After seeing the last two epis I just had to make this post! CVs I want to tell you just take a BOW!👏 For giving us this one ethereal character - Mrs Anandi Shivraj Shekhar 😳

A girl who was butchered brutally at the hands of a nasty societal stigma and malpractice - Child marriage.For the whole of her childhood she had to face the wrath of a scheming grand MIL who left no way to abuse and torment her - whether it was in the form of making her work laboriously and unjustly or denying her the basic right of education or verbal abuse and torture. And even the people who tried to support her didn't have much say in the house in front of the grand MIL.But still she found solace for herself in her supposed husband - a relationship whose intricacies she didn't understand - she was not in the age.She just thought of him as a friend in whom she could confide when the unkind dokri leashed her wrath on her.She went so much into that bond of friendship that she almost ended up giving her life for the friend by taking the bullet directed at him on herself.

But still the old lady was not satisfied and she on the pretext of finding a better partner for her Grandson tried to marry him to another child bride w/o the knowledge of Anandi.But somehow she managed to protect her wed-lock.Not bcoz she knew the meaning of this relationship but bcoz she couldn't stand her "best-friend" being someone else's.She just couldn't even bear the thought of it.And after protecting her besty from an almost death and a forced attempt of separation...she probably thought she has attached strings of a lifetime.And spent the next 5 years of her adolescence in weaving beautiful dreams of a lifetime with her husband cum best friend.An age when a girl understands the meaning of love and is both mentally and hormonally fertile to perceive such emotions...she just had one MAN in her mind - her confider Jagiya.

But unfortunately that was not case.If not death and forceful separation,the man walked out of the wed-lock himself blaming her of unworthiness and insufficiency.And there went all her trust in the so called relationship of marriage.She left no stone unturned to make herself worthy of him.But then came the biggest scar of her life.She was slowly coming to the age when her faculties had begun to understand the meaning of the bond of marriage and only then her husband gave her the biggest betrayal a married man can give his wife.Before she could understand what a beauty a married relationship can be...she got a taste of the most cruel...the most bitter part of it.And the once best friend left her forever with a blame that she was unworthy as a woman.

Still she stood up...made a life for herself.But particularly the part of her which was crushed by her husband never came to heal.Probably bcoz neither she herself not any1 else cud have healed.And then she got married to a man who loved her from the bottom of his heart.Who gave her all the happiness she truly deserves.She saw the genuineness in his eyes.And tried to give him all the possible happiness she could - by taking care of his family,his emotions and his needs.

Just there was one thing she couldn't give him - we know what. And there came ppl to bash her of her inability to be a good wife to such a "angelic" husband.But may I ask what is so angelic about him?That he married a tormented girl?Or he loves her despite of her fears and insecurities or that he u/stands his wife's pain and supports her to come out of them.Aren't these things expected out of a husband? Why people have to claim a MAN's normal behavior as something out of the box??

But still just as soon as she comes to see his goodness and his stance as a husband she is all aware of his pain.More than her own fears she thinks about him, his pain, his emotions.She blames herself for keeping him waiting despite the fact that his need/expectations is nowhere big enough in front of her fears which need immediate and compassionate handling.

For the first time she is getting to know what a HUSBAND really is.For the first time she is feeling what a marriage really is.And just one feel of it,and she is ready to introspect,try and fight with her fears.She is both aware and desirous to take her relationship with her husband to the next level.Aware bcoz she thinks abt it and desirous bcoz we have seen her getting attracted to him.Just that the wounds her monstrous ex husband gave her fear the hell out of her.If Shiv's trusts leaps her a step forward...the memories of the betrayal brings her down.But still she tries...tries to keep him happy...give him all what he needs and by almost forcing herself into a zone she is darn scared of - Just for HIM!

And seeing all this I would just say ...I want to thankyou cvs from the bottom of my heart.

- For giving us Anandi and making her behave like this post-wedding.Its a cruel reality that a tormented woman needs a lot of mental courage and healing to take her married relationship to the next level.She needs not just strength but spousal support too.

- For making Shiv doing all this as something really trivial.If every man of our society tries be a husband like SHiv...there will be no Ratans and No Gangas in our societies.

