First thing first, I have and will aways be a huge fan of Dargah scenes mostly because of the symbolism they hold, and the purity and assurance they put forth. Sahir and Arzoo's Dargah scene was no less amazing for me.
I don't know where to begin with these two. Sahir who is supposed to be our typical angry young man, with a hardened heart and an even tougher mind. And yet he is more patient than most, he believes in second chances, he is controlled. His anger is always there, under the surface, but he isn't a ticking time bomb and Sahir doesn't waste his time with petty personal vendettas. Case in point had this been Gul's other shows Sahir would have degraded Arzoo for her Jhumroo Khan flying stunt. Instead Sahir had looked on in utter bewilderment, and had allowed her to apologize. He's extremely sensitive to the people around him even though he doesn't emote this. Sahir ek shayar hai. He is a writer, a lover of words, a master of penning emotions, he more than anyone knows people. He can read them and know where to hurt them most, but he isn't actively cruel or calculating to the people around him. He's completely compartmentalized his life. Work. Family. Work. Everything has a time, level of commitment and effort, and he does not stray. He has his routine because it keeps him occupied, it allows him to not have time to feel.
Arzoo on the other hand, well if Sahir is all control, then Arzoo is no control. She wears her anger on her sleeve, and even the smallest tug has her erupting in rage. She is so emotional, in that she feels what she feels, its all or nothing for her. If she loves you she loves you and if she hates you then indifference does not exist in her diary at all. She's smart, she's ambitious and she is incredibly talented. Arzoo's heart is saaf, but in many ways she is so naadaan about the ways of the world. Her short grasp on her anger leads to a level of immaturity that is refreshing and shows you that she is flawed. Her immaturity which has shown us now that she lacks professionalism when her heart is on the line, is a defining trait for her. She is a short fuse ready to burst at the smallest attack against her, and to see her journey into a capable and confident woman who learns to handle her demons will be a treat to watch.
On the surface they couldn't be anymore different, one is controlled, the other is uncontrollable. But they share one thing, and that's pain. Pain and anger and the feeling of knowing what helplessness feels like. This isn't a story of girl meets boy, girl heals boy. No, their destiny lies so inherently with the other's pain, because if Arzoo heals Sahir's heart, Sahir will heal her's too. Dard, dard ko keechta hai. They are drawn to each other because they are bound by pain, they know what the other knows about what it is to live with pain and anger everyday. Perhaps Sahir's wounds are deeper than Arzoo's, and perhaps we will take longer to heal, but Arzoo's prejudices are long and heavy, and her mistrust of men runs even deeper. How does a thorned flower bloom for the dark? When the dark carries the moon in its hold, and the flower has been aching for the slightest bit of light. Sahir will bleed his way to her bloom, his emotions will bleed out from his cold heart because that's what Arzoo does, she is desire and she is what will force him to feel.
Tohe piya milenge.
Sahir and Arzoo are soulmates, it's been established since the beginning. They are what the other needs, and eventually what they will both want. They are drawn together because that is what is intended, their love is larger than life, and it's crafted been by God himself.
When Sahir enters and Sukhwinder ji's voice sings Jo hai dekha, wohi dekha to kya dekha hai / Dekho woh jo auron ne naa kabhi dekha hai my god the foreshadowing was incredible. It's beckoning both Arzoo and Sahir to look past what the world sees when it looks at them, but to see what they are both meant to see in each other, what the world will never be able to see. And then the boy asking Sahir to buy a rose because dil ko sukoon milega, and Sahir has nothing to give this boy but it doesn't matter because Arzoo has already paid for his phool, paid for his sukoon. Just a glimpse of what is to come, that Arzoo will bring him the sukoon Sahir so desperately seeks.
Piya toh zaroor milenge, but the question is how? How will Arzoo's saadhagi win over Sahir and how will Sahir's carefully placed walls be crashed by Arzoo? It's a matter of two equally flawed people creating a love that is their own haven. Whatever the case, I am very much intrigued to find out where these two kindred souls go from here.
