Samaina Jealousy

There is a lot of depth behind this difference in jealousy. It shows the journey these two have crossed together. Naina was insecure and jealous about Sameer but took it as a silly expression telling him to stay away from the girl. This is because, after the redemption track Sameer had instilled a deep security and stability in Naina. She knew despite it all that Sameer is hers. Period. No girl not even Sunaina could take the place she has in his life. This is especially evident with the amount of trust she had in Sameer during the delhi track and how she was willing to fight him to have him back during the manhoosiyat track

On the other hand, Sameer is a lot more possessive about Naina because there is still a deep seated fear in him that someday Naina will realise how much better she is than him and on finding someone better tan him will leave him. This is not because he doesn't believe in Naina's love, its because he has never had the love and affection that Naina showers on him except of course his Nanu. But this is why he is a lot more insecure about it. His Naina showered so much care and love on him and then died. He is scared of going through that pain again. When Naina left him, it was like the life had gone out of him. Because despite Mundit being there, he felt he had no reason to live as there won't be anyone he would want to live for. Which is why he pondered suicide but didn't commit it because he knew Naina would take that step too. And he couldn't bear that.

Moreover, after meeting Naina, Vishaka prodded that spot of insecurity in Sameer by stating that in Naina's comparison he was the one who was lacking. That's why he fears losing Naina that stokes his flame of jealousy to no avail.

This is not saying that Naina loves him any less. Its that difference in their roots which they constantly acknowledge. Sameer will always have the missing childhood while Naina despite having a struggling childhood will always have her chachaji to fall back on. If Nanu were alive today, his jealousy wouldn't have been that fierce. Because he too would have security of not only that he is good enough for Naina but also that he will always have someone to love him like Naina does. And I am glad that this feeling has not been done away with in future because that would be unrealistic. Sameer would always have scars of an empty childhood no matter how close he and Naina have become that loss can be filled but will never be whole.

you have so . rightly put it across

it is cent percent true

the whole that nanu left will always be void and can not be filled

but with naina he craves for the love that he has never received apart from nanu and hence does not want to let her go

Naina is the essence through which he is living his life

that is why it is always meri naina

without this essence his life is incomplete

so he always wants naina to be close to him

and is scared of losing her like he lost nanu

Yes the whole meri Naina is always voiced like its gentle caress on his soul. There is pride , love, a wholesome feeling but also that void which he tries to fill with 'meri'. I think this is why I particularly appreciated the Delhi track. Yes it was difficult to go through but it brought leagues of depth in Sameer's love for Naina. The loss of Nanu and its subsequent trauma which led to delinquency was dealt with so well.

One particular scene sums this all up: Naina dreams of Sameer being trapped in a closet and crying out for her. It is at the same time that he gets really involved with the bad gang and starts depending on them. I see that scene as poignant because without realising Sameer's soul was calling out to her.

yeah the fulfillment in his life is naina and can only be brought by her

His soul has always been connected to her with or without his knowledge

like in the mount abu track too

he did not want her to confess though he got many chances

Their souls were tethered long before they met because they sensed each other even before Naina first saw Sameer. She is his conscience, humanity, the calm before the storm and the light to cross over to throughout it. Their love each other is magical, poetic and divine.

yes I completely agree

they have been connected way before their first meeting

and maybe the dupatta which he tore

is a symbol that naina and sameer were always meant to be

and they are tied with each other
