Hello everyone!!!
Back with my update..
I realized the way the story is unfolding might be confusing so I thought I'd just clear it up..
So basically, Sid is in New York right now but a phone call prompts him to go back to Mumbai. He is going back after 3 months. On the flight, he recollects what had happened after he'd given the divorce papers to Riddhima. He'd gone back to be present for the divorce proceedings and thats when he watched Riddhima say I love you to Armaan and all that stuff. They meet in court for the divorce proceedings but the court dismisses their divorce petition saying their grounds for divorce were unconvincing. The court orders them to live together for another 4 months. So, Sid went back to New York after completing the 4 month period and now, 3 months after that he is heading back to Mumbai.
Hope that helps.. Don't know if I've confused you all the more... 😕
Another thing I want to mention here is that I know that the CVs brutally sidelined Sid's pain in the story and showed him walking away with a smile on his lips but we all know, no sane person can be that strong.. Sid has, as always, internalized his pain.. He has given up hope and is suppressing a huge amount of pain and grief and thats why he has become numb and lifeless.. Earlier, whenever Riddhima hurt him, he lashed out at her and vented his anger at her because he felt he could.. I'd like to think of it as his way of letting her know how much she meant to him - that she had the power to hurt him.. But now, he does not lash out at her because he does not feel anything anymore.. And he has given up on Riddhima. Just like we have no qualms about letting someone we love know that they've hurt us, that they have the power to hurt us because they mean so much to us but with a stranger, we hide our weaknesses and our hurt.
Okay so now that might sound all confusing but thats the way I felt.. When I thought of how Sid would react to the whole thing, this is the most apt way I could come up with for the character profile of Sid. However, Sid being Sid, he can never stop caring, but he will in no way force his hurt or his affections or his love on Riddhima and thats why we still see Sid checking on Riddhima before he himself went to bed.
Phew!! My explanation has become just as long as my update.. Better stop now before all of you fall asleep.. 😆
Thank you sooo much for all your lovely comments... I know all of us hate Riddhima and you-know-who and we all feel for Sid... *Sigh* Siddhant Modi is just the most exceptionally and wonderfully brilliant character ever on Indian TV...
Thats it from me for now...
