I have been a silent member of this forum but a huge fan of POW. I have to admit that I stopped watching POW in the phase when Sartaj and Iman were being blackmailed by Lala. But I was hooked onto the show again with the entry of Lt. Siddhanth Thakur, Rajasthan Rifles. He epitomised the ideal Indian soldier. His relationship with his sister and with Vikram was super endearing. And his unrelenting efforts to become frineds with Iman and Sartaj in captivity was heartbreaking.
I particularly loved how he introduced humself to Naaz in Karachi: Lt. Siddhanth Thakur, Rajasthan Rifles. In the last week, I was hoping against hope that Sid is alive and Sadiq is a facade. But my hopes were dashed by today's episode. I don't thhink that all soldiers (Indian or otherwise) are perfect. But I had so much love for the character of Siddhanth Thakur that it was heartbreaking to accept that he had turned.
I can't imagine what SHobha will feel when she learns about Sadiq. My personal way of dealing with the storyline is to treat Sid and Sadiq as two different people.
RIP Sid - an exemplary solider, a loving brother who would have definitely made a great Mamu, a supportive brother-in-law and a loyal friend. RIP Lt. Siddhanth Thakur, Rajasthan Rifles
