Hi guys🤗
Tia here...How are you all? I am feeling so happy, visiting the forum after so many days. Thank you all of you who didn't forget me😉😆...So, I am in Manali currents, enjoying all sorts of adventure sports. We will also visit other nearby places from here. Finally yesterday, I discovered a free WiFi at a coffee shop here 😆and I am typing from my laptop... I did check out some posts at forum, and I couldn't stop myself from posting it.

Beyond Guise - A Third opinion (SwaSan Post)
Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, where have you been?
"I've been to London to look at the queen."
Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, what did you there?
"I frightened a little mouse under the chair."
Finally, the suave, analytical as well as emotional Sanskar Maheshwari has put himself in disguise of adorable, funny, rustic and charming Kissan to woo back his lady love and help her regain her lost memory. He cleverly, by his strategic planning, charms (in a way manipulates) Swara to become his singing partner and take him to her Badi. And what does he do, apart from what he planned to do? Of course, admire Swara secretly!😳
Just like the pussycat can't help but chase the little mouse, Sanskar can't help but love and admire Swara even while pretending to be Kissan. I am really enjoying watching the Sanskar in Kissan admire Swara every now and then. How he spontaneously said he loved his masala tea exactly how she makes it, taking her aback. He couldn't hold his glee after dancing with her (however madcap it may be) and offers her chocolate, sharing his joy as well as gently nudging her memory. And I was completely bowled over at the expression of his (Varun's😳) eyes when Sanskar removed his glares to gaze at singing Swara, overwhelmed with memories and love. (I think the glares are killing two birds with one stone.😆)
Anyway, too bad that Swara doesn't remember anything consciously. But we do remember, that Sanskar in love has always been spontaneous (I exclude planned dates here, everybody plans them), specifically with words. For example, when he said "Acchi nahi, bahut acchi h; tabhi to tumhe pasand kiya." or "Mat jao na, mai jeeunga kaise." ❤️ Then also, he was subconsciously and gently nudging her into accepting his love for her; his care and concern masked in mild flirt.
Now, let us go down the memory lane to the point when Sanskar entered to avenge Kavita's (then presumed) death. He was feeling betrayed by his own family. He was very furious, as if a large volcano had erupted from his heart. Its lava was burning his good side, pushing him on the verge of the dark world and he wanted to burn down, everybody who was responsible for this, in that destruction. That was how Sanskar - the deadly-devilish strategist was born.
It was like the 'Rudra roop' of Lord Shiva - fierce and destructive - burning the world down in the fire of one's own agony. In spite of it, Lord Shiv is known to be a very compassionate God; blessing demons, men and demigods alike. Similarly, Sanskar has proved himself to be a very patient, compassionate and intense lover😳. (Please don't start religious debate here, I am just comparing personality.🥱)
Sanskar had re-entered the lives of Maheshwaris disguising himself as a mad fellow. It was also a disguise, albeit a psychological one. Outwardly he appeared to be the same Sanskar, but it was only the remanants of the burnt fortress of his desires. His mind was operating at such a level of cold calculation that normal Sanskar would not have attained. That made others more vulnerable to him. Indeed it was Sanskar, but a more enraged version.
At present, Sanskar had almost lost his love to death and it shattered him beyond anything😭. It took away his breath but this time he didn't burn with vengeance. We are hurt the most when our loved ones intentionally hurt us. Here, Sanskar's family - especially his cousin Laksh, was standing like his pillar of support, not against him. They gave him strength, and added to it his own grit and determination. He, like a tapaswi, never lost faith in Swara's return. Rather, he took steps to ensure it happens.😊
And when Swara returned, she didn't remember him as her husband whom she loved more than her own life, instead as the person who attempted to take her life😔. She is getting nightmares of that gunshot. She is only able to register the fear that ran down her spine during that moment. She doesn't know if it was fear of death or fear of separation from Sanskar, and she is not in a state of mind currently to analyze that. Added to it is the shock that the man behind the trigger is none other than her husband. She is hurt that not only her family didn't share the fact earlier, but also attempted to hide it.
She is feeling traumatized by nightmares and betrayed by her family. She is not ready to listen or believe. As the proverb goes - When the student is ready, the master will appear.😊 When Swara will look beyond her trauma and be mentally ready to understand, absorb and accept the truth, she will automatically trust her family's words. Her confusion is taking a toll on her. Under such circumstances, Sanskar as himself cannot have a dialogue (or a proper conversation) with her because she is not ready to look beyond her trauma and listen to him. So, Sanskar approaches Swara as Kissan.😳
I also think that being an unmarried girl and coming to know suddenly that she was tied by matrimony😲 to not only a total stranger (to her), but also a dangerous one, is upsurging some type of commitment phobia in Swara. She (the initial one) didn't have a trustworthy father figure her life. So, everything combined would make it very difficult to convince her that it was a very much loving marriage😕.
