Hey all this is my first post on this forum'so HEYA!!! I have been following Madhubala since a couple of months and have been a fan and a silent reader since. Their story is unraveling amazingly and I am just getting engrossed in the Junoon as well as the Ishq'.DVD are just amazing and the CVs are doing a fabulous job'.keeping the intensity going for 3-4 weeks continuously isn't an easy task '.and they have managed to do so with finesse'.anyways'u all know this'there are umpteen number of posts on that already'.so why come out of my self-induced silence'.well nothing too great'but I was just analyzing Madhu's and Rk's past and the similarity just caught me'.
Both of them have faced similar situations in life'but there is a small difference'.it's as if they are mirror images of each other'on the surface they look same'but the right is left and left is right:
- Madhu's biological father wanted to kill her and hated her and hence she hates him as well. RK's biological father loved him and nutured him and so did RK.
- Madhu lives because the biological father believes she is dead and hence they are separated. RK's biological father died and so did the innocent little Rishab.
- Madhu's strength is her mother, as she defied the world for her little angel. RK's weakness is his mom, as she succumbed to the world and married an excuse for a father. A step father who needs saving. Though both the mothers are sweet, Paddy is strong, whereas Radha is weak.
- Madhu has been blessed with a step dad, who loves her more than his own life. And she sacrificed herself for his well-being. RK has been cursed with a pompous step dad, who just commands respects, but doesn't deserve any. Given a choice RK would love to destroy and insult him, but his weakness (read mom) prevents him from doing so.
- Madhu loves her step-sibling, so much so that she considered her sis's dreams more important than her own life (engagement). RK loathes his step-sibling. Trishna and Sikandar are kind of alike'they are opportunist and jealous of their step-siblings success. But, I think Trishna has some self-respect in her and is courageous (Balla's blood after all). Whereas Sikandar would love to butter-up RK, but he knows that RK would never help him. Moreover, he is a scardy cat (as is obvious from the kukad incident)
- Another similarity pointed out by Shridevigaddam - Madhubala birth place is the film's set itself. Her birth was realized and celebrated in totally filmi style. She grew up in close association with this world. Yet she did not want to make films part of her life/dreams in any manner. She did not need films to find happiness.Superstar RK on the contrary not born on film sets, but he made it his dream to become a star. He found happiness, power and everything missing in life through the films...
So, the ingredients are the same, yet the recipes are different and so is the flavor. 😊 It will be fun to see how this concoction of ingredients tastes in the end. It is obvious that Rishbala will grow closer as they tread each other's paths in life and finally when they totally understand each other their paths will merge forever!!!😳
