hey people. maddy! of course, i remember you -- you used to visit the temple-of-smiles at the wtfs! 😆 how have you been???
y'know, one of the things about this show that is different from the other shows that i've seen is that it has always been interesting. i mean, it has caught my eye right from the start as an interesting story. i've only ever thought that about one other story before -- and that too was a non-ekta-kapoor story (who i'm convinced starts stories in a pathetic way so that she can surprise people somewhere down the line).
the lead actress had this incredible charisma -- she was just so watchable. i could totally understand shaan -- anyone! -- getting captured by her spirit.
i totally thought shaan needed a good knock on the top of his head. then the whole suraj-dying thing happened, and the marriage. and i could see where the story was going -- khanak with honour and love-for-suraj as her bulwark, natasha in love with shaan, and flighty shaan caught in between these two pillars of love.
what really makes this story incredibly interesting is that the girls are so brilliantly sincere. one feels for natasha -- and khanak. i always thought that shaan would fall in love with khanak, but that khanak would hold fast to her first love. and that, i thought, would be an interesting enough twist.
but now, they have khanak feel for shaan as well. more interesting possibilities.
ya, the girls are still brilliantly sincere and interesting.
but just now, even though i still want to give him a knock on the upside of his head for being such a flighty fellow, i love that shaan's heart finds peace in khanak's smile and her laughter. that has always remained true. and i feel a certain sort of pity for poor flighty shaan. and a deep desire to rescue him from his two brilliantly loving girls and keep him for myself. after all, if he remains true to himself, he should one day find peace in my smile too, no? 😆
hopeless hopes aside, it is really an interesting story. even the families are interesting (other than the hastho combo -- bleagh).
dont' mind watching it. whenever i have the time. and best thing is, they don't take more of me than my time watching. unlike another pair and another show that i used to know. 😆
