Hello there, I've read many comments regarding Ragini's performance these days and I would just like to share with you that I asked this question to Ragini myself on twitter on the 27th July..
"do you have any say in the story/script/writing of SGP episodes/scenes? Ragini's reply was
"No we do not have any right, our job is to execute only"
Which means that the actors are there to only perform what has been written. They've slaughtered Suhana's character since the amnesia track (I'll never forgive them for that) but now she's improved a lot since the "Shashikala" days🤢 but yes her scenes are not as impactful as they used to be.
If you look back when the writing was super, each scene of Suhana's was written and directed beautifully and of course Ragini was spellbinding because the opportunity of performing then was far greater than it is now. Some of her scenes were so brilliant that I used to gasp with amazement and have tears in my eyes for the emotional scenes with BM. Even during the BT track, when she found out the truth, she was brilliant...her many layers of emotions, her many shades of ambiguity, her expressions and her acting overall was so powerful but in a very subtle way. Ragini made me feel her pain and made me cry! No other television actors have managed to move me to tears, she was the 1st one.👏
Please don't think I am defending her because I am an avid fan but I don't think it's her fault entirely. I too have noticed the shortcomings but SGP being a show on SP, the writing really doesn't allow great depth for one to master their craft because of the restricted creativity exhibited in the screenplay. I've heard it many times before where the actor leaves or has problems with the production team because of such reasons but I guess if they've signed contracts then it's not so easy...Ragini's hands may be tied.
Whether it's movies, television shows, sit-comes, drama serials, it is the creative writing/screenplay that makes or breaks it, not the actor. This is the reason that many big budget movies with A-star artists fail at the box office.
Since initiation, Ragini has proved that she can excel which means she is fully capable of giving us amazing portrayal again, but all that depends on what the writers want Suhana to do. Considering her character has been degraded, I believe she still acts rather well, not great like before but still good. Tell me, can you imagine ANY OTHER actors depicting Suhana in a better way? I don't think so because she's acting within the parameters of what she's allowed to do!

Yes a good actor can make an average scene look really good, but what is the actor to do if the dialogues/scenes are not written well? What is to do if quality of her characterisation has been reduced tremendously? She doesn't have the right to do what Suhana used to do BEFORE because she has to follow what's been written NOW...she's not allowed to do anything different.

An actor can only perform wonders if the creativity permits them to improvise, be spontaneous and bewitching.

From
all the bits and pieces on television that I've seen in the last decade,
she's by far the best actress I've seen for the small screen.👏Of course there's always room for improvement. She'll develop and grow even further than where she is now.
