What's wrong with moving on? - Page 3

I'll never accept it . Armaan and Riddhima are eternal lovers no matter what others say! I'll never move on from that fact .

I can see where you're coming from in this post. And though I'll be saddened by it, I do agree that Armaan does need to move on.

However, I hasten to add, that I can see AR fans to have a valid point. It may be realistic for AR to move on, but I think the 'unrealisticness' (forgive my word invention) was the charm of their relationship. The fact that they loved each other so much was so unrealistic, that it was the very thing that kept you glued to the screen. To many people, AR were and are in the same category as Romeo-Juliet, Heer-Ranjha etc...just of the modern day.

Every couple, when they start off, think they 'love each other so much'. Ofcourse, Indian Television has a history of showing each love story with extra exaggeration. Perhaps it is that exaggeration that leads the audience to think that the couple is 'eternal'. But even if we remove the never ending eyelocks, the background music, the falling sessions, the cheesy dialogue and the weird camera angles, the gist remains the same - every young couple views the world around them through rose coloured glasses. An imperfect world seems perfect. But that doesn't mean their love is 'eternal', does it? It's just a phase, it passes by soon enough. This is exactly what AR went through. Now their perfect dream is over. That's it.

Yes, you're right. Their love story was unrealistic. But that doesn't imply the end has to be unrealistic too. The rose coloured glasses are off. DMG is finally showing something grey, I feel fans should appreciate this change.

I think the other thing that annoys fans is that after 2 years of AR, in which time fans have become so attached to the characters, it seems pointless to separate them. What's the point of 2 years of AR, if they're not going to be together in the end.

There's no point at all. But were the fans watching DMG only to see AR end up together? I thought the journey was more important than the destination. I'm glad DMG is showing something real.

Also, DMG is never realistic! 😆 Exactly. Now it has a chance to be.

But on a more serious note, TV shows are there to entertain, and in some cases are mediums by which people can forget reality and escape into a fantasy world. They're hardly ever particularly realistic, because ultimately they provide what the viewers want. And generally speaking, viewers want tales of eternal love, because they're simply so rare and give happy endings. Viewers like happy endings! 😃

I don't think 'entertainment' is defined by 'happy endings'. Melancholy can be entertaining too. Sorrow can be endearing too. There is a certain charm to sadness too. Entertainment is defined differently by different people. Besides, I feel people like shows that they can connect with. And people can only connect with something real. Reality can be entertaining too.

The point is: if fictional stories can't even give happy endings, what hope do we have in real life?

Let me put it this way - You think happy endings in TV shows give hope to reality?

I've been observing this forum for a while. All the 'AR fans' seem to be perturbed by the fact that a new woman would be coming in Armaan's life. Now, my arguement doesn't entail the Sid-Ridhima marriage, my arguement finds it's stems in the question - What's wrong with moving on?

AR suddenly seem to have become some sort of a 'legendary' or 'tragic' couple. To start with, DMG isn't some classic shakespeare romance or literature, it's a fictional show. Second, it's a show about youngsters. These 20-somethings that we're talking about. Each so called 'love' seems like eternal, 'I-can't-live-without-you' kind of relationship. If AR were real, they would laugh at their little fling 10 years hence. I'm not claiming that the new woman in Armaan's life, i.e Shilpa, is his real soulmate, but defenitely a new chapter in his life.

Oh and taking bullets for each other doesn't cement the fact that two people are eternal lovers. How many times have we heard about crazy couples slitting their wrists for each other? Almost every second day.

Hell, we're not even aware of what true love is.

My point is, 'moving on' isn't some sort of shocker. It's realistic. It happens. Just when you feel you've found THE one, the pack of cards falls and it's gone in the wink of an eye. This isn't equivalent to Heer Ranjha, Romeo Juliet, Laila Majnu et al. Let DMG be realistic for a change.

totally agree with u...................ppl say about the eternal love of AR.............Riddhima crying on her knees or felt her ex's presence in her husband's room and somethings like that prove their eternal love.................then where this eternal love was when Ridz said aj mujhe sid ke sune ke bad pehlibar kuch hua hai jo arman ko sune se hota tha............or where their eternal love was when in the absence of Arman in one epi ridz said "mujhe ab sid asse lagne laga hai".................after all that AR's love is called as eternal.........I think its a insult to the lovestory like of jack-Rose or romeo-juliet..........

totally liked ur post..................in reality there is nothing like eternal love...........its all about how we cope up with life by moving on and make the best out of it.........................
