if ever in that situation then go ahead and choose the latter is how I sum up today's episode 😊
The two dynamics: Abhay-Deepika and Sia-Wasim are all in the same boat in their own way. We all dream for the ideal romance and marriage - All thanks to growing up with Yashraj and Dharma movies where all these movies advocate to doing ANYTHING to be with the one you love but is reality really found in such stories - maybe for a few blessed souls but for the majority its otherwise.
I remember as a kid loving Kuch kuch hota hai but as an adult rebuking it (I still revisit it in pieces for the iconic jodi and songs but thats it). I was waiting for something more raw...something not so simplistic and then came Jab We Met :):) It was the first mainstream hindi movie which busted your pyaar ek baar hota hai bullshit and kinda catalyzed the trend of normalizing a realistic take on relationships, romance and marriage.
Today's scenes of Abhay-Deepika and Sia-Wasim took me back to Aditya and Geet. When you unconditionally love someone, all you want is to see them happy and do everything in your capacity to make that happen. There is respect and pride in everything they do, however different they could be from you - you accept them, you hang out, as their mere company completes everything. That's what I saw in Abhay and Wasim today - there is absolutely no expectation of anything in return, they are aware that the person in front of them is into someone else but being for them and with them makes them happy...and that's all that matters :):)
So why not choose the person who loves you, if he/she is giving you everything you deserve: Love, respect, equality, time, compassion and no judgement. I hope Deepika and Sia break their shackles of wanting an idealistic Yashraj romance when in reality koi Raj nahi aane wala...but guess what aapka wala Aditya itna bura bhi nahi hai 😉
Let me know your thoughts guys :)
