There is something about Rehaan IMP. Note Pg 6

Disclaimer: People who love Rehaan please don't read this as this might hurt your sentiments. But if you are like yes I do love Rehaan but I will try to read this post with open mind and give constructive opinion rather than bashing the TM and others who agree with it. Then you are more than welcome

So As I was saying there is something about Rehaan which makes me dislike him. It seems that CV's just don't understand which way to send Rehaan. I know this have been discussed umpteenth times but still I felt like making a post for my satisfaction so Lo here I'm making one.

The initiative of my post is to try and understand Rehaan's character and decipher him in best possible way.

Rehaan can't continue playing attorney to both Angel and Devil. The sooner he chooses a side the better it would be for everyone, including Tanveer. On one side Rehaan refers to Aahil as Bhai and can clearly see that how Tanveer is playing him like Puppet and he can see that how wrong his Ammi is. He clearly dislikes his Ammi's greed for wealth. But then why doesn't he do something about it.

I know he tried telling his Mom that he is not interested in the wealth but, it sounded such a feeble attempt. He is like "Ammi, do you really want this and would this make you happy??" Tanveer answers in assertive of course and Chalo he keeps quiet and lets his Ammi do all the dark deeds that she wanna do without bothering about it. If he has such strong sense of differentiating right from wrong then why doesn't he voice his opinion strongly. If once Tanveer doesn't listen then try saying it again and again and again. Till she gets it. If she still continues with her dark deeds then simply expose her in front of Aahil. Then it's upon Aahil to believe him or not. That is another story. If Aahil continues to be fool enough to trust Tanveer even after Rehaan's warning then so be it. But atleast he should do that for Tanveer's sake.

B'cos all this continous dark deeds of Tanveer is leading her to her own Grave. B'cos a person who has done so much of wrong can't have happy ending. Rehaan can clearly see that how Tanveer is wrong and Aahil is being played why doesn't he atleast try reforming her Mom. After all there is a popular saying that "Child is the father of the man"

A girl who saw her father smoking puff day in and day out. One day said Daddy please stop smoking, b'cos it does not only affects your health, but it takes a toll on my health too as your continous smoking has turned me into Passive Smoker and I fall ill too very often. And I love you a lot so don't wanna loose you to Cancer. Please quit for my Sake. After that the Father quit smoking for the sake of his child when he realized that his bad habit is hurting his child.

Tanveer too loves Rehaan and doing everything for his sake. Rehaan should again and again try telling her that Ammi what you are doing is wrong.

My Mom has this bad habit of gossiping and forming a prejudiced opinion about a person without knowing them well. This naturally irks me and I do reprimand my Mom b'cos I know she is wrong. It does not mean that I don't love my Mom and don't respect her. It just means that I love my Mom too much and just wanna make her see things in new way according to the changing world as her thinking sometimes is of Old School. So it's our duty as loving children to tell off our parents when they do something wrong. As parents can't be right always.

Rehaan can very well see Tanveer has turned Blind in her Greed (No Pun Intended) But still he remained to keep quite even after Tanveer tried destroying Three Lives Sanam, Aahil and Rehaan by swapping the Bride. Well that's another thing that SaHil were meant to be a couple and Aahil loves Sanam. But had Rehaan proposed to Sanam and had Sanam excepted it. Wouldn't it be like ruining three lives with unwanted marriage. As itself she tried to force Aahil in unwanted marriage with Nida. Even that was wrong and Rehaan could see it and even questioned his Mom, but why was he not firm enough to tell her that stop ruining Aahil Bhai's life just to get wealth for me. Since you are doing it for me, I don't need the wealth. Please stop it. But instead Rehaan was happy when he thought that Nida has said "Qubool Hai" but he got hurt when lightening struck him, as he learned that it's Sanam the girl he loved who got married to Aahil and not Nida.

When he decided to leave after SaHil's marriage he should have left o teach his mother a lesson, that what would be the consequences of playing with other's life and to make her realize that she is hurting her own son in process and is it worth the whole property in the world gained at the cost of own child's broken pieces of heart. Instead he once again trusted his mother and decided to stay back and wait for Four Months to get over. I don't know what was Rehaan thinking. Did he too take MArriage as Joke?? To be easily broken and what made him think that Sanam after Four Months period would get out of Bad marriage and immediately jump into marriage altar and get ready to marry Rehaan conveniently forgetting her marriage to Aahil as though nothing happened at all??