Sanskar has donned a horrible wig with blue extensions; heavily tinted glares; garish, non-classy clothes and masked his mannerisms with that of a rustic chap. I would say, this physical disguise is rather a visual illusion that he has created around himself to reach out to Swara, to help her look beyond her trauma. But the very essence of Kissan is same as that of Sanskar (at least with respect to Swara). Hold on! Don't throw tomatoes yet😆.
When a string of data is processed in a cryptosystem, it remains the same data; however unrecognizable. One needs to crack open the encryption to reach out to the data. Similarly, apart from his visual guise (his clothes, language and mannerisms), he is behaving exactly how Sanskar would have behaved under those circumstances.😳 His reactions to Swara's words are spontaneous (as I highlighted earlier😊) and not masked in manipulation.
For example, let us read in between the lines of the scene of Sanskar's entry as Kissan. Swara found him trying to attempt suicide. He protects her when they roll on ground at first meeting. In their conversation, Sanskar cryptically narrates his own agony. He said he wanted to die because his partner always left him alone. (He also says dikne mein to padhi likhi lagti h, understanding m bhais ki puch h...true as of now😆) He couldn't go back (where?) because "sab try (of what?) finish ho gya". He was called "besura" and he gets angry if someone says that. Sanskar was called khooni, and Swara claimed that he did not love her. We all know how Sanskar reacts when his love is questioned.
There are more in that scene (I bet even CVs didn't analyse so much😆); "ramaiya vasta vaiya, maine dil tujhko diya" - he is indirectly professing his love; "Aap humare liye devi ka roop h. Thank u bajrang bali" - this one is quite obvious😆; "Jab humri naukri (as her husband😉) pakki ho jaygi, tab aap humse paisa lengi, Tab tak hum apka helping hand karenge" - Payback will come later, now he will help her regain her memory😳; "ye dil na hota awara, kadam na hote bechara." - this one is also obvious surrounding the current situation😳. And there are much more in other scenes as well. (I am not saying all dialogues are like that, but the basic premise has been😊)
So, I would rather see him as an encrypted version of Sanskar who is very patient, loving and understanding. He is giving Swara her own time but also consistent in his purpose. He is not really lying to her. His reactions to Swara are very genuine - like when tells about tea, chocolate, when he doesn't let her stand up the table, which is a very gentleman kind of behavior(apart from falling down😆). I mean he was not in disguise, he would have said the same things to Swara, only in a more urban language😊. (I am not commenting about Sanskar's observation and analysis about Sahil, that part has not been aired. But I am sure he will see through his intentions. Sometimes, we fans are very impatient.😆)
Even when Swara is feeling something in his eyes, it is only because they are Sanskar's.😳 If it was not Sanskar in disguise, she would not have been feeling them and would not have connected with him the way she has. Her interactions with Kissan should undust her soft corner for Sanskar and bring back some flashes of memories.😊
Kissan, though encrypted, is Sanskar. But still I feel they would not show her falling for Kissan. I have seen few posts comparing this track with RNBDJ. But there are subtle differences between this plot and the film.
In the film, Tani didn't lose her memory whereas here Swara has. In the film, Tani was not in love with Suri, she liked to be with a certain type of guy that Suri was not. Here Swara was madly and deeply in love with Sanskar before she lost her memory. She has momentarily forgotten it, but she never fell out of love😊. Once she remembers them, she will happily accept him (and not out of some obligation). In the film, Suri was pretending to be someone else. In the first look, Sanskar is also pretending to be someone else, but as I explained above they are basically the same. Kissan is an encrypted version of Sanskar, but behaves very much like Sanskar. If Swara starts to fall for Kissan, I want her to decrypt the Sanskar in him (without anyone's assistance) and fall in love with Sanskar all over again. I wish Swara to see him beyond his guise, whether as Kissan, Khooni or whatever, and connect with the real Sanskar at the cosmic level.😳
I wish when she regains her memory and she is overwhelmed with joy to know that Sanskar could go to such lengths for their love; protecting her even when she is detesting him, protecting her even from himself. She would be guilty, no doubt, but Sanskar would happily oblige to all her faults. And 'jab humri naukri pakki ho jaygi', there are going to be passionate paybacks.😳
Thanks for reading! Please share your views, I would love to read them..😊.(Replies may get delayed as I would have to hunt down WIFi connections)
Author's note:
1. I think she scolded Kissan so bad in that scene because Sahil had already instigated Swara not to waste her time on Kissan. If we remember, Swara is very prone such manipulations. But this is just momentary, once she she Kissan's dedication for music and Sanskar's dedication for her - she will be alright.😊
PS: I can't help but feel like the Pussycat described in the above poem. I came here to enjoy holiday with my family, but all I did even after coming is admire SwaSan; in numerous ways possible - whether at television in our room, reception and even at a local shop. My mom is extremely irritated at the extent of my fangirling. She was thanking God secretly that we don't have good WiFi available, but her thanks are now in all vain.😆😉
I will be back and regular officially after another two weeks...See you guys! Take care🤗
With love,
Tia😊
