To be very honest, I was apprehensive initially about Aamna being previous Komolika's replacement. I had even declared based upon the precap/promos that she has a disaster written all over.
But Aamna has proved me wrong and I'm so glad about it... The way she has sunk into the depth of the character has me amazed. Her mannerism doesn't come off as OTT, her one-liners are bang on and Aamna's biggest USP is that she doesn't make weird faces, nor resorts to rather hasn't yet resorted to inane idiosyncrasies to give villainous vibes.
I won't say she is still at par with original Komolika because Urvasi as Komolika was unprecedented-a class apart. But I can confidently say that no one could have stepped into Hina's shoes better than her. The previous Komolika looked elder than Anurag but with Aamna i don't see much of the age difference between Anulika ( Strictly my POV, not intended to age-shame and has no hidden agenda thereof) . So here is also a big round of applause to Aamna her for maintaining herself so well.
Well being Aamna fan even I found the promos and initial scenes as a disaster and was disappointed for the role choice Aamna made.
But I'm very happy she proved me completely wrong and now nailing it.
It is very courageous of her that even after so many comparisons she is making a mark.
Her laughter is also properly evil!
