The Power of L-O-V-E!

Disclaimer: Read at your own discretion.

We all have our own interpretation and expectations of what it means to be loved and what it means to love. As cliche as it may sound, my personal understanding of "love" in all its form is best expressed by the following statement: "if there is anything better than to be loved it is loving." With that in mind, one cannot deny that Buddha and Amma (for the unintiated, that is Jai Walia and Bani Walia) wholeheartedly understands this seemingly simply yet complex thought. The most endearing quality about the duffers is that in spite and despite any circumstance, more than being loved and having expectations from one another, their happiness is in loving the other (atleast that is my understanding of them when I see them glow like 16 year old Virgins in the presence of each other). For me, that is the height of selflessness and for some that may be the height of stupidity. Which ever end of the spectrum one find themselves, one cannot deny that this quality is the epitome of giving.

Some have cribbed when Bani trusted Buddha blindly post ONS and did not hesitate to tag her "stupid," "irritating," "maha," "Saint" etc. Now some are cribbing that Buddha is a "wimp," "spineless" and "over the moon." Excuse my ignorance, but I fail to understand the point of contention. I'm certainly not denying the fact that there were other avenues that could have been explored when he learned of Reptile's plans. I would however like to ask, what the point of contention is when the man is elated beyond understanding to know that his "love, his Bani" is back. What is the problem in expressing one's happiness?? How does this make one "spineless" and a "wimp"??

Love certainly can change people and Peeping Walia is one such testimonial. Here was a man who was arrogant, materialistic and shrewd. Now he's a man who has evolved into a loverboy who is content with his love and gives two shits about materialistic things such as a big house, car etc. From what I see, his state of mind is such that he would be content moving to Gujrat or Punjab and mind some buffalos as long as his Bani is with him. Whether this is for the better or the worse is debatable but we can all agree that both Jai and Bani are the epitome of what it means to give rather than receive. Am I wrong?? Would I be making too big of an assumption to say that loving each other is both the duffers biggest weakness but also their biggest strenght???

Lovely Post Bobo!!!

Im not worried about AD overtaking JW in KS in terms of a role. See despite what everyone is posting, I find it to be quite the opposite. From a man who felt he lost everything in life, suddenly becomes alive again after seeing his one true love alive and back to me does not mean character butchering. Of course they have to build up AD a bit- its necessary for the storyline, and they will have to do it at JWs expense. But you see, to say they are butchering JW, also means they are butchering BW. She is being used as a pawn and is blind to what is going on around her. They have to make him look good in a sense. So to me, he isnt being made as a joke. To me they are showing the more natural side to a man who just regained his life back.

See, if Bani takes away his property and money, he could care less. I find that to be the perfect reaction for someone who considers the woman he loves to be his life. He doesn't want the property… what could is it to him if he cant have the one thing he wants in life—his life partner? I wouldn't fear so much- and this is coming from a die hard JB Despo! They do this in each serial. In the end its this serial is JB not AD… eventually AD character will be butchered- just like every other character.. Lets just stay optimistic and keep screaming out what we want. It's the best we can do, in order to not voice our fears to them and give them any ideas.

Loved your post!!
Wholeheartedly agree with you. I am elated at this evolution of JW the relentless, business tycoon with an attitude into a man who has no qualms aabout giving up anything and everything for the love of his life!!! His happiness and utter elation on receiving confirmation that the feeling of Bani's presence, her being alive knew no bounds and was aptly reflected in RK's performance!

The same went for Bani during the alimony fiasco, when she risked her life (and her child's) to save JW etc. (am not saying what she did at the time was right or wrong because everything is debateable).

These two duffers will always and forever be made for each other and lay down their life for each other all in the name of LOVE!! They are and should be reserved and preserved for each other!!!

Isn't the type of selfless LOVE that JB have for one another be something to be envious of ???? Isn't that what we all strive for ???? That selfless LOVE shared by two people is what makes them true soulmates, isn't it? So, why ridicule him when he is moved by that love to give away all his materialistic things?

JB create the magic together not apart!!!

Nina
RK + PD = JB = KASAM SE!!!

JW's reaction on seeing Bani is very natural. A man who had lost purpose, meaning of life except for the symbol of his love, feels alive on seeing his love. Even though he knew in his heart that bnai is alive there was no basis to this belief. Now his hope is back. Now all he cares is to get his love back in his life. HE can give up all materialist things he has. They don't mean anything to him.

I don't thing he is a whimp. In fact didn't people complain about Prachi's nonreaction on meeting her kids for the first time. Same people would have cristisised JW for not reating enough.

Timmy,

All of the characters have in one way or the other been "butchered"...some more so than others. I for one do not think that showing this "man over the moon" side of JW further machofies any other character nor does it undermine JW's character.

Very well said! Jai is alive again, to him life has no meaning without Bani!

We have never seen such blatant display of Jai's love for Bani. In fact, to me, this display proves beyond doubt the Pia was never his love! Pia and Pushkar were just Jai and Bani's infatuations!!

It feels good to see the once arrogant man show his feelings for Bani without any hesitation or shyness. If to show love is being a joker, then I'm one too!!

Jai is actually caught between the devil and the deep blue sea! If he doesn't display his passion for Bani, then he's bashed, if he shows his enthusiasm, then he's bashed too!!

I think the creatives just wanted to show a man who doesn't care for material things anymore and who came alive on seeing Bani. Showing him maybe donating to a cause or talking to his sleeping children after meeting Bani would have been good too, but maybe the creatives wanted to make the scene look larger than life. Serials always tend to do this, unrealistic but sometimes this exaggeration is what movies and dramas are all about.

I think cos Jai and Bani are close to us, almost real, we don't like it when scenes not close to life is shown, but hey, fantasy is fine sometimes too. I'm sure many of us would like it if in real life our loved one gives away a car just for our sake!! 😆

I agree with you Rani, they both love each other unconditionally and that is their strength and biggest weakness. I have no complains about his reaction on seeing Bani but I just felt that it could have been more compassionate if the scene was taken with children rather than beggers.

About calling JW , spineless – it was never in regards to Bani or his love, at least to me…It was always about how he did not do certain things which would have prevented big disasters and would prevent one from future…I am already accepting that JW was made helpless due to his love and I don't blame him nor his love…but my only grouse is that since he lost his wife and he had an I-don't-care-for-anything-anymore attitude, why did he not try to do anything about Jigs and Karuna, if not Pia…because Jigs and Karuna are always a threat to JB and most importantly their children in future…

Creatives did not take that into consideration and projects him as only a lover boy rather than a father or a husband…I mean he is caring and stuff but much more than that and that is not being portrayed and that what I think is butchering of JW and making him look spineless…same goes for Bani for always getting into trouble because for her all that matters is Jai's happiness…

What to do, they are duffers after all but sweet duffers.😳

That rare love that we see Buddha and Amma have for each other is what makes us addicted to JB and hence we are self confessed JB despos !!!

And might I ad proud of it too!!!

People really should get their definitions straigt regarding the words wimp and spineless before using them!!!

(Not meant to offend anyonw!!)

Nina

I dont think there is anything wrong of showing his expression, joyto find the love of his life. RK did emote very well to express this feeling.

Yes Nina we are proud of being despos. No two ways about that! Most of us became addicted to JB the moment we laid eyes on them and saw how the screens sizzled as they brought their characters truly alive! I dont see JW as a wimp.. hes a man in love.. a man that will go to any lengths to be with the one he loves!
