Being a latecomer here of course this topic seems outdated... but i just want to pay a tribute to two of my favourite Characters Sammy and Nups😃 I just love them as individuals and as friends cum jiju-sali... I love them and always felt for them... I love the (mohit and rati) actors' acting as well... Just awesome... regarding other actors and characters, i would say i like all of them... in this order- dia, benji, uday, mayank, gunjan. among couples- mayur, benia, sajan. among actors- sanaya, arjun, navina, abhishek and jaskaran
anyway. am not comparing. am now turning to the topic of SaNu friendship- to whose friendship i have dedicated my new fan fiction to. i prefer to keep them as friends and not siblings. In Indian hindi language television MJHT seems to be the only show (if there are others, forgive me, i dont know abt them) where a platonic friendship between men and women remain so despite a bit of harmless flirting here and there, rivalry here and there, misunderstandings, dislikes, likes etc etc, such as majan, candy-sammy, benji-gunjan, benji-nupur, mayank-dia friendships. for me SaNu is special...
most indian shows end up showing friendships turning romantic! well that is not true always! ya pyaar comes after friendship or friendship after pyaar, but that is situational... i always believe that men and women can remain friends... i have known people like that...
that is one of the many things i loved abt the show...
anyway- SaNu.
At first Nupur and Samrat were not bothered about each other. After the series of pranks, one fine day one of the common things came up-- Gunjan. After much convincing, Samrat manages to take Nupur's help, and her impression of him became fixed.
After that, we saw a deepening bond, however few their scenes together were, the bond increased. Mayank next became the common topic... Slowly their support for each other grew. They understood each other's point of views quite well... Perhaps this is why Samrat always thought for Nupur when it came to Mayank and his conversation about the evolving Mayur relationship. The same goes for Nupur's thinking for Sajan and efforts to get Samrat and Gunjan together...
Their trust in each other was so deep that even others often could not understand them. I hated the creatives' treatment of SaNu relationship in the post mayur-marriage track. Misunderstandings can happen, but the way it was handled was too much to fathom- Only Mayank understood GuNur, SaNu, SaJan problems... I really wish there was a scene where there was a SaNu reunion... But as usual the friendship being a silent deep bonding, every misunderstanding got forgotten when Gunjan got shot. Nupur became protective about SaJan in the face of her father's doubts.
I loved their protectiveness towards each other, their show of solidarity etc. Their next stage of friendship of jeeju-saali bond united them. This bond was so strong that in season two it was apparent that they were lost without each other. She needed to reveal her identity without Majan knowing. He needed her the most, because without her, Sajan relationship and Sayank friendship were strained...
I really felt for Nups and Sam throughout the show, both seasons. Both were misunderstood. Both suffered a lot. Both had faced problem after problem. Both had troubles as well as good moments. But their friendship and support transcended so much that they evolved as winners. Majan ultimately understood Sanu's worth. (My opinion only- no offense...)
The show had several faulty tracks and mishandling of creative decisions. But the platonic nature of relationships outside the romantic relationships were awesome and the way it is...
and i loved it when SaNu hugged, crying and relieved, in that classroom, all their frustrations coming out, when Sammy discovered Nupur at her high point of distress... I was actually glad. I loved the way the camera moved towards samrat when dhruv said to nupur that he will see who stops him. It was an eternal short moment when the SaNu bond became extremely deep...
Samrat and Mayank maybe great friends, but the SaNu friendship had a deep foundation, which i loved. I will never compare it to other platonic friendships in the show, all are sweet and nice... SaNu is rather deep, unspoken, silent, and not-in-your-face and that is the magic of it...
The only part i hated was the GuNur misunderstanding track. I was with both the parties but at the same time it was unreasonable...
I thus dedicate my FF to SaNu firstly... then the others...😊
