True Love triumphs. Soulmates reunite. The end.
What breaks my heart is just how beautiful this love story was. From intense hatred to immense love. It's been quite a journey. Very short, yet beautiful journey. And the reunion in the rain symbolized EVERYTHING. Ever since their first meeting as adults, Dev as Advay did nothing but dictate Chandni's life. But once he made the transition from Advay into Dev, he was willing to walk away, giving her a choice. But no way was she going to lose him again. She ran up to him, jumped into his arms and showered him with love. Love that was caged by time and the past. Today it was set free. Lovers were set free.
The hopeless romantic in me had goosebumps. I felt the love! But I also can't help but feel bitter. Some wrong choices were made. This was the wrong medium. A dark and intense love story like this was never suited for a Desi TV Channel. It wasn't made for the TRP audience. Here I fully endorse fellow forum member Huma's view that it should've been on the web. That way the CVs could've taken liberties and shown THEIR story. THEIR way. I accept - Harneet is better suited to theatrics. She can't do dark. But I strongly feel that this story was never really suited for the box. But what can be done now. It is what it is...
But there were moments where the CVs got things right. And I appreciate them for it. There were some truly magical moments between AdNi/DevNi that will be etched in my mind and ingrained in my heart forever ❤️ They were captured superbly and were well enacted by our leads. And for that I am truly grateful to the writers and the entire team that put in such effort. Special mention to the writers for the dialogues. Some heartfelt, deep words. And at times light hearted. We got some wonderful, memorable one-liners. I won't forget!
Folks, I know my posts were always hopeful and nit-pick free, lol. And that irritated a lot of people! But I was never blind to the flaws. Yes there were flaws and I never denied this. But despite the show's issues, I loved it. From the very first episode to the very end, I remained a loyal fan and avid viewer of the show, and I shall always remain unapologetic about this! Ab kya kare. Jo such hai, woh such hai 😛 Even the pigeons couln't keep me away! 😆 So...yeah! 😆 Forum always remained divided. But we should appreciate the good as well because it was there!
But to be honest, I no longer care what the Trps said. Trps ka kya hai. Pyaar milna chahiye. And Advay/Dev and Chandni were showered with their own share of love and adulation, courtesy of Barun and Shivani's endearing chemistry and perfect portrayal of their respective characters. And THIS is what I'll miss the most. I first tuned in to the show for Barun Sobti. But I watched the final epi for BOTH Barun and Shivani. What a delightful onscreen partnership. The best that I've seen in a long LONG time. Natural, effortless and easy on the eyes And I thank these two from the bottom of my heart ❤️
I once read someone at the forum calling Advay Singh Raizada the average jerk. Sorry but I strongly disagree. All the rest of 4Lions MLs may have been jerks without a reason. But Advay had his reasons and although he was extreme at times, it was understandable due to his circumstances. He was a beautifully complex character that only Barun Sobti could play. I'm grateful to Gul Khan for convincing Barun to come back onscreen with this. This is arguably Barun's best performance to date and he nailed it to perfection.
Gul showed faith in Shivani Tomar and I genuinely feel she was proven right by this decision. No one else could've played Dev ki Chandu as beautifully as Shivani. So proud of how this girl faced abuse and hatred with grace and dignity. She has really grown as a performer and it's evident for anyone to see once the biased specs are removed 😛
I accept that the CVs invested in her character development too late. But a lot of the time I felt that some people used Chandni as a punching bag, for reasons better known to them 😛 CVs failed to develop important things such as Chandu's PTSD. But I'll always find Chandni to be so endearing. A young woman but child at heart. Desperate for love. lol, even then people criticized her decision to stay back and win over her Dev 😆 but she made the RIGHT decision. Ultimately one truth led to the wall dividing them to come crashing down. That hatred was only used by Dev to detach himself from Chandni. Everything else was a smokescreen. Dev always belonged to Chandni, and on some levels, he did even when he was Advay. From childhood companions to soulmates. They were always meant to be. Wandering for far too long. They finally found home...in each other ❤️
Is this the end of the world? No. But I do feel as though I've left something behind. I dunno. Guess I'm a hopeless romantic who enjoys spending time with fictional characters in a different world 😆 But that is the power of fiction. It entices you...pulls you in. 3 months or 3 years...all it takes for a person like me is a moment. And I connect. And I did 😳 Everything comes to an end. But this was far too soon, yaaron! From Monday onwards I'm going to feel homesick for a place that doesn't exist...
Yeh haseen dastaan bhooli bisri yaad na ban jaye. Isiliye dil ke sandook mein sambhaal ke rakhoongi. Hamesha ❤️
Thanks to all the lovely people that I met at the forum. You all know who you are and you're friggin awesome. And thanks for reading all my long, 2 rupees posts over the past few months 😆 I appreciate your time and kind words! Some of you know where to find me. And we'll remain connected :) Take care everyone. May nothing but happiness come your way! Khush raho, and my apologies if I have ever hurt or offended anyone.
🤗
And to those that have showered nothing but mind boggling hate the past few months. Seriously. We're all human. And that includes the actors you abuse. Choose your words carefully. Keep your hearts clean. Invest more time in the things you love :)
And that's it, folks. My last post ever. After tomorrow won't be returning to IF. Time to get back into the real world. Been spending far too long with fictional characters. Back to life. Back to reality!
