AaHer has so much potential as a paring, couple and as part of a triangle. There is so much angst, depth and story that can be explored with AaHer. See, AaHer is the pairing wherein which they would fight against all the odds, fight against logic and what society tells them, and listen to their hearts. This is especially the case with Aahil. This is the woman who everyone will point fingers at and demean for her actions and what she's done. He too would be livid. But then there will be that thing he cannot fight. He knows that he shouldn't feel anything for this woman. She is the one who hurt him, played him for a fool, participated in the scheme which involved kidnapping and keeping his beloved wife captive. She wanted to break him apart, and didn't care one bit of what would happen to him. She was willing to both destroy him financially and emotionally without a care. But still, the woman he should hate or at the very least be only tolerant of due to her being his wife's sister--he finds himself wanting to fight all odds and the word to be with her. But how can he? After all that she's done. No one would approve. Yet, it is she his heart feels connected with now. He has gotten to know her, and come to lover her for herself. Fate and coincidence played a cruel game, but that cruel game was needed for these two hearts to meet.
Hindi serials/soaps hardly have any good triangles. Almost none are true triangles where there is a chance for all the parties involved. There are only a few where the slate is open for any couple to make it (ie. Ekta). I believe it is a double standard in serialdom. Why can't AaHer be an option? Just because Aahil is in love with another and she with him? But there are many a serials based on this, where a guy is already in love with his girlfriend but is forced to marry not fully of his own will, but then we are expected to root for the now wife. His love with the girlfriend doesn't matter. So why not apply the same thought here? In fact, i believe here it would even be quite progressive. Because in the examples I just mentioned, the wife is seedhi-saadhi ladki. A sati-savitri. But now the trope has been turned on its head. Seher/Sunheri is no seedhi-sadhi or sati-savitri. And here we would have the male lead falling for such a girl over his previous more morally upstanding love.
I truly wish the makers would fully explore this story to its fullest heights. That means showing the triangle, as well as quadrangle. Hell it can even turn into a pentagon with an entry of another male character. :)
PS Today is an off day for me. :) I wish I had written it over the weekend.
