• Hushed conversations at midnight, sleepy faces, hoarse morning voices, swollen eyes and nightwear.
The intimacy that resides in this is something I’m sure all couples can relate to. It takes a lot of trust in someone to be at your most vulnerable state in front -
- of them. You have to be comfortable enough to be willing to share yourself in your least glamorous, unfiltered and raw state. It comes with the knowledge that they will never judge you or use something you say that you normally wouldn’t without the covering of the night. Those-
- exchanges will always only be known by them, those 4 walls, the night, the stars and God. That sacred feeling of being 100% at ease with someone is a rarity they had the privilege to experience.
• Chappals
Chappals pehen na everywhere, even to shoots. These two give serious Mummy-Papa vibes sometimes. Tabhi to hum kehte he inki feeling alag he. Apne lagte hein hume, Inhi aadaton ki wajah se. They are so simple, just like regular people but famous. They never once -
- exuded cold, celebrity energy. Always down to earth and humble. Ordinary yet extraordinary in the best way possible. Their Chappals make it easier for me to connect with them, even if I sound silly saying it. It’s a little thing, so mundane but it is precious.
• Shukla G ka darrna,in a positive way,just like all husbands are afraid of biwi ka gussa & hurt hona.
It was so comical to watch him stumble over his words when SK asked for explanations,but it showed that he cared so deeply about her feelings.He couldn’t stand her Narazgi.
• The haq. Haq se daantna, guide karna aur samjhana.
The way they would scold each other, try to show them where they were going wrong, so that they wouldn’t make a wrong decision or take a wrong step with so much haq. Never once did they complain about this or the way they -
- went about it. Instead, they appreciated it. They were the only ones who truly wanted the best for each other in that house. They accepted and trusted that they were only trying to suggest the best things to one another. They gave each other that haq,despite only knowing each -
- other for such a short amount of time. It’s why it’s so laughable to me that some people are offended by that. They had no issue with it.
• Calming each other down when they’re angry,overwhelmed or upset.
Be it breaking down in front of each other, wiping the other’s tears -
- , soothing the other’s anger with gentle touches and subtle words, the way they were so in sync with the other’s feelings, it’s something people dream of having. All that was running through their minds would probably be how they could fix it, not even realising they knew -
exactly how to do it. It shocked them when it finally hit them how deep they were in later.
• Massages, Champis, helping each other out with chores, staying up and taking care of the other when they were sick.
They might have complained about it when asked to, and pretended -
- to do it begrudgingly, but their doing exactly as asked proved they felt different. Cleaning up together, chopping vegetables for dinner together, Shukla G making Sana tea, Sana fetching him water,or carrying his items from the captain room to their own.Their iconic champi, -
- Shehnaaz getting up repetitively all night to massage his legs when he was in pain, Sidharth wanting her close when he was sick and her giving him that, Sidharth pressing her hands when they hurt, not wanting to aggravate her pain. They cared so much for the other’s needs.
• Possessiveness, the need for their attention and time, not wanting to see them with anyone else, cute, indirect confessions in the heat of the moment.
This is all the amusing and confusing part of a relationship. When you don’t know why you feel like you have a claim over -
- that person,and you try to control it,but you find it hard to and end up a little grumpy. It’s so cute, and the sentiments behind it even cuter. Like a baby not wanting its mum to hold another baby. It surprises you but love makes you do crazy things, things you normally don’t.
• Roothna Manana and resolving all fights as soon as possible
Every couple has arguments. A relationship consists of 2 people. 2 people with different upbringings, different beliefs, different opinions and different perspectives and ways of doing things. This leads to -
- disagreements. Sometimes it can be something as silly as jaan booj ke unko naraz karna for the fun of it,playfully, other times a result of hurting them with your actions, knowingly or unknowingly. Both are normal in relationships as long as they’re dealt with healthily. They-
- can make or break your bond and in SidNaaz’s case it always strengthened it because they never let it get in the middle of them. They knew the importance of their relationship and valued it. It was worth it all. The tears, the fear, the anger, the vulnerability, the jealousy, -
- the possessiveness. It’s all part of a relationship. We are humans. We feel. That’s the beauty of relationships like this. The coming together of all emotions, negative and positive to produce a beautiful love, like paints mixing together on a canvas to form a masterpiece. At -
- the end of the day,you choose your partner. You choose love. You can’t forget the endless happy moments because of a few bad ones. They never did. They chose each other. Again and again and again. They made up as quickly as they could. Because they couldn’t fall asleep without-
- being in each other’s arms either.
• Becoming huge parts of each other’s family
With accepting one another comes accepting everything about each other. That includes the people who birthed you and raised you, the people you call your own, the people who are part of your -
- world.The people you call family. It’s such an admirable thing to witness.Two people so in love,their union bringing about the union of people who were strangers before,but become important to them too.Both their worlds expand a little, bringing in new people and merging into -
- one. And their families are the kindest, sweetest people ever. Their religious and cultural beliefs were so different yet that never was a hindrance in their relationship.From their height difference to their language difference,nothing bothered them. It’s something the world-
- could use a little more of. The way their families are together in happiness and grief. They’ve created a lifelong, unbreakable bond.
