moving on? no, thank you..

As the show comes to an end, the forum rules seem to have gone for a toss so I will answer a post that was made on the forum to bash SK. As her fan I believe I have every right to defend her and us. Sneha Kapoor left D3 of her own free will in Oct 2012. She was uncomfortable portraying intimacy on-screen, true. Did we wish to see SwaRon being passionate towards each other? Yes. Do we believe that could have been done without physical closeness? Yes again. That is where we differ from other fans who blame her for the rut SwaRon ended up in after the confession. There have been innumerable shows on TV and movies which have depicted love stories without resorting to physically intimate scenes and that includes hugs. True, SK's inhibitions may have made things difficult for the writers but not impossible. Had they been talented enough they could have given us a beautiful story even with those limitations. Hence I will place the blame for that squarely on their shoulders. Regarding her lack of professionalism, let me remind all the arm-chair critics that this was her first foray into showbiz. No one can foresee what they will like or won't like until they try it or acquire a crystal ball. She loved acting but not the industry and she was honest enough to admit it. As fans we loved her of our own free will, expected things from her of our own free will. She didn't put a gun to our head and force us to adore her, hence she had no obligation to any fan to do what we wanted. She was doing a job and she did the best she could. If that fell short of anyone's standards, that's their problem not hers.

Now coming to why I will always love Tanha wala SwaRon and refuse to move on. They showed me a story that was different from all the sappy trash regularly dished out by CVs. I loved Sharon because of her flaws not despite them. Hence when those flaws were removed from Sharon's character after Sneha's exit I didn't like it. I can never like, forget love, a Sharon who thinks "mere do anmol ratan" or kisses Swayam for the first time and doesn't even realize it or giggles uncontrollably while hopping around like a pony on steroids. My Sharon was tormented, angst ridden, reserved, mature, brash, bitchy and uncomfortable with expressions of love because it made her vulnerable. That is why I loved her. I didn't want a perfect Sharon. I loved SwaRon because they were imperfect and defined irony. Swayam loved Sharon because of who she was but they couldn't be together for that very reason. They were two people destined to love each other yet remain apart. I loved them because they showed for the first time on Indian TV that compatibility need not be a by-product of love. I gave SwaRon a chance, was even excited to see the turn their story takes after SK's exit but what I saw was unpalatable to me. I didn't want a vivacious, well rounded Sharon because to me, the minute she became a "sweet girl" she died. So for me and my fellow TanHa fans, Sharon exists in our memories and we won't move on because for us, there is nothing to move on to.

Easier said than being done. The writers had to deal with an actress who demands script changes on spot. Take in her tantrums cause the show have just lost a female lead. Oh yes. Also with that take in all the wrong bashing the CVs get for the unprofessional actress. And also the huge responsibility to run a show. I can't believe people can still blame writers of not doing their job and not the unprofessional woman who didn't do the job she was being paid for. SK. Congratulations. Your Sati Savitri act did work well on some people. *Claps claps*

I agree wid the fact dat widout intimacy also u cn feel the romance bt den for dat u want actors like fawad khan n sanam saeed 8| n writers like umera ahmed n directors like sultana siddiqui(talking about a Pakistani show zindagi gulzar hai) everyone cnt show romance or u cnt feel the romance till the tym der is some kind of intimacy.. N for intimacy we meant simple hug or holding hands or cute little things v r nt asking for consummation scene.. Wen sneha cn hold hand or hug kas or other guys of the show toh kya shantanu ko khante lage the? Y cnt she hug shantanu?

Yes till i point its correct dat a gal who is diva of a clg cnt agree to be a gal frnd of a nerd bt being a gal i cnt connect to the fact dat how cn a gal be so heartless? How cn she insult a guy all the tym who love her so much.. N yes v knw she loves swayam too toh den y she was nt accepting it just for the sake of stupid ego n public image.. Dat phase of sharon after a point become so unrealistic n torture for many..

V r nt bashing her bt just saying dat v have moved for the sake of swaron.. Coz swaron comes first for us n nt the actor who r playing dat..

Thank you for making this post.

Oin, fab post yaar. 👏

Pooh that case is completely fine for mini series re. ZGH and such shows are finite. And maze ki baat hai Pakistani shows mein physical intimacy nahi hai atleast hand holdings hai. Hand holding koi intimacy hui kya -_- SK used to even deny that. Ek mamuli hand holding bhi nahi toh idhar bhi nahi :v Im sorry I feel the same case cant apply here cause its an indefinite show. An indefinite show cant work without physical intimacy. 25 episodes substantial and platonic romance. Great. But not 300 episodes. :v

Yes I wished to see SwaRon passionate towards each other. Sharon was never supposed to be the heroine of saas-bahu soaps who would blush and run away from Swayam. She was the DIVA - nothing holds her back...chahe insult ho ya pyaar dikhana ...it was always supposed to be direct and without holding back.

I was watching SwaRon - a fiery and passionate love story not sooraj and sandhya bindni's love story with only look-look hawa hawa. Heck even they had hugs and consummation going by the promos of that show.

I wanted to watch a love story not a tragedy.

BTW - One question : Why did she have no problems hugging KAS but had a problem with Shantanu ?

If hugs, cupping face are intimate then oh well D3 must be an adult show coz be it KR or TR or VruShan wala SS- they had innumerable hugs, kisses,etc.

now all blame on writers.??? xDxD

that is what the writers are getting paid for. SK tried to do what was required of her but failed so she quit. she could have continued to hang around for as long as she liked because even with her inhibitions the CVs wanted to keep her. but she didn't, for me that redeems her. there's no sati savitri act here. she has her faults and she's admitted to them. i like her despite those flaws and i have every right to. if you dont, that's your choice and this is not your post
