From the blessed day i chanced upon this serial..i took to Riddhima.Not that i didnt take to Armaan.Oh he is darling,the one and only sweetest cutest bunnykins!!But Riddhima became close to my heart because here she was a pretty young doctor with good heart,sound head and firm convictions...with that she probably wouldnt qualify for the PERFECT BAHU or the PERFECT PATNI or blah blah...but she seemed to be a REAL person...a little chammak challo with an attitude and justified at that...after all brains and beauty is a good combination...
And i waited and waited for her to emerge an individual from under the shadows of her father and sister.When Armaan looked deeper into her and saw a beautiful sensible sensitive caring loving young woman,he did everything to make her come forth with her personality.She screamed at him,played pranks to get even,made mistakes,made peace,fell in love..well couldnt help falling in love with the good doctor..like we all did..😊...and then in the first flush of love she bloomed,she got envious,she became sad in his absence,and when faced with some hard facts she felt betrayed,she let her anger..her biggest vice get better of her......and she was not be be blamed entirely...she was insecure,she was unsure...she was scared..of getting hurt....
And when she saw the damage her fit of rage had caused,she was shaken,she was hurt and she was determined to give life and its cheer back to the one who had loved her with all his being...
so she danced to his tunes,raced alongside him to brace him,fought his enemies with her might and brought him back .alive and kicking again...but she remained aloof still..keeping her feelings locked inside...never voicing her emotions...never opening up her heart....
But the love of her life the good doctor never gave up on her...for he loves her more than anything in this world..he laughs when she does,cries when she does,he lives for her...
And yet she kept pushing him away till he finally camouflaged his love in the name if friendship and slowly put away his own insecurities to make way to her heart again...
And this time she took to him...without any intimidation...without any fear..without any insecurity...with still some love in her heart....
Finally after months of living silently with the pain of finding her long lost mom but never being able to admit/acknowledge/shout out the fact to the world... her life took the most beautiful turn ...her Mom was coming home..to be with her..forever.
Overwhelmed with this happiness she couldnt contain herself and let her TEARS OF JOY flow and along with them the months of anguish,pain,insecurities,fears...all took form of words...
SHe poured her heart out to her sweetheart...for he was there...as he always is..by her side..to hold her..to comfort her..to listen to her..to love her...her confidant ..her friend
She was afraid she said..because she thought she could never imagine such joy...she was afraid because everytime happiness came her way,it was followed by sorrow..she was afraid of getting hurt...again...
And Armaan and we all...understood her ...her reasons,her emotions..her feelings...her turmoil...her anguish...her happiness..her sadness...her pain...her confusion...as she let them all flow like her TEARS OF JOY.
Finally she broke her own barriers...finally she talked to him ..she listened to him intently while he gave her the mantra to happiness and she let go of her fears in the warmth and cradle of his comfort.
My sincere and heartfelt congratulations to SUKRUTI on her fabulous work yesterday.SHe brought alive Riddhima and no one could have done it better!
