Hi ! Strength or weakness? That's a tough one. When you place a thing or someone as your strength, it can be used as your weakness... What do you think?
Take for example Sahil. Annika has no wants or needs of her own, she falls and gets up again and again for Sahil. He is her strength, her motivation to go on. But SSO used Sahil as her weakness, and forced her into something she didn't want. That is if the strength is a dependent one. He is small now, but when he grows he will be her biggest strength and support.
But Shivaay and Annika are equals. No one can use one to make the other weak, they are like two halves of a whole. Yin and yang. Solid trust, cast from the scars of previous misunderstandings.
Equals means they are each others' weakness and strength. Separately, they are defeat-able. But together, there is a check and balance. When one is down, the other rises.
They only fight each other, outside they are a unit now.
I used to think that perhaps Annika was Shivaay's reward for all his hard work keeping his family together from a young age. But he is also looking like salvation for the lost orphans Annika and Sahil.
I can go on and on ... kaafi bore ho jayegi sabko 😆
