Roshni & DC - the unexplored story

I recently wrote a blog post recounting what I enjoyed the most about Aasman Se Aage and thought I'd share it here too: http://seriousaboutserials.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/aasman-se-aage/

Hey dear, great to see a post from you. I will share my thoughts too😊. Its past bed time for me so will do so later

I liked the way you mentioned, DC was always holding his cards close to his chest .

Amazing. I really have nothing to say, because the piece covered it all.

Good to see u here!!! lovely post!!! 😊

agree with DC holding his cards close to his chest!!!

This show is always close to our heart n there are many memorable scenes in this which won't finish in few posts or topics, it just goes on n on 😳

Hey dear I apologize for coming back late, busy over the weekend, I read the blog and you have written beautifully.

For me ASA is a brilliant show an ace show in the making and a new league altogether.

None can match the way they showed different dimensions of human emotional spectrum.
DC I just loved the character, with many many parameters and textures the characters it held.

The point came when the show reached the perk and then the phase where the characters held certain strings . Roshini's story had the point when Kanish entered, Yet there are many dots which can be connected where DC-Roshini relationship , What I do see is DC was involved with Roshini in a professional level out and out, Yet he did see her getting involved towards many things which was due to her getting vulnerable towards him as she wanted him as the man in her life was long gone due to his insecurities and he feeling that she is drifting away from her and showing her tendencies towards DC. DC who was using her popularity for his show for his need for his desire which was his strength of making his power establishment in the industry used her vulnerable side drawing a thin line of desire YET taking the best of her talent, BUT somewhere deep down he knew that she was drifting and he would'nt stop as his EGO was stopping him as he dose'nt give ROOM to Looser which he saw progressing in her more and more.

The Maasumiyat she had when she came she made it fade away herself, as the makeup she wore she wooed her audience, This was making DC happy he gained his ground of becoming a powerful manipulator and established showman and these were making her go vulnerable towards him yet he would'nt heed to her desire as his advantage was what her fame was making him get the strings on her.

This is how I feel their story was explored , their unexplored story has a lot of pieces which each one has their own prospective . The different expressions of DC when he saw Roshini through the ICU window said a lot of his feelings, his ego being HIT and many other side of what he wished and what had happened.


Just my two cents. 😊

Glad you guys enjoyed reading the post - it was pretty fun for me to rewatch my favourite AsA bits as well.

Very nice blog, Roshini's story had many twists and turns, The creators gave a window to how the Fame and Glamour world can make or break a personality. DC was an ambitious person He knew how to take out through emotions and to stike the chord with people who want to touch fame, He knew Roshini was capable to pull the crowd then ,but she was getting more drawn towards DC who cared more abt the way he could take advantage of her fame, We were not given enough side of their relationship if there was any and if DC was playing his cards the way he wanted he knew when it was getting above the limit, as the way they projected him he was using Roshini's vulnerability too a point only and did not wish to do what maybe his father was doing. This is what I gather as the show speeded after a point

I agree with your points Sami. What I liked about the concept behind DC's character was its contrast - you give a person the ability to see through everyone: their inner most feelings, the value-systems they act out of, motivations even they might be unaware of, and then you make him seemingly impervious to it all. And that hardened nature stemmed out of not just a difficult past and father issues but because that difficult past and issues happened to someone who understands too much. For a child especially attuned to the feelings of others, think how it might have been to witness at a young age a helpless mother, a depraved father, a corrupt society. And so what might in another environment have produced a very compassionate young man who could have empathized with the emotional struggles of others, in this environment produced a man who instead taught himself to manipulate those emotions he could sense to suit his own purposes.

But still there was a line he didn't want to cross. And he didn't with Roshni. But the moment he did with Meenakshi ofcourse that was the absolute rock bottom he could hit and from there no other path but one where he acknowledges his failings could be taken.

I also liked that there were times when Dev couldn't help but react emotionally - even though he had taught himself not to. Like in Sameer's case, and Roshni at the hospital.

O god, I almost feel like an essay coming on about DC. But I'll stop for now.

Thanks ApoorvaFan - I enjoyed Roshni and DC's dynamic as well, too bad we'll never have another pair like them.

By the way guys, in case any one is interested I finally updated my blog with another post:
https://seriousaboutserials.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/ek-chutki-sindoor/

The post has nothing to do with AsA but I would like to note that, as I mentioned in my earlier blogpost about Roshni, I appreciated that she had full agency during her character arc.

Anyway, if you read the link I just shared, let me know you're thoughts - be it about the blogpost itself, or what you feel about how female characters in AsA were depicted after reading this post. 😊
