Amazing post! Haven't been here in so long! I started distancing myself from the show just because of the dragfest and a lot of negativity on the forum overall. I read updates, ffed thru the episodes in a few minutes, and waited for KV to finally come back. Thank god he is! What an impact!
Very true... that reentry was fabulous...
Hey I missed you yaar. I'm the stubborn one who is still waiting for the story to become awesome again...!
Agree with everyone, Aahil's "love" is very nascent, juvenile and not deserving of Sanam. In short, immature. If one compares both in how they love, Sanam has depth, maturity, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness. In short, the perfect partner. She wasn't initially, but that was because she did not accept Aahil. Once she did, she learnt on the job and really well, I might add.
Frankly, Sanam gave too much of herself. All he did was doubt her, push her away, and then a grand gesture of "I Love You Sanam"... She trusts him so much, waited for him to rescue her, escaped herself and came back to him.
Not once did he ask, "What happened? Why did you leave?"
Even the horrible, "Why did you come back? Ran out of money?" would've been understandable...
He is exactly what Sanam once said, "You think you are the only one with big problems in this world !! No one else has troubles!"
Damn Tanveer.
Aahil, on the other hand...his love has been clingy, possessive, jealous, and overwrought with insecurities from his past. He managed to drive away jealousy because he kicked Rehan out so that he could have all of Sanam's time and love. He couldn't stand Sanam leaving him when he yelled at her for knowing about his past. He begged for forgiveness and pleaded with her to not leave him, he was that dependent on her. And then when his mother said to stay away from Sanam, he still couldn't because he was too dependent on Sanam! We have all complained of how dependent Aahil can be and that even with all the improvement he has made, he is still not independent. He is STILL Tanveer's puppet. Even after Rehan pointed out the many instances prior to their wedding of how Sanam is meant for him, he managed to get duped initially ALWAYS. It's strange how Rehan, the one who has moved on from Sanam, has the strength to believe in Sanam's character, but Aahil is ready to believe only what his ammi has presented before him. Why is it that Rehan could see that "Sanam" was given alcohol so that she would act inappropriately to ruin their relationship/upcoming nikkah, but Aahil, couldn't get beyond his pride/izzat to see sense?
I love Rehan's character for this very reason. He has his secrets, but he has been a steadfast friend of Sanam from the beginning. Somehow you know, Rehan would never accuse Sanam of such a thing. The strength of friendship between Rehan and Sanam is beautiful. Loads of empathy and understanding. I often rue why Sanam didn't just end up with Rehan😭...
Sure it's not Junoon, but she would've been happy...
Sanam's belief in Aahil remained unshaken, but Aahil? It seems like he has to be constantly reminded of Sanam's love. Granted Seher as Sanam was playing fast and loose, but still how quickly did he believe the evidence laid out by his ammi and how quick was he to punish and reprimand Sanam without even giving her ONE chance to explain? His love has forgiven him multiple times and given him so many chances for all the terror that he reigned on her in the beginning, but HE can't even forgive her for this one mistake that was not even hers in the first place?!!
Aahil needs to grow up. Hopefully this distance from Sanam will teach him to use his brain as far his ammi is considered.
But this isn't really distance is it? He is determined to bulldoze over her heart.
She forgave him of so many things before, but any self respecting person will not forget that he turned away from her when she needed him the most. Trust issues...
P.S. -I think the only scene I liked from last week was when they played Mitwa, took me back, I missed the angst of Mitwa! Sometimes I wish they would connect the audience back to QH1 ever so often with Mitwa, it really brings out an emotional connect between both seasons which is necessary considering the revenge track.
Mitwa was beautiful ... so many memories evoked ...
We would love for old characters to make a comeback, that'd be awesome !
