Wow. This sounds about right! Noice interpretation there gurlll ! (Also it fills me with so much sadness even though all this separation angst judaii kasauti is inevitable)
Also can you tell me briefly (if only it is okay with you) about that thornbird story and how it relates to Anurag being pricked by the thorn in the promo. lol I did watch that episode but since I was doing a KZK marathon to catch up, I didn't pay much attention there!
Edit: I only know thornbird suffers in love (suffers for love/suffers for someone it loves???!!) can't remember anything apart from it
"There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out-carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain... Or so says the legend." Credit - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thorn_Birds
I think how the thornbirds story relates to anu being pricked by the thorn in the promo is that the thorn tree that the thorn bird spends its whole life looking for is symbolic for what we would call "The one" (soul mate).
Like the thorn bird having found the thorn tree it wanted all its life, anurag found his true love despite not even looking for it, but anurag's love for prerna will be undying, so much like how the pain that the thorn bird experiences yet endures with all its strength to sit on that one thorn tree it had longed and strived to find resulted in the most beautiful song at the expense of the bird's unbearable pain, anurag will have to experience a lot of pain at the expense of trying to be with prerna and that pain won't weaken him, as just how the thorn bird rises above it's pain to sing the most beautiful song ever heard that even makes god smile, this is symbolic that anurag, who is the thornbird of this story, will be motivated by this very pain and not give up on his love for prerna, but will make him fight harder despite the pain.
I think in both the thornbirds story and the story of kasauti, pain and hardship will be the expense to be paid for trying to get what you most desire, showing that gaining what you desire can't always be as easy as you wish, and if your desires are true and strong, then that pain won't weaken you, but will serve as a motivating factor to fight for what you desire.
