Only One!! - Page 3

Wrong post - don't know how to delete it!

Agreed, so many good looking faces out there but there’s only a few that appeal to us because they bring an added charm to their entire personality. Sai is one of those people - charming all of us with his acting chops.

You are not alone, the face is an added bonus!! ☺️And of course the body too but for all of us its about performance first!! We have seen plenty of good looking men with great bodies but what gets us raving is one eye!! 🤪

What a fine actor ..pure hard-work .. he has come a long way …. owns the screen like fire 🔥 👏 Crossed the age for drooling over an actor but if it sounds like drooling so be it .. I don’t mind 🤪

can’t stop myself from appreciating this boy who is pure bliss to watch onscreen ..comedy, anger ,sadness , romance (so clean ) and today emoting with one eye .. I’m floored .. he totally deserves all the appreciation in the world .. respect ..

Superbly written ..❤️ I’m now a sucker of your posts

The guy must be on cloud nine, he is getting plenty of accolades for his performance today, hope he still stays grounded and works even harder.

I started watching this show in the lockdown and got intrigued because a person from the southern part of India playing the lead role.. I am from the south as well 😊 .. This show got me back to ITV shows after so many years and I stayed tuned for Sai.. His growth as an actor can be seen because of his sheer hard work and dedication. He is a complete package and hope we get to see him on the silver screen soon . Wishing him all success in all his future endeavors!!! ROCK ON, SAI!!!

Its not easy to bridge the gap and work in both north and south cultures, but he seems to be conquering both worlds with sheer hard work and efforts.

I have seen plenty shine bright on TV and then fade away. I just hope that luck supports this guy's hard work.

I have been reading you analysis on some of the male actors and their character. You write in words, what I think in my thoughts. I still remember you analysis on Manik. (I don't know if you are same person or not, but reading you feels like you are).

You are so on point about Sai Ketan. The man is Raghav Rao, he lives and breathes RR. Love him to the core.

You are right, about male characters, they have all the fun. I still watch and will always watch any movie, webseries or serial only for the Hero.

There are so few Heros who are so cleverly portrayed. They are just lion among men. Manik Malhotra was one who I still crave for, because he was so deliciously witty and just all round awesome. And now we have Raghav Rao, who is so in your face awesome. One was Lucifer and one is Hades. No comparison, but just admiring Heros who are tedha but hamara hain. No questions, that their counterparts are and were awesome as well.

You may not openly drool but I am no such qualms, teenager or not, will drool for a Hero like Raghav Rao... drool away gals, he is so worth it!!!

Well, the way I look at it is Tedha hai tabhi Mera hai ☺️

Call it drooling, call it appreciating, adoration, whatever but a rose by anyother name still remains the same, fawn over him we will!!

I keep saying this again nd again. Sai is the find of the year for ITV. He has literally got it all. The look , the body , the smile that can kill , expressive eyes , acting prowess ( his emotional scenes hit home ) and a tremendous screen presence.

He has made MHRW his .No offense to Shivangi.....she is a gem . But there are shows which can be carried by just heroine and family drama. But just bcz of Sai.....every episode of this show is incomplete without him in it.

And yes Ketan is a find, just hoping that mediums other than TV discover him too!! For now he is the among the top male leads in current shows with an enviable fan following!!

Yes, another one and my insane friends are reponsible for this!

Statutory Warning - If you are not a Sai Ketan Rao/Raghav Rao fan....put your hands up, turn around and slowly step away!!

I had dreaded this episode, to be honest, cringing at the thought of Raghav being more ridiculed than he already was, turned into a caricature, a joke dressed in outlandish costumes and bathed in exaggerated mannerisms. It promised to be a circus by the looks of it ( that precap), a death knell for this show!! I was confident they will bring this actor and character down on his knees with this cliched and predictable turn of events.

But today he brought me down on my knees and I don't mind going down on one knee for him too 😉!! Ketan turned the tables on each and every one of us know-it-all sceptics. He proved that a fine actor owes all he does and if a performer knows his job, he can pull off any character with a finesse and panache that can take breaths away!!

Very few, I believe, could have done what he did today!! Or rather has been doing from day one of this show.

An unfortunate and ironic fact for us intelligent women of today is ...we watch the show for the man. Shocking, tragic but true!! Because majority of Indian TV female leads are not worth a second look.They are all the same kind, self-sacrificing, mahaan, jagat matas, putting everyone first, self- righteous, paragons of virtue and high morales, unidimensional, saree clad, gehno ki dukaan...blah blah..I can go on and on but you get the picture, we all do.

