She has to be more comfortable I guess in such scenes...

In their closeness waale scenes, steam is only coming out of one engine, the other one even refuses to start for now... 🤣

She is trying to be the cold hearted biatch for now but still she has to pick up pace with Shaurya Khanna soon... Their level of dedication for the role is way apart yet...

Auditi - looks like we have more fundamental issues now; of engine starting and one not even stuttering 🤣 🤣

SK is a tiger, a cat, with good adam's apple and mole who was faking it, not faking it and has now become a steam engine!

Gosh! Hilarious! 🤣 🤣

@Artist, you raised pertinent points in this post.

1. Shaurya Khanna as a character. If I forget for a moment, the good looking actor who essays it, the character in itself is a masterstroke for indian telly, I think.

Strong boy - yes he is, Flawed - yes, he is. But, the feminist streak in him is a class apart. It would have been all very well for the FL to go bleating about feminism, KC, this that. But when the ML takes up such issues and is non judgemental, then that for me is breaking stereotypes.

ZKM has done to MLs what has never been seen before on television. A ML who encourages FL to work - that she does not need to be married to have an identity! Who says that on TV!

And that's when I fell in love with the character SK. Powerful hai, boss - a heady turn on. If he was just good looking, like all the other MLs in other shows, it would not have cut ice.

2. Interesting, that you should bring up - Bade Bhaiya ki Dulhania. In my office, none of us follow indian GECs ( you know how it is). Zindagi as a channel found traction and Sumit Sambhal lega had takers. But this show Bade Bhaiya too had takers and there was strong advocacy to follw this too. Precisely for the reasons mentioned. But this again, shows that it catered to a niche taste ( us - non GEC crowd) and did not win mass approval. Show is off air now, I believe. Have no idea of the concept of naagin.

3. Movies - Leela - do you mean the Sunny Leone one?

Ladka jaise bhi ho shaadi karni hai adage is so true. For that matter, I liked Love Aaj Kal - progressive it was. But then again, even in movies like cocktail, the guy sleeps with the'bad' girl but wants the 'good' girl for his wife! Kuch kuch is another example (late 90's though) - Put kajal in a sari and lo behold! the guy falls for her. What was wrong with her in Tees?

Finally, muddhe pe aati hu

SK losing his cool and lashing out is an interesting possibility. But right now, the character graph of SK has veered to another extreme. He is this calm, docile, patient guy with no tinge of anger and somehow the focus is off, Mehak. KD's prophesy sounded more sinister like how she could be used as a pawn to bring about SK's downfall, more so coz SK's defences are down with her.

Phew! a long post.

Thilss, I understand the track and that has limitations currently, with regard to what am citing here.

But am talking of her expressions - she comes off as wooden to me. But i see your point too.

That she just has not had the time.

And what spoilt brat! Nah, all of us are in the same boat - we are real and not some myths in the cauldron of history cloaked from head to toe in veil of sanskaar! (phew.. long sentence 😛)
