Anyways, sorry, I just got distracted for a moment. I mean I am just commenting here because YOU made a post, coz Rehaan posts for me are well, no comments 😆
And you say you love MY rants?! TBH I loved your rant. LIKE TOTALLY!! It sounded like you understood his character SO MUCH BETTER than himself or the CVs whatever.
Each aspect was so well described. I literally have nothing more to say, if there would have been, the replies here completed that, awesome discussion it was 👏
And yeah, for the pun, and you say I talk in double meanings?! 😆
Coming to his character. What i feel he is AN IMMENSELY WEAK character. First of all, maybe he was never given the proper time to explore him, or make audience to explore him. I mean I was never able to properly connect with him.
First he was shown, a brother like figure for Aahil, and whom Aahil trusts sabse jyada. Rehan knows Aahil better than Aahil himself has ever known, He knows Aahil's temperaments, he knows how he behaves, he knows he acts, he knows he has a heart and a soft interior with a rude exterior.
I used to love their bonding actually in the initial days and I so wanted to see a bro code here between the both.
The most favorite part of me their convos has to be the one when Aahil beat up that waiter and Rehan came to calm him and told him why do you behave like this you know you are not what you show to the world. Aap bure nahi hain Aahil bhai. I mean I so loved Rehaan there. Like he knows so much about him, he is like the protector of him, its really good to see someone in whom Aahil could really rely and trust. Plus Rehan was not like Aahil is his boss and he should respect him and do what he wants him to do. He showed Aahil what he is actually!
What I din't get, how and when his character lost his essence and touch, or lost what he should have been. Maybe CVs din't really pay the attention to him, to develop his character?
The one thing I caught about his character is, he was all "Aahil bhai ache hain" everytime Sanam has asked him about him. But these were before when he fell in love with her? I don't know why do I feel that after falling in love, his only concern remained as of his love. I mean its okay to be possessive about one's love but when you don't even know the same feelings are reciprocated or not?!! How can you even do that?
I mean that was THE MOST stupidest part of him I have came across. He just ASSUMED that she loves him back? With those little cute talks they had, and kinda friendship they have developed, like really?! Plus he din't even give any signs to her that he loves her? Yeah he might have got some "signs" from her that made him think like that?! How stupid is that? I mean he can crush on her yes but thinking she too has a crush, not digesting.
Then his character turned a little I guess, he din't think about Aahil as he used to do before. After the marriage, there was hardly any scene of them both having a good chat, a heart to heart, a bro thing. The last good convo they had was when Aahil sensed that Rehan is in love. And he used to say, HE knows Aahil better? Yeah right?! I mean Aahil git hint just how he was smiling looking at the moon. Aahil who hardly smiles, or maybe never HE came ti know with just a smile of his Bro? Could you even imagine how close he would have been to Rehan?! :)
And Rehan. He couldn't see his bro's pain, tears, his eyes which spoke so much of love? He wasn't able to see how his behaviour has changed suddenly? Or maybe he was too blinded by his love for her that he din't want to see that?
I wanted to see a convo where Rehan realises Aahil is in love and he talks him out. And I also wanted to see Aahil FIRST confides this to him!
Rehan, he unconsciously blamed Aahil that as it was his fault to marry Sanam, that office convo was so the indication to that because of which Aahil feels it is actually HIS fault. Aahil is already so vulnerable.
Rehan says he knows Aahil very well, then why din't he was able to see that little hidden sorry he said when the ring came to Aahil and he picked it up and looked at Rehan? Why he din't see those words he said in fornt of the lawyer? Why he din't see the jealousy creeping up in him?
He was blinded by his love for Sanam. And as they say love is blind. Rehan was also blind. Until when the last convo happened and he might have opened his eyes seeing Aahil in such a condition for the first time, he came to know that his Aahil bhai is actually in love,
Was this post even a little bit understandable?! 😆 I told already, Rehan is meh for me, thats what I have come up with his characterisation.