• Acts of affection
Soft caresses,fixing the other’s hair,gentle cuddles,quiet murmurs,wide smiles,forehead kisses, cheek kisses, pinching -
-their nose fondly,squeezing the other’s cheeks, endearing nicknames, lipstick stains, eating from one plate, sharing food, preferring to see them bare faced and without makeup, spending hours together and enjoying every second and still wanting more, having fun together,playing-
- around together, inside jokes which no one else understands, limited PDA (which my mumma says is the reason why she likes them: “decent lagte hein mujhe 😂❤️”) because they kept private everything that should have been private and that they wanted to keep for themselves-
-,I like you and I love yous, confessions,tareef karna and karwana.They were always in their own bubble,their own little world that they handcrafted themselves,that they nurtured and grew so beautifully that humare liye wo Ek misaal ban chuke hein,Ek standard jo hum apne liye set
- kar rahe hein so we can have a love like theirs.
Kyunke SidNaaz Ek tag nahi hein, they are everything. All the good in the world stuffed inside two souls so interconnected, there’s no way they can’t be soulmates. Two people I treasure like they are my own. Two people I look -
- up to so much. Two people who give me the strength to hold on during the bad days. Two people who touched my heart in ways no one has.
You are our family @ishehnaaz_gill and @sidharth_shukla . And ye family? Boht strong he, Kabhi kahin nahi jaaye gi. You won our loyalty -
-, humara sath, our love. And you’ll have it forever.
SNSHAKHAHR ❤️

Grief is such a strange thing. You think you’re doing okay, maybe you’re getting better, and then it hits you out of nowhere and you’re spiralling downwards again. It’s a constant cycle of breaking, then picking up your broken pieces, joining them together by yourself because -
- no one else will fix your broken heart for you. No one has the remedy for the pain your incomplete dreams or your now unattainable wishes cause. The place in your heart, mind and soul reserved for them is still reserved for them, but they’re not there. You can’t see them; you -
- long for a mere conversation, for a glimpse of their smile that you love so much, for a look at their face, for anything. You just want them back and there’s nothing you can do to change the fact that they’re not here for you to talk to, to look at, to touch. Life without them-
When I was younger, I would watch Disney movies all the time. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast. I would watch them, and rewatch them again and again. The princesses were always /1
so pretty, so kind and caring, and they were even able to talk to animals. They’d eventually fall in love and find a prince and live happily ever after. As I got older, I realised that there’s much more to life than Disney movies and these conventions only occur in films. /2
And so I grew out of my Disney movie obsession. It was too unrealistic for me to be into anymore, not to mention how uncool it was seen as by the time you reach a certain age. Fate seemed to have other plans though, because I witnessed a love story just as magical, /3
He never willingly would have gone. He never would put his mother through that, never. He always wanted her to be healthy, happy, proud and strong. In front of her, he was just a small bacha. They never deserved this. Meri Ek tayi ammi hein, unke bete ki death Ho gayi thi -
- when he was 30 years old, in a foreign country and his friends brought his body home. Wo aaj tak intezaar Karti hein apne bete ka. Abhi tak accept ni kiya, apne aap ko ye dilaasa deti hein ke wo abhi b pardes hein, bas aa jayen ge Kuch waqt me. Unko ye cheez boht dukh deti he-
-, unki sehat boht kharab rehti he lekin wo wait karti hein. Wo nahi maanti ke wo nahi hein. Maa ka dil he na? Ese kese maan jaye. Wo unke laadle the, ghar me sab se chote bhai. Maa ka pyaar Kabhi khatam nahi Hota. Itne dard se kisi ke liye -
I promised myself not to be negative but I’ve been breaking a lot of promises to myself recently. He was, is the centre of her world. Her eyes in the pictures we saw today - I just feel like a huge change has occurred in her. And it’s heartbreaking. She’s strong for Di’s and -
- Shehnaaz and her family, but unke dil ka haal kon jaane? Sidharth itna pampered bacha he ke wo usska kaam hamesha karti thi, even when he grew up. Uss ki shararat, uss ki baatein, uss ki awaaz me “Maa” sunna, uss ke liye sab Kuch karna. Wo sab unke Dimag me 24/7 chalta hoga.
Aaj lakhon log unko Maa bula rahe he aur haan hum dil se b bula rahen he; lekin jis Ek insaan se wo ye sunna chahti hein, uss insaan ki awaaz ke liye unhe itna Tadap na par raha Ho ga. We know what Sidharth is like. He and his sisters probably plan the best day for her on her -
Maa. Mumma. Ammi. Amma. Mom. Mum. Mummy. Mama. This one word has so many alterations in all different languages but in every child’s life, the value of their mother is beyond understanding. And then there is our beloved Rita Aunty, who so many of
us fondly refer to as Rita Maa. This woman is an Iron Lady. She is made of a special kind of mitti. She faces the hardest problems in life with her head held high, with dignity, elegance, courage and so so much strength. All 3 of her children are such eloquent, matured, dignified
and intelligent people. She raised them so so well and that’s how we see she’s done her job right. She is a wonderful mother; we know because Sidharth always voices his appreciation for her. Fearlessly voicing your incredible opinions, crafting well spoken arguments, standing up
