I am going to write you a long appreciation post, Seher. Because, I feel that very few people (especially girls) relate to Shravan this deeply. We all do, in our own way but his yearning as a child and his journey from that sixteen year old to the man he is now, very few understand it and try to see beyond the armour he had built around himself. For the longest time, I felt like Shravan was a part of me (still is) because his emotions are a mirror to mine and I can see through your writings that he is a part of you too. ❤️
By the way, you had asked my name. The name is Saleha and I wanted to discuss the show with you. So, my first question is which your favorite scene on EDKV and why?
P.S: If I am not being indiscreet, how old are you?
Haha, appreciation post are always welcome by me, Saleha...😳 Btw, beautiful name with beautiful meaning... Your name reminded me of Urdu stories and also that I should read one soon... 😆
@Bold: Thank you for that, really, I have always felt so much for and because of Shravan but never have been able to say it in words during the discussions we used to have here on the forums. You telling me that you think I can understand and relate to him is really a compliment, an honor, really, he is such a complex yet simple but still complicated character that I will never fall out of love with him...
@Italic:- He is, he really is...He is a part of me, in many ways, I understand and relate to his actions, the devotion and even his cynic-yet-hopeful persona, especially that...As you beautifully said, his emotions are a mirror to mine ...
My fav scene, you ask...God, there are so many, especially because I have watched each episode numerous times and... But there is a scene that just took my breath away, unforgettable; Shravan's solo scene, the scene right after the whole track of Suman trying to jump off to earn his trust. That 1-minute long scene where he leaning at the windshield of his car, just stupefied, overwhelmed, smitten and so in love and with so much hope in his eyes...
That was the very first time in the whole series when he actually let himself hope for a happy future, for the first time he was himself, so breathtakingly beautiful in his hope, he for the first time was actually happy with the fact that he had been in with Suman for so long and admitted it with such a carefreeness...Because finally, he was sure that she cared, cares enough, so much, to the point to jump off, for the first time he was absolutely sure that she won't leave him, that she could be his, that she wasn't going anywhere, and that a lot, a lot for someone who suffers from abandonment issues. I don't think anyone has actually realised how much his fear of being abandoned has dominanted his life. Most of them don't even think about it because even though it was so obvious in his every word, in his actions, most of the people have took it in the wrong context or didn't even gave it a thought.
They think he is such a good son, blindly trusts his father and has a good relationship with his father, etc... But if you actually think about it, his relationship with his father isn't a normal father-son one, its more of a God-worshipper one, Ramnaath clearly has such a strong hold on him that it can never break off. And the driving force of their relationship ins't love, or at least not only, the driving force of their relationship is fear, fear of losing his father, of making him leave by doing something wrong, something that his father doesn't approves of. He has given Ramnaath an absoloute power over him and it's the fear of losing his only family that causes Shravan to cling on the only person who he has...
But that aside, the scene was just so pure, Shravan's smile, his words, "if she can jump off, for me, to earn my trust, that means that she won't ever leave me." At that moment, the only moment, he was sure that she won't leave him, in that moment his fear of abandonment was appeased because finally, he had an assurance that she would stay, she won't leave him, ever. That smile, those beautiful eyes of his shining from happiness, without hesitation, without fear, without holding back, that determination and the love he has harbored in his heart for her more than a decade was finally freed...
Oh, God, I have no words for the beauty of that scene, Namik had done an amazing job on every episode, but that scene, he killed it. I won't ever be able to forget that scene, especially because it was purely Shravan, in that moment, that scene, Shravan was himself and he let him be himself, so pure, so hopeful, and so grateful... Her one impulsive gesture, a few words had melted him into becoming something so pure and so heartbreakingly BEAUTIFUL. And my heart breaks whenever I think of that scene, because what happened after that scene...
To me, that scene represents Shravan's internal thoughts, hopes, desires and cravings...
It also is a reminder of how she breaks him, but still has the power to built him again and the breaks and the cycal continues. To me, it's a reminder of each time he tried to stand, each time he tried to overcome, each time he tried to overlook.
I am not saying that he wasn't at fault, he was, has been, countless times, both of them had had their own demons to fight and both had their own fears and it's them who had let those fears and demons bring them down, to be as petty as they have been. But I honestly think that she had more power over him than he had. In this chapter I wrote about it too, Shravan is that kind of person who has let each person he loved, a power over him to ruin him or make him. He actually is bounded by his love for his people, painfully selfless and when he gets hurt, he carries wounds that take very long to heal, if ever...
^^ ... 😲 Sorry for such a long answer...I can talk about that scene for forever, it was amazingly powerful, short but strangely strong. I don't think many people noticed it, because it was so short but it took my breath away, Shravan that night took my breath away... Sorry for the lengthy response... What's your favorite scene and why? 😳P.S: Haha, I think of myself as ageless, because sometimes I feel as if I am stuck in my late teens and sometimes I feel like I am 80 years old, I can never stick to one age for long, but physical wise, my body is 25 years old... 😆
