First of all, I am actually so happy with the way they are finally shaping up Anika's character. I like the fact she has no hope in this relationship and she is stubborn regarding this issue.. Because that is what you truly become after being abandoned all your life. After learning the little tidbits of Anika's childhood, she should have clear abandonment issues. She should find it difficult to rely on anyone because relying on someone means having expectations and having expectations mean disappointments. Her character should realistically spook easy with any sort of relationship development and that's what I'm Seeing in Anika's character which makes me very happy!đ
Another thing that makes me happy are Shivaay's issues. They are realistic and something that people can relate to. I can understand his NKK obsession because that is what has been ingrained into his brain from childhood. It's not going to be easy to break this coconut...
Anika's past has come as a major shock to Shivaay now clearly. he is at crossroads. He doesn't know what he should do..All his life, he spent obsessing over NKK. But he was not privy to a few things. Unconditional Love. Loyalty. Companionship. How when you find these things with someone, life can be so damn beautiful. He has just now gained this knowledge. The knowledge of Anika. He is living in a bubble where life isn't as hard, where it's ok to laugh and have a few moments to yourself.. It's ok to want something.. It's ok to be selfish.. It's ok to be truly happy.
BUT this is all BRAND NEW! COMPLETE 360 degree change. And it takes time to adjust to something so new.. If you watch Big Bang Theory, then you can understand how long it took for Sheldon to adjust to a new life with Amy lol. I know I know stark difference in couples but the complexities are similar..
I think Anika leaving right now (regardless of whatever reason) is just the tip of the iceberg.. I think the CV's have bigger and better plans.. It would just be too easy if her leaving for two days would break all of his prejudices. Becuase he still hasn't had an inkling of realisation that NKK are merely just words. There hasn't been a single clink in this armour. He is still very passionate and stubborn about his beliefs. I still remember the scene between him and Om, I didn't even see a shadow of uncertainty in his eyes regarding his beliefs.
So let's just all hold on... Becuase if they made it this easy.. then this love story wouldn't be as special. Every love story requires its time and nurturing..
After Shivaay's NKK belief system breaks, what I truly want to see is his fight against Anika's insecurities and issues. Becuase if they are truly calling them " takkar ki jodi", then it shouldn't JUST BE ABOUT SHIVAAY"S BELIEFS. There should be a struggle with Anika's issues too. Her difficulty in relying on him, her clear abandonment issues, her lack of hope regarding their relationship. In reality, convincing Anika that this relationship does have a future should be a fight. It should be borderline impossible for Shivaay to convince Anika that he does not care about her NKK and that he is not making some sort of adjustment with her. And even if by chance she believes that he doesn't care for her NKK, she can't trust the future. what if one day he regrets his choice? What if one day he resents her for who she is? What if he regrets his decision?
It's too scary to even think about it and just these questions should make her want to run for the hills. This is where I want to see Shivaay fighting with Anika FOR ANIKA.
Sorry for the long ramble.. Haven't made such a long post since the Daksh-Hogaya-Mama fiasco..
