Ordinarily, you would not find me celebrating scene anniversaries. I used to be one of those who didn't quite understand the concept of doing that for so many scenes. Until one scene happened that made comprehension dawn all of an epiphanic sudden, and here I am today. Beginning from April 2011, through highs and lows and then very lows to boot, SwaRon's journey had been quite the roller coaster ride for every lover of their love story and Vrushika came in when it seemed to have been at an all time low for months on end without a ray of hope in sight. January 2013 brought in bright sunshine unexpectedly and it lead up to the one thing each and every SwaRon fan had been waiting for since the very beginning of their story: a confession that would make Swayam and Sharon an official couple. I've been a bit of a skeptic through most of my life, so after more than two years of waiting and watching more lows than highs I had begun to doubt if anything could make this long a wait worth it. And 20th June 2014 brought me the one scene that i will ALWAYS have held so close to my heart that I am still not tired of watching it over and over and over again. The SwaRon confession, when it happened on this day last year, was worth every single second of those two years that were spent in its anticipation: the scripting, conceptualisation, direction, camera work, background music and most importantly the performances were outstanding and together made for something that will occupy a space in every SwaRon fan's heart for a long, long time to come. ❤️
First there was the anti-climax...a nice little build up to the first part of the confession that was truly one of its kind: Sharon made Papa Shekhawat slide off his treadmill by declaring that she is in love with his son, lol, and Swayam took that entire scene to just soak in and let himself believe what he just heard her say. I remember how nearly heartbroken I was when Sharon waited for Swayam and he decided not to meet her that night on Rey's advice. But the classroom scene the next day made up for that and everything else I might have been saddened by, and how.
The highlight of the sequence for me, without a shade of doubt, was the way Swayam asked for a hug, the way Sharon complied with tears in her eyes and all the hugs that followed made me feel the happiest and warmest I have ever felt in all the three years that I have loyally followed D3. Honest. Everything about those hugs, the way they were done and the expressions of ecstatic happiness and contentment on SwaRon's faces like they just found a way to hold their entire world within their arms and wanted nothing more than to just keep holding on and never let each other go...touchwood for that still, I say. And Thank You for that to everyone who made it possible: Palki ma'am and Priya ma'am for writing it brilliantly, the director, camera team and editing team for crafting it to look as amazing as it did on my screen and to Shantanu and Vrushika for breathing life into it the way I feel only the two of them could have. 🤗
As I look back today at the scene and how it had made me feel a year ago, it just reaffirms my belief that the best scenes are those that NEVER get old and have a way of making any ordinary day brighten up with a spark that never wanes. And this is one of them, at least for me.
