Dear Arya (A Fan Letter)
/Note: If you have been watching "Decoupled", you will realise that they introduce Arya as a misanthrope but he is just exposing people of their charade/ So Arya, played by Madhavan, in Netflix's Decoupled is the life of the show. Real people, at least in India, speak exactly like that, or some do. They body shame, fat shame, they laugh at you and that is how you grow a thick layer and pass sarcastic comments. He says what others just think. He is the Tamilian with no filters. He is warm too. You can see it in the way he cares for Shruti and also to an extent, Rohini. Surveen has done a great job too. They might have taken it a bit too far in several instances and as a Hyderabadi, I may not be able to relate with many of the slices of the Gurgaon life but certainly Arya has poured life into his character. He is so real. He is annoying at times. He speaks the wrong things, does what he feels like. He never sugar coats and is always observant. Much like a writer. Some time...
