Mods: (Khushii especially) I have checked this post and don't find anything objectionable. But if you have any reservations, kindly state your reasons before taking action or shifting my comments elsewhere.
Fellow TRians: Don't be fooled by the calmness in my post. Because I am far from calm right now. I had to leave the house with moist eyes, a solemn face and a heavy heart. I, like the rest of you, am shattered. If it hasn't been identified already through my posts, I have adored TR with all my heart and soul. And me being the emotional fool that I am, formed an emotional attachment with them. And now with the news that Taani has gone for good and that Vrinda won't be back...I feel empty. But there are a few points that I want to raise so please be patient.
What changed?
If you all remember, when Vrinda was fairly new to the show, she gave an interview to Telly Chakkar in which she commented that she sees herself in D3 for the next 5 years! That's quite a strong statement. Yes, people change their minds with time and circumstances play a huge part in that. But I would like to ask, what has happened that made Vrinda want to leave? More importantly, is it EVEN her OWN decision? We will speculate and raise questions but truth is, we shall never find out the truth. We will only hear what the PH will feed the media. But I just hope that Vrinda has not been cornered into taking a decision.
Why play games?
I, like the rest of you, would've appreciated it if Palki and Co. would've been direct with us. They kept us hanging, kept us hoping that everything would turn out just fine in the end. We were fooled. And THIS is what I call being cruel. They've remained silent throughout, adding salt to the wounds. And it's spineless behaviour. Palki is known to be a very straight forward woman. I would've expected her to at least be honest with TR fans.
No one cares
Hell no, folks. Do any of you watch the Vampire Diaries? Julie Plec does as she pleases. She's been screwing around with Stelena - Delena fans for 4 seasons now. Truth is, makers of any show only do what they wanna do. They don't have the same emotional attachment to characters/couples like the fans. Hence cannot understand our pain. For them it's a business. For us it means much much more than that.
It doesn't make sense
After everything that Rey and Taani have been through, all the heartache, the misunderstandings, the pain...it all ends like this? Does any of this even make sense? What I adored About TaaRey is that their love was full of innocence, purity and intense emotions. But above all, it seemed REAL. I actually envisioned a beautiful future for these two...they would've got married, had children and grown old together. I thought to myself - this is IT. But I guess the CVs have other ideas in mind. How is it even possible to show a third girl entering Rey's life? After all that he has felt for Taani, how can he possibly move on and forget her? I am baffled at the writers. Making a mockery of love and human emotions is not on.
Replacing actress would make sense - BUT
Some say that they would be fine with Vrinda being replaced in order to keep Taani in the show. Fair enough. That is a valid point. However, I still wouldn't watch the show. I would still call it quits. You see, we don't just form an attachment with a character, it's also the individual that plays that particular character. Why do you think so many people have quit watching Balika Vadhu? They couldn't handle the replacement. Character remains the same but still...some viewers find it hard to connect with a new face because it makes a hell of a difference in so many ways.
Ultimately TRians lose out
You know, I pity our fandom. We've been in a constant battle since day one. We've fought for acceptance when TaaRey were ridiculed and Taani was mocked. We've had to tackle offscreen issues, hardly no IVs to enjoy, demanding for TR screenspace. So many issues to deal with. But we managed to get through it all. Sadly though, we've never been able to enjoy any of it because our happiness has always been dampened by this that or the other. But just when we thought that things were coming together, it all falls apart. And look where we are standing and what do we have? We are left empty handed.
No justification
CVs can take a leap, the show can progress and new characters can be introduced. But I for one shall not watch it. All I know is that a dirty game has been played and we've been fooled. Heck I was fooled. I came here in the morning and made a positive post...only to be told that I'm an idiot. All that aside, CVs can give NO justification for the end of TaaRey. Because the basis upon which they parted was weak and flawed. And no matter what anyone says, Taani will always be Rey's soulmate. Not his lover...but SOULMATE. Jo dil se utar kar rooh ko chuu jaaye...woh ishq nahin ibadat hai. Aur aisi ibadat maine TaaRey mein dekhi hai.
Parting note: thank you for reading such a long post. I had to let it out. How to end this post? I will truly miss Vrinda and her beaming smile. She was perfect as Taani and magical with Amar as TaaRey..
TaaRey...it was all a beautiful lie...