And the men get all the meat, they get to have all the fun!! They have the opportunity to be creative, they have the good fortune to portray the whole spectrum of emotions. If you are looking for power, for flawed perfection, for humane qualities of failure, arrogance, pride, manipulation, selfishness, look at the man!! (And this is the main reason why I can identify with them more than the females). The hero has it all, the looks, the role and the attitude coz they are the real TRP pullers!! (How I hate to say this as a woman)

But in this legion, Ketan is in a class of his own!!

The way Raghav Rao has been enacted has been sheer brilliance from day one!! An actor's performance is never one directional and he made it clear from his first shot. The voice, its modulation, the speech, dialect, accent, the body language, the stance, the way one walks, even stands, eyes, face, expression, the hands..every part and particle of your being can add to your performance, every damn minute fibre of your existence can create an onscreen persona...and all this and a lot more was Ketan's clear message!!

So easy to overact when you have an OTT character like Raghav Rao to perform. There is nothing subtle about Raghav, he is so loud, so attention seeking, so in your face yet Ketan gave him such clout, such raw power. He got Raghav respect, he gave him dignity and made him likeable and eventually lovable. He made us stand up and take notice everytime Raghav entered the screens. Raghav's addition to any scene ensured a solid performance, he got the hearts racing, the adrenalin pumping and to say that it was all due to his looks would be an injustice and that's an understatement. Such sheer screen presence!! Raghav was such a fine balancing act and Ketan created a masterpiece!!

No words can do justice to an actors fine perfomance so coming to today...he was overdressed to the core, yet carried it off with such ease and confidence. His swagger was worth a look!! Hats off to the guy who can make even this look sexy!! When you owe it, you show it!!

And his entry in the D asylum..fire!! He had just one eye to emote with and emote he did...get goosebumps when I remember how he wouldn't take his eye off Pallavi. The intensity of that gaze, the heat of passion in that eye..the changing moods. First his shock, his concern. He clearly depicted Raghav's state of turmoil! Then his relief and a second of disappointment when she couldn't recognise him. Mandar and Sanki, everyone trying to grab his attention, but no he would not allow any of that. Then his love, his adoration. Then his hate and disgust, indifference towards Mandar. The cherry on the top how he shoved him off without taking his gaze of Pallavi, the message loud n clear - I give a hoot about you dude, I am here for her, get lost!! That one eye even reflected his badass attitude 🤣 And it send shivers down my spine. How in the world can someone act with one, only one eye yaar?

And what body launguage!! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that me and Kaku will be on the same page but man..does this man look royal!! He drips royalty, makes one and all believe that he is no ordinary man. And all of this without his face or facial expressions or voice, none of the standard actors tools at his disposal and he still manages to convey it all with an eye and a body..wow!!

A zillion reasons to walk away from this show but only one is still enough to keep me here..Sai Ketan Rao!!

P.S. Not a hormonal teenager, so don't like to drool over actors (characters are fine) but have to give credit where it's due!!

OMG. Totally my thoughts. I was wondering arre yaar how will they pull this off. I’ve seen other itv shows where the male disguised comes in acting all comic and totally silly with funny voices etc. And i thought gosh i hope they dont do that to him. That would kill his character but wow, just wow….i cant even say it enough. I had goosebumps watching him while he was holding pallavi in his arms while she was still unconscious. That one eye was emoting every emotion he was feeling. Amazing he is.

I’m so glad they kept his character intact but then Pallavi had made him promise that he will never bend for anyone. 🤣

I checked that whole scene again just to make sure that I was not imagining things, but no I saw all the shades expressed clearly and beautifully and thats what led to this writng!! 😀

You have your ways with words

Brilliant description 👏

I was worried too, we calling him pirate, daku, parody Ranveer Singh..

But the makers took care of the details, and gave a proper background to his getup.

And SKR carried the look with so much grace that there are no questions left..

Though I have different view regarding the FLs than you,

I found pall to be diff than usual, typical FL, she is smart and at times not so smart, she is brave, she is honest, she has the will to match Raghav Rao, to stand with him and to stand against him....

Thank you for writing this ..

would like to see you at SKR AT

The repeated ill famed precap made me call him a lot of names too, actually not him but the whole team slid drastically down in my esteem. My amends...yes he was superlative but we notice that more cause he is what we see, undoubtedly what we see is teamwork and group effort. The whole team deserves full credit for pulling this off!! 👏

Pallavi is better than the lot and when the whole forum was up in arms against her, I actually found nothing wrong with her behavior. What she did was actually expected from her and I liked that she was portryed to have a weakness. It was refreshing to see that a female lead was also human and could go wrong too. It was such a pleasure to see her make a mistake for a change. Alas, we have zero tolerance and patience when it comes to those two, we just love this couple too much I guess!! And I have always maintained that a lead couple can only be popular if they are well matched and equals, which no doubt they both are!!

She is a headache and he is a pill !!
