But on the whole we had a marvelous time here in all forms healthy discussions conversation with Suraj Ji Tping fights laughs tears and most of all to love all

TOP 10 SCENES of Suraj aka Anas

A great scene, to me, is one that can perfectly highlight itself as one of a serial's great moments, aided by the stupendous performance of the artist. This includes the use of music, camera movements, scripting as well as acting. I have tried to create a list that is varied, meaning there are scenes from old and new episodes from various tracks. This list will detail the reasons as to why these 10 scenes are the greatest in terms of Anas' performance as Suraj. Please bear in mind that these scenes are all fairly personal to me and that they reflect my views. There may be some I have left out, but these are all my personal choices. So let's begin shall we?

Next on countdown at number 6 is the scene which I still remember caused a lot of disatisfaction among forumites, many debated that the concept of Diya Baati is ruined and some even were disappointed as they felt it degraded husband wife relationship. This scene however, if it is analyzed differently, actually depicted Suraj as a wonderful spouse and more than that a great human. The man who loved his wife with all heart and soul decided to put all his love aside so that she can achieve her dream without any hindrances. The highlight was the outburst of suraj after the failed SR (initiated by sandhya after bhabo's brainwashing session). The scene was enacted well by Anas who presented himself as a hurt lover who felt dejected, rejected and disappointed.

5. The goodbye

TA separation scenes are definitely the most memorable and heart wrenching moments of the show. For some fans, including myself, this track marked the end of glorious days of DABH. We saw one of the most heartbreaking moments of the show which brought tears to every pair of eyes watching. I personally never liked to see a man crying but Anas as Suraj brought out the right emotion as a loving husband and proved that men's silent can be the loudest cry. The scene that particularly I would like to point out is the goodbye scene by suraj who was unable to meet sandhya in training academy due to circumstances. But when it is just about time, he finally got to see a glimpse of her from far. There was no words said in that scene. Only gestures. But, we understood what he wanted to say, we understood what he felt, we understood his language of love and we understood his pain of separation. Just like suraj, I'm too running out of words so once again quoting Hindustani Times which described the whole sequence and Suraj as

Diya Baati wouldn't be a success without Anas' contribution in creating an amazing chemistry with his co-star. With chemistry as the basis, the scene which grabs the third position is ... Yes! the epic scene of DABH- the bus accident which marked the reunion of Suraj and Sandhya. The scene heading to climax was so touchy as Suraj who pretended to hate sandhya was put to a biggest test of his life after the bus Sandhya was traveling met with a serious accident. He ran like a mad man searching for sandhya, hoping and praying silently that she will be fine. And finally when he found her alive, his eyes teared, his feet dragged him towards her, hands hugged her and that followed by a beautiful confession which marked the Maha Milan of diya Baati.







2. The soul talk


This scene made into top two mainly because it is close to the heart of the actor himself. Secondly, because of the mother son conversation which can touch the depth of your hearts. Thirdly, for Anas and Neeluji's mindblowing performance. Bhabo and Suraj's bond has always been a highlight in DABH. The bonding became stronger after the Hijack as both fought to keep each other alive. This particular scene which takes the runners up position is the scene in which bhabo was in death bed and met Suraj as soul light. When bhabo was about to leave the world, Suraj fought with her soul and brought her back to life. Just watch scenes where he asked, "who will take care of me then, how will I manage?" "what will I tell your grandchildren when they ask where is our Dadi? "When bhabo said "I have to go, my time is up", he refused saying "death was for me, the bullet was shot on me and you came in between..."If you want to go, then I have a promise that my love and duties are true for you, you will not go alone, I will come along," Listening to those words, finally Bhabho gets heart beat running and opens her eyes. So that is number two for you- for the one of the best dialogues in DABH.





1. The divorce

If a story, screenplay and acting are at their best this is what you'll get - a phenomenal output. Yes, I'm talking about this numero uno scene of this top 10 countdown- the divorce paper discovery. Ask any DABH fan, they would say this is the scene that made them fall for the show and love this simple halwai called Suraj Rathi. And now do I need to explain the scenes? Aren't they all fresh in our memories- even after four years? Who can forget Suraj's emotional turmoil after seeing the divorce paper? Who can forget that night when he cried in sleep, who can forget the imaginary dream he had dreading for the separation and who can ever forget the SV2 (Suraj version 2) track that followed by that? Definitely a scene to cherish, a performance to remember.

And that's the Top 10 scenes of Suraj that I'm sure all fans will remember even after 10 or 20 or 100 years of the show!!!
