Amongst the struggles and juggles of life , playing the role of mother, wife and professional, I forgot to find time for myself. In fact, I didn't even realise that such a thing was happening to me. I was ok doing every of those tasks earnestly. For me "MY TIME was flipping channels mostly. While I did that I got addicted to one show from Sony but as the days went by I slowly started loosing interest. Even then I used to watch as I had got used to it and then , the show came to close. That's when I promised myself I will never get addicted to any show but who are we to make such promises ??!!
One night as I was flipping channels I saw this beautiful promo of a girl colliding with a boy in the school corridor. I kept the remote aside and waited to see if the promo came again on Sony. I was lucky after sometime they played it again. That simple promo captured my heart and my mind. Both my brain and heart mocked at me because they knew the promise of not getting addicted to a show was going to be broken. Yes, I did fall in love again but this time with this beautiful show "YEH UN DINON KI BAAT HAIN" It was love at first sight. My curiosity grew, and wanted to know more of those two school kids. Thanks to google. I did find out but what surprised me was that, the boy was "RANDEEP RAI ". Good Lord !! he looked so different , he had reduced weight , his hair was styled differently and looked a lot like our Hindi Cinema's Bhaijan , were the thoughts that popped into my mind.
I had smile on my face knowing it was Randeep because I had seen couple of his other shows and I always had felt he was a brilliant actor but never got some one could compliment his acting . In a love story , it is important that the two people ( both the leads ) in love should be able to pull the story at the same pace only then the viewers would feel connected.
This made me thinking , would this new Girl "ASHI SINGH" be that one person with whom Randeep can pull this love story??!! And you know what , in the first episode , the scene in which Naina and Preethi was cycling to the school won my heart and I knew with out doubt, yes SHE IS ONE. They will do it fine . From the day one till date these two never disappointed me as a viewer . In fact I eagerly wait for the episode to be aired so that I could see my Sameer and Naina .
All those moments that we considered as precious from our past , slowly started opening up in front of my eyes. A typical studious girl Naina and the typical back bencher Sameer. Lord what a combination!! Opposites ready to attract. Every act that Randeep as Sameer and Ashi as Naina portrayed on the screen only brought in those beautiful memories of my school days , college days and ...the challenges faced during a "Parents Approved inter-cast marriage . This show through Naina and Sameer , ignited the need to have "MY TIME too , during which no one in my house got the remote. And this led to other's in the family watching the show with me. ROFL...( And pls note , they are equally addicted , if they miss the show due to office ,thanks to SonyLiv , they don't have to wait for a re-telecast)
We have been watching these two kids and their journey to adulthood. We have laughed with them and cried with them too. I wonder what would Randeep and Ashi who are playing these characters be feeling about their journey as Sameeer and Naina. Wish I could read their minds. Will they be as overwhelmed and teary eyed or would it be just another character that they portray in their professional life. I don't know...and I don't think I have a way to know that...but I have to tell you all a truth, "Today as I get ready to see Sameer and Naina married . I feel very overwhelmed. I feel teary eyed. There is a sense of joy knowing that two kids, who fell in love in their school days , are going to be life partners soon. Along with this joy , there is this pain thinking that lord how fast the time flies ..they grew up so fast. Now they are going to get married."
Probably this is how every parent will feel when they see their kids getting married ...probably this is how my mom also felt when I got married...This is another thing about this show, they remind us the importance of lil things in life which gives happiness ...and make us feel after all this world isn't that bad as it looks. All we need is someone by our side holding our hands with a promise of togetherness.
I am sure each one of you who watched this show would have your own experience of Joy , like the way it did to me!! Now that Sameer and Naina are gearing up for their big day...let us all join hands to cheer them ...and at the same time get ready to watch them as married couples .
Friends do share your thoughts on this show and how you feel about seeing Sameer and Naina getting married.
