But the bullet is not the only thing that wounded this tiger. That lighter and the music signifies some deep connection from his past. My obvious guess would be his wife. It's probably a token and a reminder of her. And even though that music gave him the strength to fight off his injury and get up, the loss of his wife has already left a deep wound within his soul that has left a permanent scar on his heart and mind. The mere mention of being scared to lose Sultan too shook Aryan and it gave Sultan more strength to fight for his life and live for his son.
Today's episode in a way symbolized that Madhubala will not only tend to the wound that the bullet left on his body, but also to the wound that his dreadful past left on his heart. I don't care if Sultan and Madhubala don't end up together, it's these moments that will make me cherish them forever!!
