Hello all 🤗
It's been a while between posts (save on my FF!) but since we got to know of Sahil's entry and especially since yesterday and after today's epi, I have an overflow of emotion that must be expressed so be warned 😆
First as on this Forum especially nowadays disclaimers seem to be as necessary as on my real life job, PLS NOTE:
1. I AM talking strictly about SAHIL, the character and NOT Anuj, the actor;
2. I do like Anuj- have liked him since his Bebo days but I have a few personal views on how the limited scenes I have seen as Sahil affect me, which are below.
3. You don't have to agree with my views, a lot won't- I even see posts by friends that I respect so please do me the courtesy of disagreeing (if you do) respectfully and without turning this post into an unnecessary war zone:)
Coming to my title- why do I say I can't, won't and never can like Sahil? The most basic answer is one a crazy (and I happily admit I am certifiable when it comes to love for SwaSan:)), SwaSan shipper will immediately get. It has little to do with logic or sophisticated reasoning or appreciation of any finer details of anything- it is the most primeval basic form of LOVE for SwaSan!
I love SwaSan with an intensity I have only felt for fictional characters in such limited instances, it is as rare as gold dust in my world. But yes, in them I see the very projection of what I genuinely believe soul mates are, and it makes me feel for them unconditional and total adoration. What has this to do with not liking Sahil? Again, very simple- ANYONE or ANYTHING that comes between SwaSan, I don't "like".
I detested the fake created triangle with Lakshya when it happened, I genuinely abhorred the Kavita track in a way that I cannot describe and to me, promised to be obsessive and hence a true blue KMH (kabab main haddi for those not familiar 😆), between my OTP, Sahil, is EXACTLY the same.
I am not judging and so I hope I won't be judged in return. I seriously don't see how you can be obsessive over SwaSan and ship Swara with anyone other than Sanskaar 😕😕😕. I am not talking about liking Anuj as an actor- like I said, I do too, and especially think he is a nice guy all around. But as a character, how can the person coming in between your OTP be someone you can actually like or even love if in the next breath you say SwaSan are your everything? 😕
I am genuinely confused by this. See, I get it if you like SwaSan but are not genuinely mad SwaSan shippers- then it makes sense as you can view a character almost impassively, and certainly objectively, but to me, if your totally consumed by a certain pair, anyone who isn't the other half of that- how can you like/ love them?
I desperately wanted an intense track and am seriously over the moon about this one. I knew this meant a new entry and he would come between SwaSan in that sense and we would have angst galore and separation and a new love story for SwaSan of which Sahil would be a huge part, and I LOVE that. That is a different issue to me. I just don't see how I can then like Sahil for what he is- a person who firstly has my Sanskaar's Swara, and will very soon be a real obstacle to them? I understand the arguments that Sahil doesn't know, Sahil has no idea and neither does Swara, and he genuinely saved her in good faith- I get all that and guess what, I still DON'T like it 😆. To me, this is an innate response of disliking the person who will cause them more pain. I know some will say - oh this has not yet happened, but come on, we know it will and yes, bring it on as shirtless, rich Sahil or not, SwaSan are ALWAYS the end game BUT still I don't like this new threat to them!
My reaction is totally the sort of gut instinct emotional outburst type! Happy to admit that! I don't want to admire the shape of Sahil's muscles, I don't like the whistling music given as his BG, I hate the typical khadoos personality we have seen in every Gul Khan show and when Swara spat on his face before he gave her CPR 🤣, I wanted to do a victory dance and whoop for joy, which I actually did. I want to punch Sahil's face already- I don't care he isn't shown a psycho yet, to me its good enough he will be, and will cause my Sanskaar and my SwaSan more pain and be a real thorn in their side. When people make up ship names for Sanskaar ki Swara with Sahil, or even a guitar for example- i.e. anyone that is not Sanskaar Maheshwari, I want to rip hair out and scream!! 😆
I am not rational about this and don't want to be. To me, it would be like liking someone who came between my parents or between me and my husband- that is how attached I feel to SwaSan and so Sahil, Ramu Kaka, Dr Uncle or any other uncle (or aunty!) who comes between SwaSan are anathema, and that will be my stance throughout this track that I am SO excited for and dying to watch for SwaSan!
I hope at least some can understand the sentiment behind this 😆
Love to all,
Shruti
PS: Oops, in all that forgot to share my personal views about how I feel about Sahil and Anuj playing him. I think Anuj is a very capable actor and I thought he would make a big impact as Sahil but I feel from what I see (and admit it's so limited as of now), I fear Sahil is sketched too stereotypical by the CVs and he left me totally unmoved. I felt like I was watching a typical Gul Khan "hero" with the usual overdone khaddos style and the whole having time to remove your vest and watch before saving a life was a bit too errr- well, anyway- don't see anything that was other than expected in them wanting to create a new entry who they hope will cause buzz. Didn't do a thing for me:)
