LOVE Your reference @Arshi67! 👏 Who can forget the famous line ...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.'

A key tenet of Ms Austen's stories...which will surely become a major theme in this show in the upcoming days as well! 😊

The last two episodes were really really good...

The dialogues and the style of story telling in yesterday's episode reminded me why I had fallen in love with Gul's SKD 5 years back.

I am loving the flirty ASR & confident Chandni and I hope it only gets better & better from here.😛

Sush ,

Loved, loved your post 👏 Jane Austen , one of my favorite author's 😛

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

~ Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Lovely post, Sush. 😳

Shwetsji ke collages as usual- 👏

I loved yesterday's episode. Really crisp.Skipped Monday's.

Must say Gul has successfully planted the virus in my head.😆

So happened, I watched the episode after the duppatta burning - that entire episode was done very well too.

I hope they don't drag again. Everything seems perfect just now.

Loving Barun has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began.*

But I really hope that someday, someday, I'd be allowed to tell him how ardently I admire and love him.*

200 years and yet everything she wrote all but adds the spark, intensity and dignity to every quote. There's a subtlety and grace. There's an adorable vulnerability and admirable determination - a combination that just leaves you enchanted.

Every word and instance. Every reaction and characterization. Everything of Jane Austen and her works, forever lives, a little more than it has yesterday, a little less tan it will tomorrow.

Thankyou for this beautiful post, yaar.

Its just..wow.

Bringing Jane Austen and Barun under one post, weaving them subtly over Pride and Prejudice.. This feels like drinking hot chocolate on a freezing Winter night.

"To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect

Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen

Ah and this is where I begin. I have been penning down tributes to the lady who brought forth the idea of love and hate romanticisation to the world through her books and my top of the mind recall for the analogy I drew for the show from her stories was mostly from Sense and Sensibility, one of my favourites from Ms. Austen, a story of the three Dashwood sisters and with Sobti eerily reminding me of Edward Ferrars and Colonel Brandon with his portrayal as Advay/ Dev. Needless to say that the one's who held my interest like no other were Indrani who depicts a modern day Mrs. Dashwood/ Mrs. Bennett and the man whose phenomenal talent has taken the viewers by storm, Sobti as an Edward/Darcy. And your post could not have been better for a show that has turned out to be similar in more ways than one to Ms Austen's depiction, both in terms of the story and the characters.

"Some mothers might have encouraged the intimacy from motives of interest, for Edward Ferrars was the eldest son of a man who had died very rich; and some might have repressed it from motives of prudence, for, except a trifling sum, the whole of his fortune depended on the will of his mother. But Mrs. Dashwood was alike uninfluenced by either consideration. It was enough for her that he appeared to be amiable, that he loved her daughter, and that Elinor returned the partiality. "

Mrs. Dashwood, Sense and Sensibility

And at this juncture I would pause and applaud the makers for a fantastic turn around to a show that seems to have been resurrected from the dead. at least for me, in all the sense of the world. What brilliant set of episodes this week, be it the performances, the narration, the crisp direction, the pace or the chemistry, you name it and its there. The show has finally made its mark and paved way for a beautiful story telling of two flawed people who would find love amidst the dark clouds that surround their lives and the sense of better judgement.

But what deserves a mention is the man who has kept me hooked to the show from the word go. Mr. Sobti has reached phenomenal heights of exuding his dormant talent that has erupted like a volcano this week and he seems to have outdone himself in terms of emoting and acting prowess. Indeed, the show has had two instances of comparing him with the man who turned around the face of indian movies, Mr. Bachchan, and for me Sobti is the Bachchan of Indian television, lo and behold.

"I come here with no expectations, only to profess, now that I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is and always will be...yours.

Elinor, Sense and Sensibility

Whether its his eyes that convey the pain and the joy or his voice that modulates with the scenes that he is enacting, exuding the anger or amusement, he has proved his mettle as an actor yet again and with exceptional finesse. Advay, the man whose pained by his past and is now willingly walking into the trap he has laid himself, will soon find himself caught amidst a gamut of interwoven emotions that both, trigger and contradict each other. Strange that within him lie the two very strong etched vulnerable sentiments, love and hate, one that is ruled by sense and other by his sensibilities, will lead to the culmination of his love tale with his foe and friend, both. And while we arent really heading towards the disclosure of Advay/ Dev's feelings at the outset, we are going to be dwelling deeper into his mind wrt the marriage that he has proposed to his impending mate. And with the upcoming track it will be interesting to see how Dev takes precedence over Advay, burning the man with conflicting desire and revenge for the lady he seems to have written off but doesnt know that she indeed is the one who holds the serenity, calm and light (moonlight) in his otherwise dark and auburn life.

"I never wish to offend, but I am so foolishly shy, that I often seem negligent, when I am only kept back by my natural awkwardness."

Edward Ferrars, Sense and Sensibility

And equally interesting amidst this will be to see the fair maiden, our Elinor, Chandni, reach out and pause to introspect the feelings that a mere stranger or an old friend evokes in her.

"I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own. He must enter in all my feelings; the same books, the same music must charm us both."

Elinor, Sense and Sensibility

Truly the beginning of a phenomenal week/ show and your post was just the cherry on top. Fantastic post, Sush. 👍🏼

@Shweta beautiful collages yet again. 😃

Love the above remark.

Though S&S is not my most favourite Austen work [I prefer -Persuasion-] I have always admired Elinor Dashwood. Admired her as having the Heroine qualities I would wish to display if I was tested as she was by the LucyEdward problem.

And your remark helps me see Chandni in a new way.

I confess, I have been struggling to enjoy the show fully because I find the characterization of Chandni wildly inconsistent. But I get it now. She is a blend of Elinor/Marianne. Practical and stoic as a result of being wounded, or rather stunted by tragedy, YET she is essentially a romantic, naive, idealistic young woman. In other words, she requires an Edward Ferrars but is for now going to receive the test that a Willoughby brings.

Persuasion was one of a kind, I admit, I loved it too. However, for this show I picked S&S, one of my favourites but not the most favourite. S&S here just fits the bill perfectly, for the lack of better words, imo. Ms Austen's stories otherwise do make her immortal and evergreen, keeping her alive through her exceptional writing and story telling, even today.

You are not the only one my friend, I have been dealing with a sense of dissatisfaction at the portrayal and narration of Chandni intermittently. But the last two episodes have reaffirmed by belief that she indeed is the Elinor, and I hope the makers continue with the same characterisation.

Its interesting you say that Chandni is a blend of the two sisters- Elinor and Marianne. To me, they were different, however, I feel that Chandni is Elinor, behind that battered and withered little butterfly lies a girl whose only seeking love and nothing else in return. And I absolutely adored her sense and sensibilities when she was confronted with a 'Lucy' , with her Edward in tow. I know there isnt any Lucy yet, but I am not going to put it past the makers to not bring in a Lucy later and for once I feel it could be the sister who seems too besotted by the new stranger in the house. Just a hunch, but Lucy is definitely round the corner.

And I do hope that the makers live upto the expectations they have set this week and continue with the same rigour because for once I would like to be reminded by them that there is perhaps only one Edward Ferrars for an Elinor Dashwood, only one Colonel Brandon for a Marianne Dashwood and only one Captain Frederick Wentworth for an Anne Elliot.
