I know and I really appreciate that, it's just tough right now. It's weird cuz I was looking forward to his exit so that I could be free from this show but the kind of performances we got in the last week has made it so difficult. We were once again reminded of just how GOOD Aniruddh is. It just hit me as to how much we missed out on in the last few months. All that talent wasted so that he could be seen as a side piece.
I think I'll be better after his talk, but until then Imma just be a hot mess.
I feel exactly the same way. I thought today/tomorrow I'd be done with the show but they brought up themes that we'd worked so hard to accept and then stirred the hornet's nest again all of last week, especially with the HS-Minnie scenes.
You know how tough it was for me to watch the connection nahi bana paya scene, then reconcile with the current state of things, only to be thrown back into turmoil because of that voice-over scene where they finally became bapu-chhori, at least in their hearts. Today's farewell scene and the locket bit just left me devastated.
And yes, in all this it just stood out even more how even on his way out HS enthralled and moved us, as did Aniruddh's magic on screen. His sheer presence on screen is so powerful that you can't focus on anything else. It's their loss that they couldn't make the most of what he was so eagerly willing to offer with his craft.
I am so glad we got to see him portray a myriad of shades and emotions because I don't think we'd have learned to appreciate his caliber and range otherwise. This has left me hungry for more of him. I am defo gonna go back and watch all his work so that I can see how he's grown as an actor over the years.
Which talk of his are you referring to?
In the meantime, I'm here as much as I can be if you need to chat. Love you and thank you for staying with me here right up to the end of this season. 🤗
