Haseena: Be it a 100 years, I'll wait for you.
Hi there,
Good episode. Piya actually fought for Abhay , stood up for him when Misha and Birdie spoke against Abhay. The old Piya showed up and she shocked you, or should I say pleasantly shocked you by fighting with her sisters over Abhay ' without even realizing it ' standing on his grave and standing in his woods. Home as she calls it. Jay and Piya's sequence was adorable and you actually sense friendship and a possible healthy relationship where they need not bite each-others' heads off. Chaand's strong belief that Abhay is never coming back but that belief failing miserably in front of a mother. And of course, Piya's recovered fixation and rising obsession with those deep, sharp and hypnotic ice blues that one could drown in. She may not know who Abhay is or how he is ' but she knows that the eyes she sees and gets lost in ' she belongs to them. Like the woods, her home is there ' in those eyes that hypnotize her.
But you know what stayed with me?
Haseena Raichand.
Strong , ruthless, intelligent , stunning , powermatic ' we have always identified Haseena Raichand with the embodiment of strength , grace , beauty and absolute power . But the woman roaming in jungles , the woman bending over that frozen piece of earth , the woman touching the ground with such affection and sensitivity making you wonder if she is trying to touch Abhay . Her usually no-nonsense and fierce sensuous face melting like bowl of chocolate mousse as she sits on the grave talking to Abhay. Yes, this waiting, heartbroken , shattered mother talks to her sleeping son who can neither feel her , nor hear her and can't answer her. She tells him that its been a whole one year since he has lain here ' one year since she saw him in front of her eyes. You can tell that Haseena has often come here , drawn by her desperate motherhood and her love for Abhay. Kishwer does such a fine job with her expressions that you can feel Haseena's grief in her breaking face . Haseena tells him that maybe, just maybe , they don't need Maithli to wake him up. Look, she says. Piya came for you , without even knowing who you are. Her love is real enough, Abhay. Her heart remembers you . Is it possible that she can wake you up? Is it possible that her love has the power to override the chains of Maithli's blind obsession for you? Haseena looks so hopeful and broken at the same time as her hands stay on the frozen ground where Abhay is sleeping.
It is heartbreaking to see an actor pack so much of an emotion into a scene where she has no one to react. Kishwer has the aura and the acting prowess to carry a whole scene on her shoulders even if it has only her. And she did it amazingly. Haseena , driven and ruled by the love of her lost son , is a heartache to watch when she tells Abhay that she is waiting for him. She will always wait for him and she knows he is going to come back to her. Even if it's a wait of 100 years, she will wait to see him again. Haseena doesn't say it but it echoes in her sorrow , her feelings and her wait . She loves Abhay like her own flesh and blood and she misses him just as much as anyone else.
But of course, Jay had to spoil the moment of mother and son owing to his werewolf evening walk. Chaand had to come and deliver 'reality checks' to a devastated mother.
I loved the way Haseena defied Chaand's reality check and all his efforts to reconcile her with the reality of Abhay's loss. The chemistry and co-act of the two actors was rocking. Chaand being 'practical' that Abhay is Metz' now and they should forget about him ' he is just a fossil now and long gone ' but how do you explain that to a mother? Haseena doesn't want to hear any of it. She argues back with Chaand, sending the message loud and clear that Abhay is not gone. He is just having an enslaved sleep. And you know what? He is gonna come back. He is gonna wake up and you just can't question the conviction on her face . A conviction that even leaves Chaand speechless. Chaand can take Haseena away from Abhay's grave but he cannot separate her from him. As Haseena said, she is waiting for Abhay to come back- and even if it takes a 100 years , she will be right there ' a mother.
Moving. Hats off to you, Kishwer! You truly were the performer of the day and hell yeah, we are glad , okay, SUPERGLAD to have you and Naved back in action. With the return of the Raichands , the supernatural dark enticing aura of this show is back.
Coming to think of it , Haseena and Abhay always had this very underrated , very understated but very strong relationship. Haseena always loved him with whatever heart is left in her and Abhay , no matter how cold or bratty he was since day 1, Haseena's word and her happiness always mattered to him. Emotion tied them , not biology.
P.S- This is about Jay. Frankly, I lurve the guy but when the creatives try to portray him as this bratty immature college kiddie , it goes AGAINST his character. He is a werewolf- he is a man with a plan ' he is a werewolf who has been sent on a mission, has been around for a long time and he is a man who has a sharp , calculating mind going by the trap that he is laying just to get Abhay back. So, when a man of that stature plays these silly games and gets into teenage war of words , it kind of lowers the peak of the character. Don't do that to Jay because we are gonna see him and Abhay as adversaries . So, keep that in mind. Being cute and dude-ish is not Jay's business, ppl. Deep, intense, mean and devious ' that's Jay. You wrote the character , so you know him better than us , writers.😉
Love and luck always,❤️
GOD bless everyone.🤗
