1. I think it was pure jealousy in the library. When he said "Mai bhi rich and famous hu" he was saying why not me? Whats wrong with me? Which is quite ironic coz he is kinda offering himself to be 'USED' by a said gold digger 🤣
There was absolutely no lust or protectiveness in that particular moment. In simple words, Shaurya was very troubled by ACP's closeness with Anokhi and he wanted to blame someone for it. Coupled with his faulty upbringing, he blamed it on ANokhi by sl*t-shaming her.
Many ppl do this. I am sure, at some point we have too. It maybe unintentional or very subtle but it happens. Even when mohalle ki aunties say something about a girl's male friends, they are actually trying to insinuate that the girl is impressing the boys. It could be as subtle as that!
2. I have deeply analyzed their scene and understood that there is no one particular moment. Anokhi has always been different for him. His special case. He never had control over himself around her, even when he used to not like her... she was the only who affected him so deeply.
But I think it started slowly after ragging track. Their dance had sexual tension. A certain physical awareness of each other. Then there was Astha's track where he felt that his pain was acknowledged on his bday.
Remember he was so moved when she said, "Pain toh pain hota hai." Then in the car on the way to search Astha... He wanted to talk to her but she spoiled it by nagging! 😆 There are so many moments when he noticed things about her... But mostly after the library scene... He was so restless that she would go away from him. That was not just guilt and conscience. It was fear of not seeing her again.
Kitna lamba likh diya! Go read my analysis post! 😆 Usmei yeh sab likha hai... How and when they started feeling things for each other.
which post is that??
