ss ka safar...manda mystery..read

It is said that an idle mind is a devil's workshop…yeah, right now I am idle, and thus acting devilish….don't kill me for coming up with this thread….but this is my ultimate manda & sanda thread……and I promise that I will never again come up with any such thread… many of us have reached to this conclusion after months of debating, months of observing, months of speculating and after months of pondering…here is a record of the series of turnouts that has culminated in the ss' entering JJKN…so here we go

Chronology of events in ss' life

• Late 1999-early 2000:..ss and punjj meet on the sets of the movie tere liye…hit off well and start dating….ss thinks that she is in love and so does punjj

• Early 2003:…..ss and punjj still  going strong………seen together at many shows and events and are inseparable as substantiated by this article

Sidenote: ss has always wanted to marry early in life and settle down as that her been her only aim in life… ss would repeatedly talk about marriage as her ma was a bit insecure as her dad has passed away and her ma wanted to finish off all her responsibilities

• mid 2003:…ss wanted to marry punjj …so she nags punjj to marry her(substantiated by this article

  Today my assignment is to go to Apoorva Agnihotri's house to meet his wife the new Kkusum Shilpa Saklani. When I first meet her, she strikes me as very hyper and high. Dare I say, manic?!  Apoorva looks worn out with circles under his eyes and looks quite skinny. I observe both individuals. Apoorva has starred in many movies: Pardes, Pyar Koi Khel Nahin, Dhund - the fog, Pyar Diwana Hota Hai, Kasoor, Krodh and Lakeer and now in TV Series Jassi Jassi Koi Nahin. Shilpa starred in films like : Tere Liye, Na Tum Janno Na Hum (Small role) Ganga in "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" and Kkusum in "Kkusum".

  After I leave, I go to Psycology expert Dr. Mrindal Malhotra. He says "Shilpa displays high behaviour and I suspect that she can embarrass herself and apoorva. From what i know of them, Apoorva is worn away and she is quite dominant. She is defintely suffering from Mania". I then proceed to go to a famous astrologer who doesn't wish to be named. He tells me " Shilpa and Apoorva will have to work on their marriage as time goes on. Shilpa is very dominant and she is very tempermental.Apoorva is very down to earth and very humble. The is a match that will need a lot of work. Shilpa again, has qualities that can nag and also excessively boast about her hsband that he can feel distressed". I enquire about their future "Well....they will have 3 kids, tow girls and possibly a boy. Shilpa may have some conflit regarding her children as they grow older as she may come across as controlling". I tell him that Apoorva chose Shilpa "yes, but initially things are very different when they met, she came across as sweet and didn't display her true nature. That is why it didn't work out with Arjun Punj because she wanted marriage and kids for the sake of it not thinking about Love. I think marriage should be the union of Love". At that I leave and observe my thoughts...well what a day.

  End note: This is just a observation and is not meant to disrespect Shilpa. What is written here is the truth. I am a journalist (student) and this was my first assignment. I do not represent any paper or magazine. This is truly from my own personal experience. Please tell me what u think.  

• …Mr.Punj who was right then working in sanjeevani had film aspirations and did not want to tie the knot so early but ss wanted to …..then Mr.Punjj found Ms.Gurdeep who was his co-star in sanjeevani and who was not too keen on an early marriage  and he thus breaks his relationship with ss and starts going out with Ms..Kohli…..but mr.punjj's break up was blown out of proportion and he was made to look the villain and everyone blamed him for dumping poor bechari SS …..no one bothered to listen to the other side of the story….article to substantiate this

  BREAK-UP OF THE YEAR...... Shilpa Saklani &Arjun Punj

  The two were quite a couple until recently when the unfortunate split happened. While Shilpa is going around saying 'This is one aspect of my life full of queries but I don't want to know the answers, because even if I know the answers I won't be able to do much', Arjun is said to have found solace in Gurdeep Kohli's arms

• later months of 2003:…….ms.saklani goes around washing her dirty linen in the public and making a big hoohah out of the whole brake up  and  article to substantiate it

sidenote:Ms.Rakshandha Khan , ss' friend philosopher guide, witnessed the worst phase of ss' life……..and she knew that ss wanted to marry early and that she had a sordid relationship with Mr.Punjj…..and it was then that she started working with mr.agni on JJKN….Ms .RK, being Ms.Congeniality, BFF-ed to AA who would have told her that he wants to marry and is looking for a goodlooking  homely girl….RK instantly felt that ss would befit AA perfectly and vice versa…..and thus she dediced that"they were meant to be together" ….thus she left no stone unturned to make these two forcibly(???) fall in lowe..she would go to the KSBKBT sets to brainwash ss and she would praise ss to glory on the JJKN sets….and finally, one day, she arranges for a meeting

THE MEETING OF SANDA IN A BARRISTA  OUTLET….dum dumadumdum dumdumadumdumdumadumdum….dumdumdumdumdumdumdum..

