Chitra, felt u almost wrote for me..
I am not a regular TV serial watcher. I was watching humsafar Bec of Fawad Khan.. And that's when I chanced upon humsafars as I was surfing the channels.. And guess what my first episode was the jungle scene.. And from then till now, I hv just been hooked on..
I must say i dint take the liking for Sahir and Harshad instantly, though he was hot.. But as I watched the show, his silence, his eyes speaking everything, his style, his voice, his fingers, his attitude, ruthlessness, raw passion, his longing and a very sensitive poet in him completely griped me.. Initially, I found his hair style crapy.. (Today I'm in love with those tresses).
But I found the story interesting and the character intriguing and full of mystery.. So I went online and watched from the beginning... AND then my journey with humsafars really began. Today I can say.. U don't fall in love with someone like Sahir.. U grow in love.. That's exactly what happened to me. Harshad for me is Sahir and he'll always be.. And Sahir is immortal.. And Harshad made him one..
Coming to Arzoo, she was raw, innocent and outspoken and that's exactly how we find Shivya too.. I can't imagine any other persona playing that role as effectively.. The new comer tag was irrelevant. She was perfect as Arzoo and a humsafar for Sahir (Harshad)..
I do wish PH had paid timely attention to feedback on tracks ( like the pregnancy one), focused in better direction and editing.. But anyways..
Saying that I'll miss humsafars is an understatement. Like you, Chitra, I also rediscovered my love for writing here in this forum.. Writing about Sahir, SaAz and humsafars.. I know Harshad wd bounce back. So wd Shivya... But there can be only one Sahir and he's not gonna come back.. feeling sad.
