Jai & Bani remind me of Shekhar & Lolita!

If you guys have seen last year's classic movie, Parineeta, starring Saif Ali Khan and Vidya Balan, you would notice the startling similarities between Saif's character Shekhar and Jai and also a lot of similarity between Vidya's character Lolita and Bani!

Shekhar Rai in the movie was spoilt, obstinate, arrogant, egoistical yet loving, warm, child-like and a loner!

Jai Walia in Kasamh Se is uncanninly similar, mature from outside, a complete child from inside, extremely arrogant in behaviour, humble in character, egoistical and obstinate in his views, yet understanding and warm by thought.....

Lolita in the movie was the archetypical Indian girl, maternal, full of goodness, compassionate, understanding and loyal, yet extremely self-respecting and independent!

Bani is a ditto copy of Lolita's character except that Lolita was more spirited and lively, while Bani is extremely docile and subdued!

Shekhar was palpably and desperately in love with Lolita but could never realize the fact himself......

Lolita was dedicatedly and devotedly in love with Shekhar and realized the same, but her self-respect refused to let her confess it.....

Their relationship remained stagnant till a third person (Sanjay Dutt's character Girish) came between them causing immense jealousy and insecurity in Shekhar which ultimately leads him to confess his love for Lolita....

The third person in Kasamh Se is none other than Roshini who will lead to Bani getting jealous and Jai getting insecure....which might ultimately lead them to confess their feelings for one another!

Also, remember how jealous and upset Lolita gets when Shekhar unwittingly praises Gayatri (Dia Mirza) in front of her.....somehow reminds me of Bani's reaction when Roshini flirts with Jai in front of her....😊

The only difference being that Shekhar and Lolita knew each other from childhood and never loved anyone else except one another while Jai and Bani know each other only for the past few months and they have both loved other people passionatley....

What say? If anyone of you has seen Parineeta, please do post your views on the similarities!

Love,

In one of my older posts... I had commented that I want it go the Parineeta route. But not in the sense of your views.. but I wanted the lively romance of Parineeta that was displayed by Shekar and Lolita.
But I cannot visualize Jai as Ram for the soft romantic side.. I wish I could 😭

yup agree with u dear
😃

ya quite true buddy never thought of it u always analyse so well mt u r juz tooo gud

yes there are quite a lot of similarities but I don't think Jai will be that romantic. How i wish we could see Jai getting jealous instead of Bani.
Who knows after this Roshni twist is done, Pushkar-Bani love(even though one sided) will be shown and hopefully we will see a jealous jai as well. That's what I am hoping to see.

But as of now its difficult to imagine Jai has a soft romantic side to him. But I am sure he does. The only question is will Ekta explore that side of his personality. Even during the farmhouse episodes only Bani's feelings were shown and not Jai's. So I am not too sure if that's what we will see.

Nice observations , MT...never thought of that..Yes Jai is pretty similar to Shekhar..very egoistic, dynamic n late to realize his true love..but the storylines are different.. n Bani can be seen in a lot of Indian womenish characters. And yes, I wanted Jai to be the one 'jealous' and not Bani..

U know .. If Bani does show her Jealous side ... .. it will shock Our Khadoos Munna .. 😊
in Parineeta ..shekhar and Lolita .. were childhood friends .. and conversed .. Here .. There is no Personal conversation at all
Bani too Can Be Lively .. but .. with her Dad Passing away .. and financial problems .. along with responsibility of 2 sisters.makes life a lil serious .

Its more like Devdas and Chandramukhi kind of relationship if you ask me. Devdas's love for Paro was all consuming, he couldn't see beyond her and was blind to Chandramukhi's virtues despite the fact that she loved him to death.

lolz datz true just like that movie parineeta

wow, i havent actually watched parineeta...but if it resembles jai and bani's characters...i HAVE to watch it 😉 😆 😳
