I'm confused as to why fans think the Oberios are innocent? Isn't Roop an Oberoi? Doesn't that make her his family. I wouldn't be shocked if Roop suddenly becomes an adopted child in an attempt by CVS to the absolve them of their sins lol.

His parents didn't murder the foreman so that makes them innocent, but what about their silence and benefiting off all those innocent people's deaths? I don't understand that logic. They are equally responsible for what happened to Anika and Gauri. Even if the Oberois didn't start the fire that doesn't change the fact that Anika had a horrible life. Gauri was lucky to be adopted by a nice woman who loved her, but Anika was all alone and mistreated. I'm not expecting any of that to be addressed because Shivaay will find Anika's Chukti and be the hero. Anika (and Gauri if the CVS remember she exists) will forgive them then onto the next song and dance number in matching clothes 😆

Honestly, I like the fact that Anika lives in the present, but the normal reaction would be to be traumatized. It is her dad that was murdered and framed then the people she considers family reaped the benefits of his demise. Will she have a moment to be upset or hurt? I doubt it. She will be the dutiful bahu and believe in the Oberois lol. Anika doesn't have to walk out or divorce Shivaay for it have an impact. She could just a normal reaction to the situation. It's shame it will be glossed over because SC does the emotional scenes really well.

I like reading all theories here and on social media, but at the end of the day nothing will matter. There is too much expectations, but it always ends the same. After the mess the vanvaas track(the entire backbone of the show) turned into I'm not expecting much. Lower your expectations people 😆

Edit.

This wasn't a comparison post about who suffered more, but oddly enough every post somehow turns into one lol. From the beginning with the nightmares and flashbacks the CVS highlighted Anika's suffering. In DBO, Gauri had a crappy life as well I never said she didn't, but she had a mother. I thought the mom was nice for what little we saw her. I never said one suffered more than the other.

In DBO, Gauri was also adopted as a baby then she was the other half a photo with two young girls, which makes no sense. The lack of consistency and the ludicrousness of the Oberois getting away with everything even murder was the whole point of the post, but it's cool I did enjoy the recaps of shows I have already watched.

Amazing Post dear...👏

Had dumped my expectations on KM Raaz down the drains after they stretched it so much starting from the Abhay track...

But the intriguing episodes of the past week has brought my expectations n excitement back online...need to pipe down my hopes once again...😆

Hope they don't make tai tai pis of it this time...😆

Now back to the drama happening around...Even I want Annika to be naraz to Oberoi family...She lost her father because of Roop...upar se the banner of being the kid of a criminal...which would make the life of his kids a living hell...

Even worse than the lives of an orphan, or illegitimate...Always judged and humiliated..

Would love to see them show Annika's past...And want Annika to have a realistic response to this ...

Okay nothing against this post, and well I'm not really watching the show, so who cares? 😆

But I hate this presumption that Gauri had a better life than Anika. 🥱

We HAVE NOT SEEN Gauri's side of the story. We CAN ONLY MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.

As for loving mother, lol, her mother is the most annoying character. Its Gauri who brought up her mother and not vice-versa. I dunno how many people have seen DBO. But I have seen both IB and DBO, so let me say that Sahil is much, much, much more sensible and a better family member than Gauri's mother can ever be (Sahil in fact, is more sensible and mature than the whole of Oberoi family).

As for adoptive family, so lol. I know Sundari Bua was pretty bad and bullied and tortured Anika a lot. I have seen those scenes.

But Gauri's chaachi and chaachi ACTUALLY, IN CANON, sold her off for money to Kali Thakur. That makes them just as bad as Sundari Bua, if not more. 🤢

Gauri has had quite a traumatic past. Just being adopted by her mother, did not change that. Her mother who never once asked her whether she is happy. No, all she cared about was "damaadji". I would say that Shivaay and Anika care more about Gauri than her own mother.

Yes, Gauri's mother cared loved her, but it was she who would always put in stupid ideas about matrimony and husband worship in Gauri's head. If she cared about Gauri, then she would have asked why Gauri dumped Om and came back to Bareilly. But no, it was again, why is Gauri not going back with Om. 🤢

Maaji ek baar pooch toh lo aapke "damaadji" ne kya kya atyachaar kiye hai. 😡

Anyways, can we please stop comparing who suffered more? Just because Gauri's suffering as a child was not shown in DBO or IB, it does not mean that she did not suffer. There were enough clues that Gauri had to work from a young age to take care of her mother, she was tortured by her chaacha and chaachi, and she has faced poverty too.

Both my girls have suffered a lot, and deserve loads better than the Oberoi family or indeed, Shivaay and Omkara.

Peace!

Agree on every point TM has put except that Gauri was lucky being adopted a loving home. Well if we see carefully it seems other way around. The family or the mother was lucky to have Gauri as her daughter, otherwise imagine a girl who had to leave her studies after fifth grade to support herself and her mother financially. Infact it's all because of her adoptive mother that Kali Thakur could blackmail her. Anika and Gauri both had a very painful past and childhood. And for once I want both of them to walk out of OM, hand in hand. .

Love the post barring the bit about Gauri having a loving family. She was severely mistreated. After her fathers death she left school after fifth-class and began to work - not a good life for any child. Her mother was ill all the time and she was at the mercy of her chacha-chachi - a chacha who actually hit her in DBO... who both tried to kill her mother at multiple times (people capable of murder). They then sold her to Kaali Thakur... who was the biggest nightmare in any girl's life. Gauri's childhood was a nightmare, just because she maintained her vishwaas, it does not mean it was rainbows and sunshine.

