I have been seeing posts as to how the character of Shivraj Shekhar should have been given more flesh and form and how little we know of his childhood and family.How more detailing about his professional life and fis family is needed to make the character more complete.

I thought I would try and figure out what his life was like till the time he met Anandi from what they have shown till now.

He seems like somebody who had a fairly comfortable trouble free life till now which included a happy and secure childhood days of carefree youth good education childhood and yout filled packed with activities which most of the children and young adults lives seem to be filled with sports, spending time with friends going on holidays all these things made possiible by his loving family which has given him love comfort and security.
He seems have done well in academics in school and college.And has managed to get academic qualifications from the western world
He himself has told that he was in the college football team.


He has a doting mother and an aunt who not only loves and cares for him more than his mother does but cares for him more than she cares for his son.A father who is very proud of him and absloutely trusts his son'judgement in matters concerning his own life.The kind of confidence this father has in his son can come only from the way he brought up his son.He knows his son imbibed his values that he stands for.So that tells how his father brought him up.
And of course the doting grand father who takes pride in his eldest grandson.The apple of his eye.His love did not turn him into a spoilt brat.
His younger sister who thinks the world of her brother and it is pretty obvious that she is spoilt rotten by her doting older brother who call her his doll.
For his younger brother he is role model.

As for the kind of person that he is despite receiving so much in life he has not turned into a spoilt brat.He doesn't have the feeling of entitlement.

He went abroad for higher studies buts stayed true to his roots.The fact that he is called Desi boy by his friends tells how all things Indian matter to him.He came back to India to serve the rural India who has dreams and aspirations of making his country a better place to live.

He makes his own decisions about the things that concern his life.But at the same time it is important that his family be comfortable with his decisions.

On the professional front it was obvious from what they have shown that he is a very efficient and honest upright government officer from what they have show so far that he is the CM's favourite officer.His capabilities are well recognised and appreciated his upright nature is applauded.

I think the CVs have given us a complete picture of him starting from his childhood till now.

They have shown us the kind of officer he is through his interactions with CM, Heth Singh and Anandi.

They have shown his childhood life through his interactions with his family members.

They have shown us about his dreams and aspirations including the kind of life partner he wanted through interactions with his friend Ashima

And most importantly his relationship with Anandi and through his perception of Anandi they are showing what kind of a man he is.

He is in awe of the person who used the darkness and shadows in her life as the motivation to bring light into other people's life.In her he sees a better image of himself.That tells us so much about him.

He fell in love with her on seeing her capacity to love and her strength which did not allow her to become bitter and disillusioned about life despite the way it treated her.

This is what I have gathered about the life and character of Shivraj Shekhar from what they have shown.I do not know how complete or incomplete this picture is.

Your thoughts are welcome.

I dont think...childhood n upbringing scenes are needed for shiv
if he wud have a bitter...painful past then flashback scenes or his past life scenes will b understandable...
Till now...i am happy with waving of shiv's track...from his entry to now
cvs show his nature 1st...then his surrounding...his family...diff layers till now...its good

Beautiful post Apy! 👍🏼

Agree to all what you said.The fact that he fell for Anandi indeed is a thing big enough to get an insight into his personality.There are parents in this world who not just shower their kids with "love and care" but simultaneously keep them grounded by telling them how the life of a person can turn miserable if that love goes missing.The Shekhars just did that to Shiv.Unlike dadisa who always showered Jagiya with unconditional love w/o ever making him realize that one day if you are not able to keep up with the sense of responsibility that comes up with all this love, you will be lost and scarred.Everytime Bhairon or Sumitra tried to make their son realize that he was on a wrong path,he was backed by the false belief that whatever he may do he will always have someone to love,nurture and pamper him.

And this is where the Shekhars scored over the Singhs.They probably brought up their son with ideologies and analogies.With reasoning and introspection.They didn't just pamper him but kept him updated with the pain if someday that parental pampering vanishes into thin air.

From there came the "compassion" which the man manifests with such zeal.And from there came his tendency to very easily fall for a girl like Anandi.Coz she practiced the same compassion as he did but sans the pampering.Sans the love.Her condition reminded him of his own family's ideologies.He was a man who got love and gave love.But here was a woman who gave love but didn't get her deserved share.And that's exactly from where came his urge to give her every happiness she deserves.

I think for me this much is more than sufficient to form a view abt his character.But probably ppl are not satisfied because they don't find an inch of bitterness within him.They find it unrealistic and impractical. But believe me such men can be there.I know coz of I have seen them in flesh and blood!

Beautifully said. 😊 I don't know which other posts you meant other than mine, but I clarified on my thread that I don't mean that Shiv isn't fleshed out. I think the opposite- he's one of those rare characters who walked onto the page/screen fully formed. But what I was talking about was Anandi finding out more details about him - as in we see him pay enormous amounts of attention to Anandi, which speaks volumes about his character. The fact that he was able to see a diamond in the rough. But as these two live together now, I'm sure they would have conversations in which he would share details of his pre-Jaitsar life, just like anyone would in real life. That's all I was asking for, and I simply meant it as a counterpoint, derived from the great way episodes worked when Shiv was finding things out about Anandi. Besides, she does only know him like 4/10. 😛 I meant details, not unhidden twists. I know there's nothing in his past that will come as a big shock, we know the large broad arcs. But God is in the details, as they say.

@Bold- The key is there.They started living to live together and they will get to know each other.

As for him he knows so any things about her because he has fallen in love with her.He was attracted to her as he got know more about he fell in love with her and decided to go ahead and marry her because he was sure that he will get her love.Because he knew her thta well. She didn't ever tell him what she went through when J abandoned her but he knew it because he is in love with her and he managed to figure out what she went through.

For her she is not there yet.She needs to live with him share his life to fall in love with him.She is getting there.For her slowly he is becoming the most important in her life.What he thinks what his opinion is matter to her a lot more than anyone else.The fact that she is unable to give him happiness is what keeps her up in the night.The day when she realises that his happiness is her happiness is when she is the day she realises her love.
When love is in place her getting to know about him will happen automatically.She will surprise him by letting him know how much she loves him.
