Abhira/Armaan fans can give a neutral opinion regarding their acting skills/character but other actors are perfect? Sam's portrayal during Abhir's identity revelation was bland & should've been followed by shock, disbelief & denial but it wasn't. It was followed by expressions of being shocked and overwhelmed for 10 seconds with amazing dialogue "aap toh secret keeping ki champion nikli mama" instead of dialogues like "nahin aise kaise ho sakta hai" "main nahi manti keh mera koi bhai hai" "meri mama mujhse jhoot kyun bolain gi?". It's not Sam's fault that she wasn't given these dialogues or her shock/disbelief didn't last for more than 10 seconds as instructions to hold expressions are given by directors who were seemingly on bullet train to wrap up Abhir's identity reveal in a single episode. I haven't seen a single daily soap actor/actress who never gave a bad performance. Sometimes the emotional drama is too repetitive that it loses its essence. I personally liked very next episode's Abhira-Ruhi scenes where Abhira asked her "tumne mujhe kyun nahi bataya keh mera bhai bhi hai" Sam was good with her voice modulation and emotions so was Garvita with her silence and calmness.

Even veteran actresses like Anita Raj mostly gave impactful good performances but few of her performances weren't as convincing.

Garvita was bad in all Ruhi's trauma scenes where she had to portray Ruhi's panic attack & her acting during 7 step plan was too bad. But she was exceptional in scenes when Ruhi was left at altar & when Ruhi got to know about her baby's death. These two performances stood out.

Sam was exceptional during Abhira's IR & during the scenes where Abhira collapsed & had to portray trauma of a woman who is dead inside after Ruhi's "tumhari maa key karmon ki wajah sey tum maa nahi ban sakti". She was good during KC scenes & pregnancy conceal & reveal. Her portrayal during "I hate pyaar" wasn't convincing for me. Abhira's motherly emotions for her bsp are connectable.

Rohit was exceptionally good during his confrontation scenes with Dadisa, he was too good in car/rain scenes (pregnancy revelation). He was also exceptionally good during Armaan-Abhira's post-divorce confrontation scenes. Rohit has given too many exceptional performances specifically him as angry young man.

Rohit and Sam both were too good during Armaan-Abhira's post-divorce confrontation scenes.

Shruti as Vidya was good in portrayal of a step-mom who hasn't completely accepted Armaan or blames him for her miseries, when she was introduced initially. The bitterness in Vidya towards Madhav and Armaan was well portrayed, but later on her character & the actress starts being overly expressive or dramatic. Her character downgraded alongwith her portrayal. Even now she is good in normal or taunting Abhira scenes.

Shruti as Manisha is good in spitting facts or crisp dialogue delivery. Her scenes have impact even though her body language can improve in fun scenes.

Saloni has improved a lot from Dev-Charu track to molestation track. She was too good in portraying Charu's disgust, emotional breakdown, fear and then newfound courage as a girl who was molested by her fiance.

Same. I have patience for few more episodes. I restarted the show after Ruhit came back because abhimaan are too boring and bland on their own. That cringe triangle over that looser lustmaan couldn’t hold my attention either. Once this baby track is done and show is focused on abhimaan again, I may quit it again. I think most actors are good, but the writing and the story is holding them back. It’s no wonder itv trp is going down each week. I can’t watch a show over any actor. I need to be entertained first. I found the Hannibal show, but I don’t like that screen is dark for the show. I need a light screen show and less blood and killing. I will still finish that show as the show is good, but I do need a lighthearted show. Anyone has any recommendations for foreign shows minus Korean shows? I am so bored and yucked by itv

Same with me when I was hooked on GOT, now House of Dragons, I need a light show to clear my head. I mostly watch comedy shows and if is itv it has to be one of Ekta shows. It doesn't matter cause 1 function can last one month with drama that the camera will zoom on everyone one at time to express the shock & BGM, smiley37smiley37 and my head is clear.

Look for example best comedy smiley36

Omg so much zoom in on the faces. Her shows have become so crappy now. I heard her Kumkum bagya ended with the fl being in comma and no one finding the truth about secrets and villains smiley37

Her shows used to be so good in the past even with all the zoom in on faces. Like even a sidey characters like Mohini in huge cast show like Kyunki would get such great character arc that people would get hooked smiley37https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-PPSVlNWC5/?igsh=aHRhb3BpZnJoZzZi

If you want a lighthearted show, I can recommend some. Hart of Dixie is very good. New Girl, Lucifer and The bad place are another very good lighthearted shows. I loved these shows, but idk if you have already watched them by now lol. Wish there was a way that that part of my brain which has the memory of these shows could be wiped out safely, so I could rewatch these shows as if I am watching them for the first time 😭😂 Most shows right now have too much violence, dark screen, sex, TQ+ and other nonsense. I need those kind of lighthearted shows back 😪 Still looking for one to stop watching the shit itv. Can’t take itv misogyny and stupidity shit anymore

Yes, I know about this show. I don’t like the fl though. At the moment, I am not in the mood for itv/Pakistani shows. I need a break from it. I am already trying to quit ristha too. Thanks for the recommendation though smiley27

Hannibal was too dark and gruesome for me, my hubby gobbled it up, but I couldn’t watch beyond a few episodes.

Me and my hubby recently started watching Matlock which is nice, light legal drama with a back story. Not too dark, funny and has a bigger plot with each episode based on a single case.

Another one which my husband has watched and is asking me to watch is Magpie murders. I have watched the start and though detective series isn’t my genre, I am enjoying watching this as its narration is quite unique, but mind you it’s British so not as fast paced or packed with thrills as American-made series are.

Oh oh oh that's very good one you'll enjoy it. Especially the subplot. It's a lot of suspense and thrill, of a who done it. Watch it smiley42 The book to me is more scary, you do know there was a movie too on in 2022. British so that mean you're watching it on Masterpiece Theatre smiley36

Matlock, are you watching the new remake
