Hello Everyone, hope your well. After watching today's episode i can't help but feel bad for Keerat. Couldn't help myself but write this. Let me know what you think.
Keerat examined herself in the mirror, dressed in jeans, a checked shirt, and sneakers. Her hair was neatly done in a basic French braid .As she observed her reflection, a sense of confidence and determination radiated from her eyes.
She pondered the question of whether there was anything wrong with her choice of dressing like a tomboy. Since childhood, Keerat had harbored the ambition of becoming a wrestler and bringing pride to her family,state, and country. The rigorous training required for wrestling naturally influenced her choice of attire, and she found comfort in it as well.
For Keerat, dressing in a way that aligned with her passion and goals was a source of empowerment. The practicality and ease of movement provided by her chosen style allowed her to focus on her training without the constraints of traditional feminine clothing.
Keerat often faced criticism for her unconventional attire, particularly from her mother, who seemed dissatisfied with her tomboyish style. The constant taunts about being "like a boy" echoed in her ears, asher mother expressed a desire for her to embrace a more feminine appearance like her elder sisters, Seerat and Sahiba. The pressure to conform to societal expectations and fit into the conventional mold of femininity weighed on Keerat.
Community members also contributed to the judgment, drawing comparisons between her and her sisters based on their differing styles. Keerat's unique choice of clothing seemed to invite scrutiny, fostering a sense of being an outsider in her own community.
Amidst this backdrop of disapproval, one person stood by her side - her boyfriend, Veer. Their friendship had gradually evolved into love,and Keerat cherished the memories of Veer standing up for her against her training coach. However, even this source of support appeared to be wavering, and she couldn't help but wonder if her appearance was the cause.
Gurleen, Veer's mother, added another layer of concern by expressing dissatisfaction with Keerat's looks. The collective disapproval from family and community made Keerat question whether her chosen attire inadvertently conveyed a negative image of her.
As Keerat navigated these challenges, she grappled with the balance between staying true to herself and meeting the expectations of those around her. The evolving dynamics in her relationship with Veer added unemotional layer to her struggle, leaving her uncertain about how her choices in clothing might be influencing people's perceptions of her.
Despite the initial conflict caused by Keerat's decision to secretly release Veer's song, the unexpected success of the track turned the tide in their favor. Veer, a struggling singer, had made a promise to Keerat's parents that he would seek their daughter's hand in marriage once he achieved success in his music career.
Keerat's unwavering support played a crucial role in Veer's journey. She stood by him through thick and thin, acting as a strong pillar of encouragement during his struggles as an aspiring singer. Even when Veer became furious upon discovering Keerat's bold move of releasing his song without his knowledge, the unexpected outcome couldn't be ignored.
The song not only became a sensation but also catapulted Veer into overnight stardom. His popularity soared, and fans multiplied, bringing joy not only to Veer but also to the Brar family. While they were undoubtedly proud of their son's accomplishments, they couldn't overlook the significant role Keerat had played in this success story.
The Brar family, despite initial concerns, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude towards Keerat. Her determination, love, and bold actions had contributed to Veer's breakthrough in the music industry, making her an integral part of his journey to success. As Veer's popularity continued to rise, it seemed that the promise of marriage and a bright future for Keerat and Veer was becoming a reality.
Keerat's decision to change her attire for Veer was driven in part by the unwelcome attention from Sasha, a particularly clingy fan of Veer. Sasha had not only been overly possessive of Veer but had also insulted Keerat, targeting her appearance and blaming her looks. Frustrated and hurt by Sasha's behavior, Keerat hoped that altering her attire might somehow alleviate the negative attention.
Opting for a short golden dress with a vintage charm, Keerat anticipated a positive reaction from Veer. However, instead of finding solace and support from him, she faced his laughter and apparent mockery. This turn of events, coupled with Veer's unexpected declaration to Garry about their relationship “She is my girl, I can talk to her and treat her however I want”,left Keerat emotionally shattered.
The incident not only highlighted the challenges of dealing with an overly clingy fan like Sasha but also raised deeper concerns about the changing dynamics within Keerat and Veer's relationship. As she grappled with hurtful comments, laughter, and a sense of betrayal, Keerat found herself at across roads, questioning the authenticity of the love she once shared with Veer.
As Veer's fame continued to grow, Keerat couldn't shake offthe growing concern that it might strain their relationship. The spotlight on Veer brought with it new challenges and pressures, and she feared that these changes could adversely affect the connection they once shared.