Later when Aahil tried to clear the confusion with Rehaan in the office he lashed out at Aahil saying that he shouldn't have got married to Sanam as though it was Aahil's fault??!! I mean come on Rehaan himself confessed later on that Aahil is being played by Tanveer then what was the point of Shouting at Aahil as though Aahil was the person who forced Sanam to marry him like Arnav did to Khushi??!! Why didn't Rehaan then open his mouth and tell Aahil about Tanveer's true intention

Why Rehaan kept on lamenting over Sanam even after she being married to Aahil. I know he thought that SaHil's marriage has no meaning. But Dude couldn't you wait till she gets out of this marriage. (Which obviously she wouldn't as he has learned now) I can understand Rehaan still sticking to Sanam after marriage. But I just can't understand his POV of remaining mum and not stopping his Mom to continue the madness. He should have plainly told her that he is leaving the house forever as he do not appreciate his Mom trying to play with people's life for the sake of property.

Had Tanveer listened to him or not is another story. But he should have taken initiative to warn Aahil about true intentions of Tanveer. If not Aahil then atleast Sanam as the poor girl has the right to know that she is being played for the sake of property which is not gonna reach the true owner i.e., Aahil anyway. I think, I may be wrong but I think Sanam somewhere owned Aahil for saving her life twice so she tried repaying him by letting him gain the property which is rightfully his by marrying him. I know while signing property only Tanveer's voice was echoing in her head, but as of now Sanam is not aware of true intentions of Tanveer, she still thinks that Aahil would be getting the whole property.

So this was my rant about Rehaan's character and the loop holes in it. Well every character does have one. But Rehaan at one time is shown with so much of clarity in his mind, but next instance he is shown as mere spectator who is not interested weather someone whom he loves and adores so much getting hurt indirectly does not makes sense.

Sorry net problem did not do it purposely. Edited.

My take on Rehan which I posted for someone else's positive post on Rehan yesterday.

I don't think ANY one in the forum actually dislikes him. What is not to like about him except that he hasn't stood up for Ahil yet and is being a spectator to what his Ammi is doing. which can be explained as a humanly flaw of loyalty to his mum and also not knowing what to do under the circumstances. NEVERTHELESS it is a WEAKNESS in character that he is not able to or unwilling to do so.
I also feel that he is not standing up for Ahil because despite that he considers Ahil as a brother, he does not feel THAT strongly for him. We can see that he did not show that much emotion when Ahil was dying in hospital considering that he tears up easily for people he really cares about like Sanam and Tanveer.
So for me though I understand his position IT STILL does mean that he is WRONG for being a silent spectator to all this.
IN short Rehan is the TYPICAL GOOD GUY that every one would love and understand and excuse the character weaknesses.

Thank you so much for this post, Tia. All the Rehaan jaap in this forum was getting to me. Frankly, people lose all objectivity when it comes to bechaara Rehaan. :P I would have made a post on similar lines but I can't make topics cause of WL. :(

Anyway my thoughts on Rehaan:

Frankly I think that Rehaan is a a very weak character because of the fact that he stands idle and is a bystander in his mom's schemes. I do understand Rehaan's conflict because he is loyal to his mom and doesn't want to give a huge shock to Aahil. Nevertheless, it IS a weakness in character that cannot be overlooked. He has also said things like he puts up with Aahil because of his Ammi in the past and when Aahil was in death bed he wasn't too unhappy and was more concerned for Sanam. That is why I think he is a very weak character. He had a chance to claim Sanam and confess his feelings but he lost that. And people say he sacrificed his love for Aahil. What sacrifice? What love? A one-sided love that was never his to begin with?

No offence to anyone but I think a lot of people only sympathise with Rehaan because of his cute face. ^_^ And the fact that he is so seedha sadha. That's what makes many overlook his faults. He still harbours feelings for Sanam in his heart. That's one thing I don't hold against him because it is quite hard to get over your first love (though I am not convinced and think he is merely under infatuation). How exactly do you fall in love with someone over a 2 minute conversation? . Love is much deeper than that. And the fact that he compared Sanam with Seher only alludes to the fact that he will continue doing just that, that is anther reason why I cannot get myself to like them (SeHaan).

