A critique on the acting

This is just my personal critique on the acting. Feel free to add on/ disagree. The reason why I made this post as I feel that some of the things have become too jarring when I watch the episodes

Firstly, starting off with the senior cast (mostly the Poddar family), they act well with the material they are given and I wish they were given more scope to perform. I miss all the times in old YRKKH where the side characters had their own stories and development.

Moving on to the parallel leads, I think Romit is decent but I feel that he has not reached his full potential in terms of acting in the show. I feel Garvita does well- her performance after she woke up from her coma and realised that she lost her baby was one of her best and I hope she gets opportunities as female lead in a new show in future to further develop herself. The actor playing Abhir is good in his anger scenes but I feel it's too early to judge him.

Finally as for the leads, I think Rohit does well in his anger scenes. But I feel that he overacts in romance scenes and even for the baby loss scene, I felt his performance was underwhelming. Compared to his performances in his other shows, I feel his acting has regressed. I was so surprised with his romance scenes as he did quite well in his previous shows.

But the biggest disappointment for me has been Samriddhi. When she first started in this show, she did really well in terms of the bubbly personality. And she stood out with the initial cast and I thought she had lots of potential. I don't know if it is the change in the cast or that her flaws started becoming more prominent with variations in her character but now I feel that her performance has become stagnant/ declined. Her emotional scenes have not been very impressive from the start. But this stood out to me in yesterday's episode when she found out that Abhir was her brother, I was confused at what emotion she was trying to convey (or I don't know if Samriddhi herself does not know what the writers and director are trying to convey ). When I muted and rewatched the scene, I realised that I could not make out much based on her facial expressions. Though the presentation of the scene was ludicrous, there have been crazier scenes on ITV previously and the older generation of actors managed to pull it off. And watching previous clips and episodes, I realised that Samriddhi has a standard set of expressions that she falls back on each time (but to give her the benefit of the doubt, the tracks in YRKKH are rather repetitive that might limit the scope for her performance). Regardless given how long she has been in YRKKH, I would expect her to do better in terms of emotional scenes and have more variations in terms of expressions.

Mate, I understand this is just your perspective but the timer is on. Either this thread will vanish or get ready for some intense discussion.

I think all other actors have performed well when given opportunities, be it Ruhi, Charu, Abhir except Vidya actress, she is just OTT all the time. Anita Raja is fabulous.

In my opinion, the most disappointing performances have been from leads, I don’t find Rohit good in any kind of scenes be it romance, emotional or angry scenes. Samriddhi is good at bubbly kind of scenes, the badbad kind that she was doing initially at the start of gen4, but otherwise she falls flat in most other scenes, be it romance, emotional or crying etc. scenes like where she is talking to dead Ak, I find them very hard to sit through even for a sec even if it is to listen to the dialogues.

Guts to voice out your opinion because you watch in your own way. It's any day personal choice. We like few scenes and can't connect few. It looks odd. Everyone has some plus and minus to give expressions. Director should cash it correctly knowing the potential of the artist and writers should stress that. Sachin ji anitaraj are the best.

- rohit was good in his prev. show, I liked his acting there. but here it looks like he ain't improving, like putting any efforts on his character. when he entered he had a crying scene where family members ridicules armaan and I genuinely felt bad for him, he did a good job there. after that sorry but there wasn't a single impressive act from his side (for me atleast).

- samriddhi just don't know to potray crying (heavily emotional) scenes with depth. It's very feeka. like you said, when this gen started, I actually liked the bubbly characters and the scenes were funnily good, but now it annoys me (maybe because of abheera's core characters or idk).

actually prev cast (ML and PL) were weak in terms of acting so she shined at that time, then with cast change new actors overshadowed her and she has not improved either.

- garvita has done an appreciable job in emotional scenes and that's there.

- romantic scenes are so flat because I just can't feel the chemistry bw leads.

prev actor (ML) was not that good in acting terms but his chemistry with samriddhi was watchable actually.

no hate to actors personally, just sharing my views over the acting as an audience. :)

I hope thread survives

I don't know abcd of acting so will not comment. But usually in rishta all actors face issues. It could be due to 7 days airing. Actors literally has no time to reflect what exactly they did on last episode to improve in next week. Even i have noticed hc also had good days and bad days.

I personally heard ropu and sam were good in their previous shows. I have watched all other senior actors shows so they seem to be good in those shows as well as now.

In this show i like garvita and romit more than leads.

I totally agree 👍 what you said ...but now there will be blast
