Ayesha has shown tremendous growth in the character of Sai.. Initially seeing the promos, I did not like her an believed the other lead would take away all the accolades, if at all the show gets the fame.. And I had serious issues with her screen presence and dialogues in the beginning of the show. I would always think why would they pair her against a veteran like Neil. But then she proved me wrong and HOWπ
The first time I noticed her and appreciated her was during Sai's Aaba's death..Man she was fabulous in those emotional scenes . She could make me feel Sai's pain.. I have lost my father recently and I would cry seeing those scenes like crazy.. It was difficult to see them and not cry.. She stood with Neil in every single scene.. Her cries, her breakdown..everything..everything was so so heart wrenching..
Ofcourse she has been backed up by a good character, but she is not a TRP Bahu..Thats why she was not hailed by the channel initially.. There are scenes of Sai, where I would think oh God she is going over board and creating a scene, but I had no issues of her portrayal..
You have to see that scene of hers, where when in Virat's room for the first time she sits on his knees with her AAba's frame in her hands..on her heart, "O Re chiddaiya" playing and looks at the whole room with trepidation.. with anxiety, with cluelessness.. So much in those few seconds...Any girl who has her parents alive, feels all these feelings when she first enters her husband's room.. And here was a girl who had lost her only family, her AAba , treated badly at the entrance of her Sasural and was in an alien room..with nothing to look forwards to.. Dare you not cry in that scene..
Then again I have had issues with her dialogue delivery, but have also loved it when she stands for something.. There is certain degree of strength and weightage in the tone she delivers it with..Specially when she talks about her Aaba, or talks about women In Shivani-AMey issue..
She does get that Delhi accent when she calls Kiya as Kara, a lot of actors do that.. or she says Virat Sir aap mujhe ye de do(mostly used in delhi), and sometimes goes with Aap mujhe de dijiye(the basic language is this one..) Sometimes calls Chavhan as Chauhan...
She has improved leaps and bounds when it comes to her dialogue delivery..Her confrontational scenes with Neil has been always my favourite.. Be it the episode after Amey's arrest or the episode after Ladakh cancellations.. Those scenes were emotionally taxing.. Both had to show , so much hurt, angst, pain, craving for each others love , attention and she stood there equally with Neil.. Ofcourse she has also learnt a lot from Neil, like she keeps saying, but then its the individual effort and will to learn and excel is what matters..
Neil has outplayed her in many scenes..and rightly so.. But she has as well..One scene where I believed she outplayed him was during the GC confrontation, where she goes back to the room and breaks down..Man that again was heart wrenching.. But then I think of it, Sai sitting in that vidai Saree, in alien room, looking all scared, holding her Aaba's frame and crying, was her best till date.. It felt like that girl needed a hug of assurance for what all she had gone through..and credit is for Ayesha to take for bringing in that innocence and vulnerability in 'the Sai' who we have seen to be very strong always..
Well today's episode was actually a light hearted one and I always enjoy Sai's and Bhavani's banters when they are not interrupted by her stooges and Patralekha .. They share a natural chemistry.. Kishori mam and Ayesha take a lot of credit for keeping the show in top 5 even during Neil's absence for almost two weeks.. I wish to see her more.. The scene looks natural and fun..
I also love the chemistry that Karishma and Sonali share.. Its fun.. to watch..They both are again good actors.. It was good to see them having more dialogues than weakest link of the show..
Sai is loveable by the TRP aunties , because of Ayesha as well.. SHe has brought life in her.. They chose her just a week before getting the show on floor, while the other two were already selected..What a surprise package she has been..
PS: Ignore the mistakes, I am in a hurry, work calls..
