Indu eps 1 well thought out. โญ๏ธ Yes there was not the tragedy of losing his maa, but there was the betrayl of his father, broken marriage of his Di, his uncles betrayl, turning them out of their ancestral home, the cornerstone to the making of ASR. Yes the young boy grew and by leaps and bounds, he was forced to, how terrifying it must have been. Yet all accolades to him. He emerged strong not only for himself but also his Di and also became the chief breadwinner of his maternal family. The more he was burnt by life the more he shone like gold, the sun, the dhoop...
I wonder sometime what was Dadi doing when her grandchildren were going through such a grave crisis. Why didnt she stop her son, their uncle from throwing them out on the streets? I am not sure if it was Nani that took them in or Mami, Mama. I could be wrong but I feel Arnav was more attached to Mami than Nani, and there was a reason for that. He said himself that mami had sold her jewellery for him.Sorry for the digression๐ณ what I wanted to say that I agree with you absolutely that both Arnav and Khushi were lonely inside, a permanent scar of the past had shaped their present life. Only their defense mechanisms were different as you say. Khushi in spite of her chirpiness could never share her innermost thoughts about Arnav with her Jiji. And Arnav he was openly the quiet withdrawn kind. Basically deep down their heart and soul had the same hurt. No wonder they found each other. Or DM ensured they did. The time for sukoon was here. And your poem reflects that so beautifully. Did he call? Did she seek? There was definitely something there, you cant see it but the feel was all over the first eps...in his arms! Lovely edits too Indu. Every bit you write and create is meanigful and connects so well! ๐ Thanks!
Ritu, much pleasing to read your views.
About that dadi, nani, mami role during arnav, anjali testing times, i wish we got to see that back story a bit when dadi was here, just a matter of shaping fine edges when all the clues were right infront.
ASR said when dadi was there that she left them that fateful day and went away to Ashram. she was too shocked and took care of only her own emotions but not the state of the two young kids. and left them to her other son who turned out a complete opportunist. There is no positive light left to be shed on her seems...
but I don't think asr loved mami more than nani. He did carry that immense gratitude for mami for being there for him at a crucial time but his respect for his nani is immense . Mami's maternal was not a very well to do family as reminded by nani many times when ever the former taunted Gupta sisters for their financial status, so guess the jewelry sold by mami for asr must have been passed to her from nani as the DIL of the Raizada family. But even then it is indeed a huge sacrifice on part of mami to sell off all the glitter that mattered to her a lot for the sake of her orphaned nephew. Kudos.
But nani was always shown to have the poise to take care of her loved ones and their emotions in times of need. If we think of it, her trauma of loosing her daughter and SIL is identical to dadi's but she seemed to have dealt with it much more maturedly giving the kids the support they needed in time of need.
As an adolescent, asr did learn a thing or two from nani while being at Raizada house as he frequently referred in his arguments with nani, like to have the ability to make decisions and be responsible for them once made..
He loved, respected that lady immense no doubt that he took pride in taking her last name... what did malliks give him anyway.. one royally cheated his wife, one left her grand kids to their own fate and the other thrown them onto the streets...Raizada he is..
digression.. digression...did i royally eat your head??๐.. thanks for reading / sharing your precious views ritu..
