Good morning !!!
Vartika, I debated whether I should write anything in this thread or not. I decided to bite the bullet and write to give myself a closure. I do not do well with closures and agonize over good byes generallyHere we go, one more long, dwindling, convoluted nonsense from my end:
First off, I really don't care about actors( unless it is SRK, Kajol ), I only get attached to characters and most of you must have noticed that I get very critical when the character does something totally out of character, pun fully intended😃. Season 1 happened totally out of the blue for me. Till then, my count of watching serials is 1 and my girl in that show was pissing me really bad and I was ranting and raving. One of my friends then suggested this one, in October last year, to watch for Mauli's fiesty and decisive actions. She suggested that I watch her breakdown episode and was completely sold on her. I watched randomly the ones prior to that breakdown, and I almost threw up at the cheater couple and the fake innocence and contrived friendship👎🏼 I loved how Mauli dealt with the cheater couple, purposefully, with a simmering rage and controlled fury till the leap happened. I cheered for her soo hard when she threw the cheater husband out, when the guy thought he was the one who had left her👏I wept with all three women holding on to each other crying, each of them in turn being a strength and a stake for the other two. That image is sooo powerfully poignant for me, would never, EVER let me look at the cheater guy with even an ounce of forgiveness.
Then Ishaan and Mishti happened and as they say, the rest is history. I would have given anything for those two to be together ( well not literally, may be I would have given away my bagel ). But, I wished with all my heart never to separate those two. After the leap, I really didn't care for Mauli anymore. She became unstable, insensitive and almost ruthless when it came to how she dealt with Ishaan, Mishti and her eyes were always on the cheater and his child, which I really couldn't stomach. People who have known me from season 1 know very well the wrath I unleashed on Mauli and cheater family.
Then, season 2 happened, I was very peeved at the way they ended season 1, the way Ishaan was humiliated and how chotu's wishes and well being were not the first priority for her mother. I was so bitter that I even projected that bitterness onto season 2 characters. I really didn't care about badi Mishti and Ruhaan. I felt they were too flaky and too arrogant respectively for my liking. I wasn't watching, only keeping track of write ups to see if there would be any FBs of Ishaan, Mishti. That is it. Then, birthday episodes happened and again, my chotu Mishti and badi Mishti became one👍🏼I opened up my mind towards Ruhaan's point of view, found him to be a serious, sensitive, amazing guy whom I have been hating for really no reason. I apologized to him in the face of the forum and was sold on the couple from then on🤗. You all know how I felt from there on.
I looked at Mishti, Ruhaan as not selfless characters, but rather people who strived to do the right thing by everybody, including themselves. Even though, I was skeptical about Mishti's intentions in the beginning of Mishti, Ruhaan's love saga, she quickly convinced me otherwise that she is as invested in Ruhaan as he is in her. This immensely satisfied me. But, then she began acting out of character with the stupid last 4 weeks. I simply couldn't reconcile with her. But what to do, chotu Mishti always has a big piece of my heart in a vice like grip, so I forgave her in the last 2 episodes, mostly because of the fact that the writers decided to make it hilarious. I wished there was a proper talk between Ruhaan, Mishti in the end, because after all what would preclude her from pulling such a stunt on him again? Marrying him is not a guarantee that she won't do such a thing again. I wished there were 1-2 episodes to bring everything to a logical closure. I would have loved a heartfelt talk rather than the stupid atta romance. That film of tears in her eyes as he welcomes her home🤗😭❤️, has done a lot of heartwarming for me rather than the atta romance. By now, you must have realized I am averse to atta romance in general. This would have kicked up the episode to the level of the turning point episode of the jungle or the night out on the balcony. They could have just done away with the family bonding too, especially since Ruhaan is very wary of the family🤔The guy is stupid and too sensitive to Mishti's heartfelt wishes, to have decided to live that close to her family🤗He is paying a price for it already😃Anyway, I am happy that they ended the show on a funny and happy note, rather then leaving us bitter, irritated and flustered and walking like ticking time bombs.
My anger and disgust for a certain character😡👎🏼, all of you are aware of. And I promise you, that will not change at the way everything ended. I turned around and softened towards Veer about 3/4 way into the show, at the beginning of the torture of the last 3-4 weeks. See, I am not such a hopeless caseafter all.
Overall, I would have to admit Silsila had been a very reasonable, logical show for me when compared to the other show I watched, except for the last 4 weeks. The earlier part of the show was handled sensibly and gracefully , much above my expectations👍🏼Thank you writers for giving us male leads such as Ishaan and Ruhaan who cherished their girls to death for once👍🏼😭❤️It is truly heartwarming to see that.
But, where do we meet again, people? Even when I got mad at the show and decided to punish it by not watching it, I knew this whole family of supporters are out there under this roof. But, now there is no roof above our heads. Like I said, I don't do well with Good byes! Will this forum go away or do they let us work this out of our systems at our own pace?
Sorry Vartika, I set out to write something, this became something else. Later girls.......
