Editing issues or not, dil ko thandak pad gayi. I have to give kudos to the show, I am completely hooked even with the most boring episode because I keep wondering if the show will continue to be logical or will give up and go the ITV route. Ofcourse if Shaakhi show up, every episode turns out to be interesting and have me behaving like a teenage fangirl.
There is some progress in the show though most of us already knew this-
1)Anokhi is deeply and irrevocably in love with Shaurya. She is no less invested than him. Every thing about him is cute and attractive to her and he is always on her mind. She can never ignore him no matter how hard she tries. Can all the folks who have been criticizing her on SM for partying in yesterday's episode back off now.
2)Ahir finally confesses to a sleeping Anokhi. If he is smart, he should know he does not have a prayer of getting together with Anokhi in short term. I might be the only one but I felt creeped out at the fact that he decided to confess after knowing everything and also he did not tell Anokhi why he was here and decided to party. Did not like his smile yesterday when he was holding her or today. I am biased that way. Did Babli hear him confess?
3)Shagun finally accepted that Shaurya will not return to her willingly. She decides to threaten BM. Even BM accepted that creating misunderstandings between the couple might not be easy. I still think Shagun has an ulterior motive there and BM might have unknowingly invited a monster in her house and her foster son's life. She does not care about Shaurya, it is all about somehow marrying him. I hated the nonchalant way she said Shaurya will return home anyways sooner or later. I wondered why she decided to check Anokhi's room for clues instead on Shaurya's- because she probably was angling for some dirt.
4)In the end it was Astha's call that got Ahir in, for all Sab family resources, they were helpless.
5)Shaurya must be incredibly weak - He had a shock on Holi, he tried to resolve the issue of Shagun's return, had a fight with Anokhi on date night that he was looking forward to, flew to goa and sulked, had a day of happiness where he spent all day planning party for Anokhi, had a shock and heart break in evening, had an accident, had another shock then got kidnapped and has been held for ransom for last few days. That can take mental and physical toll on anyone.
I liked the precap- Will Anokhi be able to rescue Shaurya? I hope so but I want them to get some together away from their pesky families and Ahir in the process. I am not greedy , I will take couple of hours too.
There is no reason for Shaurya to misunderstand Anokhi though he might be insanely jealous of Anohir. In short to me this is a test for Shaurya to see if he has the capability to change and become a better person in long run.
I do think the kaikayi promise, short separation and secret marriage are on cards if we are to follow the overarching tracks of OG. However here is the question-BM should realize now that Shagun is definitely not the right person for Shaurya, why would she use her promise to force her son into an unhappy marraige? Her son would hate her for a lifetime. Shaurya should realize now that Anokhi puts him above everything else and loves him deeply. Why would someone like him let a situation that separates them prevail or suspect Anokhi? I cannot see why Anokhi would ever agree to secret marraige.
