Ah, well…I’ve only really watched bits and pieces of DMG so my answer is based off the very little I’ve seen of Drashti as Muskaan.
What I have seen I generally like, she’s a character who’s lovable, feisty, and naadaan all at once. Muskaan seems like a strong character who can keep her own, I wish she got more attention as a character, but I suppose we couldn’t enjoy Geet if she did. She’s not crying all the time and is wonderfully flawed–she’s not the sati-savitri type, but she’s got a heart of gold and some of the best comedic scenes ever.
I think it’s always funny to watch DMG for Drashti because you can tell her acting is forced a lot of the time, and then BAM she comes out with Geet and is flawless. I feel like her character in Madhubala had a lot of potential, but Drashti ended up overacting towards the end. It’s refreshing to watch her in ETR only because she seems so much more natural in her role–it seems to come so easily to her, it’s effortless. You can tell she’s a lot more comfortable in this role, because you can see her without the garish overacting. With Muskaan it was kind of hard to focus on Muskaan herself because DD seemed ill at ease, I mean it was my baby’s first show. But she learned a lot and has grown wonderfully.
