The Sajan Journey - Derailed or Abandoned?

Since the last two years, we've been watching a journey unfold ' a journey that started with a cliche ... stud boy and shy girl ... teasing, tears ... then a shy, hesitant friendship, which strengthened more and more ... till two best friends found their soul-mates in each other ... and almost inevitably...fell in love. Simple story ... portrayed simply and elegantly, with sweetness, grace and charm, a lack of over-the-top dramatics, which made it seem 'boring' to some, and a heart-touching sincerity and soul-stirring depth of emotions, which made it seem far beyond typical college romance, which gave it the feeling of 'true love', a love that happens once in a lifetime, and only to a chosen few, a joining of soul-mates, of two people destined for each other for a lifetime.

We Sajan fans journeyed with this couple through their many roadblocks and obstacles ... from Gunjan's first heartbreak over Sheena, and Samrat's long delayed realization, from the misunderstanding over Gunjan's confession and then finally the most awaited Samrat-Gunjan love 'confession' ... and we got ready for a happy ending ... end of journey?

Not quite yet. First obstacle post confession between the ideal couple, whose hallmark was their communication - a miscommunication ... over Samrat's unknown sister ... Resolved along with MN wedding. Now Sajan's turn ... end of journey?

Again ... not yet. Gunjan thought marriage, Samrat didn't even believe in it. Another roadblock ... which almost became a tragic ending ... Gunjan's shooting and subsequent paralysis. Again distances grew, as she felt a paralysed girl couldn't be good enough for Samrat.. But she recovered ... and Sajan were back together. Surely we would get our happy ending now?

Again NO! first the silliest of tracks ... an unknown baby from nowhere ... so more distances ... and then, a blast from the past ... Neil, Gunjan's silent lover ... who wanted to see her aim for the stars ... yet another estrangement as Gunjan tried to balance love and career ... and Samrat tried to battle jealousy and insecurity ... resolved by Samrat finally proposing and one more milestone ... Sajan engagement ... NOW surely we would get our happy ending ?

Nope ... STILL no ... the biggest roadblock of all ... the presumed death of Nupur, blamed (most unfairly) on Samrat and the longest estrangement of all ... for the first time, with bitterness, hate and the stormiest of emotions ... the most realistic track of MJHT, and unfortunately, the least appreciated. We saw a beautiful groW*H in both Samrat and Gunjan - new maturity, new emotions, and an intensity that had us glued to each episode and the endless, often heated discussions that followed it. And the depth and breadth of those discussions showed how real and true those characters had become and how beautifully you had carved this step of this journey.

But ... But ... But .. it came to yet another abrupt and half-baked end ... with the miraculous return of Nupur ... and we hoped ... once again ... for our happy ending ... after all, we had stuck with the show through its worst times ... we deserved it.

Well, in a way, we've got an ending ... though not the happy ending we wanted. Because that Samrat and Gunjan, whom we loved for the last two years have disappeared somewhere after the last brilliant scene of S2 ... the Look At Me scene as we call it. ... and many Sajan fans have left the show with the disappearance of those Samrat and Gunjan.

BUT Samrat and Gunjan .. or their lookalikes ... are still in the show ... and hopeless fools that we are ... we still want our happy ending ...

So our question to the CV's ... is the beautiful Sajan journey of the last two years only temporarily derailed and should we keep hoping that you will bring the real Samrat and Gunjan back from whichever wilderness you have consigned them? Or has this journey been permanently abandoned?

And one more plea ... just let us know whether we should even hope any more ... so that we can resign ourselves to watching mindless brainless stuff in the name of entertainment ... or decide NOT to.

Hey Diya, an amazing post yet again - truly and sadly ... a depiction of our plight ... at the current moment with regards to the treatment done with our beloved SaJan

i dont need to explain here again i suppose for the millionth time why i love em or actually anyone here does... the CV's - the original team knows what it had created in them in season 1 ... the era which made us fall so madly and irrevocably in love with em - they are truly the best conceived and transformed characters in MJHT ... when in the beginning they had seemed to be the cliche' ones

however ... I'd like to mention them here in the second phase ... the post leap - Season 2 ... and why why was it that it was not the boy and girl that i loved that they once were which made me still love em the reason i watched this show... no it was why i came to fall in love with the MAN & WOMAN ... that they had grown into that i felt the love once for the same BOY & GIRL - is merely the tip of the iceberg.. in comparison.

