ShaKhi - Should we root for them?

Honestly guys, I am not saying we shouldn't root for story's main pair. Obviously, we should and we would.

But I'll put it in plain words. Shaurya will hurt Anokhi, time and again. Today he hurt her when she's not even his girlfriend/wife. Yeah, he will realise mistake, apologise. One day eventually, Anokhi will fall for him, as per the storyline.

But if I answer honestly, this will be her life's blessing and but also a curse. There is no guarantee that the next time Shaurya sees someone close to Anokhi, he won't burst. What if someone starts liking Anokhi ? She's young and she will work, there are chances of other men developing an interest in her. Then how is Shaurya going to handle it? Make her stop working? Or go hit every guy? Or call her characterless again?

The biggest point here is Shaurya might regret saying all these things that he said to Anokhi. He might apologise with all his heart. But is there a guarantee that this possessive and regressive side of him won't come back? That he will not be so so blinded with that he will not misunderstand her or call her names?

I somewhere feel that Shaurya will love Anokhi alot. Like alot. He will take care of her smallest of needs. But she will get the whole package. His extremely caring side wrapped with his insecurities , his tendency of misunderstanding and his anger in which he spits venom. Yes, I do feel like all this will sometime repeat. And when she's his partner, it will hurt her more.

I cannot say if his love will be toxic in the long run or not right now. But certainly their love will not be a fairytale and somewhere I do feel Anokhi could do better or deserves better. But then the reality of life is, our emotions often get engaged with something or someone and then we are unable to pull back when there is a "dil-se" connection. Hence , I feel these mistakes will repeat. It has become a part of his character, and Anokhi who will fall in love, will have to accept the whole package deal.

Makes me wonder if we should root for ShaKhi knowing they will always have differences? Maybe yes because this is still a show.😆

In real life - NO.

I always relate to the quote "We don't love someone because of, we love someone inspite of." When we love someone we love them and accept them with their virtues and vices. Shortcomings and merits. We fall for a complete package. If you think that person is worth your time and effort you stay around but if you don't you don't get into that relationship. See that's the thing with all relationships you figure out if you can tolerate the other person in long run or not. If we only look for ideal relationships of two people we couldn't root for any couple in long run. Shaurya may hurt Anokhi in future and she too will hurt him or disappoint him. That's how relationships work if you can work out those differences or not. It's unrealistic to expect a couples journey to be smooth with no speed breakers. Sooner or later they will have fights misunderstanding disappointment dealing with those. That's how it works. In real life too. Ask any married or committed couple if their journey in the start was bump free making no adjustments with their partner's mood or nature. They get used to each other over time and that's the same with a couple in love.

Agreed.

But Ill be brutally honest here. Handeling an insecure man is not an easy job, and I have a feeling that Shaurya is first going hurl her with accusations if he sees her in any kind of state which is compromising. Will he accept Anokhi hugging any other guy like she hugged him during the ragging incident? Will he understand that she only needed support? Will he?

Anokhi will have to run behind him to prove a point and that is where things get toxic for me personally.

Personal Belief : I dont think a woman should ever fall for a man who has accused her of having affairs with rich men for money and stuff like that. But again, this is a show and ShaKhi are characters. In real life, I would just want them to stay away 😆

If the questioning and misunderstanding is going to be a pattern, then no. We shouldn't root for it neither on oncreen nor in real life because it is toxic and simply not worth it. But let us see how they take it forward because the audience here is different from the regional version audience so here's to hoping for the best as long as possible (because its ITV and one day the show is going to stop making sense😆)

I have personally seen an example of such a relationship, my college room mate was with a guy who was like that and she would be in tears every day. Some of the restrictions and questioning would be so absurd, at the end of the day it is simply not worth it.

Road blocks are fine because relationships take effort and the love is what makes the effort worth. The questions is it worth it if one of the partners is constantly exhibiting the same pattern of behaviour that impacts the other in a toxic manner? Would rooting for that kind of a relationship in reel or real be worth it?

Ohh sameee! I have a roommate too currently. The guy she dates is kind of prince charming too. He is filthy rich and he fell for her very organically. (No love-hate relatioship) It's just his first relationship after 3-4 years and his passion is omg, unmatched. You can see how much he loves her from his face. But he has huge issues with her giving anyone else bhaav. We were once on a trip and she was talking to another guy for a long time and he lost his mind. He ignored her for the rest of the day and then they fought on the phone and he did practice "name calling". She cried alot, I felt it was below the belt and such comments should not be made. But she eventually forgave him and they got together. This could be forgiven one time but this is his pattern. He has done this time and again and gotten really below the belt many times. But then they call it *love*. Sorry but this for me is emotional torture.

Im not saying love shouldnt have issues. But these are the kind of things partners need to be understanding about. Matlab u can fight on groceries or child's education or any other serious matter. But mistrust and doubts , that is jist disgusting for me.

If you agree to get into a relationship with a man who think so low of you and don't respect you then I root for you both as you deserve each other. No self respecting person would be in a relationship with a known toxic person by choice if you think you can change him good luck. But if Anokhi is shown be a ditzy girl who would repeatedly forgive him then yes you both are equally toxic and deserve each other. It's easy to blame just the man for being toxic and cause of the relationship being toxic. It's equally toxic too to bear or even voluntarily get in that relationship. You are toxic too.

So how do u think they are going to clear Shaurya's image from Anokhi's and viewers mind after all the brash name calling? Hoe do they tell us that this will never repeat itself?