-And most of all thankyou cvs for giving us an introspecting anandi.An anandi who is slowly but steadily beginning to count on the love she has received this time.It shows that a woman can really love a second time and move on to be with a man who respects and loves her not a projected image of her. It is a hope to every woman that the day you meet the one meant for you ...you will for sure be out of the misery some unworthy men put you through.

Anandi ...her pains...her fears...it's a voice that what a man can make out of a woman.

But she trying to forget about her fears...trying to cope with them...feeling guilty abt them...its a voice that what a strength a woman can be.

THANKYOU CVs for giving us this beautiful hope, inspiration and idol figure - ANANDI!

Thankyou from the core of my heart! ❤️

Hi Malika,
Lovely post and indeed, the biggest blow a woman can get to her self-esteem is when someone tells her that she is no longer attractive or desirable as a partner. I have seen with my own eyes the havoc it creates in their lives and the complex they suffer through.
However successful we may be, in heart of hearts we surely want to be desired, be attractive and I think what is stopping Anandi at the moment is, if she goes in for intimacy, what if shiv does not find her desirable and leaves her.
I really want to thank the CVs for giving a beautiful handling of the post marriage relationships and how issue of lack of intimacy needs to be tackled sensitively. I know many cases in my family and friends circle only, where the issue of intimacy can rise from the man's side as well. So why cant a woman have her choice and space. It is not as if she is not trying. She is trying hard
Once again muku lovely and much awaited post👏👏

👏 What a beautiful post, summation and analysis Malika! I second your thanks - BV gives me a lot of pain and frustration sometimes, but only because I love it so much and because I care about these characters so deeply. It's the CV's genius in creating such lovely characters that made that possible. Anandi is not just a character for us, and more than fiction - she's a living, breathing human being and a representative of so many women's pain and so many of their aspirations.

The beauty of this post doesn't surprise me. 😊 You always have your finger on Anandi's emotional pulse.

And I second both you and Supriya ji on the point about expectations from men and women as well. The idea that women have some kind of obligation to give into men's desires whether they want to or not is artificial. In prepatriarchal times, women were worshipped for their power to create life, as priestesses and magicians of nature with full autonomy and independence. They chose how they used that power. It's time the backward notions of bending women's wills against their desires should be slowly left behind. Intimacy should be between two equally willing individuals who are happy to enter that relation. Shiv understands this and that's why he doesn't have expectations from her - he's willing to wait until his dying day if it takes that long, and he's content with her company and her presence in his life. That's what makes him so desirable and wonderful too. Bashing Anandi for Shiv's sake is actually a discredit to Shiv.

Seriously LOVED your post!!! I don't get the complaints that Anandi faces when she is working SO hard to heal herself so that she can be with her husband. It is NOT easy to heal emotional scars! Yes Shiv is a WONDERFUL human being, but STILL even if he does light up the darkness that was in her life, it still doesn't erase ALL her scars. Physical intimacy is out of her comfort zone, but STILL she tries her best by trying to find answers although even she is troubled as to why she can't completely give back her love even though she IS attracted to Shiv AND loves him!
COMPLETELY agree! I LOVE Anandi's character, esp as Anandi Shivraj Shekhar! I am thankful that CVs transformed her character, taking her and BV to another level.

What a wonderful post Muku!

You are on a roll since yesterday. And yes, Anandi is a woman to be looked up to...

If half of us had her patience, the world would be a better place.

Malika, what a beautiful thank you to ths cvs!!!! they shld be greatfull & thankfull to you too!!!

But what i dont understand is why they do all this & then make the same anandi take ten steps behind?😕 When ll they ever let her live that new happy life she has found? I dont think that they ll ever let her!!!!😔 Infact i think they find happiness in seeing her miserable & in tears😭
Just in the last few episodes, she was coming out of her shell. And now they thought it was the right time to put ganga infront of her in order to get her demons back into her face. So that she can only focus on them than the husband she had just started to desire, to feel free with, smile with, get tensed when he is tensed, etc...

Well, they ve spoiled the whole thing, they ve decided that anandi ll be, ll always & ll stay a victim. And to put the cherry on the cake, they have made Shiv too a victim of loving & marrying a devorcee.

Nway if i also have to say thank you for these, then thank you cvs for giving us false hopes & false messages.
