The Curious Case of the Obsessed Photographer
*Types in 'Tum Mere Ho' on the youtube search bar to emphasize and motivate me to continue with this post*
Naturally this is a show (DUH!) and the characters - especially the heroine is entitled to have her dupatta flying in the air, smelling and looking perfect every second AND finding it romantic and flattering to know that your husband STALKED you before your marriage š³.
So far to my relief there has been no curious case of any flying dupattas, however the episode whereby Janvi was in tears (Happy tears MIND IT! Not downright freaked out ones) when she stared at her own photograph - got me worried. š¤£
I tried to apply this scene in a realistic sense and of course placed myself in her shoes JUST because I cannot imagine anyone else paired against KVB š. I even made a check list just to enact my role as his potential wife in more emphasis.
The 'above' stated check list is the POSITIVE aspects that I can see and mind you I definitely do see them ASS-ets when I look at the screen. But there is also a NEGATIVE - very negative check list that must be acknowledged. Just so it doesn't look like I am a biased lover.
Okay so all the negative aspects - Janvi has endured them. But somehow the last 'photography' component was actually supposed to be a 'romantic' thing. I mean if my husband confessed that he took photos of me I would be shitting bricks. First I would demand to see those photos. I will then squeal exclaiming 'I look so fat and ugly in this photo! Ewww!' Then I would grab onto the pretty photos, rush to the computer, scan it and upload it as my new profile photo. LIKE and COMMENT - I would scream to my newsfeed. Tell me that I am beautiful!
Then and only then will it only occur to me that taking photos from outside my college is basically a form of stalking. And that the act of taking photos when I am unaware of the photographers existence is even more creepier. š³ Like how would I explain our love story to my friends?
... Well you see girls. My husband first saw me outside the college and fell in love with me. Instantly. Then he found a hobby of taking photos of me. And yeah now we are married.
It would make the girl/wife/heroine ponder about her husbands past. Was he the wallpaper in school? The kid that was abnormally quiet and once you shower him with a kind smile then BAM stalked for life. All those thoughts would have rushed through my head the moment I saw photographs of myself.
Then I would remember SRK in Darr and dreamily smile to myself remembering his dimples. ONLY to be crashed as I remembered that he tried to kill everyone. I would then shake my head and think of the movie Inteha whereby Ashmit Patel took photos of the girl, which according to her was flattering only to end up almost being killed by him.
BASICALLY every stalker photographer husbands/obsessed lovers died at the end. That should be a moral for us. Never be flattered with a stalkers tactics! My only explanation is that Janvi is so scared of him that any gesture of love or kindness (even if it is stalkerish) makes her relieved and happy.
In Tere Naam - Salman Khan was OBSESSED to the point of kidnapping her! š¤£ But dear me I was flattered when he was screaming with his parted hair. In fact I was about to knock the girl out for taking so long to fall in love with him.
In Anjaam and Darr I was bawling my eyes out when SRK died. š¤£
YET being abnormal as I am - it made me question whether I'm simply being biased. Which I was. But back to my question. It's easy to overlook these stuff in the movies because we happen to either love the actor or the actor is super freaking gorgeous. But if the guy in real life is better looking than Arjun Rampal + John Abraham + KaranVir Bohra + Imran Abbas + Damon Salvatore + Jensen Ackles + Johnny Depp then would you be flattered if he stood outside your college and took photos of you!?
Be honest. No judging!

- Is he hot? CHECK.
- Is he cute? CHECK.
- Is he well dressed? CHECK.
- Does he have an abnormally adorable smile? CHECK.
- Does he have the 'check out my bank account' look? AKA is he filthy rich!? CHECK.
- Does he have a super sexy accent? CHECK.

- Is he creepily obsessive? CHECK.
- Is he extensively paranoid and constantly jealous? CHECK.
- Is he possessive enough to make you scream out a random window? CHECK.
- Does he lock you in the house and make you 'Gumnaam hai Koi' around the house? CHECK.
- Does he set up cameras around you? CHECK. (On the positive side at least he didn't put a camera in the toilet. Dear me! The awkward moment when you can't even poop in peace).
- Does he throw cockroaches at you and lock you up in the bathroom? CHECK.
- Does he get jealous if you smile and pat a dog? CHECK.
- Does he talk and hug random statues? CHECK.
- Does he have SEVERE OCD? CHECK.
- Does he punish every limb that basically tried to escape from him - IE FOOT? CHECK.
- Does he try to be romantic and confess his love by telling his beaten and frightful wife that he used to take photos of her outside her college? CHECK.
- Does the wife get flattered when she finds out her husband is a sexy photographer? CHECKCHECKCHECK.

BUT-eh!
I would like to question you all. Realistically it's creepy right? But if the guy was super super flaming hot and filthy rich then would you overlook the stalker-ish aspect and be flattered instead? Be honest! I will be honest! I watched John Abrahams 'Aitebaar' and he was not exactly rich, he was more sexy, dangerous, possessive, obsessive and psychotic. But I still had a moment of immense heart break when he died. I was like WHY! *pound chest like Tarzan* What a waste of a good looking guy! š¤£
