It all started 9 months ago along the banks of Ganga , Viplav fell in love with Dhaani and me in love with the two . My affair continued as the two progressed , up and downs , highs and lows , rejoiced when they got together and cried when they parted . I watched and watched ever so hopeful that their love is strong and will weather all storms . And TODAY my spell was broken...Viplav lost Dhani and we , the sweet girl who played her. Alas ! the cruelty of fate.
Along their journey I started to believe that Mishal was Viplav and Eisha , Dhani . There was a thin veil between the actor and character . But isn't this true for any fiction that is ever written that the Character is greater than the Actor . Mr. Darcy is our own to imagine and so is a Mr Rochester ... Elizabeth and Jane can be any girl , someone who lives outside the confines of an actor who plays them.
Yet there are individuals who create a mark with their exemplary personification of the character . Marlon Brando will always be a Godfather and Clark Gable Rhett Butler... Well these are great actors and Eisha is nowhere near any of them nor is her Dhani legendary . She is just a 17 yrs old who was brave to take on a role that was apart . she is the hard working girl who stood with tall actors shoulder to shoulder , And now that she is moving on I am sad but also thankful that she made me root for her as Dhani . All my wishes to this dear lady Eisha. May all her dreams come true.
As for my affair, its not unlike of what Viplav went through hearing the news of the bomb . Shocked , devastated , desolate. Will I ever love another . Emotional attachments to a show in the future is a definitely NO , Will I watch further ... I will , at least for a bit Coz life moves on . Viplav needs to move on and so do I ..watching another actor play Dhani . My heart will weep and eventually time will heal the wounds. That's how life works.
Friends. I know we all are disturbed by the happenings of the past few weeks . They have been rough . The coming days may be worse till we get a sense where the show is going. Watching IKRS is your choice but I as your fellow viewer will ask to give it another chance and collectively we can move ahead.
Yes its an End of an Affair ...but a new beginning is round the corner as well. Will you be there ?
