Anjali Vs Khushi: A study in Contrast

Here are two of the nicest people I have seen on TV. And somehow their contrasts always strikes me forcefully.
Anjali was born in a rich family and orphaned at 19.
Khushi was born to a reasonable family (I think. Though I do not know her background). Orphaned at 8.
Anjali was raised by her maternal grandmother after the incident (well she was too grown to be raised).
Khushi was raised by her aunt and aunt's husband.
Anjali's marriage was called off suddenly and both her parents committed sucide. Indeed a big tragedy.
Khushi's fiance turned out to be a married man. When she did get married she was forced into a contract marriage in a brutal way.
After marriage Anjali led a life of comfort and total pampering by all and sundry. Of course she is nice enough to deserve it. She had to do nothing to earn this love other than be her sweet self.
After marriage Khushi went through a life of hell with her husband, She never had proper clothes, was disowned by her own family. She was disrespected by her in-laws for the runaway marriage. But she struggled and valiantly won them back with her warmth and love, never once complaining.
Anjali has never needed to worry about money. Taking it from her brother freely. Spending it as she liked. Letting her husband do the same.
Khushi never likes taking money unless she feels she has earned it. She always tries to earn in her own way and always tries her best to repay as far as possible.
Anjali's husband always treated her like a glass doll. She always felt she was a queen with him (so what if it is a lie. But Shyam treated her like that to hide his own flaws). Ultimately she found out he was a scoundrel. But she can't accept it.
Khushi's husband treated her like a rag doll, always rough and gruff with her. Even her marriage was a contract. But she gave her love unconditionally. Ultimately she found out her husband loves her Today she is the queen in his life.
Anjali has a brother who will sacrifice everything for her and do anything for her happiness, fight her battles and take care of her.
Khushi had no one to fight her battles. No one to care for her. (At least not till ASR has changed). But she fought her battles and won most of the,
So here is Anjali: Always pampered, always loved, always given priority, always worshipped and yet she remains weak and delusional.
And here is Khushi. Always accused, always hurt, always abondoned, always treated like trash and yet she is strong and full of optimism and liveliness.
Anjali and Khushi are classic examples of the saying 'attitude is everything in life'.
Khushi's attitude has her rising up after every blow and fighting her battles and smiling through her difficulties.
Anjali's attitude makes her more weak after every blow and losing her battles and crying through her difficulties.
By studying these ladies in contrast, I can easily say that life is shaped by what one is inside and not how difficult things are outside.
Just my two cents (Ok make that a dollar because the post is long) on these two studies in contrast😊

I'm first? :O
My am i so happy! :D

Khushi is the ultimate heroine, or rather star out here- cause she is the one who has faced a lot in life..
Yes, Anjali's parents did commit suicide, but years later after that tragic incident- her life had been almost picture perfect, like they show in the movies, until now..
So perfective had her life been, that she fails to comprehend anything that goes against the 'happy ending' life.

No, leading a happy life is not bad!
Infact, her sweet and caring nature accounts for that!

But trusting her cunning husband over her devoted brother is something you would not expect of her!
She believes Arnav to be entangled in a web of misunderstanding..
Ironic, eh?

Now to Khushi- she never had the liabilities that Anjali was entitled to..
Yet even once did she not complain!
She was forcefully married, insulted, humiliated- for no fault of hers!

Even when she didn't deserve what she got, she fought all life had to offer, for good or for worse!

She is completely entitled to the love Arnav is showering on her! :)

P.S: Yes, i do feel bad for Anjali..
But her delusional attitude is not up to my liking!
And that is the difference between the two characters!

P.P.S: Did i make any sense or whatever you've read seems like gibberish?

A lovely post Rima -

i shall try & be unbiased to Anjali's character

Yes attitudes makes a stark difference to live life & our perspective changes completely. Funny after reading the difference i feel terrible for Khushi & absolutely no sympathy for Anjali not that this post is making me to just saying.

Anjali lives her entire life on double standards where as Khushi has kept for everyone even shyam only one standard which never changes. Anjali is or rather forced everyone's to make her the center of their universe where as Khushi made everyone her center & did not force any one.

Both are sweet on the outside but have different thought processes on the insides. Till what i have seen Anjali's past is bad but she still is not come over it & Khushi always has a okish past nothing great to flaunt about but she is still so different no one will ever imagine that her parents would have died.

Anjali has not been able to a play a good sister even though they are trying to portraying it to be so where as Khushi surpasses Anjali in the sister & wife role completely.

I can go on & on but i stop here list seems endless to me

once again rima awesome post
i think i sound repetitive

anjali and khushi -two individuals similar in many ways yet poles apart

anjali is potrayed to be a sweet,compassionate,loving and understanding one in the beginning
khushi is sweet,compassionate,loving,understanding yet bubbly,impulsive

anjali believed in true love and thought she got it
khushi too believed in love and waited for her prince charming but got beast

anjali never faced problems,her brother fought her battles for her
khushi always fought her own battles

anjali faced tragedies and she built an imaginary world around her where everything's rosie
khushi has faced the tragedies built a cheery world around her where everyone is good

anjali has someone who can protect her without her even knowing what is coming her way
khushi has none but an adopted family who will jump the gun at the first opportunity given

anjali is stupid.dumb.delusional,manipulative,emotional blackmail queen
khushi is naive,honest,sacrificing,and righteous in her stance

anjali is attention seeking and wants the world to revolve around her
khushi is ready to give up her world to see some one smile and she doesnot mind standing in the shadows while her loved ones are happy

anjali is going behind her chotey's back for her love
khushi sacrificed her life and dreams for her sister's love

we can go on and on
but the list never ends
anjali is someone who is evolving into this delusional distressed damsel
while khushi is evolving as a strong and willed woman

anjali's case amuses me to no end
despite having everything,she still wants some more attention,some more love
that greed for some more will always be dangerous

whereas khushi is happy with what ever she has never asking others to love her in return

regarding money,i don't want to go that way

asr is the golden goose for anji and her creep whom they are exploiting to no end

soowiiiee for the longest rant😳

very good differentiation b/w anjali n khushi😊
Anjali not a true sister to arnav..but arnav sacrificed everything n thrashed khushi's life too
Well she fell into shyam's pills trap too but he don't know that he used her a weapon to enter in his bro's life n spoils whole relationship b/w them
All becoz of her blind love which hides evrything infront of her
analysing ur points i feel that both of them were in same pace.
but anyway khushi is more precious character than anjali😊

Awesome post !! Rima 😊👍🏼

yes anjali's weakness, her blind adoration of her husband, her inability to face truth makes her weak and now that is going to make her husband re-enter her brother's life and ruin it...the brother who does so much for her

Beautifully summarized about Khushi and Anjali Rima 👏
To sum it, Khushi is perfect example of today's woman and Anjali is perfect example how a woman, sister, wife shouldn't be.

Her blind adoration for her husband, will not only ruin her brother's life but in the process will create havoc in Khushi's life as he always lusted after her
