Okay, you know the rules...and if you dont like Siddhima, then it's simple, dont read 😆
So after a long time we finally got Sid to see the truth that is his wife. There he stood watching silently as his wife cried her eyes out over a picture he thought was her ex. And what did he do? Nothing. He had every right to run over there and yank the picture and tear it up into pieces and demand that his wife be faithful in every way. But that's not Sid. Instead he keeps his pain and hurt barreled inside and stands by silently. He admits to himself that his wife may not have moved on in her heart as he had hoped. But he doesn't say it out of anger nor out of disgust. He is simply stating to himself what simply is. Sid doesn't blame Ridz for feeling the way she does, he knows that she loved Armaan with her whole heart and that moving on from Armaan to him was the biggest challenge Ridz has had to face. So no he doesn't demand reassurance or comfort from his wife, even though he deserves the right to do so, instead he simply stands as a guardian on the sideline ready to run if she needs him. And if she doesn't then he will simply melt to the background and let her continue.
As for Ridz, well as I have said countless times the CVs refuse to show the audience what is going on inside this woman's head. To them it is much more intriguing to keep her thoughts a secret then to make it easier for all to understand what she is feeling and why. Well I think today, at least to me, the Ridz we saw was something that was needed for all. You see a crying Ridz after the harsh words Armaan had spoken to her is what any woman would do. She already felt guilty for being able to move on while her ex was stuck in a past that could never be, but to have him straight out say it out loud that even he blamed her. Well, that was like a knife straight to the heart. You see Ridz never meant to move on in life, and she certainly never thought her life would have to be separate from Armaan. She even resisted when Armaan left her and told her to move on in life. But then destiny stepped in, in the form of Sid, and she had no choice but to move forward. And now that she had finally moved forward and is actually happy with her present and excited about her future, her past is self destructing and it pains her to see it. See that's life. Sometimes we get exactly what we hope for, and then there are other times where nothing we want comes true for us. I must say for Ridz a lot of the latter has been true until lately.
Now as to why I think this scene was needed it is actually quite simple. For once we see Ridz crying tears over something Armaan said, but it's not because the words he said reminded her of her loss or the fact that Armaan isn't hers. It's because she is unable to be happy in her life right now. For that is the kind of person Ridz is. Her heart is big and generous and although initially it is virtually impossible to gain entrance into it. Once you have, you are there forever. Oh sure, your title or how big a piece of it you own may change, but there is no doubt that a part of it is yours, forever. What I must say is that today, for once the sadness and pain Ridz was enduring was not left uncomforted. Finally, she was able to take comfort in her one truth. She held something in her hands that has now become her whole world, her marriage, her husband, her Sid. See although she may not say it, and although at times it seems as thought Sid is simply a blip on her radar. The truth is Sid is her world. He is the one she looks for when she enters a room, he is the one she calls when people she loves are in trouble, he is the one (even in picture form) that she cries on when she is hurt. Today, we got to see Mrs. Riddhima Modi seek comfort in the one relationship that has never let her down, her marriage.
As for Sid finally seeing the truth, I am so glad he got to see that the picture his wife was clutching with the jaws of life was in fact a picture of the beginning of their relationship, and not a picture of her past. That she was shedding tears because she wasn't sure how to be happy without feeling guilty at the same time. Once again, Sid the mature man that he is inside immediately recognized the strength that Ridz must have inside in order to continue to face the barbs her ex threw at her. To face the fairytale prince that was supposed to be hers and return home with the man that is hers. To accept the hurt and pain hurled at her so that her ex may feel a little bit better so that he too could move forward. Sid when he watched Ridz sleep acknowledges the confidence and contentment he felt with his Riddhima. Sid knows. He knows that Riddhima is his for all of eternity and that nothing can take her away from him and the confidence he has in her and their relationship becomes abundantly clear with the way he continues to help her out with Armaan and allows her spill her doubts about Shilpa and Armaan's relationship. He knows that the reason Ridz wants to help Armaan is because she cares for him. No she's not in love him, but neither will she ever stop loving him and he gives her his support without question.
See Sid is a silent warrior. He will standby and watch the world around him crash and do nothing as long as the ones he loves are happy. But the second one of the people he loves gets hurt or is hurting, then he will take on the whole world and not give one hoot about who or what he must fight. And that is exactly what is headed our way next. I for one am extremely glad that Sid will take action after seeing the pain Armaan is causing not only himself and Riddhima, but Shilpa too. Sid is going to finally lay it all out for Armaan and show him how what he is doing is not only hurting himself, but that his actions impact everyone. Isnt this what Sid is best at? Opening the eyes of those drowning in sorrow of lost love? I mean just go back to the poison fiasco where Ridz was willing to give up her life because as far as she was concerned it was worth nothing. The only one who was able to open her eyes and make her realize that her life was not hers alone. That her life was joined with many others and that life was not something you threw away because things didn't work out the way you wanted it to, but that it was a gift that you are supposed to embrace and nurture and make the best of. I think it is time for Armaan to here this pep talk of Sid's, and I can only hope he will get through to him. For as he says in the precap, his life is inevitably joined with Armaan's and no matter how he wishes it wasn't, there is nothing he can do. So he's going to stand up and protect his wife from the continous hurt and guilt Armaan continues to hurl at her.
So I leave with this, although lately this show has been driving me nuts with the rumors, and random promos. I must say that it is scenes like this that make me come back again and again. Even though this scene was only a few minutes long the underlying message in it was so deep. It depicted the silent strength of husband for his wife. Siddhant Modi, your wife was right. Every girl deserves to have a husband like you😍.
