My Two Cents on Today's Episode 28/4

Yeah so I'm mostly a silent voyager of this Forum. I read all of your amazing analyses, and reflect silently. But today's episode really made me think, and sort of upset me a little. So here are my thoughts on it.

To be very honest, I was very irked today when I saw how happy Shivaay was at the orphanage when he thought that Annika was the rich businessman's grand daughter. Again his buoyant attitude in the bedroom and his forwardness can be attributed to her changed status quo. That also irked me.

I get it, it's a character flaw and it's very realistic. Having a hang up doesn't make him a bad person. Everybody has hangups of their own. But I guess we just expect too much perfection from fictional characters. So at a certain level I think it is good that the writers are staying true to Shivaay's character. He is a proud man from a very rich family, he is bound to have a set of obstinate beliefs.

A point to be noted here is that he has been led to believe various things about Annika's background during his search for truth. First he thought she was the daughter of a soap seller. Then an orphan. Then daughter of a rich businessman. And then a destitute child who's background is still unknown. Throughout all these assumptions, he has prepared himself to accept her with whatever background she comes with. Yes his reactions have varied. He was happy at the answer he had been hoping for, and upset at others that did not suit his ideology. But he has always come through to accept her for what she is. It may not be ideal, but it is a lot.

Further what they will show next week, Shivaay feeding Annika because of what he found out is again a little irritating. I get it, he's all shaken up over her reality. But I don't think Annika would be too happy to know that he is feeling sorry for her. I know for a fact that I wouldn't want the man I love to pity me. I would want him to love me for who I am and be proud of me for what I have achieved in life, not pity me for my circumstances. Everybody has circumstances of their own. I don't think people should pity the ones strong enough to deal with what god has given them to work with. We all start at different points, it's what we make of it and where we eventually reach that should matter.

So again, I think Annika would be very irked whenever she finds out the truth. You want to be treated as an equal, not be pitied.

But I think this is a rabbit hole that Shivaay has chosen to go down. It is going to take him places. Annika's past is a big mystery inherent to this show. So it is not going to be so simple that Shivaay can just buy an orphanage and things will be served to him on a silver platter. It will take a lot more than that. I am personally hoping for an exotic background for our heroine. Hers is an excellent character. Very gutsy, very chic, very lively. Annika is not a simpleton. She has a lot of buoyancy. Naam Khoon Khaandaan or not, the girl is very royal. I have a feeling she has exotic roots that have an even more exotic back story. I hope the writers give us something strong to base her on.

In addition to that, I have a feeling that Annika's background will turn out to be everything Shivaay has always wanted in his partner, but I also think that the truth will be revealed a little too late. Shivaay with his ministrations and with enough fuel from his mother may have already damaged his relationship with Annika by then. Who knows what may happen. There's a reason they say 'let sleeping dogs lie'. Ignorance is bliss, once the pandora's box opens, the monsters that will be unleashed may be too horrifying to put back or ignore.

I am sure it going to be thoroughly entertaining. Let's hope the writers stay true to their story telling style (it's been quite excellent so far) and give us their own unique take on the plot.

Nice post!!

I didn't like that either but this is SSO were talking about here. His "NKK" belief isn't something to go away easily. I feel he could be happy of the fact she have "NKK" so his mother would stop insulting and questing her "status" which is fine.

But Him feeling pity for her and starting to treat her like a child making up for her bad childhood is something I don't like at all. Anika is someone who always remain strong expect for Sahil she never talk about her past life with anyone because she want to be treated as a equal. I feel Anika will be hurt when she finds out Shivaay is doing all of this because he feel pity for her, Anika isn't someone who takes "Charity" she worked hard to earn her living providing for both herself and Sahil. But on the other hand Shivaay isn't wrong at all to feel bad for her because even us would feel bad if we find out about our close one having a bad childhood and try to make up for it so it's natural to feel bad for someone but Anika if she finds out about it she wouldn't like it at all

Nice post!!

But i don't get it why all members r saying its pity what shivaay will do for anika now after knowing abt it?

I mean he came to knw few of her hardships now but when he came to knw she was orphan he reacted the same way.When anika cried and he consoled her so why now it is called 'pity'?

Just imagine if a child gets hurt and a mother comes to knw later abt it.Would she feel pity for her child or she will be more protective for her child and try to give her child more happiness?

I knw weird example but shivaay is protective for anika and he loves her alot.He would not feel pity for her.He will become more soft with her and his struggle with his believes will continue but just like most of the members anika will mistook his softness as pity and that will create mu between shivika later

That is fine even I will feel pity for someone and tried to make up for there bad past too. Shivaay isn't wrong at all in doing so we all know he been very protective of Anika way before he know she had a bad past but Anika will not like this at all. She wants to be treated as a equal she is not someone who takes charity from anyone or wants anyone to feel sympathy for her, neither Shivaay or Anika is wrong here. It's natural to feel bad for someone I hope Anika let Shivaay know she's happy and proud of who she is