Keerat was apprehensive about the potential impact of fame on their relationship dynamics. She had witnessed first hand the strain fame had placed on her sister Sahiba's relationship with Angad. Despite Sahiba's efforts, Angad seemed quick to blame her for issues, creating a tense and challenging atmosphere in their marriage.
Keerat stared at the lilac and silver suit laid out on the bed, accompanied by matching bangles and jewelry. The Brar family had summoned them for a crucial discussion, and Santosh, Keerat's mother, insisted that she dress up for the occasion. Reluctantly, she picked up the ensemble, hoping that the elegant attire would somehow soften the impact of the forthcoming discussion and perhaps even captivate Veer.
As Keerat began to adorn herself in the carefully chosen outfit, she couldn't shake the underlying tension and curiosity about the purpose of the meeting. The intricacies of the lilac and silver suit seemed to mirror the complexity of the situation she was about to face, and she couldn't help but wonder how this formal gathering might influence her relationship with Veer.
Draped in the attire that Santosh had selected, Keerat looked at herself in the mirror, silently hoping that the effort she put into dressing up would not only meet her mother's expectations but also serve as a silent expression of her feelings to Veer. The lilac and silver hues shimmered, and the matching bangles and jewelry added a touch of grace to her appearance, creating a sense of anticipation as she prepared to face the important family discussion ahead.
As Keerat accompanied her parents into the Brar mansion, the air was thick with anticipation. The vibrant decorations and curious glances from family members hinted at an important event or announcement. Veer, although smiling and seeking blessings, appeared preoccupied with his phone,causing Keerat to feel a sense of disconnection.
As the family gathered for the discussion, Keerat, flanked by her parents, entered the room with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. The lilac and silver suit she wore shimmered in the elegant surroundings, yet her focus remained on the unfolding events. She wondered what awaited them and how this gathering might impact her relationship with Veer.
The journey into the Brar mansion marked a moment of transition for Keerat, where the beauty of the decorations and the collective gaze of the family set the stage for what could be a significant turning point in her life.
As Keerat greeted everyone and took her seat beside her parents, she couldn't help but notice the teasing looks exchanged by her sisters. Curious about the matter at hand, she inquired, but her sisters remained silent, adding to the intrigue.
Darthji, the head of the family, began to speak, addressing Ajit Ji and Santosh, Keerat's parents. His words carried a sense of purpose and significance.
Darthji: Ajiit Ji, Santosh, we are all aware that Veer and Keerat both love each other, so I am here to formalize their union with your permission.
The room fell into a momentary hush as the weight of Darthji's words settled in. The approval of Keerat's parents was crucial inthis familial decision. Gurleen performed the chunni rasam, a symbolic gestureof acceptance, the Brar mansion echoed with sentiments of love and acceptance, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Veer and Keerat within the embrace of their united family.
Gurleen: “Keerat Puttar, as I place this chunni over you, it symbolizes not just acceptance but a promise of inclusion. You are a cherished member of our family now, and we celebrate your presence with love and joy. May this ritual bind us in shared traditions and moments, welcoming you into the Brar family fold. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the love you bring to Veer's life and ours. I realize now that my initial judgments were unfounded, and for that, I sincerely apologize. Your presence enriches our family, and I'm thankful for the happiness you've brought. May our journey together be filled with understanding and shared moments of joy."
Keerat took blessing from Gurleen and everyone blessed the couple by feeding them sweets. Keerat couldn’t help but notice that Veer was constantly checking his phone and seem uninterested. The room was abuzz with laughter and cheerful chatter, but all eyes turned towards Veer as he abruptly stood up, his gaze fixed on something beyond the celebration.
Veer's sudden departure took everyone by surprise. The lively atmosphere was momentarily replaced by a hushed silence, broken only by the faint sounds of the ongoing celebration. Garry, Kiara, and Ekam exchanged puzzled glances, their smiles fading as they tried to comprehend Veer's unexpected behavior.
Sahiba and Angad, who had been orchestrating the playful scenario, exchanged a brief glance, their playful expressions turning into mild concern. The room seemed to hold its breath as Keerat, still in her quest to surprise Veer, paused mid-step, her eyes widening at the unforeseen turn of events.
Veer's abrupt exit left an unspoken question lingering in the room, and the family, momentarily puzzled, awaited an explanation for his sudden departure. The festive air now carried an undercurrent of curiosity and uncertainty, creating a pause in the joyous celebration that had filled the room just moments before. She got to the garden and was shocked to see Veer passionately hugging Sasha.
