Ankita's pic with the diya kind of seems like closure for me as well. It kinda makes sense, brings it back to full circle. I will always remember them fondly, and the love they had for each other and we for them. The whole thing kinda just proves you really can't stop loving someone, you just get used to their absence in your life.

I hope regardless of why it happened, he is in peace now and twinkling like a star. It's amazing how much love has poured out for him all these days.

Wish I'd known about it yesterday then I'd have posted a diya for him too. Oh well, it's ok this way too I guess.

Tum na hue mere toh kya, main tumhara main tumhara main tumhara raha. ❤️

I can't imagine how busy you've been! I keep hearing that the numbers in India are being underreported due to a lack of testing or other lack of resources, do you feel that it's true? I feel like healthcare professionals have been working in overdrive for months now but there is so much going on it's nearly impossible to keep up. Over here it feels like there is no end in sight...

I remember back in the day you would tell us about your adventures in medical school, what a long way you've come! Honestly so proud of you for achieving your dreams girl!

Haha, yeah it's been such a long journey now.. Was in 2nd year of mbbs when I joined pr forum in 2009, now 11 years later I'm done with mbbs, internship, icu- medicine housemanship, post graduation in emergency/acute medicine and finally now working as associate consultant in a teaching hospital with students under me. Didn't realize when we grew up! I still go back sometimes to read my old stories and laugh at my stupidity or the characters and all our running jokes on them.

Regarding covid, honestly in the initial days I'd read a lot about under-testing too, but I don't know how true it is, because in my region and hospitals the testing has been quite diligent and strict, with the municipal corporations doing contact tracing very seriously and sealing buildings off. Earlier the testing centres were limited in many parts and disease hadn't spread to community, so testing had to be done a little conservatively with preference for high suspects (travel/contact history) critical patients, elderly patients and the like. Now of course there are adequate kits and testing centres. Actually the disease became difficult to control once it entered the slums all over.

Things are super busy of course, also tend to get gloomy at times here, I'm mostly painting/sketching/reading off duty to keep myself sane!

Okay girl I see you!!! Look at you making moves!! Now you have your own students! I wonder if they have anyone they obsess over and post online about like we used to (and kind of still do I guess). I feel like such an old lady these days. Back when PR first started I thought they were sooo old at 23-24. 😆 Now I am well beyond that and can say confidently that I don't know nothing.

Interesting to hear your take! I'm thankful to hear about how seriously it is being taken in your area. I hope this will all be over some day and you can take some time off to recalibrate.

Seeing all these names again, brings back so many memories. Like super random ones. Of the time Mahesh and Anisha were with Sushant to attend his talk with Shekhar Kapur in another city. When the PR team gathered at their apartment for a little housewarming party when they shifted there, all the antagonistic feeling towards Shravani and Pooja's voice (yea, I told you they were random..), and gosh... actually all I remember is the fun times they all used to have . All the freaking parties. All the trips . How I used to feel happy for the silliest things - like when I saw Prarthana with them on some trip and was happy that they haven't lost touch lol.

I think the reason a part of me sort of enjoyed all the pics we got of their parties was that I have never really had that kind of ability - to just expand my circle of friends and social acquaintances with such ease. I marveled at how the number of people they kept inviting over to their place just keep increasing .. and you know , even after their breakup, whenever I used to see a part of their apartment in Anki's insta pics , be it the living room, or the balcony, it brings back so many memories of what was. Some pics I can never forget . For example , there was this pic of Ankita with Sushant's sister Shweta in one area of the house. Then their stack of awards on the wall shelves.

I know I am talking more about their family , friends and acquaintances, but I guess what I am trying to say is.. He really felt so at home there. He was so so happy.

Sigh.

Oh girl do I feel this! I am not the most social person and it always amazed me how openly they lived their life. Anyone was welcome to come over and stay over and join them wherever they were going. They seemed to navigate it all so easily... seemingly never said no to anyone. I remember how bewildered we used to be that they would become friends with and invite over people who had previously not been the kindest to them. Personally I have trouble keeping up with even a handful of people. I don't know how they did it.

I also feel you on all the random memories. That has been happening to me too. Including odds and ends from discussions about PR, like Manohar and his glasses and his forever confused expression lol. Or the sudden animosity I had the ability to feel towards anyone who even seemed to slight them whether in reel or real life. Or our ☺️ faces when spicy new pictures would surface.

I always feel weird when I see comments about how nobody ever supported him or how he never had any real friends... like I guess I can't speak for how he felt, but I don't quite agree. At least back then I felt like he was surrounded by people who genuinely liked and respected him. And he never had to force a smile... he used to look so truly happy.

I don't know where people dig these things up from but I saw this floating around, from a late 2016 interview...

"Ankita and you were together for a long time. Will she always be an integral part of your life?

Of course, there are few things that have actually shaped the way I am today. One of those things was my mother. I stayed with Ankita for seven years. There are very few things I am sure I would be reminded of just before dying and this would definitely be one of them, in a good way."

:(

Edit: I vaguely remember reading this back then (and totally not believing him - I was still so mad), but now it hits different...

Sooo I somehow ended up in ArMan Heaven #17 and omg... the memories...!

Those were the "dry" days of 2014 when we didn't get much content so we would flip out over every little thing. Many things from that thread did NOT age well (the marriage "ultimatum" :/ ...) but many more things are going to be memories forever.

Shoutout to all my girls!!! I ❤️ y'all. There were some specific pictures I had been searching for that I had no idea of how or where to find but of course you guys had posted them in there (extra love to Anu and Bonne and Lunza and Tanmi for that). And this was the thread where Niki was on her apartment floorplan quest. We put sooo much effort into that and I even made a diagram. LOL Sometimes more than the actual "content" I miss all that craziness... All of the ridiculous references like Aunty and all the KMHs who were forever inconveniently standing in pictures... Our attempts to get the best ambiguous screenshots of ArMan scenes to make them look dirtier than they really were... Being a fan without this community wouldn't have been nearly as much fun.

Gosh TB.. The days when we started getting the apartment pics were the best days! I was so so happy that they had such a beautiful nest of their own, their lives were full of love, financial security, friends, fame and fans, plus they had all the ashirwad from both sets of families! What more can one want! It was the real Sushita Heaven. Even today whenever I see pics of anki with the white closet or those balcony chairs, I remember old days. Such good, good days!

I'd go back reading those happy threads anyday than browse through the shit going on in bollywood in sushant's name. It saddens me to see the kind of people he was surrounded with in BW.

Apparently Ekta is in talks with Ankita to make Pavitra Rishta 2. I don’t want it to happen

Not gonna happen. At least not with ankita.

If I've known even a bit of Anki in 11 years, I can vouch that this rubbish pr2 is not ankita's idea.