• Last months of 2003-early 2004:----------Ms.saklu who was a bit paranoid of the industy guys, all thanks to  mr.punjj, was not really into AA………but the latter was very much into the former as ms.RK had literally spellbounded him and he was like an enchanted prince enchanted by the sorceress RK(lol, tried to bring in some comedy, failed terribly…...sorry…lets leave comedy to moni)….ok, so the enchanted bewitched price runs behind the  princess(get the pun buddies) and woos her in the right earnest and finally, the princess nods after throwing an overly humongous amout of attitude, and then the prince sweeps her off her feat and they get married….yayyyyyyyyy………

...post marital bliss:....Ss couldn't have been happier….she was on cloud 9!!!!….afterall, kya baat haii…..she got the most good looking man in India as her husband….and what's more delicious is that she gets a pukka  introvertish  JKG   who would  never ever  raise his voice ……so ss couldn't have asked for more…her husband was doing financially well and he was on JJKN  playing a negative Casanova who had some cheap romantic scenes with her godmother RK(please people,  the very  few scenes where mallika and armaan used to flirt  is like earthen scum compared to the janda scenes…so ss wasn't all that insecure then)…….so she was happy……..

• January-february 2005:….6 months post marriage:------------------  at this point of time in JJKN, the track was revolving around the jealous armaan who confronted jassi time and again and slowly, the ice seemed to thaw and that made ss uneasy………all her old ugly memories of punjj was refreshed….she feared that the colleague cordiality might perhaps in the future change into something more solid……..

• April-may 2005……………………..1 year post marriage:…..armaan's popularity seemed to grow by leaps and bounds as by this point of time, he was totally positive  and had a big fan following(albeit nothing compared to the B-wood stars but compared to  his colleagues, AA has a fan base)…….and manda seemed to get more and more comfortable(evidenced by those J Bedi scenes and the hug in Raj's house and the"I just want to look into the eyes that jassi looked into; I just want to touch those hands which jassi shook,  etc etc dialogues by armaan….)….and ss' insecurities seemed to grow along with AA's increasing popularity……

•  june-august...........this was the golden era of full  on janda romance…..the tham jaa video, those car scenes(where armaan asks  jassi not to call him sir), the first date(where they hugged etc etc), the proposing scene(tumhaare saath 5 minuted guzaarna mere liye   yugon se samaan hai), the amritsar scenes(the chandni raath, the frolicking in the hay scene, the TMJ video) and then the studio mysterious ahem ahem etc etc…..these scenes were the best and at that point of time, ss was working in kkusum and was away from AA most of the time…and that's perhaps when  manda really started  having mutual feelings for each other….insecurities GREWWWWW and ss got clingy….threads to support my hypothesis(these threads were started in june....)

• August-september….and then came NB and this was a god send golden opportunity for them to spend time..remember buddies, in ALL the NB interviews, both said that they are doing the show mainly as they can spend time with  each other….. and plus, jassi had ran away to   nainital and manda hardly had any scenes…..and even the few scenes that they had were either the confrontations or the hide and seek scenes and no much scope for sparks to fly…..and sanda were practicing 24-7 and AA did not have much time…but all these days, he missed MS supported by this excerpt"I always look forward to working with her.Even when there are no scenes between us, thankfully there have been
  dream sequences to make up for the loss (laughs). I used to miss working with her when we didn't have scenes together"…maybe ss could see these things and thus became all the more insecure…….the mona-mm rumours would have given her some solace but she would have very well known that those were rumours….but as MM was there on the sets, ss really did not mind as she knew that MS would be careful, not flirting with anyone as the media would cook up all sorts of stories which she would definitely want to avoid!!!!…..

• November end-december-january….NB got over and AA was in goa……to shoot for the make up scenes……..and those scenes were like the ultimate…..gosh, that night scene was too real and natural…….and right then, eggjactly right then, this article came up
