@TheMockingBird she really was pretty good in madhubala as much as I have watched,like I remember the scene where RK and madhu got drunk in one of the episodes following RK's dhokha of love to madhu and the drunk scenes were supposed to be a combination of comedy as well as emotional stuff and she nailed both.There are of course other scenes too,I don't think madhubala raised her voice many times while giving it back to RK but her strength was clear in her eyes and voice modulation.I love her in the scenes where she has to display the emotional strength of her character or stand up for herself,like that scene when geet stood up to her elder cousin and entire family for doing what they did to her.I don't like her comedy many times either and prefer her performance as madhubala to that as geet because latter had more comedy.DD in emotional scenes>>comedy for me too.

OT : I too don't like her much as nandini,there are few scenes she has done well in but they are too few IMO.May be she has become a bit complacent because she is an established name?It really has been a below average performance IMO.

The look she is given is because of the stylist and not her but she certainly seems to like it too,does it never cross her mind that may be nandini shouldn't be so decked up all the time?Nobody from the team seems to think about it,comes across as pretty superficial.

This is my first time watching all four actors and I think that they are all giving full justification to their roles. I think its all perception but the little bit that I understand Nandini is all because of DD expressions and the director who is nailing the scenes as there are no dialogues.

For example, the scene in the room after they return from the temple where she has realized her feelings for her bf's husband, the aftermath of the bridge scene where she punishes herself, the aftermath of the abuse scenes were one of the best (I actually had goosebumps looking at her), the confession, the aftermath of the woman blackening her face where she tell Kunal "hum ghande hain" was amazing, her interaction with Mauli last week where she is twiddling between love and friendship where she knows she should give in but does not want to, the shock, the helplessness that she cannot give in to her friend's request where she starts going backwards was nailed by her, her rejection scene with Kunal where "Ha bas khatam" with that angry look and then the breakdown inside the room was done very well. Even the kidnapping scene where she went from fear for her life to anger at Rajdeep, to accepting that sacrifice is the way to go but at the last moment not ready to give Rajdeep the satisfaction was done perfectly. Also, in the aftermath, her being firm but still breaking up inside, trying to suppress the tears when she is telling Kunal to go was done accurately. IMO. her character can be questioned but not her acting .

Frankly, at this moment I cannot see any actress doing justification to Nandini, DD has nailed her and I can only see her as Nandini. I think in-spite of the popular opinion, this show is actually stretching her acting skills with the abuse scenes. Also, as an actor if a scene call for sadness only, breakdown only or happiness only, its very easy to do but going back between guilt for her friend and happiness that your love is standing up for you and will be yours and sadness that friendship is broken within that one scene itself is very difficult and DD is doing it. May be that's the reason for the confusion that came across on the screen. If anyone is to blame here, it is the write-up of the scenes, the character's changing reaction to the situation or the tracks which keep going in circles.

As far as the style icon thing is concerned, Nandini is a character who likes to dress up since the beginning. That's how Mauli had described and I guess they are just following it.

PS: I have only written about DD because that's what the topic is about because I know and agree that other actors have also done full justice to their role. Also, there is this one scene which I watched on youtube because someone ask me to see it and its one of the most beautiful scenes of ITV. The moment Geet realizes her love for Maan. DD has done it so beautifully and the shot done by the director is really praiseworthy,
