Mods: I beg of you. This is my last post. Please don't edit anything.
TaaRey: Main bhool jaaon tumhe, ab yehi munaasib hai. Magar bhulana bhi chahoon toh kis taraan bhoolun - ke tum toh phir bhi haqeeqat ho koi khwaab nahin... (taken from one of my favourite ghazals, but sums up my feelings for TaaRey at present)
As I type this, tears are dripping on my laptop, making it even harder for me to formulate my thoughts. The sole purpose of me joining IF was TaaRey and TaaRey only. The whole point of me being here was to share my thoughts on TaaRey - express my love for them, voice my displeasure at lack of screen space, complain about the CVs. But whatever I wrote, each and every word was written with honesty and sincerity. Why? Because it was about TaaRey.
I've always understood that every show comes to an end. It's only a matter of time. But never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the present scenario. I never thought that a day would come where I would have to say goodbye to TaaRey. It just never crossed my mind. But with the confirmation that Vrinda, our very own Taani, is no longer a part of the show - I have resigned myself to fate. This is it. This is the end of the fairytale. Except THIS fairytale doesn't have a happily ever after...
TaaRey...what a journey it has been. Yes, a journey cut short before reaching its destination but an unforgettable journey it has been. Taani and Rey, destined to meet, destined to become one. Miss Cutely Weird and her Prince Charming. It was never smooth sailing...full of ups and downs from the very beginning. What seemed like an innocent crush on Taani's part was actually love in it's most truest and purest form. And Rey? It took him a Shivam and unbearable distances to realise that Taani was the most precious thing in his life. We saw the intensity of his love. She completed him.
There were many beautiful moments that we can cherish. The Mitwa, The Mora Piya, The Tujhko Jo Paaya x2, The Rasiya (let's not talk about editing) The Pankhon Ko, The Dil Ibadat...yes, the list is endless...because there were many moments where the world no longer existed and the only thing that mattered was the unconditional love that TaaRey shared. But I will always feel that the CVs did not reach TaaRey's real potential. There was so much more that could've been explored with regards to their complex but beautiful relationship. But I guess this will only remain as an unfulfilled wish.
Yes, Vrinda deserves better. But she didn't deserve THIS. I hope she comes back with a bigger and better project. But let's be honest - something is fishy. Lead characters don't end abruptly. These decisions are taken over time. And it seems as though this decision has been taken recently and it doesn't seem mutual .I refuse to accept that Vrinda wanted to leave. But this is my POV and I stand by it. Palki and Co. can give all the excuses in the world. I don't buy any of it. Taani had a lot of potential but the writers were not creative enough to explore new avenues. So they took the easy route of their convenience.
Taani isn't a limited character. She's the only character on the show that has many shades, many dimensions to her...the only thing that she doesn't have is dance. So it really comes down to that, doesn't it? Dance is the actual requirement. If this is the case then Palki shouldn't have brought in a non-dancer. We grew fond of her, adored her...only for her to be snatched away from us. This is cruel on their part. And the worst part in all this, we weren't prepared. This was sprung up on us, leaving us stunned. It's disguisting.
And the biggest tragedy of all? we were as good as told that TaaRey were end game. After everything that they've been through, was that all a lie? Because by taking this decison, the CVs have reversed everything. Whatever Rey said to Taani...whatever she said to him. All those words, emotions, feelings...everything erased, just like that. The CVs want to prove that their promises were hollow. But no. I don't believe. Rey and Taani are soulmates. And soulmates don't always end up taking the same path together. But wherever they are, where ever they go, they always belong to each other. Rey and Taani's hearts belong to each other. I don't believe even for a second that they they cannot or should not be together. They weren't dragging each other two steps backwards...they were just never given a proper chance to walk together.
I've now come to a point where I can't look at TR siggies...I can't watch their scenes, I can't even listen to songs related to them, or that remind me of them. I don't know if I ever can. And it's simply because it's too painful - it's painful because it's never going to happen again. TR cast a spell on me...they became a part of my world. But now the spell is broken and reality sinks in. Nothing lasts forever...but the things we love the most are the ones that always end first :(
I've taken on hateful comments directed at Taani and TR, and thought that was exhausting. But what I have to endure now is much more difficult than that. Gosh, there's so much more that I want to say but you know, maybe that should be left unsaid. I entered this forum for TaaRey...and kept on coming back for them. But this time there's no reason to return. This is my last post because this time my exit is for good. Staying here hurts.
Vrinda Dawda: I salute you. She entered the show at a difficult time and was graceful under all circumstances. I wish her success and happiness in the future where her talent is appreciated.
TaaRey: It's painful talking about you right now but you shall remain forever in my heart. There's a corner reserved just for you <3
And fellow TRians: Alvida. Jahaa bhi raho, khush raho. If I've ever said anything to upset anyone then my sincere apologies. I'm emotional by nature...kabhi ho jaata hai. God bless you all. Thank you for being patient readers and generous with your time.
This is Zinnia.TaaRey signing out...one last time
Goodbye.