I also don't like how he is always mopey and sad, in short rotlu. Quoting his line- "Aahil bhai doesn't love me. Ammi doesn't love me. Sanam doesn't love me." I understand that he thinks that he has been deprived of the love that he deserves but what is the need for the constant bechaara face and crocodile tears?

If you think on that tangent, then even Aahil didn't get the love he deserved. Does he feel indebted? No. I don't think I ever heard him say that "No body loves me" line and mope about like Rehaan despite the fact that both were and are equally starved of love. I'm only comparing to draw out the differences and illustrate my point of view, not for any other reasons. That is why I don't sympathise much with the Rehaan character. Though I do sympathise with him because he has been made to leave the house but not for much else.

The only reason why many want SeHaan is because they want to relive AsYa vicariously through SeHaan (not saying that there is anything wrong with that). Personally for me SeHaan don't hold a candle to AsYa and I am bored of that kinda love story...

👏great post

I agree with SheAish, also Rehaan does not know that his Ammi has killed people.

I never said that people dislike Rehaan. I said I Dislike Rehaan for so and so Reason.

@ Bold. I almost forgot this. Thank you so much sweety for reminding me of this incident.

Rehaan in initial episodes was like "Aahil Bhai you are not bad, stop punishing yourself. You are a good person Aahil Bhai" Telling Sanam "Aahil Bhai is very good Human Being he has heart of Gold, He just appears to be tough from exterior but he is all mushy at heart. He is not that as person once you know him"

And suddenly when Aahil is in hospital he is like You can go to hell Aahil Bhai I don't give two hoot about it. All I care is for Sanam. If you see the scene where Rehaan reaches the hospital with Tanveer. He is in so much of Hurry to reach out to Sanam that he left Tanveer's hand asap and went to Sanam the moment he saw her. If it was actor's flaw or character's portrayal I don't know. But it made me laugh. Sometimes it feels like Rehaan only cares about his happiness. Yes his conscious does wakes up and he voices out his opinion on the bad happening around him. But his attempts are feeble. It's like Yes I care about Aahil Bhai, but not that much. Yes I care about Ammi but not that much. Yes I do not want that property but let things happen the way they are going. Either he is too confused or he couldn't bring it in himself to care more about the situation or he is just too much of a simpleton who fails to understand and analyze the situation around him.

Yeah, I agree with you on all the points, but the thing is, ive never actually had much of an interest in Rehaan apart from thinking that he was an adorable little thang before the SaHil marriah, I don't know why to be honest- maybe its because of the amount of time I invest in loving Aahil? Idk.

I'm not bashing the character or anything, seriously, and I love shehzad, he makes me vomit rainbows, he's adorable <3

I just don't get what the creatives want to do with Rehaan's character, whether they want for him to grow as a character in the show or if they want to keep him as someone who is there to tie up loose threads that the creatives don't know what to do with.

Oh that point- Rehaan not telling Aahil what Tanveer is doing, what she's been doing to him- pisses me off so much.

Ugh! Rehaan dude, he's your brother bb, his life is already f**ked up as it is, don't let Tanveer continue with her shit!

I get that she is his ammi, but at the end of the day, he should know that what ever his ammi is doing- it is worlds of bad- and he needs to do something to stop it.

Later when Aahil tried to clear the confusion with Rehaan in the office he lashed out at Aahil saying that he shouldn't have got married to Sanam as though it was Aahil's fault??!! I mean come on Rehaan himself confessed later on that Aahil is being played by Tanveer then what was the point of Shouting at Aahil as though Aahil was the person who forced Sanam to marry him like Arnav did to Khushi??!! Why didn't Rehaan then open his mouth and tell Aahil about Tanveer's true intention

This. Everything up there. ^^ yes to all of it.

If they had spent more time carving out his character, then I think I would've paid attention to his scenes, with actual interest for the story line, not just for shehzad's acting.

People don't kill me pls.

Most of the time the cvs don't pen out properly therefore we get clashes and inconsistencies
