I think Elysia and Nishamehak have put into words waht we all feel about KDMH and what the last 30 episodes have done to us.
What was it the captured us so intently and passionly with KDMH?
Was it the setting?
Was it the story?
Was it the Family relationships?
Was it the chemistry between Rahul & Kakun?
Was it the combination of all?
Or was it something elusive that we can't put our finger on?
Whatever it was it captured us, tied up our hearts with theirs; whatever they felt we did too, when Kakun cried we did, when she hurt we did, when she and Rahul loved we did.
every emotion they went through we did, every change we accepted even if we did not like because WE BELIEVED that RaKun would remain forever, that love would conqueor all- or so we believed.
Like Elysia said for 70 odd episodes this was our hope, our dream, our belief nothing could take that away not even when Aman sat in the mandap with Kakun, the belief that any minute Rahul would stop the wedding, but it was not to be and from there began the pain, the disillussionment, the disappointment and the end of our RaKun.
Beautiful love stories like KDMH fall into 2 catergories for endings:
1. the tragic ending or 2. the fairy tale happy ending.
Most tragic endings in their stories there are moments or a brief time of happiness for the doomed lovers, it makes the tragedy more heart braking the contrast of such happiness to such pain.
Or in the case of the 2nd ending it is the opposite from much pain and suffering to intense joy and happiness.
So where does KDMH fall into? Neither!
In the beginning we have the beautiful love story between Anurag and Kakun and we thought it would Kakun family that would pull them apart, but for some reason Ekta had a change of mind and decided to shift everything; the love story, the places, the family.
So we now have a traingle Kakun-Rahul-Naina, and for Kakun it is the beginning of continious pain and humilliation- but she still believes in her love and WE believe in her love, we suffer her torments but like her we in our heart of hearts believe that her love will win out. After all this is to be the 2nd ending, the happy ending.
After pain and separation, united and together-right? Were we wrong!
All RaKun was left with, all we were left with was a muddle of emotions that made no sense. We had a plot which was slow and disjointed, which left us wondering and in dispair.
We had family disappearing, relationships gone and new people in without any reason to KDMH.
We had scenes in which Rahul showed no emotions for Kakun at all, no understanding of her. But we had scenes where he was so in tune with her, he knew something was wrong and he would say that he understood her, understood her eyes, her silence.
We were left confused, annoyed and angry for we had been patient, we had lived through all of it with them and we deserved more Kakun deserved more, RaKun deserved more but in the end we were all left wanting, with a bitter taste in out mouth when the truth came out- no great love ending, whether it be a great sad or happy love ending, Rakun are not going to get it.
What kind of ending will it be? Just an ending; Rahul riding into the sunset with his new love and Kakun in torment once again.
The last 30 episodes make a mockery out of love and relationships, all relationships not just that of lovers but of mother-daughter too.
The question begs to be asked if we could see all this so early on, couldn't they the writers see it? Or were they blinded by their egos in beinging able to do whatever they want and no consequence to pay?
But the consequence is paid by us the loyal fans and I also think in losing Aamir; the fact that he has been in so few scenes, the fact that the scripts have been poorly written especially after highly charged action before has played a part in his decision to leave the show.
I look forward to the leap for Abigail deserves her chance and 'Kakun' deserves her happiness I just hope that the lessons have been learnt.
