Tu Mere Paas- My Second Half

I think the beauty of both of these songs was that they conveyed only Kunj's perspective on what was occurring. Sidhant Gupta is a rather excellent actor- his portrayal of emotions through his eyes and voice are perfect. The scene for which this song was played was when Kunj had recovered Twinkle from the pool and she was unconscious.


Main Hoon Aadha Mujh Mein, Baaki Aadha Hai Tu
I'm only half inside me, the other half that is present is You

Dil Mein Kam Hai Dhadkan, Yaara Zyaada Hai Tu
There are less heart-beats inside my heart, what's present more is You

Bin Sune Sun Loonga Main, Bin Kahe Tu Kehna...
Without even listening, I'll hear it, without even saying it, You say that

This stanza he depth of the relationship they have in this short amount of time. Kunj and Twinkle got married in October and it is now March. They have only been married for six months yet they portray the nuances those married for years do. For example, the gestures through the eyes. Either way, this stanza captures the panic Kunj felt in the moment as he saw his wife unconscious. Bebe was right; his "dhadkan" stopped which can be symbolic for Twinkle. As Twinkle fell unconscious, his heart stopped beating because as the second line suggests his heart is more full of her than actual heart beats (hopefully that makes sense). The last line's first part reinforces that Twinkle has not confessed her love yet Kunj is beginning to piece things together as his flashbacks showed with the anger for the icebox kiss, to the feet touching. It showed how he sees a stark progression and distinction in her behavior. The second part of the last line suggests that idea as well. That Twinkle does not have to be vocal about her newfound feelings because without saying, her actions still speak.


Tu... Mere... Mere Paas Toh Hai Na Ooo...
You are surely with me

Tu... Mere... Mere Paas Toh Hai Na...
You are surely with me

This continues (as far as I can tell) from the previous stanza. I think it means that while Twinkle is not expressing in words that she has feelings for Kunj, her actions convey that she is with him. Hence the last line saying "You say that..." and this stanza continuing that idea. The scene in the bedroom where Twinkle informed Kunj that she knew he would save her further establishes this. Yet this line seems like it is a question (the "Hai Na" at the end) which shows Kunj is still unsure if he is understanding Twinkle's actions and interpreting them right. With the sudden developments of the transition from the accusations to sharing the bed, Kunj is confused. I think the repetition of the word "Mere" also adds to Kunj's feelings almost like he's saying "You're really mine?"

Pyaar Hai Aisa Khel Yaara, Tanha Koi Bhi Jeeta Nahi
Love is such a game in which no one can win being alone

Tu Jahaan Thak Ke Baith Jaaye, Ad Jaaunga Main Bhi Wahin
Wherever You'll get tired and sit down, I'll also not move/budge from that place

Bin Sune Sun Loonga Main, Bin Kahe Tu Kehna...
Without even listening, I'll hear it, without even saying it, You say that

The first line connects to the Stranger Game they are playing. Often times, in love, the "win" is getting your love reciprocated. Hence you cannot win being alone, having feelings alone. I love the fact that Kunj initiated this idea because it shows that he would genuinely be interested in Twinkle had their life not been so complicated by others. It suggests that perhaps he wants to clearly know what she is feeling. The second line reinforces the whole idea that he will not leave her alone no matter what, In the famous rain episode, despite Twinkle protesting numerous times to be left alone Kunj did not listen. Ad the line says, he did not budge from her side even if his words could not console. He wanted her to know he would physically be there and I think Twinkle got the point because today she said that she knew he would come save her.

Baarishein Kitni Dil Se Guzri, Meri Aankhein Na Bheegi Kabhi
So many monsoons passed through the heart, still my eyes never got drenched

Tu Agar Pal Bhar Door Jaaye, Baadlon Sa Main Ro Doon Abhi
If You're separated from me for even a couple of moments, I'll start crying like the clouds

Bin Sune Sun Loonga Main, Bin Kahe Tu Kehna...
Without even listening, I'll hear it, without even saying it, You say that

I LOVE the first two lines. They show the impact that a person can have on their significant other's life. Kunj has faced many ordeals in his life and he states he is emotional yet it is usually Twinkle's words that have a more profound impact on him than others. For example, Anita's stupidity on the January 8 episode did bother him but with Twinkle's consoling he was able to get over it. Yet Twinkle's Farmhouse accusations had him torn up for days. The second line shows that idea too because we all know how easily Kunj panics should anything happen to Twinkle. He has quite literally risked his life for her multiple times. And while he does not full fledged cry we see his eyes get watery and pained.

Overall, this songs speaks of the strong bond between two people to the point where the can speak to each other without words, understand each other without words, where their heartbeats are linked. It's perfect for Twinkle and Kunj because it gives us some idea of just how much Kunj understands Twinkle and cares for her.

All done. Those who take the time to read, I appreciate it very much! Do share your thoughts!!!

lovely analysis

in a prior interview Sidhant mentioned all the decent songs seem to be pictured on them, from older songs to the ones released in the past six months,SidMin have had scenes with them in the background highlighting their fabulous potrayal of Twinj thus far. They don't have a request or desire to be pictured on certain song cause sooner or later they will get to perform with each of the amazing songs that are out there.

Tum Saath Ho , Manchala, Ishq Bulva , Prem Ratan Payo amongst others. Both Tu Mere Paas Hai na and Ishq Bulva touched me today. First one of the latter supplemented the fear Kunj had of losing Twinkle and the second one brings hope for the upcoming track as they start from the beginning again. I hope Usha learns to step back from her negativity. Usha had mislead Kunj before about Twinkle yet when she fainted at the gudhwara and was admitted before Karva Chauth, Kunj promised her he would never let her down. So far he has done a great job in supporting her. He's not one to let her go ever signified by several instances.

1. Freezer incident, kissed her to waken her.

2. When she tried to leave him and Armitsar behind he asked had I not found you now, where would I look then? You could have gone anywhere just like that?

3. Now with the drowning incident, he assessed her quickly and then started cpr. He didn't care what anyone thought, he just wanted his wife, his love to be all right. Yes he realized she did this all for Mahi, but he didn't scold her, he consoled her and took care of her.

Yes. I like the fact that they use both new and old songs. It's refreshing. Yes, Ishq Bulaava was also a great choice to portray a sense of hope for the new track. Don't even get me started on Usha; she's so awful for no valid reason.

I agree with the point you made about the mouth to mouth; I liked that he immediately took action without a care about the world.
