All that glitters is not Gold and all that shines is not Suraj…..Udaan is just MeeJay
Why suddenly I wanted to write??? The recent IWMBuzz news that udaan is downing its shutters officially initially made me happy but then sad and then nostalgia with so many memories down the years.
Just repeating it again may be the last time now….
Udaan ….. that spark of Spandan that girl who said maalik I will not die as a Bandhuva made me glued to this show and eventually made me break my norm and turn my head to TV.
Udaan ……… bandhuvagiri…slavery in 21st century?… just the concept made me think and sit through the show.
Udaan… I started to fly high with the free spirited bird Chakor (Meera just lived and I loved so am sorry not hurting anyone no one can replace her as she lives as Chakor evergreen in my heart). Not only from Chakor but from Meera too learnt a lot. Never give up till you reach the finish line though you may not be the first to win the race.
Udaan… I started to for the first time in my life to hate a character but questioned myself as this one is different not the same, then started to observe him, then started to reason out my hate, should I hate and when I reasoned out and just with that walkout on that fateful first night he walked into my heart forever and ever to stay and emboss and archive and turn into a fossil. I get goosebumps to even type SURAJ RAJVANSHI…..Indeed he made my brain work so much that I lost count of the analysis I wrote about his every miniscule expression and never my love diminished for him though he vanished (or I should say made to vanish in thin air) which made me freeze and completely go numb and still when I see the orange ball up in the sky there is a blob of tears in my eyes…. My dude the one I loved the most and still love the most…. Ever since November 19, the TV lost it colours... VJ just lived the character, gave his life, soul to that epic….I went into depression
Udaan – I was depressed, mourning, built walls around me not allowing the fresh breeze to enter me. The TV was colourless but with VJs versatility and a different genre of acting I started to just enjoy the black and white too only after the interview from MeeJay which beamed with happiness that they are happy doing something new,a new journey which had excellent potential to go slow.
VJ Started to shine as Raaghav won over my heart with his sheer acting ability to convince me, when Chakor was slowly breaking walls only to be curtailed brutally with no logical sense….
The three months of his effort made me feel for his professionalism and felt him as gold but soon to realise that yes I started to like Raaghav after he shined but realized that though he shined for three months still my three years of journey with Suraj Rajvanshi proved that though it is same actor still Suraj can be only one and only Suraj Rajvanshi…. no matter what.
(Yes I have gone ahead with Raaghav and Chakor writing RagKor stories too and I have started to live with my ficfam but still when the show is downing its shutters the reality is hitting…)
Udaan – MEEJAY as SUKOR or RAGKOR is the only face of Udaan… and it proved right that though the makers wanted to make money (at the end of the day its money and business) in leaps but because of the illogical leap it bound to fall down deep in to that mushy soil never to rise again.
Many new actors had come and tried to glitter only to prove my belief that all that glitters is not Gold and all the pair cannot be equal to our dear MeeJay. For Udaan is Meejay and Meejay is Udaan.
The famous show is shutting down infamously with no pompous….Maybe there will be any gathering by the makers which I doubt….
The show for me ironically ended by Nov 19 with the killing of the epic Suraj Rajvanshi and survived on the ventilator due to MeeJay till13th Feb and went into coma till Meera made her exit.
It’s now taken out to be declared dead and officially put to rest though I am unable to rest to see an epic show with an epic theme with epic characters and actors being put to rest just because of callousness.
True to the saying, everything has to come to an end but not necessarily to end with a sad feeling….
I rest with heavy heart…..
