Since my post is relevant here too... Just copy pasting from the other thread. Sorry to disappoint all Siddhant fans, but my prediction is that he is not going to be the patriotic one. My two cents follow:


****

I watched again...

And the foreshadowing with Afreen's character calling him Sadiq/Siddhant suggests that Siddhant is not Siddhant but Sadiq.

Go back to yesterday's episode. Check the fight between Sadiq and Yusuf. When Sadiq has an upper hand over Yusuf and is tightening the noose around Yusuf's neck... they showed Sadiq having flashes of him being beaten to death by Sartaj. He only saw that. And he felt an anger, that he fed into his fight with Yusuf. Hence Afreen shouting Sadiq did not help because it just fuelled his anger more.

But Afreen has understood that the only way she can appeal to the human in him is when she calls him Siddhant (who is lost somewhere deep inside this new Sadiq), and its only then that his flashes change and he sees himself as not the person who was tortured but the soldier he was originally. the editing is so beautiful that his life as Siddhant a person is a mere hit and miss glimpse. So his family... does not appear much in his thoughts, its only him as a soldier.

I really am convinced that Sadiq is really Sadiq, and he is working on Operation Badshah in all honesty. That is why he was smiling yesterday when he gave lala the two options of Lahore and Karachi, he knew it there and then, that Lala will pick Karachi, as both of them were watching the Nazneen Khan drama unfolding behind them on the TV. He is counting on the Indian army to send a message through Nazneen, he will take their help and come to India as Siddhant, but will become Sadiq once he is here and unleash havoc when he gets here.

The above, comes from what I read of Gazal Thakur (the one who plays Shaira) on instagram, where she was praising Rasika Duggal (the one who plays the role of Siddhant's Sister) for giving a performance of a lifetime. I am sure, that as Siddhant's sister she can give a performance of a lifetime only when she has to choose between two unchoosable options. When she would have to reject the only person she has ever loved like a mad woman (her brother - so much so that she never forgave Vikram Singh, and never married him, for failing Siddhant) and do the right thing - save him by killing him/or something equally drastic. Its somewhat like what Wolverine did in Xmen III to Jean. Killed the bad part of Jean to deliver the good part of Jean to death and let her rest in peace. Perhaps Shobha will finally make the choice of killing Sadiq, so she can allow Siddhant to live in her memories, eternally.

If this story goes the typical Indian soldier - patriotic till he dies - it won't be dramatic enough. He has to turn.

Hence I feel Sadiq is going to be Sadiq, and not a closet Siddhant.

frankly, only in that song' 'ishq hawa hai' i saw some emotions in his eyes for afreen , never after their marriage 😛

do you see any scope for redemption if sadiq is indeed sadiq ? i hope there wont be any cliched filmy scene like sister killing brother 😕 IMO, if he in the end agrees to bust the terror network of lala and co with our IB and RAW , then a tragic ending can be avoided

LOL... I don't mind if he is Siddhant and not Sadiq. So you girls relax.

But I just feel that the story would get over even before the slated 156 episodes, if he was Siddhant, that's all. 😛

And some human drama is always good for TRP naa. hahahahahaha... makes it all that more exciting.

As for his redemption... I am rooting for super emotional play towards the end. This serial is a hindi adaptation of an Israeli serial, in which the person playing the role of Siddhant turns rogue, and feels regrets only when he sees his sister. The sister is his trigger. So I guess we can count on a dhamakedaar Shobha-Siddhant showdown for sure.

... and Sadiq always says, that with him every thing has to happen with a dhamaka.. 😆

If you go back to the episodes when Siddhant first entered the show, you will notice that the PH spent a lot of time on establishing the character curve of Siddhant's back story. Which is not something they did for either Sartaj or Imaan. Their stories were told, but not in that elaborate a fashion that they did with Siddhant.

They showed his relationship with his mentor/teacher Vikram in detail, and so also his relationship with sister Shobha, they spent 2-3 episodes showing him playing antakshari in a car with Vikram and Shobha, cricket watching, diwali time at house... him flirting with that daughter of the defence officer, taking photographs as one family with the girl, shobha and vikram. And then ended his story with the move to Kargil, when he made that final statement - When we all come back, I would like us to be a family, for real. Hinting at marriage of Vikram and Shobha.

That is a lot of foreshadowing to establish his character. He might want the family for his sister, because that is something both his sis and him did not have, but he wore his heart on his sleeve as far as his own love life was concerned. He was a young officer who was very ambitious as far as his career as a soldier is concerned.

Now take that all in and look at his present day scenario as "hussain's Dushman". The very fact that he let a child call him Dushman, a child he had much affection for, says something. I feel he took hussain under his wing, the way his sister took the young Siddhant under her wing... and hence I feel that his turning after hussain's death could be a very valid reason.

For him Hussain was his only family in that alien space amongst all those people who were always against him, and that includes Afreen too... because even she goaded him on and called him dushman and asked whether he will always remain dushman now that Hussain was dead. I feel if Siddhant did have any feelings for Afreen they would have died that day. Because he may have figured that she is always going to be suspicious of him and his motives, even if she was in love with him. See it's one thing to be in love with someone and profess to know them, but she does not even give him that credit. She actually doubted his intention towards the most purest connection he ever had in Lala's haveli. For me, I read that as a big blow to Sadiq, enough for him to withdraw from her emotionally. He will still do all things for her as her husband, but he is not emotionally attached, if he were, he would seal their romance with the child that her mother so pushes her to have with him.

As for his redemption... I am rooting for super emotional play towards the end. This serial is a hindi adaptation of an Israeli serial, in which the person playing the role of Siddhant turns rogue, and feels regrets only when he sees his sister. The sister is his trigger. So I guess we can count on a dhamakedaar Shobha-Siddhant showdown for sure.
