Hmm so you think, out of shock and trauma, Sanam has become temporarily scared of Tanveer. Ok. Can't buy but 😊
I plan to watch when Sanam is herself again.
Hard to believe that this woman battled ..
1. being left at alter
2. her livelyhood being burned down
3. be the supporter for family
4. come to a new place and be pitted against the jerk of highest order
and on and on.. I cannot even number them
So now this same woman wants to lean. I am sure CVs are not aware I would not lean on someone who has caused me so much harm even if its my sibling. Somehow the screenplay did not look convincing. It kind of looked like they are trying to paint a contrast between Sanam and Seher. And to accept that Sanam is weaker of the 2, is not agreeable to me. She has such a strong conscience, honesty... certainly these qulaities should not have been forgotten.
your gifs are alwaya nice.
Good that brave Seher(who off course is not brave enough to say various different truths to her loved ones) is there to help her.
😊
I also feel we need to understand its not about confiding fears, but how and when it was put in the story , that makes all the difference.
See she did confide in Aahil that she fears being seperated from him... she did cry her heart out right on the stage in front of Aahil... but they had a big build up, a story which made this convincing.
Her confiding to Seher does not look as convincing. in the sense that she is still strong and blah blah but is confiding only to her twin.
I would have liked some more build up for the twins... some more moments between just the 2 where Seher clearly gets on her knees and says sorry.. but since that didn't happen her character appears alienish to me. And hence my Sanam confiding to an outsider- this is how it looks to me😊
important to note- I did not agree with most of what you said/wrote. but since I can't let your lovely post pass, I had to come back and say😉
Hello J !! 😊
I have often lamented that the creatives have always been biting more than they could chew, too many characters with backstories. I was never a fan of the twin thing.
I never said I liked how things played out yesterday. My guess is the creatives have had to scramble for a storyline alternative to what they had originally planned. And they are not doing do great with it...
Here's how I'd have preferred it...
Sanam looked down at the furious Tanveer, purple and apoplectic with rage.
"Did you think you'd nicely just come back here after desecrating my parents' grave with your presence? How dare you go there??! "
"Here's a piece of news for you. I am still Aahil's legally wed wife. And you can't change that. Now see? You have turned your back for a few hours and I am back in my husband's house. I am not going to let you walk over me and my marriage, understand?"
As Tanveer stamped her feet and screamed her name, she turned back and found Sunehri smiling at her, her supportive presence bolstering her courage.
They hugged and promised to stay through this to fight Tanveer.
However, Tanveer was about to get into the house soon, kicking the door down.
"Come, I know a place where we'll be safe," Sanam said. She led Sunehri to a large painting of the Nawab ancestor, behind which was a hidden door. They opened the door, and were immediately swamped by goosebumps..
Putting on the lights, Sunehri looked at the dusty and abandoned room, and turned to her twin questioningly. Sanam wistfully told her , "This is our Ammi and Abbu's room, when they lived here. "
Sunehri picked up some moth eaten clothes, blouses and tops and jeans, a dirty pink old edition of the now discontinued I-pad (😉), and saw a picture frame...
Her mother... they both looked just like her !! A wave of emotion rushed through her, pricking her eyes with burning tears. "Ammi...! Abbu..!"
Sanam felt a reciprocal pain and they hugged each other tightly, finally really united in the memories of their parents.
"Sanam, I feel such a fury for our losses. That witch has to pay !! We are going to take her down, you'll see !!"
Sanam went silent. " Sunehri, I am afraid. Aahil has married another woman. Another innocent woman. Now he's left the house and he's not answering my calls. Do you think he'll listen to what I have to tell him? What if he won't listen to me, Sunehri? What is Tanveer has ruined his love for me? What if he ..."
Sunehri interrupted her, solemnly. "Sanam, I did a horrible thing by pretending to be you. For that I will try to make it up to you. Please don't doubt Aahil? The whole time he was so devoted to you. I had to fend him off several times when he tried to get close...
"But don't blame him. it's me... He thought I was you. He showed me this beautiful model of a house, a house he wanted to build for you and proposed marriage..."
Sanam choked and silent tears ran down her face. Sunehri swallowed hard and placed a small object in Sanam's hand, a beautiful diamond ring.
"This was the ring he proposed with Sanam. I know what I did was terrible and I have no words to redeem myself. All I can say is that I am no longer that person and I am sorry. Be mad at me, but don't doubt Aahil's love for you..."
"What will I do now? He's married to another woman??" Sanam's voice broke. Sunehri hugged her close and whispered, "Shhh, we'll get through it together, come what may. Together..."
Here is what I''d have preferred to have happened.
But that's not what we got...
But rest assured, when KV is back, Sunehri is going to witness first hand (since she's in the house) what Aahil was like before he became the Mr. Romeo she so disparagingly mocked. And the guilt over her part of the deception will emerge.
I still think Sunehri will be the one who will bring them back together.
I still disagree that Sanam being afraid is a sign of weakness. Sunehri is her twin, not her enemy. Like another half of herself. What is the harm in admitting fear of an impending battle?
She survived (as you quoted):
1. being left at the altar & her livelihood burned down
She cried and cried so much, humiliated. And then discovered all her valuables stolen. Out of rage, she ran after Anwar and his mother. Because she was the bread winner of the family, she fought with landlords to keep the roof over Badi Ammi and Haya. Kept her grief and humilation aside and planned for new income since a rich spoilt brat burned down her dhaba.
2. Come to Bhopal and be pitted against the jerk of the highest order
She came, took a menial job as a waiter, which she lost again due to Aahil. And then ended up as a cook in Aahil's house. Where she fought him and held on to her self respect.
She didn't want to fall in love. She wanted to take care of her Badi Ammi's heart problems and get Haya operated. She didn't want love. Even as Aahil was falling for her, she wasn't in return.
But when he almost died rescuing her Badi Ammi, she was forced to reexamine her feelings for him. She found herself caring for him a lot. So she loved him, letting her feelings go, and receiving love from him too, albeit tentatively.
But he wasn't very strong in his resolve. And that is what is worrying her now. How he is manipulated so easily. How to save someone who doesn't want to be saved ?
Agreed J, they didn't deal with the plot well at all...
But until our Hero comes back , we are stuck...
phew, this became long...!! 😲
