You know? I like how you came up and said something negative about an actor without actually bashing the person, unlike so many others. But, on the hindside, I so completely disagree with everything you have said in your post.
I am not an AK fan. I never was. Didnt see her in MJHT, and I only saw a couple of scenes here an there, very recently. But at the same time, if we are watching the same show, then I am sure I see a girl who portrays purity and simplicity so well. Her eyes speaks volumes, and the innocence it portrays is even more evident. If you did see today's episode, you will realise that her acting skills is above par for a very new comer, who's first show is tere liye - a show of huge hype and of great expectations.
Her nervousness and shyness, as well as happiness and relief upon realising it was her Anurag that she was speaking to touched my heart. There was so much tension and so much relief at the same time. When she was with mauli, I almost saw myself in her. I saw a girl who is excited to share the biggest happiness she got with her friend. A girl who was bubbling up with emotions, trying to say one word over another over the other to just say all she wants as fast as she could. If you say this is eatign up her dialogues, then no, it is for me the thrill of getting what you waited for so long.
She is such a talented actress, and really, I dont think we have to give her time, because she needs none. She is so good by herself, that really, I doubt anyone knew she could be this good. I myself thought nothing of her, but she is above par!
AK for me is great, but I do respect your POV. Just getting across mine! 😃
