She is overcoming her inner demons slowly and it is not something that is in your face like Shivaay's, it is more subtle...I am sure there are many more instances;angel_nonu had a beautiful thread about it on twitter sometime back!

this def and yes a lot more, but i still yearn to see glimpses of her working on herself for herself. i guess we will not get to see that as oh indian tv and norms associated with it 😉

Yup! And a sense of fulfillment and belonging. Was seeing an old episode yesterday when Anika has this pang when she sees the oberois and calls them a khidkitod family. She might still rue her childhood but she has a loving family forever now:) A place she calls home. A loving husband who is also her best friend and whom she has adventures with😳😆 Elders like Dadi to guide her, brothers like OmRu.

I think her fortitude has also grown. She also knows now how it is to be loved unconditionally...which she has never known before. Ya I see how she is a little insecure now but we all have days when we get the blues🤣

obviously amri jumps to the rescue when u cant form coherent thoughts. she has grown leaps and bounds for sure and knows her place and knows how much she is loved. she has also become more confident with time but my point stands that her character is not given the focus it deserves.

and having insecurities is not wrong amri - the point of the post was diff from just whats going on in this track unless i read it all wrong 😉

Also, during that episode with Suman's shaadi, Annika tells Gauri that she never changed herself because she believes herself to be Shivaay's equal! I think this answers all the questions about her 'bettering' herself! She is confident in herself and proud of being who she is and Shivaay respects her for who she is and respects her for being unapologetically herself! So why would she try to change herself outwardly? The only two people who matter are pretty proud of who she is already - herself and her husband!

As for her working, it will never be shown in a desi show! FL of a show never works and that's a sad truth😆

agreed but who says if you are confident - you dont need to improve yourself and work on yourself? isnt that sending a wrong message out there, anika does need to work on a few things and there is nothing wrong with it - that makes her human. saying she doesnt and should not does. my point is didnt she have dreams of having her own catering business? how did the writers forget that

and yes, working part in desi shows - agreed not happening a bitter pill we have to swallow i guess 😆

@darkphoenix - u make amazing points - sorry dont know ur name hun but i wished that there was one desi show where the girl had her own dreams intact too after her marriage and for me anika was def that character. but yes as ym points out below - she was sacrificed to some extent along the way 😕

I feel like Anika's personality was sacrificed somewhere to make time for Shivaay's growth, which makes sense since he had more issues he needed to shed. TRPs seemed to have a played a huge role in the stagnation in her development because she has to be the perfect biwi, behen, and bahu for the TRP audience to root for her. Sad, but harsh reality is TRP have butchered so many characters on the show at one point or another. However, I do appreciate the childlike reverence in regards to Shivaay because I wouldn't exactly call it worship. To me, she seems like a child wanting to belong, to be loved, to be appreciated, but is too afraid to even hope for it. SC does an amazing job with this aspect of her personality. Anika still has her identity because of this childlike innocence. I would love to see her strengths being highlighted and not her insecurities in the future tracks.

Sadly, I think the writers dropped the ball with all the female characters development and growth. Jhavni enables all of Tej's evil actions and forgives him instantly. We have seen what happened to the insecure, but kind at heart Pinky. Daadi has no say in her family and often disregarded by her own sons. Anika seems to either be biwi #1 saving Shivaay from vamps or sad over her randomly brought up insecurities. Gauri hero worshiped Om and using internet doesn't make her independent. I was really looking forward to ACP Bhavya, but her profession literally revolved around Rudra and him being the hero to save her. So yeah, everything always goes back to the ML. Don't get me wrong, I love the brothers, but these woman have no other life than these men, which is disappointing to watch at times. I have zero expectations, but I hope your right and Anika gets her chance to showcase her side of the story, her struggles, and her growth. I really hope the same of the other FLs as well.

Word to everything you said...especially bold.

The writers have set up this limited framework where everything revolves around the hot and happening Oberoi brothers...I love them but they do preen around a little too much for their own good. 😆

I think a major factor is that all the heroines are orphans...so we don't get to see them in other roles and relationships, except Sahil and Gauri's mom I guess. It limits the scope in many ways. Also the fact that the scope of Indian TV itself is quite limited when it comes to showing women working. Just doesn't bode well for TRP.😆

I do like how Anika distinguishes herself in this limited framework though. I think she has managed to retain her individual traits and that for me is commendable.

@bold sums it all up! every female character is sacrificed - look at bhavya dressed up and all celebrating diwali when technically she is just his security. if she can be part of lfazoon ka rishta song, why cant khanna be there 🤣🤣🤣🤣

so yes, female character ki toh vaattt lagayi hai khud ek female writer ne. anika forgets about her nightmares, as per convenience she starts having them again - so many inconsistencies and so many issues along the way 😆

but yes, anika is still extremely charming as a character and i do enjoy her child like feeling of belonging to shivaay but i do want to see some focus on her - i guess we are all saying the same thing in diff ways!

anyways, good discussion guys 👏

sorry meri jaan butting in but harneet ka concept of hot is very different from mine - re bold 🤣 🤣 🤣 so yes i legit had to laugh out loud

there is not even a single show that has survived with a strong working women? seriously

true that but how sad it is still
