But in reply to the basic question...In case you are watching the show regularly...(I'm not sure if you are), Soumya's expressions are not that awful all the time...she actually does a pretty good job in the scenes when they show her smiling and being playful...she's quite natural there.
I feel it is the director's job more than anything else to check her on the repetition of those scaredy expressions...and the slow motion effects added in by the editing team make it worse. Otherwise for a newbie, she's quite alright. I've seen FAR worse...in abundance on Sitara Ek...Atleast Soumya isn't artificial...
And I don't understand why she has to be constantly put down in comparison to Anant either...I don't find him to be the epitome of greatest looks/greatest acting either😕😆
The USP of this show is the treatment of the interactions b/w AN...this is not your standard "hawt" couple from the average lame "youth" show out there.
very well said, soumya has been portraying Navya n not some hot gal of today, n Navya is supposed to be a reserved person who is living in a super-protective family...one who never comes forward for anything on her own...n Soumya is doing perfectly well...in fact she did superb when she was abt to get caught by the prof yesday nite after coming out of the guys hostel...n her expressions when she was convincing appy was also fine...also when she went to ananths house...thats perfectly how Navya is supposed to be ...shes so lost, scared n madly in love...n Soumya is bringing out Navyas feelings v well...its easy to criticise an actor for not matching upto expectations, but what many of them preaching here dont understand is that the character has to come out well...n Navya's feeings r so well presented by Soumya...the same issue had once come up with the character Nivedita of Chand Chhupa...people tore apart Neha Sargam on similar lines...but she has done perfectly as Nivedita n no one cud have portrayed Niveditas feelings better than her...
so lets stop criticising actors on this forum n discuss issues that the story is bringing out!!
