I was planning to binge watch all of SG and then post my thoughts but I just HAVE to pause to gush about the epis since Ajit ki entry......the show just took another level of layering wala turn since the moment Bedi Saab first mentioned woh chai ki chuskiyaan in front of Swaran.
So fascinating to watch the way they showed those transitions in Swaran....otherwise we had been familiarized with this woman so utterly devoted to and deeply in love with her husband who is a dream husband by any stretch of imagination.....but the way they showed this slice of her past with such subtlety and sensitivity - you could sense she genuinely deeply loves her husband but at the same time whatever she felt for Ajit in a different phase of her life was deep and true too. To see those two parts of Swaran jostling with each other in these scenes....beautifully done.
Have to mention the FBs of young Swaran and Bedi Saab too.....haha really adorable scenes showing how their relationship evolved from an arranged marriage to a deep/devoted love. Swaran sach mein maasoom bacchi hi thi....lol he handled her so well in getting her to open up about her relationship with Ajit. And aww he was instrumental in Ajit-Swaran turning into pen pals to keep in touch over the years cuz Swaran was upset he got married too😆.....ok I turned mush for all these plot devices cuz mere type ka old school hai.....haha chitthiyaan bhi hain❤️....now I can only hope they use all these tropes nicely aage.....
I've only now reached the party episode where Ajit comes to the house and him and Swaran talk for the first time in years....that little awkwardness over "twaada - aapka", Bedi saab watching with a bittersweet smile from the side, Ajit talking to Swaran about her kids in the photo.....all such nicely done scenes yaar👏.....I wasn't sure how Ajay would pan out in this role given the larger than life impact of Ronit as Bedi Saab....but he's holding his own vis a vis his equation with Swaran....let's see if it can continue to develop into something good.
There is scope to develop their relationship really well because Swaran devoted her life to Bedi Saab and her kids after marriage....but the Swaran before marriage is one known only to Ajit - woh alag dosti and understanding thi as she said in the FB also ki pyar ka izhaar bhi nahin karna padaa and bas aapas mein samajh thi ki pyar karte hain.....lol....so yeh alag waali understanding they can rekindle sensitively again but yeah time will tell kitna live up kar paayenge to potential given the channel and makers.....lol
Ok now back to catching up and then will blab more :P
