But honestly speaking, this tragedy, i think is more impactful than a happily ever after would ever be. The ending had to be tragic. We have spoken about this before.
We obviously would have loved a happy ending. Shamsher even redeemed himself. And HOW. They were perfect! Their love was perfect!
But then,
..they wanted to show that they were doomed since day one. Their first meeting itself was dark. shamsher did cross all his limits in love. The very foundation of their relationship was not right.. Shamsher does tell that woh khudrath se cheen kar Mehak ko paana chata hai.. and look at what khudrath did to him.. cuz he went against it. Throughout the show, they were obvious hints, especially with Shamsher's dialogues on how he cant live without her, how he will protect her till his last breath, how he would die but never return to his father's house, how the father would regret cuz he would be the one losing everything if anything happened to Mehak.. so yeah its all Basically to tie up all this.. and hence it does come across as very impactful also.. im just so sad typing this.. The writer knew the audience's pulse will be with Shamsher.. anything happens to him, thats gonna be legendary.. people wont forget this and will find it hard to move on. And they wanted it all exactly to be like that.
as someone who was a bit of a distant viewer, am glad the writer went for this tragedy. I would have been uncomfortable with a happy ever after. the point of the writer seems to be this -- when you start off something with a wrong foot, no amount of sorry or apology can undo something already gone off the rails. so yes, shamsher changed but in some ways, it was a little too late.
he was like a hurricane that swept through mehak's life and he caused a lot of emotional distress to her and her family. even for his own family, he was a whirlpool they had no control over. to the end, they are blaming mehak like she was some seductress after the money when shamsher would not give up.
so yes, you can fall in love but how do you go about it? how do you handle rejection? how do you propose a rishta in a proper way? you can't win someone's heart by blackmailing and harrassing. two lives had been lost through this love story and it was murder. how would a happy ever after in that context sounded? it would have been total indignity.
then, lets add society views and the kind of message it sends -- there was an article early in the drama where someone had asked the actress playing mehak if he should follow shamsher's strategy to win a girl. if the drama had ended on a happy ever after, a wrong message would have been telecast -- it is okay to harass a woman because eventually she is going to fall in love with you.
however, what actually happened here? shamsher had to break from his former prideful obnoxious self. he had to feel the weight of his actions and behaviour. he stopped putting pressure on mehak and instead kept a distance. it was only when he was respectful to mehak and gave her space that she was able to start trusting him little by little. he gained space in her heart after he won her trust.
for a short time, he lived with dignity and was content to be hard working. however, his past caught up with him. the writer is clearly showing that there are actions to consequences and no guilt or apology is going to protect you from those. so he had to pay for his past behaviours and those consequences with his own life to protect mehak.
was it love story? more like a cautionary tale -- a love that is stubborn and is about attaining someone like a doll will inevitably end in tragedy. yes, you can love but the way you do it is more important. the approach is key if you want a good love. otherwise, pay for the consequences. that is the point of this drama.
