Out of fear, Veera cried and when she cried, the unbearable sight broke her Veer, Ranvi! He ran downstairs, taking solace the room, where Sampooran's portrait adorns the wall... a room he goes to in an attempt to communicate to his father... to share his joy and his sorrow! But then he sat with his back towards the picture. Probably slowly coming to terms with reality, that his papaji's presence in the room was no more than the hung picture, which was a moment trapped in time, but the truth! He was not going to provide him the support he so desperately sought. Poor kid hid his face in his knees and cried his eyes out, no one to even notice the heartache he was going through.
And then came Nihal and i really really liked him here. Ranvi threw his arms around him and let his grief flow. His insecurities, his fears, he bared it in front of a man he knew cared for his sister. And the solace Nihal offered by making Ranvi realize what scared Veera the most, preparing Ranvi to be strong to stand by his sister. At the end of the scene, the Ranvi's distaste towards this man was washed away.
And here it was that I felt angry with Sampooran all over again! A growing child needs his father to protect him and to guide him. Hold his hand through the turbulent times till he can be stable on his own. The first hero of any son. First time ever it was like that I felt that tug... the scene that reminded me that Ranvi after all was a kid... he acted strong, but the child inside him longed for a father's love... needed him for guidance, comfort and security that Sampooran's one thoughtless act ripped it off him, inflicting a wound on his childhood that will be difficult to cure.
