[DD]Bingo! It is scary - right!! Well, finally after reading everyone's reaction, i have decided to experiment on myself...and I am very scared after the promo feeling!
First of all, it would be extremely difficult for me to even look at that person, let alone listen to their voice for a very long time. When you meet a person the first thing you connect with is their face, no matter how superficial it may sound, but that's the truth- your face becomes your identity. To be faced with a completely new face is like having another person in front of you, you can't think straight in that situation!
[DD] Exactly...Its not that u fell in love with the face...Its your reference point in ur system...You associate objects such as, your feelings, actions, memory etc to this reference point....A blind man does it to a voice, we do it to a face....If the reference points breaks, ur objects are left hanging and thats traumatic for a mind!
For Dutta, Naku's face will now always remind him of her betrayal, thus I completely understand why he has no desire to see her face ever again. Her voice will remind him of the sweet koyal Naku who he fell in love with, then reality will come crashing down on him and he will realise that kaali Naku never existed, it was all a lie. It's such a horrible situation to be in- no matter what reasons you have for lying, a lie is still ultimately a lie. It would be a gradual process getting over this all, realising that person you love is still the same, their characteristics are still the same. Yep, Dutta will realise this too, but it will take a lot of time- he loves her a lot, that is why the betrayal has cut him deeper. Thus, it will take even longer for this wound to heal.
[DD]👏👏👏👏
Beautifully explained!!! The only reference point he has to his love is Koel Naku's face, thats gone and then a strange face talks in same voice....Its like ur partner is dead and some other person is trying to remind u of ur partner...Its so distressing especially if the partner just died few minuts back!!!....
The whole scene where he was in denial, shouting that this girl could not be his Nakusha futher proves that his love was slipping out of his hands, he was desperate to hold on to that happiness- having to accept that this was Nakusha was accepting that his Naku had lied to him- and he couldn't take that. I wouldn't be able to take that too, I would be shattered.
[DD] Acceptign her as Naku would be bidding adieus to his reference point of love...That would immediately take him back to the same old dark and lonely alleys!!...and hence, he was trying to keep this nightmare away and begging for his old Naku!!!
Naku was like the image of perfection for him, despite her dark colour- she was the epitome of truth. Yet perfection, he now realises, was flawed- she wasn't perfect after all! She wasn't the epitome of truth that he had thought her to be, and fell in love with her for. But I'm still very much on both their sides. I feel for both of them- very tragic time for both of them.
[DD] 👏👏👏👏 Beautiful point...and I totally agree!!!...and that might be one more reason why he went into denial because he cant imagine his NAKU to be a liar!! she as well be dead and remain in his memories than be a liar!!
Great post!! Really had me thinking!
