So so glad to see RB v0.1 discussions and fans around here. 🥰🥰 I was in love with this man the longest till I met my husband😳😆. I dont get when people outright discard the man’s traits and call him whatever because he is the most complicated characters ever with so many layers. You cannot call him a hero considering some of the darkest things he did when he was lowest of the low. And you cannot discredit all his sacrifices and pain too because it was so intense. For me the journey started from him not knowing anything about love at all, to grow passion for someone so much so that it became toxic and made him do the worst things possible including breaking his own promise of ‘not having physical contact’ (I know the scene that Shiva mentioned, but there was another scene also where he confesses about not being able to control his emotions as he is falling in love with her) to gathering himself back upon seeing the love of his life so broken and in distress (Post Prem’s death phase) and making peace with one-sided love and staying her friend only for ever to again getting his hopes high once again when Prerna proposed to him to marry to the turmoils he’s been through throughout his life, sometimes succumbing to his insecurities, sometimes rising above everyone around with his unconditional love for Sneha. Honestly, RB’s many many scenes and PRB’s many convos are so underrated like wistful said. The aarti scene from first marriage, the scene where RB buys the land of Prem’s samadhi for Prerna to build an aashram, his scenes with Sneha, his calling the marriage off when Sneha went missing due to Prerna’s carelessness, scenes when he offers to adopt Sneha without having Prerna to marry him if she doesn’t want to. Many layers PRB had as a couple and as a family. So when they finally got married and P fell for him, it was so organic and natural that it didn’t look odd to many. They provided the stability factor to the audience that every couple, every lead couple should have. They had many ups and downs but they always stuck together. That’s why they worked.
Oh I am getting so nostalgic, sorry guys 😆🥰☺️
