Scene Explained - Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna - First encounter of Dev & Maya




Scene Explained:-
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)

**********

18th March 2002. It was the day when Dev & Maya met for the very first time. Maya was about to get married to Rishi. Dev and Maya had a small talk and both of them instantly felt connected. 

Maya was confused about whether she loved Rishi or not. She felt that sometimes friendship replaces love and then there remains no space for love. Maya knew Rishi since childhood, they were good friends. But Maya didn't love him, of course, she didn't know at that time. She eventually got married to Rishi.

Dev was married to Rhea. They both were settled in life but not happy together. It was the day when Dev also realised that probably his love for Rhea has changed. He didn't answer properly when Maya asked if he loved his wife. Because he was as confused as Maya.

Maya was trying to find love for years. But that love wasn't Rishi. She was sitting on that bench and thinking how her life would turn out in future. Dev advised her to find love even after marriage. He said, if she won't look for it, she won't find it. Probably Dev was also assuring himself about the same thing. He was also looking for love. That love was Maya.

They both didn't know the particular thing at that moment. But both of them felt something deep inside. As Rishi was putting sindoor in Maya's maang, at the same moment, Dev had an accident and blood was flowing from the wound to his face. Dev narrated the incident beautifully by saying that time can heal anything, but in few relationships, some wounds get deepen as time passes.
