and then got over it in millisecond😆.the desperation with which he tried to stop Chakor from hurting herself, the way he signed the papers, the way he shouted at imli, the way he looked at Chakor... his hurt, his frustrations, his helplessness.
everyone got what they wanted.
and i am left with... loneliness.
i could have hugged him...
if only.. ... that car night out didn't happen.
if only... the 'friendship' bond between Suraj and Imli didn't mutate to sickeningly inappropriate levels.
if only... he never committed emotional infidelity. because that's what he has been indulging in since that fatal night and till now. physical infidelity can be forgiven. i for one will NOT forgive emotional one.
if only... he stood by Chakor. for Chakor. and only Chakor.. against the whole wide world.
if only... he understood what a woman wants from her man... respect, dignity, honour... love is priceless but not at the cost of self respect.
if only... he told her the truth.
if only... he could see the damage he has inflicted on everyone around him especially the girl he claims to love.
if only... he realizes he is victim by choice. Chakor was given no choice.
if only... he didn't thrust in a third equation between the sacred bond that should be shared by only two.
if only... cvs understood that we the majority audience will not accept the hero being so clueless, helpless and downright moronic. and above all... valuing his ex and best friend over his loving and devoted wife.
if only... Chakor were to meet the mechanic, got hurt over the 'lie' and truth of Suraj and walked out.
if only... there was no imli between Suraj and Chakor.
if only Suraj will fight for only Chakor to prove his innocence and win her back.
if only cvs used a logical needle (which would have sufficed) to carve out this separation instead of the hack saw and battle axe they used.
if only..
so yes... i felt sorry for Suraj.
and then i said... naa! let there be more tanhai for him.
call me sadist but from someone who wished nothing but only happiness, success, victories and bright burning aura for this character to now wishing worst of agony for him...
what changed?
p.s. VJ was brilliant in this segment.