However, thanks for trying to accumulate what a lot of us are feeling...

I for one never had any high expectations for this track. I never watched the beginning of IB so I don't know much about Annika's suffering but I know that when I watched DBO the Gauri I saw was not living a life that anyone would want for themselves. I know many have been waiting for this AniRi track but for what I have seen this should be called Annika and Annika's Chutki's track because I haven't seen Gauri for months now. CVS did not put much effort in Gauri's story so I don't expect them to start now. And I agree with the TM that in the end the girls will just forgive the Oberois and follow their husbands we might enjoy bits and pieces during the track but in the end we all know the outcome.

It will be very annoying if CVs choose to just show this from Anika's POV and forget that Gauri exists.

Gauri had the most difficult life so far, she had a traumatic childhood, what else could be worse than not getting an education and being sold to Kaali?

Atleast Anika grew up independent in a huge metropolis like Mumbai, learned to read and write and had a job before meeting Shivaay.

Where is it written, that only elder sister or brother suffers most and so only they deserve to be hero worshipped all along? Only they deserve attention and retribution?

And talking about actors, I think SP emotes as well as SC.
Definitely in this sisters - Aniri vs. Oberois track - they should get equal space.

Both of them suffered, they could have had a much better life with their parents, but CVs will again turn this into Shivaay vs. Anika drama with Shivaay choosing his family.

I have absolutely no expectations !!!!

Correct me if I am wrong. But from what has been shown, an adopted father's death, leaving education at a very small grade, working at an age where children go to school and enjoy, taking care of her forever ill mother right from the young age, bearing physical abuse from her chacha chachi (which was actually shown) and being sold to kaali, a man who chained her and dragged her like an animal, wanted to share her with other two of his brothers in her early twenties (if that is what her age is to be believed) can no way be called as a better life. The sad part is they have never showed her pov, never made an attempt to show how she felt. A girl's life is ruined in the worst possible way and the writers did not even feel it necessary to address these issues which itself is saddening.

Well, her mother did love her. She was the only one in Gauri's life. But that did more harm to her than good. A mother who easily got fooled and blackmailed putting Gauri in trouble every single time.

I am not comparing because both their struggle is real. Both suffered in their very own ways. But sadly, Gauri's past wasn't explored, neither it was given any importance.

And to top that, it isn't even shown as anika chutki track. Finally Anika will be seen forgiving shivaay and we'll see Gauri nodding her head in the background.

But for once, I want to see them walk away from these big peoples' lives and lead an independent life in their very own way supporting each other. If not that, then atleast some real reactions rather than forgiving them simply, just like it has been mentioned, which is likely not possible.

Gauri toh is not even seen for the past 5 months. No substantial script.

So expections = negative infinity.

So true...if we focus on the factual events shown in IB, and not imaginary extrapolations, Anika's horrible childhood is obvious for anyone to see.

1) She was left alone in that orphanage for a long time...she was locked up in a dark room and beaten up...the scar that kind of trauma can leave on a child, one can only imagine. We see glimpses of it in an Anika who is otherwise so fearless, becoming vulnerable in the face of darkness...it's one of the rare Achilles heels she has so one can imagine how her childhood trauma shaped her life.

2) She was literally wandering the streets in hunger, as that Bajaj guy mentioned and when she was adopted into a family, she had no mother figure...she literally picked herself up by the bootstraps, worked multiple jobs with crazy shifts all day to be able to provide for Sahil...even a grown up Anika literally faced a psychotic Bua getting her choked by the police.

I'm not sure where the logic of Anika got an education is coming from...lol...as far as one can tell, Anika has literally only picked up scraps of knowledge over the years as she worked odd jobs to survive...she's literally the definition of street smart in a big city...nobody handed any opportunities to her.

Everyone handles trauma in different ways...for Anika, being seperated from her little sister left a lasting scar that leaves her shaken to this day in her memories...that is what has been repeatedly shown in the few flashbacks she gets...but I'm not sure why things are being extrapolated beyond what has been shown in the show...lol what is apparent in the show is the level of trauma Anika faced in her childhood and that is why the healing of that is focussed upon more.

I have no expectations from the sister track at this point, will take it as and when they show it...but making this a competition about which sister was traumatized more is a futile exercise in my opinion. Their lives took different paths based on who adopted them, and they had different ways of coping with loss, simple.

Nobody said Anika had a great childhood. All have asserted that Gauri had a horrible one. This is not assumption. This was shown clearly in Dil Boley Oberoi. It was re-iterated in Gauri's love confession in Ishqbaaaz. Kali thakur is a factual part of Ishqbaaaz if you watched RiKara's break-up scene... if you didn't then please watch before commenting. I don't see how Gauri's pain lessens Anika's. We saw Anika's struggles, yes. But viewers of DBO also witnessed Gauri's. One cannot be put down for the other. I do not like this constant need for comparison. Anika nor gauri are validated by suffering more than one another.

My honest hope is that GulNeet give us all the surprise of our lives and show some comuppance to the culprits of both. They should themselves... independently... give punishment to their offenders.

DBO happened. What happened in DBO is canon. Fact.
