I have read many posts today regarding Swara and her present avatar as Swara Bose. Some are not complimentary and with reservations on her behaviour, hence this post.
First, the disappearance of cosmic connection between SwaSan. When Swara had not yet seen Sanskaar, she felt his presence and feel of "someone close to me". When she came face to face with him, the negative flashes she was having of a man aiming a gun at her and then shooting at her turned technicolor and she recognized the man. Her brain has registered Sanskaar as the man who tried to kill her, the man who was responsible for her fall into the river.
Now when she sees him, her brain kicks into action, blocking her dil ka connection which was responsible for those cosmic feels earlier. At the moment, her brain has taken over and her brain unfortunately is like a blank slate (as she herself said) where memories are concerned. So I don't feel the absence of cosmic connection is so off the mark. As the track progresses, I am sure that cosmic connection will reappear as memories start returning to her brain.
Is Swara to be blamed for her present actions? She is back to being Swara Bose who was free and easy with people, especially friends. She considers Sahil her friend at the moment. She was the kind who did not mind a hug or being hugged, who held hands, etc. with no inhibitions. On top of it, now she is in a post-traumatic state. She is not going to be a sherni so soon, not until she understands the circumstances better. I don't blame her for freaking out when she comes face to face with Sanskaar whom she thinks her killer and clinging to Sahil, though of course the SwaSan fan in me finds it revolting!
I realize that TRP audience may not see it this way. Combining an unfeeling Swara with a Sanskaar in pain may turn disastrous for the future of the show. Sanskaar is the character almost everyone, young or old, online or TRP audience identifies with. For that sake, I hope they tone down Swara's behaviour a bit. I still shudder when I think of those Devar-Bhabhi scenes we endured and then there was no ML, so CVs may go really too far with ML compounding the situation.
What puzzles me is that once she comes to know Sanskaar is her husband, why does not someone explain to her that he did not shoot at her but at Rajat who was holding her captive? They could certainly tell her that much without too many explanations to confuse her brain. Expecting logic is a no-no, so I should not be saying this, I guess!
