There are so many good looking couples in the telly world. I've lost count. Yet, it's only once in a blue moon that you find a couple who cross the obvious boundaries and come to mean a lot more than two people in love.
I've followed a lot of Ekta serials and yes, there were some interesting jodis there. But Ekta being Ekta spoilt it for me every single time. Though I've killed the dreamer in me(well almost), there's this part of me that sighs in happiness every time I see someone falling in love. For me, the process is very important. And I go dizzy with happiness every time there's the ghisa pita scene of how the hero hates the heroine at first, but can't resist her and eventually manhandles her and lets her know that she's his alone. Well, those scenes appeal to the M&B reading, unemancipated part of my soul.
And then there's the age old formula of ugly duckling winning the heart of the Perfect Guy. Well, this is why Jassi, and partly Pride and Prejudice are favorites.
LTL, for me, was another story like this. I started watching it coz I wanted to see her transform, I wanted to see the guy falling for her like crazy. What I didn't expect was the marriage. I loved the way he kept hating her after the marriage. If he'd fallen for her halfway, it'd have become like any other serial. But no, it was a slow process. The cliff scene where she refuses to leave him must've been the moment. Then came Jagtap, and his realization that she was the One, his true love.
I didn't expect him to fall in love with the dark Nakku. But he did fall for her simplicity and her goodness. It made him a hero in my eyes. It wasn't like the other serials where the hero conveniently falls for the girl at first sight, or just coz of her adaas, all that is plain lust in my opinion.
There's something so pure about the TaSha relationship. He's worldly wise,but somewhere he's shy when it comes to expressing his love. Yes, there will be intimate, more sensual scenes later(hopefullyš),but for the moment what amazes me is the way they're content with talking to each other with their eyes, the way their hearts call out to each other in distress, and the way they're just talking to each other. Also, love's not being in front of each other. Their love makes them happy, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're oblivious to the rest of the world always. There's that contentment on Dutta's face, in his life which is proof enough that he's found true love. There's this glow about Naku coz she knows she's loved for herself and not for the color of her skin. Ah, a guy who loves her for what she is, just the way she is. Isn't that what she'd wished for all along?
Naku knows him inside out, he's an open book. But I want him to get to know herbetter. I know, he's still like a turbulent sea, but unless he learns to trust her implicitly, and understand her reasons for hiding her truth, he'll never be perfect.
I've read/watched so many stories where at the end, inspite of having promised the girl the world, the hero disowns her at the slightest hint of trouble. It irks me. Somehow I want TaSha to be above that. The creators have fleshed out the characters so beautifully and etched their souls so well! And I do believe, the greater a person's soul, the deeper he loves. So TaSha, rise beyond the obvious and be my perfect jodi. Love you!
