I can totally understand where she is coming from, but today I didn't feel that she is in true love with Shaurya...she is attached..but if she really think that he doesn't respect any women even after seeing multiple instances that he does, and compare him with her dad and jiju, I feel heavily disappointed with her love.
Again, with everything seen, I feel she is just infatuated with Shaurya..nothing more.
And I agree to the self respect part, but what aastha did to a 4 year old can never be claimed right! She might have her reasons, but she never once thought of the consequences it will have on a child's mentally. If her parents was her responsibility, so was the kid too!
She should start taking responsibility for what she did!
I think in general I was disappointed with the direction the conversation ended up heading into. It was a critical conversation and the implications were huge but Astha did not care to own her and Shaan's irresponsibility in the entire fiasco while Anokhi seem to make a knee-jerk decision influenced by Babli and Shagun.
@bold: There is a difference in the maturity level and the thought that both the parties have put in the relationship. Shaurya took his time in assessing his feelings and gaining clarity, he did not rush into it. Part of it probably was the moral/ethical question of their former role as teacher and student, involvement of Astha and the possibility of a future with Sab family. Once he made the decision, he has stood strongly by it. On the other hand Anokhi seems to depend on him and enamored by him but it feels like she was swept off her feet by his charm, his attention, the idea of love and strong physical attraction. Now that reality has rudely intruded, she is realizing this is not a fairytale. Her prince charming might have a beast hidden in him. She gets to chose whether she wants to risk taming the beast or walk away from her prince charming. There is no doubt in my mind that she feels very strongly about Shaurya but she is trying to love with her head and not heart alone. Will she succeed is to be seen. In a earlier episode you see her naivety when she mentioned that love gives courage and brings hope, it does not ask for compromise. Love does bring courage and hope but any and every relationship in the world need some level of compromise and adjustment. If you are lucky then the compromise/adjustment feels organic and natural and does not even feel like compromise . If you are unlucky, the compromise is the price you pay for keeping the relationship going.
It seems that Anokhi might take a step back and walk away from Shaurya for now. Shaurya might try to convince her but so far "clearly stated consent" has been a very big thing for him. If Anokhi denies him, he will probably step back and maintain his distance too while keeping a watch over her from afar. I would love if Anokhi could go through the same roller-coaster of emotions that Shaurya went through- bouts of jealousy, incapability to deal with being ignored by loved one, constant desire to stay in proximity, fear of losing love to another person. It will be interesting to see if they can manage to keep away from each other for practical reasons while pinning for each other.
I thought it was ironical how much parallel there is between Shastha and Shaakhi and how they have ended up in the same place with same underlying reasons though both couples are so different. Shaan and Astha were married while Shaurya and Anokhi have not even kickstarted their relationship. Shaan had no spine and Shaurya is a very strong action oriented individual. For Astha, it was all about parental responsibilities while for Anokhi, it is about her capabilities and dreams.
