So, I was watching the New Year's episode for the umpteenth time and realized just how well SS has grown as an actor. I once caught sight of his scene with Aahil where they talked about what life has in store for them, and I was struck by how wooden he was there. I just rolled my eyes and moved on, unaware that I will one day fall for the same character head over heels.😆 I do love my good boys.😳😆
Now I look back and realize the implication of that scene, the hints that the writers kept giving for SeHaan. If you rewatch the scenes, you will notice them too. I always knew that Asya's daughter will end up with Billi's son. The story arc is so rich with angst and hurdles, it's a writers wet dream. So when Aahil turned out to be her step son, I was surprised and wondered what the writers were upto. Then I came to know about Rehaan but I knew Sanam was for Aahil. I seriously though the writers were dumb to not take advantage of such an amazing plot. Then Seher was introduced and I knew she will be paired with Rehaan. I saw their scene and was struck by Seher's OTT drama but it made sense. Rehaan is a very grounded, subdued human being. If Sanam had been his partner, they would have had the most boring children in the world.😆
Opposites attract and Seher is perfect to draw him out of his darkness. She balances him, makes him laugh, amuses him, gives him hope. And most of all, loves him truly and freely. He is and always will be her priority. She chose him over millions so imagine how much she must value him. She is exactly what he needs and he is exactly what she needs. He will keep her grounded and loved and cared for. Something she never had. She too is his priority. They are the perfect pair for me.
For some reason SS was not given as many scenes as I would have liked him to have after SeHaan's break up. Maybe it was because of the movie he was shooting for. I am happy for him but I'm sad about how much we lost out as SeHaan fans. There was so much, so much to show. It was not shown but I am positive, he searched and searched tirelessly for his Sunehri. When he couldn't find her, he asked forgiveness from his God and searched for her again. For days on end. Haunting the temple and the outhouse(?) near the Kohinoor project. Hoping to catch a glimpse of her. He must have asked and asked again, holding out her picture to the vendors(Maybe on his cellphone?), getting dejected when no one could help him. Giving them a message for her. Giving them his number to contact him when she finally makes an appearance. He must have sat for hours in his car, outside the temple every Tuesday hoping for her appearance. Wanting to give their relation another chance. Every passing day must have brought him dejected depression. She was no where to be found. Did she leave? Did he really throw away the only good thing in his life? Was this his punishment for throwing away his love? To live without her his whole life? To live without love?
Then he got a call from home; was told about the marriage and the party. He looked lost and lonely as he tried to make his brother see sense. His hope was finally dwindling. It was almost 3 weeks. No way was Sunehri still in Bhopal. He tried to bury himself in work and then his Ammi almost died. He was so so angry with his friend. How could she try to kill someone, his own Ammi? He'd put her on a pedestal and she fell and how. Emotions hazed logic. All he could feel was anger and disappointment. He, like his brother refused to hear her out. Then a miracle happened. He found his Sunehri. He didn't wonder about her impersonation or the implication of her being in IM. His eyes roved over her desperately, noticing the difference for the first time. He knew. But still all he wanted to hear was her confirmation of her real identity. He pleaded for the truth. His last sentence was very telling "Listen. Please please tell me you are MY Sunehri." He was already sure. He didn't call her Sanam. He gripped her hand, hoping his touch would break her silence and it did.
Her nod freed him from the rigid control he had been imposing on himself. He hugged her close, relief coursing through him. Emotions mingling into one another. She gripped his blazer, pushing herself closer to him and he mirrored it. His love was not lost. She was in his arms right now and he won't ever let her go. But he suddenly remembered that his Sunehri was the one being accused for poisoning his Ammi. Still he didn't push her away. He will never push her away now. He backed away slowly and asked everything that was on my mind and Seher answered. She will not make the same mistake of withholding or lying to him again.
He was shattered by the truth but he couldn't deny that his Ammi is ruthless enough to do everything that Seher was accusing her of. He listened to the con she pulled but faced with his mother crime of killing her parents and her family, did her con matter that much? After all she turned out the way she is today because of the devastation his Ammi caused. Besides Seher did rescue and bring her sister back. She is trying to put everything back together. Can he dare be angry on her for fooling everyone? No, maybe his brother can but not him. He told her about his real identity maybe dreading her rejection but she trusts him more than his parentage. She didn't hold it against him and multiple murder trumps a con job so he decided to fight with his love and his friend. He will save his brother. He will get his friend back together with his brother. He will undo the damage done to their relationship with his Sunehri's help. He will oust his Ammi's real face to the world. The hardest job for a child. Almost impossible but he will do it because he has always stood for the right.
I'm glad he didn't refuse to believe when Seher laid out his Ammi's truth. He rose up to the occasion and I admire him for it. Standing against a parent is hard and everyone who kept harping on how he is a criminal and con too for hiding Billi's truth will know now that he thought she was doing everything because of her love and guilt for him. He could hardly oust her for it. It's like your parent stealing milk for your hunger and you going to the police and complaining against them. He had no idea the darkness she had inside her. He never dreamth she killed the Nawab or the guilt she placed on Aahil. He never knew that she was capable of taking a life. When he did come to know her truth, he decided to help the twins bring Billi down. That takes guts and unimaginable strength of will.
And now for the fight. All they need to do is prove Billi is unstable. A few sightings spied by Khalu-Khala of SeHaan hugging or romancing while Sanam is with Aahil should do it. It will cement the idea that Billi is going loony or that team TKK are trying to undermine Sanam in his eyes. I think this is what will nudge Billi on getting her eyesight back. I dunno how they will manage that. It's already been more than a week since Seher and Billi challenged each other. An eye operation is pretty quick these days. You can go home 2 hours after it's done. But it needs almost 2 weeks of rest and the patient is asked not strain the eyes. Which will leave only a week for the plan to hit crescendo for her downfall. I must admit that I am intrigued. Also, let's not forget Billi has one Ace in her kitty for Seher. Seher will be hit hard when she comes to know that Rehaan used to have feelings for Sanam. She will doubt their love then. It will be a major blow to her trust and strength. Rehaan will have to do something huge to make her believe that he loves her and only her.
😲That is a longgg post. I think I'd better stop before my essay turns into a mini novel. 🤣
