Bani - why did you have to die? Yes I know the story demands it but Ms Ferns could have perhaps built on the love story a bit before we got Bani falling off the cliff in all her red sari-ed glory. In my head, I had seen all that in the promo. Aparna is pretty and I liked her in whatever I saw of Kalash so can we please see more of her and Pearl.
BUT THENNNNNN, my hero woke up; it was a dream and there I saw the face of the male lead I have adored (and perhaps always will) for the past year. And UFF everytime Raghbir smiles in the flashback scenes my heart went Hello Mahirji; how I miss youđ...(Pearly why such cuteness; the smile be killing međłâ¤ď¸) and the next instant I get someone who is poles apart from this character I have loved. Must be hard for PVP to go from playing a character like Mahirji who is so perfect to a character like Raghbir who is so imperfect AND yet loves so deeply.
Back to Raghbir, well, the angst, the darkness the rudeness and yet somewhere even despite the rudeness, the thin line between rude and arrogant ass is not crossed. Even when speaking to Pragati, he is rude but not an ass; even when he claims his dead wife's bangle he is rude but not a jerk; he lets Pragati sleep on his shoulder and doesn't wake her even though he is irritated; his mother annoys him and yet he is respectful; he rolls his eyes and yet kisses his grandmother. Yes he has PTSD and the doctor tells him that but he doesn't want to know. I think somewhere he sees Bani in every girl he meets; he needs counselling...However, i do not think EK will make him any darker..if he goes to dark people might not accept him coz like i said competitor show may be diabetes inducing for some but it has a male lead who is the polar opposite of this male lead with his Arjun-esque zulfen lehera-ing in the air compared to dark, broody, in serious need of a shave person with the face of the character I adored for an entire year. Why PVP why? why were you such perfection that I cannot stop looking for Mahirji jhalaks in Raghbir AND i get them when he is with Bani I see the love; when he thinks of Bani I see what Mahirji was at times and when I see the tears I see what Mahirji would have been if the love of his life would have left him. BUT this is not Mahirji; this is Raghbir and I would rather watch him in all his bearded glory feeling sorry for himself and all angsty than watch the one with the zulfein.
Therefore, Raghbir PLEASE be all angsty but do not get any darker because heaven knows I won't be able to watch and yet because of THAT face I won't be able to stop watching.
Misha - I know she might be ditzy but for Raghbir; if only he could step out of the darkness he is standing in; he would see that she is like standing in the sun after a cold, dark winter. Maybe; just maybe that is what Raghbir needs?
Sukanya - I just cannot connect to her; when I do I shall find more to write
Pragriti -- The question running through my mind: Will she be the Aneka to his SSO or the Khushi to his ASR? Wrong comparison yes because Raghbir be nothing like these two IMHO but oh well...
P.S Dear Pearly; why you gotta be this way; the crushing be TOO real
P.P.S. I can finally FINALLY after an entire year of holding it in because well judgement ranis be all around say it out loud..so WHY PEARLY WHY...
