Shabbir Ahluwalia- The Actor - Page 5

Thanks for this post and letting me know about it... That was a damn sweet post👏👏👏

I 1st saw Shabbo i guess 6 years back... when he came for an episode in Sanjeevani. I remembered him because the character he played was one of the fortunate few who was personally counseled by Dr.Shashank😳 I remember last scene very well, when he is leaving the hospital, Dr.Shashank called out for him and wished him luck... that smile is something that remains very fresh in my head even to date... at that i thought someone managed to get my attention when Dr.Shashank was on screen... he is def good😆. The guy was fab in that... he didnt seem intimated in front of such a senior actor and an intimidating character.👏👏

After than saw glimpses of him in Kyunki... he played the ideal Son/Brother/grandson... didnt catch my attention that much.

Then came Kahin tho hoga... When i saw him as Rishi Garewal... my 1st reactions were 'Inko koi aur nahi mila... Yeh kis angle se Sujal ka bhai dekta hai'😕😆 And to make things worse... me being a HUGE Bachchan fan i had a problem with him addressing his brother 'Big B' (It was during a time when Sujal hadnt taken over my senses😆) When Rishi was on screen... it was Rishi for me... I never reacted to the actor behind Rishi.. that was how much life Shabbo had put into Rishi. Rishi was a headache when he began(an entertaining one at that😆) he ruined my fave love story, had The Sujal Garewal twisted around his little finger... which i hated😡😆 I really cant place when Rishi won me over... but when he did, the reason was obvious... no matter what, he loved his Big B with everything he had... and that as a Sujalian was all that mattered. Never really related to Shabbir as an actor right then... because he was so Rishi... so cool, easy, spontaneous... there were typical kind of scenes he did. But there was this scene that hit me about Shabbir's acting ability and that he could be play the intense, brooding guy with equal ease... there was this scene... Where his is baby is badly injured and very critical... to watch him as a panic struck father when he saw that baby drenched in blood... and later in the hospital... when the baby was being treated, he sat numb in the corridor... that was heartbreaking... you have never seen Rishi like that before, that incident was a wake up call for Rishi, Rishi changed for the better... and that was the 1st time, i reacted to Shabbir as an actor. I couldnt believe what I saw... esp because that scene came after a year. Another scene where Shabbo excelled and made it all the more painful for me was the scene where he lit Sujal's Pyre.

I have been in a lot of trouble because i used support Rishi a lot... my friends used to scold me for being blind towards him... they all had one thing to say... he is a brat, a rotten one at that😆 my friends had given up on me and Rishi... But i always knew that Rishi was Sujal's baby and I couldnt hate him for anything. It was a matter of time and Mehak & Roshan coming back into his life... and he will give up his life style and settle down to make a loving, happy and safe home for them. The scene that you have posted is actually what i dreamt for Rishi for 3 years... and to see that materialize beyond your expectations... was a different experience all together. I will hate Ekta all my life for having killed Rishi, just when he actually knew what he wanted in life. I have seen so character's end on TV and Films... the most memorable one was Rishi's... It was heartbreaking, yet very Rishi like to raise a toast to his own life and death in the end. Rishi has always been a fearless guy and he remained unconquered even by the fear of death... it was the most consistent character and to have lasted that long esp in a BT show... is an achievement. It is probably clear that i love Rishi too much, more than Shabbo perhaps... but Rishi couldnt have been Rishi without Shaboo... and no matter what he does in life... Rishi Garewal will remain my fave character for life. 😃

Then he took to anchoring with Nach Baliye... it came as a surprise to me... It used to be so difficult to get him sit down and give a proper interview... he used to always run away when a unit went to the sets of KTH... Rajeev & Amna used to manage to hold him for a sound byte and then he would disappear, he was that shy😆 We were pretty nervous about him hosting... but he proved to be a charming, easy, entertaining, engaging and most of all an encouraging host.👏

I have never felt euphoric towards Shabbo... but slowly and surely over the last 6 years he has grown into almost a part of my life. Till Kayamat started... it used to hurt a lot to see that he has never got his due.... he was such a fab actor and it was disheartening to see him in show after show being a part of the supportive/special appearance cast. Kayamat came and it changed everything... he was finally in the lead... getting most of the attention his way. If i start about Milind Mishra, i will never end... and there is nothing that i havent said in the last year about him that i will say now... all i would say is that Milind Mishra is by far his Best work👏👏👏 and coming to the forum day after day in the last one year... and see kind of adulation he gets... it is so satisfying... this is something i always wanted for him... and today to read this post... i cant tell how proud i feel of him.

