Week 20 - Love that hurts

The beauty of the show Kuch Rang Pyar ke aise Bhi is that it deals with all sorts of Love..not just the love between a boy and a girl! And as much of happiness Love gives, there is also certain amount of hurt that we have to endure and this week was all about that.

Neha's wedding day was the beginning of the week. This is the first time I have seen a TV show with underplayed wedding emotions. Usually in the visual medium, especially in the world of TV serials, its melodramatic, very exaggerated. However, in this show, right from the background music up until the facial expressions of the actors..it was very realistic. Whatever I write about this, will be less for the genuineness of this show, especially this week. There was laughter and joy in everyone's faces as the rituals happened.. and there was sadness slowly building up in everyone's faces as the episode progressed.. 


Last week we left at Sonakshi locked in Dev's room. Even though Dev was participating in all the rituals, he was extremely anxious about leaving Sona in his room. With the wedding rituals getting busier and busier, with the guests coming by, he could not get to her, even though he tried his best. Finally, Sonakshi did manage to get out of Dev's room, but Ishwari was the one who let her out, and there was a lot of discomfort in both Ishwari and Sona's body language and conversation. It was only after Sona came out, was Dev able to focus on everything 
😄


There is an ongoing discussion among fans on why Sona did not text Eleena or why she did not come out of the other door leading to the garden from Dev's room.. We don't have the floor plan for Ishwari Niwas..so no questioning that or if you are sure there is another door, lets assume that door was closed from outside... and lets assume, the phone did not have charge 
😄 One CID fan told me that when Sona went in, her phone was not at all with her..so there was no way of calling anyone 
😄


I have utmost confidence in Dev's loyalty towards Sonakshi and vice versa. They didn't have to really take that Oath to prove their sincerity to the audience... However, the conception of that scene was extremely nice and was an opportunity for Dev to see for himself how much Sona has taken him over - even as he is performing the most important duty of a brother - the "kanyadhaan" of his sister, the person that has occupied him is Sonakshi. For Dev, this whole love saga is a new experience that is teaching him something about himself everyday
😄❤️ I especially liked the way both Dev and Sonakshi talked about respecting each other, of all the promises. The unlimited wifi connection was installed between Dev and Sona on June 14th, so they completing each other's thought on cooking was no surprise to me! But, the dialogue writers know how to make us smile 😊


The promises of the actual people, who it was meant to be for - Ranveer and Neha, were also very sincere. For some reason, this week, I am getting some confidence in this couple. I am positive, they will make a sincere effort to keep their promises, if there is no external influence.


Being a woman, I was extremely affected by the event of Neha's departing for her husband's home. The scene itself, again done so calmly with very little background score or melodrama. But the intensity was huge! Shaheer was at his best that day! Whether it was being restless and engrossed in an unexplainable sadness, or whether it was breaking down to Sonakshi about how selfish he was  in giving more time to him and her and not to Neha on her important day, or whether it was crying like a child even after Sonakshi's consoling.. "par..Neha chali gayi..mein usko roz nahi dekh saktha.." Awesome Shaheer 
👏🏻👏🏻you really really rock. Thank you for giving us a Dev to dream about.


When a woman gets married and leaves her home, she is busy in getting to know her new family..in doing the wedding related rituals..that even though she misses her family, she doesn't get much opportunity to express it.. And because of that, she probably never realizes what happens in her parent's house after she leaves them.. Most of the shows don't even show the emotions from the bride's parents' point of view.. Will a family miss their girl so much? Will a brother miss his sister so much? Will the sisters miss their sister this much? I started imagining the state of mind my own family and my own brother when I got married.. and may be because of that or may be because of the extraordinary acting by the team of actors...I could not stop my tears...It will be too less a compliment if I say it was the best ever "Bidaai" shown on a small or big screen.


Love that hurts...With Neha's bidaai -  It was sibling love that hurt..the love of a mother for her daughter that got hurt.. and the love of a lover that got hurt - who is unable to stop her tears seeing her "stronger than lion" man break down in her lap. 


Makers - if you guys haven't realized yet, this is the time to realize that you are doing an amazing show called Kuch Rang Pyar ke aise Bhi..

The 2 little sisters need a special mention for bringing in the much needed fun of the wedding environment. Their missing Neha was not surprising to me, but Dev coming with an ice cream to cheer them up was surely a surprise! Dev has completely soaked in the colors that his Sonakshi brought with her and his every action proves that.


Even though he consoled his sisters, neither them nor him can get over Neha's absence so quickly.. Sona's call later at night to see if Dev was ok and her way of getting Dev to fall asleep was something only two hearts in love can understand. Beautiful 
😊❤️ Dev's being blunt and honest with Sonakshi about their love taking away his quality time with Neha is also something only people who have felt true love can understand. Being in love is being able to be yourself without having any filters for right or wrong. You have to be honest. 


