Living The Pause.

My screen has been paused; my mind gone numb- much like Sanam's.

For months, I watched a couple grow together...get separated, reunite...all through it, there were two voices alternating, telling me a love story.

And now, one is gone...lost in the vacant corridors of her mind. The joy of a new character embarking on a journey of self discovery is exciting... The pain of losing Sanam is inexpressible. A voice has been lost...and now it is up to Aahil to carry on telling the tale...

If only he could retrieve his voice from the stunned silence. If only he could feel Sanam who is no longer calling out to him. Months back, she had called out in vain for him to save her- he had been blinded by his eyes. Today Aahil has geared up all his senses to catch the faintest trace of her..and all he is greeted with is cold silence. If Sanam glides on the cool water surface innocently bathing in the sun, Aahil is the one battling the undercurrents...the quest has become one sided.

The love story freezes on my screen...and I am forced to look beyond- at the bigger picture.

There is a girl thrown into the midst of a war zone...An officer who has vowed to kill and die for the cause of peace.

What happens when he is entrusted the security of a girl hunted by his countrymen...a fanatic mob bloodthirsty in revenge for the death of his best friend...

He is a man on a mission. And his greater mission is to protect the innocent. Would it mean hiding her identity or giving her a new identity, since she has none...It would also mean no scope for a public hunt for her near and dear...

Sanam - A stranger to herself...would her sixth sense tell her about a soul pining for her ...

Aahil- Bearing the burden of his past injustices to her who has been taken away from him...How much should a man take...I guess there is no measure when it comes to love...

And so I stare at my screen..feeling the pain, the anguish, the weakness on one side..the restless quiet on the other side... counting the days until I can have my peace back.

While I am living this pause, I cannot help but admire two things more than everything else.

1. SJ- She is absolutely lovely on the montage. Sanam has never looked so vulnerable and sweet- like a little child you want to pick up and hug.😳This girl is an amazing actor.👏

2. The Writing and Execution- I don't know where it is being shot..the scenes are well taken and convincing.The writing as such, is a really fresh take- like nothing I have seen before on TV and I really appreciate the effort that has gone into this.👏

When it comes to the opposite emotion, there are two things again.

1. Aahil's hair!- Can Gul please shift her hair experiments to the new show? Give poor Aahil a break.😭

2. Nayi Sanam - Much as I feel Addit is any day a better actress than Amrapali- I hate her character twice as much...especially when I know she is going to be back very soon as promised...I just hope Aahil continues to get the protection Sanam bestowed on him...

I really want a scene where Aahil stares at the moon, remembering Sanam and she gets drawn to the same...the chilled sadness beckoning her...

..I need it.😒..

Beautiful as always, soup.

Lovely post soup! I also want a scene as such and maybe a scene or two of Aahil imagining Sanam, only to find that she is not there... Thus making his search and need for her even greater! I want that yearning, craving, longing! I want him to search for Sanam and not rest until he has found her! I also want Aahil in a new look, an intense brooding man on a quest, to get back his love, bring back his Begum Jaan and remind her of their junoon!!

Lovely post soup

Beautiful post.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Sanam, does not know who she is and Aahil does not know where she is.

For them the time is frozen.

Soup, ⭐️ for you.

Wow! Beautiful post CS👏

Beautiful Soup.

SJ in montage and the well shot promo is really intriguing.

Sanam's helplessness - and she cant do a thing about it.

Aahil's helplessness - and he is not able to do anything about it.

6th sense, yes, its needed, and lots of it for all the 3 parties involved - Shaad, Sanam and Ahil.

Yet to watch yday episode, but the pak story sure has a pull factor.

The Man with a Mission, Shaad, meeting the woman lost her mission, Sanam. This stuff is pure dynamite. The possibilities are endless. And CVs getting getting their act right. Gul seems to be interested in QH again. The grass is beginning to look greener yet again.

I;m intrigued to know how they're going to tie up the two stories, across the borders.

Is Shashi Kapoor going to be a lookalike of Ahil, who will soon be captured by Shaad.
