Monaya Diwali segment

5 Nov 2010

If there was any doubt left that Mohit Sehgal and Sanaya Irani are a couple in real life, this segment just vanquished all of them. One of the sweetest real life segments I have seen - Sanaya decorating Mohit's home for Diwali - extremely beautifully and tastefully - this girl really has class! Beautifuly done, right from the doorway, to the rangolis with diyas, candles - I have a weakness for candles and these were all beautiful! Loved the glass door leading onto the balcony - again beautiful. And what was even more beautiful was the way the couple performed the aarti and prayed together - very, very touching and sweet - truly a made-for-each-other couple if ever there was one. What is even sweeter is that they are not a fictional couple, enacting lines written for them - they are real, true to life and as beautiful as the couple they portray on screen, although in reverse. Here Sanaya is the bubblier, perkier one, and Mohit the quieter one, but in the things that truly matter, feelings for home and loved ones, they seem to be perfectly matched.

And Sanaya herself is class personified - beauty, elegance and grace - together with a tadka of naughty! Her dress sense is impeccable - I said that before for Western dresses, today she proved it for Indian outfits as well - color coordinated and accessorized beautifully, and I am totally in love with her earrings! Gorgeous Gunjan, Stunning Sanaya ... whichever avatar she dons, she's perfect!

The song chosen for the bg music ... jashne-bahara ... just perfect! Beautiful, romantic ...

The last bit on the swing ... when Mohit obviously thought the camera was already off, was utterly butterly cute! God bless this couple - have never felt so fond of a telly couple and their real life selves as I do of these two.
