Character Based Review- 20th March 2021 - Page 2

That is what I am saying. It is a deliberate move by CVs to show Shaurya as Anokhi's saviour. Otherwise Astha could have handled it on her own. But this is Shaurya aur Anokhi ki kahani and the CVs give most of their attention to Shaurya and a little bit to Anokhi. No one would care if there is some inconsistencies in the side characters so they are butchered as needed.

Still for argument's sake, I would say that Aastha did try to convince Anokhi to fight to prove herself but the scene was cut abruptly so we don't know if she pushed her any further. Her reaction was not bland. And Aastha is not scared of Sabharwals, else she would not have dared to step inside SIAC after 25 years and threatened to report them to the education board. I think she stayed away this time because she knows the Sabharwals are against Anokhi mainly because she was Aastha's recommendation and her involvement could have made matters worse for Anokhi. Also she was not aware of the rustication bit. She only thought Anokhi was accused of cheating. No one gets rusticated for cheating in an internal exam.

But here shaurya is the one to do...astha has no role here

Shaurya is her teacher and also the director of SIAC....he valued her papers and assesed it...as a teacher he is fit to give conduct as a teacher...astha was her teacher and about rustication anokhi got to know next day...so astha would know later only

Hi, I am Mayesha. Yours?

Isse means who? Shaurya or Ahir?

I am Sejal..

I meant... I have been dying to see Anokhi do things on her own without Shaurya! The problem is that this show has overhighlighted Anokhi's dependency on him... So just like you mentioned... Anokhi should have resolved this without Shaurya.. Atleast at this point.

Point, in case of cheating, you can't really prove yourself. The teacher has to interfere. In that way too, Shaurya's interference was believable

Hi Sejal. Same here. They make Shaurya too heroic that he often overshadows Anokhi's talents and capabilities. However, as someone else mentioned, as her economics professor, he is the only one who could provide evidence of her innocence. If Anokhi said she didn't cheat, no one would believe her. But if Shaurya shows them her papers and says she didn't cheat, as a teacher, Shaurya's words will be credible.

In the future though, I would like to see her fighting for herself

I hope and believe we will get one. Because if the writers didn't plan a proper apology, they won't make Shaurya's character say "It's not a big deal," again and again. They are not downplaying. They are waiting to show something big before Shaurya realizes. And I at least trust Shaurya's character to apologize once he feels sorry.

I don't want Anokhi to leave. Why should she leave just because Shaurya said something. SIAC is her dream. She should chase it, not go away because the director insulted you.

Exactly, she has fought for herself again and again. But as humans, we tend to give up after one point of time. Anokhi needs a break before she can come back to being herself. I hope she keeps thinking of Shaurya's words and finds courage to stand up again.

In the beginning, the show was so slow that people were complaining. Now it seems to be shifting to be an express train. I agree they could extend the rustication drama to at least three episodes after the amount of promotion SP did. The TRP might also be an issue. I have noticed when a serial fails to grab TRPs, they make the show fast-paced for whatever reason. I just hope the love story is given its time to bloom.

It's so true, the CVs keep having Shaurya be in denial of his actions repeatedly....that's a great sign that we'll get a realization/redemption moment....let's hope that's what KV was hinting at for Holi.

I don't really want Anokhi to leave...and I don't think she will since the story needs to progress. SIAC is a dream given to her by Aastha because that's where she had pull with Shaan. Anokhi is so brilliant that she would be successful anywhere. In reality I think a student should leave an institution if the values of the institution doesn't align with your own values. Having the management of the school rally against a student gives me bad vibes. I would never recommend that a student stay in a school like that.

"I just hope the love story is given its time to bloom." I want them to spend some time on the love story. Already it feels like Shaurya fell fast, but I don't really judge that since lust can happen in an instant. I don't think Shaurya's in "love", but he's definitely intrigued and challenged. I want the fall to be slow. As for Anokhi, other than being taken back by Shaurya's proximity, I haven't seen the concern or care I would expect. I live for the little moments and look forward to that with ShaKhi.

I hope. According to OG something else happens, but I am up for any treat they give the viewers.

You stole my words. Why should she leave just because a guy blabbered sh*t about her or because the management disagrees with her viewpoints? She is here to study and they are none to bound her from doing so. She is a fighter and she should strive to earn a place in this big world. Also the story needs to progress like you mentioned. Neither Shaurya should go to Patiala nor Anokhi should go to Kapurthala. A separation before falling in love won't make sense.

I don't think Shaurya fell for her. Shaurya is in the process of falling. If he fell for her, he would never accuse her like that. I don't know if it is lust either. On one side, he touches her like a teacher would never touch his student. On the other, except for Tuesday, his words or actions never gave me those creepy vibes. Nor before or after.

