Rather...Know your Aukad!😲😉

Arzoo exudes goodness, and she expects the same from others...she stands up for the downtrodden...would even lay her life down impulsively to protect the rights of the lesser privileged.

This time around, she crosses the limits of employee- boss relationship in her eagerness to help Linda.. and is promptly shown her place. His words keep ringing in her ears. Why does it hurt her so much that he pointed out their difference in Status? What makes him more than an arrogant heartless employer to her?

Arzoo is not even asking herself those questions as she walks into the dargah. Somewhere in her subconscious, she must have registered him as a humsafar. Her journey from a small town to the big world of Mumbai...HE has been the constant in this journey. On the surface, she disagrees with him on so many levels. But deep down, her mind has accepted him without her knowledge...He should not have crossed that line. They may not be friends...They would never be equals..Yet they had an equation...An understanding they had formed that neither would accept...

His words cut through her deeply and echoes over and over...why is this pain more than the indifference of her Abbu and the indecent assault by his wife?...so much so that his voice is the only thing she hears as she enters the holy place.

Sahir's car breaks down nearby...and he is drawn to the dargah.

A Baba talks to Arzoo about her humsafar- the one who would stay with her through her journey of Life..and NEVER leave her side.

Pain...binds them. His inner torment is greater than hers- she would nurse his wounds...

Two points that strike in this episode:- Two things Arzoo learns...and Sahir will have to make her unlearn...

1. She may never have thought about it till now..but for future references, Sahir has detailed the relationship between them- they belonged to two different worlds. She could never even dream to be in the same league as him...a thought that is going to nag her for a long time...Sahir would have to undo that thought he himself implanted.

2. All men must be same- or so Arzoo is led to believe, after her latest encounter with Sahir. She wonders if there is actually a man out there who knows how to respect a woman...

This must be Arzoo's Achille's Heel...something Sahir has to break through...in the months and years they grow to know each other...

1st point i agree to ... 2nd i feel has more to do with Arzoo's own prejudice ... just as Sahir has a prejudice for people from smaller cities which makes him bring that comparison again and again ... arzoo has a prejudice against me ... arzoo's reason we know ... sahir's we are yet to find out ... what sahir said to her was not because she was a woman but like u said she had crossed the line but arzoo has a bias ... bias against men all thanks to her father

They both will have to change each other ... both will have to undo the prejudice they have for each other ... both will have to heal each other ... in-order to be humsafars ...

They both have a bias😳...wonder which one will be corrected first...😉

In Arzoo's mind, the first point might just come as an extension of what she's would like to be disproved about men...

Interestingly, she dopes not state it as a fact..she wonders..Are all men the same? As if..she wants to see the exception...she is more receptive to change...so Point Two should be easily dealt with.

But Point One- What he has so heartlessly declared...That is going to take some time to be nullified..😉

I think it will also depend on how sahir behaves with her outside of work environment because if what Sahir said was meant for boss employee relation it will have less implication because there he is kinda justified ... but i wonder if she was not working for him would that boundary still be drawn? I know we can never find out now 😆 because she is the employee and he is the boss

First thing first, I loved this post!

I think what the show has managed to put forth very eloquently, and with nuance is that Sahir and Arzoo are destined. Their love is what is intended to happen, that they are, in every sense of the word, each other's humsafars. It's been shown through their near hit and miss encounters, the chaand scene, the airport arrival scene. We know without a doubt that they are meant for one another.

And with a love like this, that is larger than life and has been written in the stars from the very beginning, there is always, always a gravitational pull. It is their soul that calls to each other, and their pain. It's the universal weight of who they are to each other, that affects them so much. It's why his voice haunts her as she walks through the holy place. And it's so telling that as she walks through this pure and holy place, that it is his words that are echoing through her. His words alone that affect her.

The two points you made:

1) In which Arzoo will have to unlearn her class insecurities in regard to Sahir. I don't think that will be as much of a problem seeing as Sahir is shown to respect those that respect him. When their relationship eventually gets to the point where they have established who they are to each other, the inferiority Arzoo feels now will not be a problem. BUT like you said to get to this point Sahir will have to himself take back what he said, and not only tell but also show Arzoo that she is his equal in every way. That she is the only person in the world worthy of knowing who he truly is, the good, the bad and the infinite pain.

2) Arzoo's VERY vehement prejudice is this! It's what defines her interaction with men. With Zaki she is completely untrusting although tolerating. With Sahir she is quick to jump to conclusions. She does not trust them because no one man has stayed long enough for her to trust. They have broken her trust, and men in power are the ones she cannot tolerate. And just as you said, Sahir will be the one to break through this barrier. He will always be there, in fact he has been her constant thus far, whether she likes it or not. Yeh humsafar hamesha tere saath chale ga. That is what the maulvi had said to her. He will never leave her, and he will always stand by her. But it's the trusting part that will take, and Sahir will be as patient as always.

Thank you for this wonderful post you've written! It was a pleasure to read.

In yesterday's episode SaAz established as Humsafars😳

Dard dard ko khichta hai...

Khiche chale aaye Sahir Sahib apne Aarzoo ki aur😛

The moment Sahir got off the car that scene was beautifully done. Within a minute his expression changed. His stiffness gone, he was more calm and composed.

The song was also beautiful.

About your two points, we all know that one day Aarzoo will realize that all men are not the same. And Sahir Sahib will also know that saare chote sheher wale chote soch wale nahi hote. They both will help each other to get over of this thinking.😛.

Long way to go...till then we will enjoy their journey 😛😳

Just saw that deleted video

It was wonderful. I am watching it over and over again.

I wish there was no copyright issues😭
