I was about to go off to sleep when reading your post, so thought to reply before leaving 😆
You analysis is nicely done and it mirrors exactly my own thoughts - especially regarding Nisha-Viraj, I have to agree with you. This love was always one sided and Viraj's sudden realization of his love just didn't sound convincing to me. It came out of the blue, so to say.
"If you ask me, Viraj is an insecure person with unstable emotions and immense trust issues. He also possesses an ego greater than his self, which was the cause of the entire fiasco that separated him from his so-called love...which honestly never tugged at my heart."
Yes, Viraj definitely has trust issues and emotionally, he's anything but stable. He needs to sort these issues out before he's ready to enter any relationship - otherwise, they will always come in-between all his relationships might they be romantic or his family. About his ego: He's always been proud to be royalty and now, pushing him into this situation which is emotionally charged for Viraj, we see how deep this pride runs- it comes out in the form of ego. Of seeing himself above others- in this case, Kabir.
I wouldn't say that this alone was the reason for the mess that separated him and Nisha as they both are not to be blamed for PC. But for whatever happened before that/afterward, they both can and are to be blamed - Viraj mainly for not even once thinking about the whole situation with a rational mind, not even when he went away and had time to do so, hence he never listened to Nisha. And also, when he realized his love for Nisha, the PC incident suddenly didn't matter - it only came back full-force when he saw Nisha with Kabir. It makes me wonder why that is so. Was it really Viraj's ego that made him push away Nisha even after he confessed to himself that he loved her?
I'm liking it how the CVs are showing sides of Viraj which have been hinted at earlier, way before his fall-out with Nisha (like during the Shekhar track) - hence, I'm not that shocked to see this shades of him 😆
"Kabir, is kind of the younger version of Ramesh, he is water that takes the shape of the vessel..with kids he is a kid, with cousins he is like a cousin, with elders he is mature and serious...adaptable..."
This is what has many loving Kabir even if they haven't prefered any specific pairing before. We also compared Viraj to Dadaji and Kabir to Ramesh and their respective roles in Nisha's life. Not to forget the sweet bond that is developing between Ramesh-Kabir - I always sensed, since the moment Kabir met his sassurji, that this bond will be something special, a sign, something very important and significant in Nisha's life..
"Nisha wanted to carve a path of self-discovery for herself, and ended up getting married to him...that might be the answer to her questions, but she chose to avoid it, but the truth would not leave her alone, so it came before her again and again forcing her to accept it..."
Well said. I agree, their marriage was accidental and they both never accepted it, though I always thought that Nisha took it more seriously than she admitted (with the Flashback of the meaning of sindoor and later, refusing Umesh to clean the color on her head and thus, her sindoor) and also, I feel that Kabir is slowly starting to accept this marriage, as well (turning point: him missing his mom on his wedding day. Had this been a complete joke to him, he wouldn't have even thought about his mom). The circumstances were unfortunate and what they have decided, now, is foolish but - some things happen out of a reason. Sometimes, God puts people into our lives and we need time to understand why that is so.
A marriage based on love is never a guarantee for a happy, successfull married life and similarly, a marriage without love (but mutual respect and deep friendship) is not automatically doomed. Love is one thing and marriage is another.
"And strangely, Kabir repeatedly stresses on the point, that 'main pyaar ke liye bana nahi hoon', but himself does stuff, that makes you question, is he doing it as a friend or lover?..trying to know every small detail of Nisha's life, what makes her sad or happy...which friend really does that, and why does it matter so much to him, what Nisha feels or wants?...Is he really not made for love, or is he not aware that he is already in love is the question... and answer will come three months later..."
As I mentioned above, subconsciously Kabir is already accepting this marriage - he's getting attached to the GF, he cares for them and most importantly, he cares for Nisha. And as you said, all the things he had done and is still doing, there was no need for them, at all. Friends don't go to such extents for each other, at least not if you have known each other for only such a short amount of time.
And you know, Kabir insisting that he could never fall in love - I always have to laugh at that 😆 Never say never, darling 😉 He thinks he's not husband/lover/damaad material and he'll prove himself wrong, in fact, he already is proving himself wrong.
"Coming to the conclusion, I personally feel that there are many people who come and go in our lives...some whom we claim to 'love' as well...but there are some called 'soulmates' for a reason.. where one half of the soul is in Nisha and the other half is with Kabir...they might not know each other for years...yet are intensely drawn to each other..."
Only one thing to add: Sometimes, we've known people for years and still, feel like we don't know them, at all. And sometimes, we just met someone and it simply clicks.
So, and now, I'm off to sleep! Awesome analysis, dear! 👏
