I got a bit emotional...

So I remember when I saw the very first ever promo to DDEJ back in like April, I think and my very first reaction to it was "I'm going to watch this show". Now for me, that's a huge thing because I have always disliked Indian shows and serials and anything to do with drama really but something about this show made me want to watch it and I waited patiently for around 2 months for this show.

Since I live in NZ, and I'm a few hours ahead of India, whenever Jaan aired, I would have to wait till the next day to watch it and I still remember coming home from school, running to my room to get on my laptop and going on the startv site to watch the first episode. Even though the first week disappointed me because well no Raghu :c I kept watching and then Sunday night came and I remembered that the next episode of Jaan would be Raghu's entry. I can't even begin to explain how absolutely excited I was about that. I always hated school and it was always hard for me but after this show came along, I somehow managed to get through school days easily because I was always so excited to get home for the next episode. Sometimes I would stay up till 4-5 in the morning because that was when it was airing in India so I would live stream it even though I sometimes got caught by my mum (oops).

This show has so many good memories attached with it and never in my life had I ever been so attached to a show let alone an Indian one. I loved everything about this show. I remember fighting with my mum about this show (she thought it was stupid and I fought back saying it was great), I even spent two hours on the phone arguing with my best friend that this show was amazing since she thought it was terrible and that the leads were ugly and couldn't act. I argued so much and in the end.. i turned her into a fan of the show! :D

I loved this show so much that I actually used to fake being sick to stay home from school just to watch those Maha episodes every week. c;

I loved everything about this show, the love-hate relationship they had in the beginning, the chemistry, that slap! (Who remembers when Antara slapped Raghu? The intensity!), the garage scene (i could not handle those episodes. they were so intense for me), aaji trying to get rantara together, raghu having to help antara after hurting her leg, raghu being in love and then realising it.

I had so many high hopes for this show from the beginning and it lived up to them all up until Satya came in. When Daya Mai came in, I wasn't too happy but I knew from the beginning that she was the main villain in the show so I didn't mind but when Satya came in.. I started to watch the show less and less and then Antara finding out everything about Raghu and the marriage breaking and then Satya & Antara. I don't know what happened to this show and now they Rantara are getting killed off, I don't think I'll ever watch this show again. I usually like leaps in shows but I know for sure that I will never be able to like this one because no one can replace Rantara.

I hope I get to see Ayaz & Nikita back on screen to and who knows.. maybe even together (wouldn't that be the best thing ever?!)

I don't know if the time leap with do the show good but I hope it does and that the new leads do justice to NiYaz because they deserved a lot more than what this show ended giving them. (killing them off, seriously? Cliche much.)

This show will always be my one of my favourite shows despite how it turned out.
