I agree with a lot of what you have said. I am first and foremost a SAHIL fan. I watched QH even after 1st Asad left and continued to follow the show. I stopped for a little while after ZOYAAN, but I came back and caught up to the show.
I loved ASYA, but I was never a crazy fan of actor playing Asad1, , so continued to watch for the story. After ARSHI I have to say SAHIL have become my favourites. I am relatively new to Indian TV, so didn't know KVB at all. But when I saw him as Aahil I found him edgy and some of the things he said and did made me laugh and gasp in shock at the same time. He was such a giant A*s! Lol
The car burning was the moment I knew these two would keep me hooked. But they grew on me gradually. But Junoon just got me going, and added that certain touch and elevated all their scenes. Aahil has transitioned from his fake attitude to his genuine personality beautifully in the past 5 months. He was always a good guy, but he was never allowed to show that side of himself much. He was always encouraged to be rude and callous. But that was never his TRUE nature.
Coming to SEHAN, I liked Rehan at the start. I also liked Seher. Initially them together was very amusing. Now they have started to fall for each other. Maybe coz their story is operating inside a pressure cooker? They have been forced together. Rehan is very vulnerable. He is broken and he is looking for validation. He has checked most of his smart brain at the door, in his quest for acceptance.
Just like Rozy said to Seher "the chemical reaction of love only lasts for a short time, but under the effects of this feeling, people usually ruin their whole lives"!
That is the case with Rehan. Seher on the other hand has met a guy like no other she has ever interacted with. She is addicted to the feeling he gives her. The feeling of being perceived as someone worthy of love and acceptance.
In the case of SAHIL, Aahil is a lot more damaged than Sanam. So she is able to be strong for him. But Rehan and Seher are equally damaged. So they are sort of stuck with each other and their issues!
But I agree that the fan wars are a bit much. I don't enjoy the hatred. I don't mind that SJ plays both roles, because I can differentiate between Sanam and Seher. But I would prefer to not have mixed song sequences. Because I agree SAHIL and SEHAN are not on the same level.