But I am sure the falling in love phase from Anokhi's standpoint will be slower than we can imagine. Before this week, she saw him as a respectable teacher. He lost that position this week. So earning his previous place in her life will take long. And falling in love with a person like him will take longer.

@bold: What happens in Mohor for Holi? or as an aftermath of the rustication saga?

I guess the love story depends on what the viewers viewpoint is on "love". I definitely thinks he's gaga over the girl and doesn't know how to vocalize it. Shaurya seems like someone who doesn't have the vocabulary for love or hurt or anger or jealousy. He doesn't understand why Anokhi has taken over his mind. He doesn't know how to process jealousy. He also doesn't know how to show his anger in a constructive manner so he falls on his destructive tendencies.

As for Anokhi.....like you said, Shaurya lost his "respectable teacher" spot. I guess that was needed. Shaurya's place as respectable "sir" is now just left with the title "sir" because he's older. He needed to be knocked off that pedestal so that he can seem more fallible to her. I hope they give us instances where Shaurya earns that trust back so we can see that there's a genuine reason why Anokhi falls for him.

Also when I said "lust", I don't mean that in a creepy way. I'm of the belief that there is no such thing as love at first sight. It's always lust or attraction, which is what I see in Shaurya - he's intrigued by Anokhi. He's challenged. She doesn't fawn over him like the other girls/students. Like Badi ma mentioned, everyone is always his fan. Anokhi likes to call him out on his bullshit and wants him to be better. Somehow those things have made a place in his heart.

During holi, he applies colors on her cheeks and tells her that he sees her as someone more than a student.

Love is a subjective concept so what may be love for you might not be love for somebody else. He has gone crazy here. What I want to know is if this behavior is because of love or inner guilt. He doesn't seem to realize his fault which makes things more complicated.

I really hope so because in OG version, the falling in love track was handled carelessly. We don't really get how and why Mohor fell in love with Shankho. There must be a reason why she fell for him instead of Ahir, who was nice to her.

Shaurya needed someone like Anokhi in his life. I have always believed that he is the way he is because of the raja beta treatment he gets in his home. It's an arrangement sort of. He should listen to each and every word of bade papa-Badi ma and they will treat him like a prince. In front of these three, no one has a say in the Saberwal mansion. But recently, Shaurya has started mending his ways. He did not shy away from admitting that Bebo-Kitty cheated in front of the whole committee. And as a teacher, he can fail them in the prelims. I believe he will do so. He risked a fight with Bade papa for a student of his. So I can only imagine what he will do when he and Anokhi are in love.

If at Holi Shaurya were to admit that to Anokhi....that would mean he has to have a self-realization before that, then also has to apologize and have Anokhi stay back. Was Holi handled well in Mohar? Does she reciprocate or get weirded out?

How did Mohar get so popular if they handled the love story so wrong? The love and the change is really the crux of the story. I guess the Bengali version, being named for the girl must have really concentrated on her journey. Whereas SAAKK is both Shaurya's and Anokhi's story, so hopefully they handle it differently.

I totally agree about the raja beta comment. He's towed the line with his bade papa and badi ma that Devi didn't even know he dances well. He plays the "good boy" and keeps his image clean. He's put up such a façade that it's really bleeds into other parts of his life.

I was watching his "sorry" scene with Aastha(trying to redeem him in my heart) and he really doesn't value himself much and tries to just just ignore his abandonment issues. He really needed Anokhi, someone with a spine....who speaks up for herself and others and is really about doing the "right" thing. I don't know how her independence will work with his savior complex though....we shall see! They shall be petrol and aag and create a big bonfire to burn up all their insecurities!

Both tracks were separated by time in Mohor as far as I remember. They were not one after another. But since holi can't come later in the year, they are bringing it now. I don't want to spoil the story further in this post. This post might be viewed by other members who wouldn't want to come across a spoiler. There is an OG discussion thread in this forum where you can ask the question and those who handle it will answer your query.

Bengalis have a different taste than ITV viewers. SAAKK gets a TRP of 1.2 but in Bengal, Mohor topped the rating chart many times. So you can understand. SAAKK is viewed by the younger generation, but Mohor was liked by the older generation. My own mother and grandmother still watch it. So you can say the disparity in tastes which is why Mohor was able be famous despite the storyline which may seem boring to us.

Good point...this should stay a spoiler free zone. I've been on that thread....and read some of the spoilers.....so many pages to go through....life of a fangirl I guess.

I'm not sure about the Bengali version, but I looked at the Malayalam version, and they really hype the family drama a bit more. And the machismo of the male lead is more accepted. It isn't sold as just for younger people....even the opening montage has the Shaan/Aastha counterparts with the Shaurya/Anokhi characters. The one change I also noticed in Malayalam is the principal of the school is Badi Ma too....so she has more power. Also, I'm very superficial in my watching and I think KV and Deb look much prettier onscreen to me.