I need not say this that SaJan were always meant to be the couple who were aimed for the classes ... the niche audience who prefers something subtle with sensibilities and depth and great amount of understanding... they were all that in season 1 alright .. but with Season 2 - they just upped their notch carved a niche ... by themselves which is so so rare on Indian TV honestly - anyone who has missed the first 2 months of season 2 or who cannot appreciate that phase truly has no taste which can qualify for sophistication class elan and true STORIES ...

here was not the story of the boy and girl we had once seen or known ... season 2 was the story of the enigma they had become - the MAN & WOMAN - time and fate had molded them into - 2 headstrong individuals who were scorched and burnt brutally with the harshness of life who had explored and learned through a devastating experience that life is not always a bed of roses and its grim realities... something which they shared - something which tied em up - was something which caused them to have a fall out ... part - from each other and themselves too... no they weren't the same people anymore - who once knew each other in and out - who had very vividly pictured their life together knowing ... that they are soulmates - meant for each other... who had no inhibitions in shedding their weaknesses and their shortcomings and rising above it had learned to laugh together - cry together - live together and mostly love each other forever

no they werent that

HE was a man haunted by his past doomed in his present and lost about his future ... yes all was lost to him - when 1 moment changed the course of his life forever and he transformed from the guy who was sunshine personified to someone who had lost his very zest for life... an intense mature and colorless man ... who was driven by only 1 urge - to not let anyone else walk down the path on which he had a fall .....

SHE became truly charismatic in her appearance transforming from the simple girl who always dressed in tints to someone rather alluring with brightness painted all over her... however the truth was she was lost completely ... being alone for the first time in her life truly with no protection or guardianship ... not the family she always deeply cared for by her side and nor the love on whom she relied on and counted more then her life

and then ....... they met... 3 years later - once 2 inseparable lovers - who had dreamed of a future together collided and there were FIREWORKS... BEAUTY... BRILLIANCE ... and UNPARALLELED UNMATCHED NEWFANGLED OUTCOMES - yes it was something radiant and different on TV.

when he met her... he was revived again infused with one sole purpose in life - to bring back her smile again ... with nothing asked in return when she met him ... despite all the pain and hurt .. beneath it she still loved him and cared for him and yet there was a struggle.. her inner battle where her love for him was as strong as her hate.. and they began their new journey

he lied to her again; he confessed on his own; she was hurt again and decided to leave yet his challenge made her stay - he was hell bent to make her LIVE again ... as much as she was not to do so... and it was but impossible to not be fascinated by them - a delight where 2 people were at loggerheads despite still so in love and yet parted ... unable to cherish and live that love...

when after numerous attempts he finally heard her confession .... yes she still loved him .. instead of joy there was heartbreak - instead of union there was estrangement and instead of peace all hell broke loose when he learned .... she had figured him out all wrong all along and misinterpreted his intentions... he walked away from her ... vowing not to return and it finally hit her - he was gone ... she had lost him all over again once more... end of it all.....


Diya - that was brilliance that was amazement and that was a defining moving tale which in mere 2.5 months towers above the almost 2 years of foundation - yes the most beautiful love story after all ... 😍

________________________________________________

it seems they are still here but in the past 3 months everything - all of it has been massacred and butchered brutally at god knows whose call ... i mean i cannot at all understand how in the world could anyone want to destroy their most beautiful creation and that too so heartlessly

how can those people who had over 2 years painted such beauty made such a blunder that it seems they know nothing of their own creation at all 😕 ... those cv's who had tranformed the most cliche characters into such masterpieces killed them in 1 moment with no thoughts of consequences at all ... how ??

how were they so blinded to not see this is massacre - of their own creation with their own hands and ruining of their 2 years of hard work blood and sweat

i m truly aghast at the plight of us viewers ... and shocked and wondering what's wrong with these cv's ?

Just wanted to say.... I agree diya... We kept stuck with mjht in its each and every phase and this is what we are getting.. Its not about scenes its about tracks and their appropriate endings.. And this time.... WE TOTALLY DESERVE IT!! 😎

We want our old Samrat and Gunjan back who spoke through their eyes and who attracted us by their charismatic bond... 😳

Sumi, don't be ... 😆 ... this was not about today's episode ... but about the track per se ... today there was hardly any Sajan ...

Diya, I have no answer to your question, but the one thing I know is there has been an end- the end of the most beautiful track in MJHT, without any explanation, without justification.The end was with the Look At Me scene, after which we saw SaJan only as people who shared the same faces and names as the original ones, but nowhere close to their charm, or their essence. That was the end we got, or rather the destruction, that can be termed as the most pathetic, the crappiest thing ever by the CVs. And unfortunately, I see no way the CVs can bring back the SaJan we lost then, seeing the way SaJan have been mishandled.

I just want to say no tv shows remain same all the time.even our life and relations are changing day by day.Aur yeh to ek tv show hai.Kya yaar tum log bhi ek epi mein khush aur ek epi mein naraz ho jate ho.Bas kucch hi din baki hai show ki.ab to criticize karna band karo.