That is not where my dreams for him end... He has stepped into films... I want to see him in Good movies and in a substantial role... I think i have had enough of seeing him amidst 10-12 people... With the kind of talent he has... he needs to explore other avenues, he needs to grow as an actor, learn so much more in this medium and that can happen only if he open to work out of the BT camp.... with different people... I hope to see Rajeev and Shabbo together on the big screen... creating magic like they did on the small screen.

May God bless him with the opportunities and success his talent and hardwork surely deserves.😃
Before i end... Here's wishing everyone a Very Happy Friendship Day! Love you all 🤗

Beautiful post Ryka, I LOVED reading it and felt sorta nostalgic in a strange way.. becoz, it brought back memories of KTH, and the character Rishiiii... and OMG how could I even forget about Rishi? I liked him a lot too, u can even say I like his character almost equally compared to Milind but I didn't watch the programme consistently.... The thing I liked most about Rishi's character was the, how do I say this, the journey he took in the show, basically its the development his character went through.... His character was one of few 3-dimensional characters on the show, u couldn't just classify him as a horrible god-awful person or an extremely good person... and I loved the way they made his character grow. This is one thing which annoys me about most indian tv programmes... after a guy goes through a serious experience, how on earth can they show him to be stilk the fun-loving guy he was before???... That wasn't the case with Rishi he changed and changed and showed us new facets to his personality... plus his transition made sense. His character never remained static throughout... I think thats way his character stood out to me... because he was the one few characters that was colourful and well-etched out plus his character development made for a very intriguing and compelling story. 👏 I think one scene that remains in my head, is the scene where I think Mahek is trying to have another kid... and Rishi appears in ghost form, almost like an angel, to give Mahek the kid... sorry am a bit hazy with the details, this was for sure after Rishi's death... and I remember his bright smile on seeing his kid..... that was so beautiful....

Anyways credit goes to Shabbo for portraying Rishi with ease, because it aint easy to make the transition from negative to positive, but Shabbo managed it effortlessly.

@Ryka,
Thanks a ton for your reply. 😊
This thread would never have been complete without your words.
I so much wanted to read this dear. I knew you will write something like this. I always have seen that genuine admiration in your posts for this actor. You understand him the best... Loved to read your post as always....

@Minu- Thanks dear, I am glad u liked it.

@Sonia - That was so beautiful written about Rishi, dear. Yup... there was always growth in a certain sense in Rishi... it started in small ways... it has been very smooth transition... at no point in time, i felt the change in Rishi was so much that I couldnt relate to him. A sense of responsibility creeped into him when he saw the kind of web his Big B was caught in(never mind the fact that his Big B knew what he was getting in to😡) There was a phase when he realised what he had lost having lost Mehak and Roshan... and that feeling remained though he never showed it... until the time they came back into his life. And when he finally became the good guy... there were no surprises or shock... it was plain satisfaction and happiness for him, Mehak and Roshan. I always felt you are in serious trouble if you love Rishi... but if Rishi loves you... you got to be one of luckiest... because even if he worked in a weird way, his love has always been unconditional. Sujal has slapped him, disowned him, stayed cold to him for months... but not once did Rishi find fault in Sujal or was upset with him, his love for his Big B was never challenged.... he fought tooth and nail to protect Sujal from Kashish's evil intentions. Even with Mehak and Roshan it was like that, he has always loved Mehak (because when he said that as his last workds, u believe him) The few months that he got with her... he made up for all the trauma he put her through... who would have imagined a guy who never came home for dinner, would one day stay awake in the night to watch his preg wife sleeping and would himself cook something for her and feed her. And who could imagine the self proclaimed devil would return as an angel to be with Mehak to ensure a safe delivery... You are right, that scene was his last appearance on KTH... and what made it special was his peaceful, serene radiant face when he said 'Beta huha hai... Mera beta' and they named that kid Rishi😃 Awwwww i am missing him so much now... what would be different if Ekta had allowed him to be with his family😡😭 Ekta was contemplating a sequel to KTH a year back... God knows if she still has such intentions... if she does then may be Shabbo will be Roshan. It will be fun to see him as Roshan... I think Roshan was more like Mehak... he was a very silent, soft spoken kid.

@Shubha - Thank you for making this post... he pleasure was absolutely mine😃
