I have a choice - update my FF ... or answer here 😉😆 ... will do the second, because I'm in two minds after yesterday's episode ... and I took a break over the weekend, so I guess i can look at what is happening with SG from a bit of a distance ... and try to get a broader perspective ...
And my feeling is, that the CV's still haven't quite decided how to take SG forward ... either that, or it's bad characterization and poor writing ... because for the life of me, I cannot figure out what the Sajan relationship is right now ... and that's why I say, even the CV's don't seem to know where they are ... or are still figuring out how to go forward ... because, let's face it, this story would be very different from anything shown before in terms of the emotions involved - it would be a very complicated love story ... and to write such a story takes time, effort and thinking ...
Up until Look AT Me it was going perfectly ... although we argued about Gunjan's viewpoint, her reactions, we could see where she was coming from, we could see what was happening with Samrat ...
then through the Nupur re-entry and HSP track, Sajan were kind of maintained - in the background, but maintained - they were together to get Nupur back ... ignore that one dinner date, although now, even that doesn't seem that bad, except for the ring bit ...
the cornerstone of Sajan in Season One was trust and communication. In Season Two, that cornerstone was broken - the trust was gone, and there was no communication at all. Added to which, as Sona and I discussed yesterday - they are two different people in season Two - it is actually a GREAT opportunity to re-start their story all over again ... a story between a MAN and a WOMAN as we have been harping for some time. And even more interesting - a man and a woman with a past ...
But thats not happening as of now ... not consistently ... Sam is running behind the Gunjan of S1, and Gunjan thinks she's dealing with the Sam of S1 - they have to get to know each other all over again ... and now that nups is back, and the MN part is done, this process has just started ... or is yet to start ... I don't see it started at the moment ...
But then again ... it's been barely two days ... also, SG have just about started communicating again ... not with each other yet, but at least Gunjan is thinking about Samrat ... FINALLY ... Samrat has shown flashes of growing up, again inconsistently ... now that his guilt and burden is gone, let's see how he reacts ... I hope the grown up Sam does stay, and he tries to find the woman Gunjan has become rather than the girl he was in love with ... and same for Gunjan ... I agree with Sona, it's not a question of Gunjan's guilt, or realisation, because Samrat knows very well why she reacted the way she did ... and he always understood it too ... my problem is actually more with Samrat, why he's not giving her more time and space, rather than jumping on her - 'now that your sister's back, everything is ok' ... that's exactly what we DON'T want ...
In short (this is for you, Sona, cos am sure you won't read the whole post 😉) ... I'm not happy with the way it's going in terms of scenes ... but am willing to wait and see how they progress it ...
