.............and ASR RULES THE HEARTS😭❤️🤗
Girls, I am so overcome by emotion by today's episode, I can't do anything but bawl😭 I know this is fiction, but unfortunately, if I can't relate it to real life, I can't enjoy anything I am watching ( of course, I give myself some cinematic liberties🐷 )
For context, I am a grown woman, in a reasonably authoritative position, with a child, a loving spouse, living in a free society, working in a profession which has high impact on human life, but still Imlie's words about a girl's life being a safed kapada, which can be easily stained...... just hit me to the core and shattered me😭 And ASR's each and every word in response to that, is worth their weight in gold❤️ to be cherished forever and ever, to be assimilated by each and every one of us, young girls to grown women and live the life we rightfully deserve❤️🤗😭
I am going to be very emotional today as these words took me back to about 15-16 yrs ago, to my 20-21 yr old self😒. I am going to share a personal anecdote, not to bore you girls, but if useful for anyone, I am grateful. I had to break my almost engagement with a friend at that time and thought somehow that I was a a less than desirable person, somebody who had crossed this invisible line for young girls, the line is that to even think about any guy who won't be your husband in life with finer thoughts, is a big no-no.💔 When I was ready to move on and my family started bringing me info about other rishte, much to my ignorance and my family's annoyance, I insisted that I fully disclose my ordeal before I enter into anything. When I think back it was nothing really, a proposal came from a friend's family, this friend guy was a reasonable person, my parents liked their family and we were ready to move forward, when this friend started making unreasonable dikhats about choice of specialty, where and how. The guy went from being a friend who seemed to understand my likes and dislikes to a prospective spouse who could dictate and control. I was extremely miserable thinking about my future and confided with my late, beloved grandfather. I had my ASR in my grandfather🤗❤️ who sat me down and asked me this simple question: why do I want to disclose this nonentity at all to anyone? Because, it was an important part of my life🤔. He then said, you had many more important mile stones in your life, such a the joy and pride you brought us all by your achievements and by who you are ( I won't bore you with my qualities😃) These are important parts of your life too, why don't you disclose all this to anyone, but you want to focus on your one setback?
Bless his heart and soul, it opened my eyes 🤗. I guess being brought up in a society which has put forth untold, invisible norms impacts all of us, whether we belong to naive, unexposed, resource poor tribal background or progressive, contemporary households😭 How much ever I try to say, I have no shackles of the society binding me phir bhi dil toh Hindustani haina😎, it punched me in my gut.
What I am trying to get at is the words spoken by ASR about each of us having our own palette of colors is something we all need to believe in, cherish and hold on to in the face of whatever adversity or insults that come our way. ASRs are all around us, we might find them in bits and pieces👍🏼
Finally, Fahmaan had outdone himself as ASR today👍🏼 The conviction, the forcefulness with which he enacted the scene, the punch he packed into the words, the sensitivity he had shown to that broken, young girl, the gentleness with which he handled her, but still taking charge is out of the world❤️ He breathed life into the character ASR. Whoever ever doubted this young man's talents, please watch this landmark episode👍🏼 We complain about the writers and makers about everything, but when credit is due, I want to give it to them.
The writer who is writing ASR and the director who is conceptualizing ASR, please take a deep bow👏 You guys have a beautiful mind🤗 Fahmaan, the face of the show needs all the kudos🤗❤️ I am not sure if there is a way for these people to know how much of an impact this episode is due to have on a lot of young girls👏THANK YOU , TEAM IMLIE⭐️
I don't know if I am able to articulate what I wanted to say, but my heart is so full and emotional, I had to say something😭
I am tagging for impact factor...... please ignore if you don't want to read👍🏼
