I Don't Get It!

Annika is portrayed as an intelligent, independent, bindass type woman who has had to fend for herself in the big bad world almost all her life.

That means you will never understand their love story

Yet at the 1st sign of danger in her house she calls SSO instead of sending an SOS to the local coppers.

Doesn't quite sit right for me.

Her slow but sure reliance on Billu-ji aka Shivaay (as of last night) emotionally is comprehensible but, being vulnerable physically and being willing (albeit instinctively) to expose that vulnerability to SSO is, a little too much too soon, I fear.

I think she called SSO instead of the police because he is slowly becoming the most important person in her life. This is why she called. Like when we are scared, we think of the person we love the most at first thought. I think that is exactly what the wanted to show. Being Independent and strong has nothing to do with this.

But that's just my opinion!

Hope you don't mind my opposition dear! :)

I would call a neighbour rather than police. Police is called later to report the incident if it persists, certainly not for immediate help.

Strong, Intellegent, Independent persons too need someone when they are scared emotionally or physically. And Anika called Shivay bcoz unknowningly he has become the most imp person of her life. If someone is alone it doesn't mean they don't need a partner! Everyone needs a person with whom u can fight, u can rely on, u care, u can trust and Anika is having one. They trust each other.
That's why Anika called him when she was in need!
When we are scared we need some emotiona support, not police investigation.
If I were Anika I would have done the same.
It's just my POV! No offense. :)

Let me tell you something. Where I live, the police are not exactly sitting by the phone, waiting for me to call them when I hear a stranger shuffling around in my living room. If that happens, I run to the window, screaming bloody murder. Then I hide, grab my phone and call the biggest baddest male of my acquaintance, the one guy I trust. The one I KNOW will come to me. The one who will rush to find out if that sound outside my bedroom is a rapist bent on murder, or my pet cat Mr. Tinkles.

I honestly don't know my local police station's number, we folks here in India/ Bangladesh/ Pakistan do NOT have that reliance on the police you guys in the west with the 999 and 911 emergency response teams have. I watch TV shows where the cops show up in 2 minutes half disbelievingly, half longingly, at the trust people have in law enforcement.

When things go bump in the night, here, we scream through the window, then we call our loved ones, and we wait. Sometimes the police come half an hour later, sometimes they don't. Especially in the locality they are showing Anika lives in, the chances of her calling the police and getting them to show up before her corpse is stone cold is basically nil. Our neighbors show up, and so do our men. And we make sure, our instincts make sure, that we call THAT ONE person we know is our port in every storm, who will come to our rescue, no matter what, no matter when.

The fact his is the number she dialed is both the most realistic move, and at the same time the biggest romantic gesture Anika could have made last night.