Its amazing how the 2 very strong central characters that we saw before are both turning out to be so tender inside, 100 episodes later..They melt around each other and melt our hearts every time they enact an emotional sequence. This is true for Ishwari as well. Such a strong lion-like personality gets hurt for a simple reason that her son is not spending enough time with her these days. May be its not simple? I might know when I become older and my son spends more time with his girl friend instead of me 
😞


The love that Ishwari always had for her son is causing her huge pain now. That day, inspite of her fighting the different emotions of getting her daughter married and given away, a major portion of her mind is also preoccupied with Dev's interactions with Sonakshi and his overall distance from herself. To add to the fuel, she caught Sona in Dev's room, locked during the wedding. She caught Dev not paying attention when he was called for performing the ritual.  Later, she caught Sonakshi open up Dev's cupboard to take a file - although the reason was Dev really might have thought Ishwari will be resting due to her leg ache.


It was amazing the way the actress expressed the fury on Ishwari's face that implied "Dev is mine - who are you, outsider?" And the same fury was disguised in a silly chiding when she told Dev "thats why you asked Sonakshi to get the file, which is usually my job!" She continued this feeling towards Dev when she reprimanded him for visiting Neha's house without informing her. Inside she is hurt really badly from the birthday saree incident onwards until the blue file incident. And such incidents are only bound to happen more because, Dev's love is now shared between her and Sonakshi. When Ishwari learns all the details, it is going to hurt her more. 


Ishwari, in an attempt to prove to herself that her son Dev has not changed and is the same, decided to bring out her trump card - besan halwa. And she was right, Dev was going to gobble it all up. It was sheer coincidence that Sona asked him to stay away from sweets that day.. I wish Ishwari gave more credit to Dev for letting go of it, in order to take care of his health. After all, she would want the same for her son - good health. But now, she was not playing the role of just a mother..she was playing the role of a possessive mother..Why does love always come with possessiveness? They say, if you really love someone, you must let him/her go..But in reality, its hard to practice, especially for a mother. That night, I am glad that Dev came back and finished the halwa.. Ishwari would have broken down a lot, if he didn't finish it.. Thanks Dev.. Is the halwa really that tasty? I would like to taste it some time..


On the other hand, possessiveness between lovers is cute..The way the two wrote their names.. it was like - "This item belongs to me" 😄 And the humor about meeting on weekends in comparison to a tourist spot was 😂😂 But seriously, Dev - when do you sleep ya? you have things to do at 2AM, 3AM, 5AM, 6AM..Now, even I am worried about your health.. not just Sona..Please sleep well.They say, 8hrs of sleep is necessary.. Neither you sleep nor you let your fans sleep!! Who can sleep after that "aur pass.." moment? 
😄❤️😍 Dev, you don't know how much Sonakshi was checking you out before.. If only you knew!! Do you remember the time when the button in your shirt had come off? Or do you remember the time, you were teaching Sona how to play the video game? Those were all times she was checking you out..Ask us, we have a collection of VMs for you!!


I was missing the good natured Natasha..especially talking about "Love that hurts". Her re-entry in dialogues was nice, but unfortunately, it was such an unpleasant sequence..when Mr.Gujral has turned villain to the Ishwari communications and to Dev. Natasha has always been the right kind of girl. Today as well, it was endearing to know of Natasha's stand against her dad's move. Apparently there is a big loss for Dev, but the righteous person that he is, Dev did not want to take any action against Mr.Gujral's company just because he didn't want to hurt Natasha.


The scene where Sonakshi expresses her sadness over Dev's huge loss was an extremely important one for Dev and Sona. Whenever the 2 come onscreen its very important for us! But that aside, the way Dev explains how he is fortunate to have Sonakshi in his life and how he cannot think of a life without her was important for Sona to understand how sincere his love is. And her answer to Dev asking him "to not think of a life without her because its her promise that she will never ever let go of him even if he does" was extremely important for Dev - because, in future, there might be a situation when he has to let go of her, according to the initial promos...


Neha's first day in Ranvir's home was not great as she had to share her room and bed with 2 little kids of Ranvir's brother..But the following day, Dev promptly showing up at his dear sister's place brought big smiles on her face. However was not welcome by Ranvir and rightly so... I hope Dev let Neha-Ranvir bond to grow on their own, without his intervention. An air conditioner might bring a good night's sleep, but a movie and outing with a husband will bring peace... quality time with each other is necessary to develop bonding. Once the mind is peaceful, the sleep will be peaceful. An air conditioner cannot bring peace 
😊


Gareeb ki beti was missing in action this week, but did her little part on the last day. and I terribly miss Kichu Bhaiya..anyone share the same sentiment? Hope he comes back soon..
