@Ankita and Varnita,
You both are SO right! You know, when Ramayan first came I was not that big a fan of Gurmeet and Debina, because I was more a fan of older Ramayan, but even then when I watched some of their scenes I was like...are they a couple in real life? Because that naturalness and sincerity in their acting, I have not found in any other mytho couple to this day. I don't think such love and devotion for each other could be portrayed unless they were a real couple, and that's what made the Ram-Sita scenes in ASR so special. We did not know then that they were a real couple, and everyone was stunned at how real their scenes looked. After PPAW, I fell in love with Gurmeet and Debina's jodi and decided to give the new Ramayan a chance, and that's when I started to love it. If any other actors played Ram and Sita than Gurmeet and Debina, I doubt it would have been that popular, because they really brought a spark to the serial. They brought the jodi of Ram and Sita to life, and for a mytho in the 21st century, that's saying a lot.
Yes, all their scenes in PPAW were priceless, but I loved the ones with young Lucky the most. He was just so adorable and he seemed like Gurmeet and Debina's real son...I was so sad when he left because the other kids weren't half as interesting.😳😆 I could tell even Gurmeet and Debina him the most.
I also liked the episodes with the older lady who acted as Gurmeet's mom...they were so affectionate and caring with her, and she with them. I loved how everyone referred to her as modern-day Kaushalya.
