actors getting more comfortable with the characters and acting better hence resulting in a great on-screen chemistry.
It is Gautum who I am most impressed by. Its a night and day difference since his acting from the beginning which was a little wooden, a little unsure but now, especially the last few weeks and the last episode, the pain, anguish, hurt shown by him, his eyes, his expressions have been amazing. He has grown more confident with the character and is now realizing his full potential. We have seen sides of him, happy, serious, a little comedic but this drama lately has brought out the best in him. He is starting to get that brooding intensity in his eyes that people like, the naivete of youth seems to be passing from him turning more into a man.
There has been a vacant throne in TV serials (since a certain male lead and his show were done about 7 months ago which I am not allowed to mention here) and I can see Gautum filling that void as the heir apparent.