The garden, once a serene haven, now witnessed a scene that shattered Keerat's world. As she arrived, a cold realization gripped her heart— Veer, the man she had just pledged to spend her life with, stood passionately hugging Sasha. The moonlight accentuated the starkness of the moment, casting long shadows that seemed to mirror the sudden darkness that enveloped Keerat's emotions.
Veer, caught off guard, slowly disengaged from the embraces he turned to face Keerat. His eyes, clouded with surprise and guilt, met Keerat's hurt gaze. The weight of the unspoken truth hung heavily in the air.
Keerat, struggling to find her voice, finally spoke, her tone a mix of disbelief and pain.
Keerat: "Veer, what... what is this?"
Veer, attempting to explain, stumbled over his words.
Veer: "Keerat, it's not what you think. I can—"
Keerat, her heartache turning into a surge of strength, interrupted him.
Keerat: "No, Veer. I don't need an explanation. Your actions speak louder than words."
As Veer attempted to explain, Keerat's resolve grew stronger. The moonlight cast an ethereal glow on the unfolding drama, intensifying the emotions in the air.
Keerat: "Veer, there's nothing you can say that would justify this."
Before Veer could respond, Sasha, reveling in the chaos shehad caused, interjected with a mocking laugh.
Sasha: "Oh please, spare me the melodrama. Looks likeyour Mr. Superstar here enjoys a little side action. Can't blame him, though.Who would want to be with a girl like you!
Keerat, her patience waning, shot Sasha a stern look.
Keerat: "Sasha, you need to shut up. This is between Veer and me, and your opinion is not welcome."
Sasha, undeterred, continued with a venomous smirk.
Sasha: "Oh, I'm sure he was just enjoying a break, I can give him stuff you can’t”
Keerat, seething with anger, couldn't hold back any longer.
Keerat: "Enough! I won't let you insult me like this."
Just as Keerat was about to say more, Veer, caught in the crossfire and perhaps feeling cornered, added fuel to the fire.
Veer: “Keerat, stop it, she is my fan, I won’t let you insult her like this”
Keerat: She is your fan, I am your finance, did you tell her that?”
The atmosphere in the garden remained charged as Keerat confronted Veer, demanding answers and seeking clarity amid the emotional chaos.
Keerat: "Veer, I can't believe you're defending her. I'm your fiancée, and this is how you treat me?"
Veer, torn between his conflicting loyalties, attempted toexplain.
Veer: "Keerat, it's not like that. Sasha is just a fan,and I didn't expect things to go this far."
Keerat, her frustration mounting, wasn't ready to accept hisjustification.
Keerat: "A fan? Veer, this goes beyond being just afan. Hugging and enjoying breaks – that's not how you treat a fan."
Veer, defensive and perhaps feeling the weight of guilt,responded with a hint of frustration.
Veer: "You wouldn't understand, Keerat. The music industry is complicated, and I need all the support I can get."
Keerat, feeling a surge of betrayal, shot back with determination.
Keerat: "Support? Is this the kind of support I should expect from you when we're facing challenges? By hugging another woman?"
Veer, realizing the severity of the situation, softened histone.
Veer: "Keerat, I messed up. I never meant to hurt you.Sasha is just a fan; I promise I'll make things right."
Keerat, unwilling to let the matter rest, stood her ground.
Keerat: "It's not just about Sasha, Veer. It's about us. Can I trust you to be loyal to our relationship, or am I just another complication in your rising fame?"
Sasha, seizing the opportunity to further fuel the chaos,interjected with a triumphant smirk.
Sasha: "Oh, Keerat, don't act so innocent. Veer and I have been more than physical. He's just too afraid to admit it."
Keerat, her eyes widening with shock and disbelief, turned her gaze toward Veer, seeking some form of denial or explanation.
Keerat: "Veer, is this true?"
Veer, caught between the conflicting statements, struggled to respond.
Veer: "Keerat, I... it's not exactly how she's saying."
Sasha, reveling in the turmoil she had created, continued her taunts.
Sasha: "He's just trying to save face. We had our fun,and now he's stuck with you and your wrestler dreams."
Keerat, feeling a surge of anger and humiliation, confronted Veer with a mixture of hurt and defiance.
Keerat: "Is this what our relationship has come to,Veer? Lies, betrayal, and secrets?"
Veer, unable to meet Keerat's gaze, muttered a half-heartedresponse.
Veer: "Keerat, I didn't mean for it to happen this way.I... I messed up."
As Keerat's anger erupted like a tempest, the moonlit gardenbore witness to a confrontation fueled by betrayal and dashed promises. Keerat,unable to contain the maelstrom of emotions within, seized Veer's collar withtrembling hands, her eyes reflecting a storm of anger and sorrow.
