So the day we all, or at least some of us had been waiting for has finally come...
Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin finally ended and with that it truly feels like an end of an era!
I haven't watched the original season, but I can only understand how the audience might be feeling who have watched this show over the years. No matter how crappy the shows become, the end always brings a bittersweet feeling and nostalgia hits you hard.
I don't know if it's the channel's decision or the Ganja PH's sadism that they gave us this ending. But honestly, I loved it...
Those of you who know me or read my analysis before, it's not a news that I'm a self-proclaimed SaiSa admirer and Savi Bada is my favorite character from Ganja Verse.
It felt atrocious that after a lifetime of loss and pain when she finally found her happy ending, these ruthless makers brought her back to add even more trauma. What's worse they totally robbed this character of her agency and forcefully made her a bechari. The biggest blow was her pairing with Neel. Every single thing that could piss a normal person, Ganja makers have introduced this.
But they have been very smart about their ending - IMO, it's an open ending. SaRaj fans can rejoice that Rajat's memory is enough for Savi, SavNeel fans are celebrating that Savi did fall for Neel.
And I think both opinions are somewhat true.
Life is weird. People's emotion is even more so. I don't think it's possible for anyone to predict how our emotions can change over the time based on different situation and it's only futile to set a boundary.
I don't think Savi is wrong. The situation is wrong. When Ishan died, she still had IshanTanu who genuinely treated her as their daughter. She was shattered yet she had some bit of peace in her life.
When Sai entered into her life, that was the first time in years when she allowed herself to be happy. Eventually Rajat came, two mature people bonded over their love for the child and Savi found love again.
The issue is not whether a significant time has passed.
Rajat's death has hit Savi worse because this time she was being blamed for it. She lost her strongest support system and Neel helped her at that time. Even tough it wasn't romantic, he did provide her with a strong support.
But Neel's memory loss changed the equation. For the first time Savi saw a different side in Neel and kind of liked the attention she got, while also being aware that this love is for Neel's wife and not necessarily her. She liked him, yet it wasn't solidified.
And Leena's words hurt her. she has lost literally everyone she loved. So feeling that burden and taking a decision to walk away makes perfect sense.
If they met in different circumstances, probably they could or could not end up together. But if Savi chose to stay behind, that would be unfair to both of them. She would never be 100% sure whether Neel loves her as compulsion or is it genuine and Neel also would be stuck in the same loop of marriage for convenience.
With this ending, Neel has kind of redeemed himself as this time he's respecting Savi's choice and Savi is on her way to heal herself where she can finally choose for herself independent of her link with anyone.
Also, she did the right thing as a mother because the sooner Sai accepted the truth, the better would it be for her.
This ending finally gives both the characters to grieve and heal while honoring their deceased better halves.
I wish a lot of unintentional scenes hadn't taken place because that made SavNeel look like two s** deprived people who couldn't wait to get laid. But if I choose to believe their dialogues and the way things turned out, I believe in their loyalty and I'm glad that they parted ways on good terms...
I love it when a show gives tribute to each of its character. Today my heart filled with joy seeing SaiRat, Vinu, IshanTanu, Ishan and Rajat as Savi moved on. And her smile at the last scene was heartbreakingly beautiful. Savi was Sai's world, and now she carries her father's legacy with her little Sai beside her. Life truly came a full circle for her and I couldn't be happier...
