Binu...what a lovely post! Sorry to comment so late..I missed this one somehow..don't know how!
A lot of what you say...actually all of it..resonates perfectly with me...I do watch shows..know the stories of most from friends and relatives who watch..but this one was special definitely! I have watched Harshad Chopda before in his earlier shows and so the fact that this was his comeback show was enough for me to look forward to it since I saw the promos. And I was simply blown away by the character in the first week itself! Shivya has been very good...a breath of fresh air as indeed is the character of Arzoo for the most part. And I will unabashedly admit that Sahir was the one ..is the one I love this show and will always love it the most for! Of course SaAz hold a special place in my heart..their story is special. Whatever pitfalls the show faced..the magic was always present and kept us glued!
Whether we praised or ranted..complained or said thanks we never stopped watching! I would like to echo your words of thanks to the entire team for giving us this experience...there were a lot of good moments that we enjoyed and they gave us those..so 👏 To them.
Harshad Chopda...what is there to say that hasn't been said before...Sahir as a character encompassed so many shades ..intense..brooding..pained..lonely...fair...romantic...sensuous...vulnerable...angry...intelligent
...empathetic.
..sensitive..and he excelled at all of them...he really lived the character and each of his emotions...even wordlessly he managed to convey what Sahir was feeling at any point of time...even when he did wrong..we said it was wrong but saw tbe reason...he portrayed Sahir so beautifully! Sad that this character is coming to an end too early...there was so much potential to develop it further...they had laid the base so well..through the worst tracks also the love for this character never reduced...love him hate him you cannot ignore him!
While I did not find Arzoo consistent earlier ..once the SaAz story started and ironically after the show genre was changed I relate to her much better. I love the SaAz equation and how they are always there for each other..in tune with each other's fears and thoughts.! Once tbe past revelation track started Arzoo has really been a rock solid support for Sahir and their interactions are heartwarming..and I want more and more...and am sad that we will not get that!
Yes..I will miss Humsafars terribly and I definitely will not go back to Sony again..having seen their attitude...life moves on and so will we..but I once again echo your sentiment that I am happy to have met so many people I have become good friends with as a result of so passionately watching and discussing Humsafars! I hope we will keep in touch as you all are a very big part of my daily life now. It has been great interacting and sharing views. That sounds so final! No but I will keep posting and replying too as long as the forum is active!
I will miss Sahir, Arzoo,SaAz and Humsafars ...a lot!