Keerat: "Why, Veer? We promised to stand by each otherthrough thick and thin. We pledged to face every problem together. How couldyou do this to us?"
Veer, ensnared in the grip of Keerat's righteous fury,struggled to maintain eye contact.
Veer: "Keerat, I messed up. I never meant for things to get so complicated. I—"
Keerat, her voice cutting through the night with escalating intensity, interjected.
Keerat: "Complicated? This is not just a complication,Veer. This is a betrayal of everything we stood for. I trusted you, and you've shattered that trust."
Her grasp on Veer's collar tightened, not as an act of aggression, but as a desperate attempt to convey the depth of her feelings, the profound hurt he had inflicted upon her.
Keerat: "I even tried to change myself for you, Veer. I altered who I am because I thought it would make a difference. But did you ever appreciate it? Did you see the sacrifices I made for our relationship?"
Keerat: “Give me an answer Veer why? I stood by you when nobodywas supporting you, I belived in you and your talent and this is what I get back, betrayal, if you had someone else I would have rather you broke up with me,you should have said the truth”
The family who were all sat inside celebrating the new alliance couldn't comprehend what had happened and rushed to the garden. Upon reaching there, they were shocked to hear the truth. The revelation rippled through the family gathering like an unexpected storm, leaving both sets of families bewildered and disheartened. The festive atmosphere inside the Brar mansion transformed into a somber backdrop as the truth unraveled in the moonlit garden.
Ina fit of anger, Veer, overwhelmed by the accusations and the escalating confrontation, pushed Keerat forcefully, causing her to stumble backward. The sudden physical act further fueled the intensity of the charged atmosphere in the moonlit garden. Veer, momentarily forgetting the strength and resilience that came with Keerat's identity as a trainee wrestler, seemed poised to escalate the situation further.
However, as Veer moved to raise his hands, Keerat's wrestler instincts kicked in. Swiftly recovering from the stumble, she skillfully blocked Veer's attempt to inflict harm. In that charged moment, the moonlight highlighted the determination in Keerat's eyes as she met aggression with are solute stand.
With a controlled yet forceful motion, Keerat retaliated, delivering a strong, well-directed blow – a physical manifestation of the pent-up anger, hurt, and betrayal she felt. The impact echoed through the garden, marking a significant turning point in their relationship. The family members who had been silent witnesses to the unfolding drama were taken a back by this unexpected display of strength and retaliation.
In the garden, where promises were broken and trust shattered, Keerat's response, both physical and emotional, became a powerful statement of her unwillingness to be a victim. The clash of emotions had transitioned from words to actions, leaving the onlookers in a state of shock,as the perfect facade of love and celebration crumbled into the harsh realityof a fractured relationship.
As the moonlit garden became the arena for a tumultuous confrontation between Keerat and Veer, the atmosphere was charged withemotions. The sudden push from Veer and Keerat's swift response had everyone frozen in shock.
Sahiba:(rushing forward) "Keerat, stop!"
Sahiba, sensing the escalating tension, hurriedly intervened to prevent further physical confrontation. She positioned herself between Keerat and Veer, her hands raised in a calming gesture.
Sahiba: "This won't solve anything. Let's talk,okay?"
Keerat, still seething with anger, hesitated but reluctantly stepped back, allowing Sahiba to diffuse the immediate threat of physical confrontation.
Meanwhile, Angad and Garry, witnessing Veer's aggressive behavior, rushed to restrain him.
Angad:(firmly) "Veer, calm down! This isn't the way to handle things."
Garry: (disappointed) "What the hell, Veer? This is not how you treat someone you love. I told you that day when you were being rude to Keerat aswell”
The disappointment in Garry's voice echoed the sentiments of the family members who had held Veer in high regard. The once-celebratory atmosphere had transformed into an emotionally charged battlefield, and Veer's actions had shattered the image of the best-behaved boy in the family.
Gurleen: (slappingVeer) "How dare you? Is this how I have raised you Veer?"
Gurleen's slap echoed through the garden, symbolizing not just a physical reprimand but also a profound expression of the family's disapproval. The shock on Veer's face mirrored the gravity of his actions, realizing that he had not only betrayed Keerat but had also lost the respect and trust of those closest to him.
The family members, once united in celebration, now stood divided by the harsh reality of the broken promises and shattered trust.
Keerat's voice trembled with a mix of anger, betrayal, and a hint of vulnerability.
