Bepannah ~My thoughts ~ep 85 13.7.18. Their Inner light..
Both are far from being saintly, as both are mere mortals were towing their burden of weaknesses. Apart from their controversial pasts that overlapped. This episode to me also shows how even a thousand miles apart, an inner light unites them too. Adi and Zoya both share a divine presence in their souls. We see how both have been tossed about like the insignificant straw in the stormy seas of life. It's the inner light within both that acts as a guiding spirit for their souls to connect and communicate. It's the inner light within their souls that oddly enough, makes them speak in similar metaphors. Like when they both compare the upheaval in their past lives to stormy seas. How by lighting candles, both still impinge their lives upon the faintest glimmer of hope. It's the inner light that gives them the power to fight the waves, survive and reach the banks of safety.
When they were briefly together it was the same inner light that encouraged to gain insight into each others needs. It was the inner light that made them offer support to each other in a spate of successive troubled times. Now I see the same divine presence within their souls that gives them both a pure and blessed reason to think about each other with much reverence and devotion.
It's no coincidence that both Adi and Zoya on distant soils, end up in the house of god, lighting candles. For both lighting candles marks a new beginning. A new chapter in their lives. Zoya has obvious reason to offer thanks to the almighty for pulling her through the tidal waves of her life. For Adi , the logo of his sweatshirt, nobody cares, nobody knows epitomizes exactly how he felt when he walked away from his past connections six months ago. Slipping into a church in Paris, and that too with his own accord. Celebrates Christ's message ,he came to give relief to the weary, disaffected and the down trodden. Who could be more emotionally bruised than Adi? yet the inner light within Zoya, reaches Adi and gives him reason to smile and give thanks before god. Both knelt before the altar showing humility and obeisance before the divine being, a quality much pleasing before god. Worship of two contrite hearts.
The Adi who lights candles in a Parisienne chapel , is the Adi who by now sees the light, Gains an insight and understanding into making himself light of the burdens he carries. Zoya's heart felt, sincere speech seems to have lightened his emotional load. It's no wonder he lights candles. As in the illumine and radiance of their dancing flames, he senses the warmth of Zoya message radiating inner light. She lit the snuffed out flame of the temporary set back of his life. I thought where he turns to walk out of the church, notices a snuffed out candle, goes back to light it yet again! Brings in the message, no matter what! keep the hopes burning. Adi appears to have received his healing. Zoya's success restores the smile back on his face. Revives in him the hope to live life once again. The fact he prays for his families welfare is indicative that he feels light and free from burdens to meet them again.
Its white candles both light. White the colour of purity, and new beginnings. Spiritual growth in faith terms. With Adi and Zoya lighting white candles is a moment where both in good times and bad, associate, remembrance and devotion for each other. After all this time of losing contact with each other. The purity of their unnamed bond still burns like the flame of a white candle. The burning flames, speaks of the emotional healing of two innocent ,yet badly punished, virtuous souls. The flames give hope of good times yet to come. A silent communion of their inner selves, separated by thousands of miles.. yet affiliated!
For Zoya and Adi the candle itself symbolizes, the presence of light in their once dark lives. The candle symbolizes the holy light of the spirit of truth. The stark truth of how they were both betrayed in the sacred bond of marriage by their partners. Both Adi and Zoya, before the mounted symbol of the crucified Christ find solace and healing in the message Christ professed.. forgive those who hurt, you, betrayed your trust..and sacrifice your right to hate them.. instead forgive them and heal your selves!
The inner light between Adi and Zoya supports each other to rise above natural human reaction and to chose the path of living life abundantly one again.
Adi packs his memories away in his suitcase. This time to return to his roots, symbolized by the presence of Kartar. Seems even in the past six months Adi survived his self imposed exile from home by attaching himself to a man from back home. Adi's relics and reminders of people who matter to him is heart warming. Brings back by pleasant memories. The cricket photo, family photo. However the lemon sari that Zoya wore to heal Adi... Adi recalls how the incident went horribly wrong. But now he sees the light of why Zoya did what she did. Her actions were not to taunt his existing trauma, but it was a balm. The cool soothing healing of which he feels now. A healing that presently, coaxes him to return to the people, the land he loves..
He hears the new Bepannah song.. whereby his heart needs.. the presence of someone who waits for him thousands of miles away. Zoya's heart too misses a beat.. as the fresh tune that plays in Adi heart! strikes a note in her heart too. She smiles as she stares at the cricket match photos! The memories of Adi the funny fun loving, daring guy! Zoya aligns the photo but leaves it slightly crooked.. the photo on the wall will be in position when she finds Adi before her in person!
Adi ,with bags packed.. tackles life with a clean slate. He knows not where life takes him.for the minute he feels like a wayward off track traveller. Yet Zoya's message makes him carry an optimism that together their inner light will show them both the path they are destined to traverse..
The trophy scene between the sisters. Celebrates achievement and sharing success. of true love perhaps? It also celebrates the inner light of a divine presence the sisters share. The guiding spirit that keeps them fighting for the truth. The trophy is also the legacy of attitude that Zoya passes on to both Noor and Arjun later on. That medals and awards cannot be won with out the prerequisites of hard core self determination. Faith in ones abilities,god, one family support. last but not the least, without the inclusion of some inspiring and guiding source.
Where Waseem attributes his daughters success to the absence of a certain Aditya Hooda from his daughters life .Little does he realize that Aditya Hooda is the source of light, in Zoya's life! be it in the form of the candle or the sun that proclaims day break!. Waseem fails to see the light that Aditya and Zoya, far or near, continue to fuel each others energies in their fight to survive in a cruel, devious world. Light finds a way to shine.
Arjun gagging Noor and Zoya stumbling across the truth of their relationship. Speaks of the tactics two sincere lovers have to resort to, due to the hostility between their families. Zoya speaks through experience, how easy it is to fall in love. but how challenging it is to fulfil the responsibilities that love requires.. above all faithfulness to each other,more so in times when the going gets hard. She refrains from minicing her words.. refers to the opposition both are likely to face in times to come.But she empowers them with the words.. love unites not divides. Henceforth. Noor and Arjun's declared love is seen as a crucial link of binding two families together.
The scene for me is beautiful as it shows, Zoya giving her blessings to Noor and Arjun relationship.. in the absence of Aditya . Its as if she knows that Adi too would do anything to support his younger brothers happiness. The scene also facilitates the plot hatched by Zoya's how to smoke Adi out of the hole he's hiding in! she suggests all the Hooda's play dead and herself volunteers to execute the notorious plan.. just one of the tricks of the trade she learns to keep Aditya Hooda's notoriety alive!
It's interesting to see that Arjun, Noor are dressed in red, yellow, orange hues.. symbolic of light, passion.. Adi too on his return in the precap wears a yellow sweat shirt that proclaims the arrival of the sun god ,himself.. now there will be light in the Hooda house.. hamlet53 14.7.18
Without a doubt Jenny and Harshad held the pulse of the episode.I see Adiya's bond as a pure one on a spiritual level. with a hope to last till eternity and not fade away with the ravages of time and circumstances.. thank you to all esteemed readers who have to put up with my notorious late.. still being where Iam does not dampen my love for Bepannah.. have a good weekend.. me watching England's last match in Fifa..