Keerat:"There is nothing left to talk about, Sahiba Di.How can I marry someone who... who doesn't respect our relationship, our promises, me?"
Her eyes, reflecting the pain she felt, sought understanding from her sister Sahiba, who stood there trying to navigate through the wreckageof the once-promising union.
Seerat (softly) "Keerat, I know this is incredibly painful, but let's not make decisions in the heat of the moment. We can sort this out."
Keerat, still processing the shock of Veer's betrayal, shook her head, a mixture of defiance and sadness in her eyes.
Keerat: "Di, this is beyond repair. Trust once broken is hard to mend. I won't allow myself to be in a relationship where I'm not valued. I see how your marriage is with Angad Jiju. You both love each other,but when something wrong happens, he always blames you. Even though he doesn’t physically abuse you, he emotionally does, and you think it's love."
The weight of Keerat's words hung in the air, cutting through the tension with a raw honesty that forced everyone to confront uncomfortable truths.
Angad, who had been standing at a distance, overheard Keerat's observation. The realization hit him, a moment of clarity that he couldn't ignore.
Angad:(softly, to himself) "Is this true?"
Sahiba, caught between the turmoil of her sister's pain and her husband's introspection, struggled to find words.
Sahiba: "Keerat, it's complicated. Every relationship has its challenges."
Keerat: "Di, love shouldn't come with constant blame and emotional turmoil. It shouldn't hurt this way. I won't accept a relationship that breaks me piece by piece."
As the reality of Keerat's words sank in, the moonlit garden witnessed a family grappling with the complexities of love, relationships, and the profound impact of choices on the course of their lives.
Sahiba, torn between supporting her sister and the desire to salvage the situation, could only watch as Keerat grappled with the harsh reality of her shattered dreams.
Keerat turned to Veer one last time and spoke
Keerat: "Thank you for the good moments we shared, but I can't be with you anymore. I tried my best to change for you, but this is what I got back in return."
With a mix of gratitude for the happy times and the pain of betrayal, Keerat expressed her final decision, closing a chapter that had once held the promise of a lasting and meaningful connection. The raw emotions inher words echoed the complexity of love and the inevitable toll of unhealed wounds.
As the weight of Veer's actions and the shattered trust bore down on Keerat, she felt an overwhelming need to reclaim her dignity and pride. In a moment of decisive strength, she unclasped the chunni that Gurleen had placed on her, symbolizing acceptance into the Brar family. With a swift yet deliberate motion, Keerat tossed the chunni onto Veer's face, an act that symbolized her rejection of the false promises and her refusal to be confined by the expectations of others.
Keerat: (tossing the chunni onto Veer's face) "I won't carry the weight of false promises and shattered trust. This chunni meant something different a while ago, but now it's just a reminder of what I won't accept."
With her head held high, Keerat walked away from the moon lit garden, leaving behind not just a broken relationship but a symbol of her resilience and commitment to being true to herself. The act resonated not only with her personal journey but also with the unspoken struggles of many who grapple with societal expectations.
As Keerat walked away from the tumultuous scene in the moonlit garden, the impact of her decision rippled through the emotions of those who witnessed her departure.
Ajit Ji and Santosh, though upset to see their daughter in pain, couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride. Their daughter had chosen self-respect over a relationship tainted by betrayal. In that moment,they realized the strength that had always resided within Keerat and admired her courage to prioritize herself.
The realization hit Sahiba with a profound intensity. Keerat's act of self-reflection and prioritizing her well-being struck a chord.Sahiba, who had at times compromised her own happiness in the name of love,understood the significance of Keerat's decision. It served as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining one's identity and self-respect in any relationship.
Seerat, witnessing her sister's strength in the face of heartbreak, couldn't help but admire Keerat. Her sister, seemingly unbroken despite the emotional turmoil, showcased a resilience that left Seerat in awe.
The tears in Keerat's eyes as she walked away didn't go unnoticed by anyone. Keerat's departure echoed through the silent garden, leaving a profound impact on those who had been mere spectators to the unraveling of a love story. The moonlight cast shadows on the path Keerat treaded, each step resonating with the echoes of strength, self-respect, and the profound silence of a heart mending itself.
The moonlight, witness to the unfolding drama, now illuminated Keerat's path as she stepped out of the garden, her pride intact, ready to embrace the journey ahead with a renewed sense of identity and purpose. In the hushed aftermath of Keerat's departure, Garry's eyes held a mix of empathy and concern, subtly revealing a depth of emotions that went beyond mere familial ties, hinting at a lingering affection for Keerat.
