WARNING: Long post!!!!!!!!
Hello!
I am back to give my unnecessary review on aaj ka dhamakedaar, shandaar and most awaited episode. Tolerate me a little because this post is full of caps. Let’s admit it… The entire episode was worth capturing!! Every dialogue is too good to be missed so you can only imagine how difficult it was for me to choose what to write and what not to write about.
Starting off with appreciation for the cameraman, writer, director and the entire crew for giving us a balance of all the emotions in one episode. Happiness, Anxiety, Rationality, Pain and Frustration all in one episode in just the right amounts!
Ab kursi ki peti bandhlo… Maine yeh review kafi lengthy hai aur jaldi mei likha hai so bardash karna padega!
******************
“Tabiyat Kaisi Hai Aapki? Doctor ne Kya Kaha?”
Nikki Puttar, a few hours back, had decided that she would start moving on, but the first glimpse of him and all she remembered was his condition when she last saw him. His health and wellbeing are of paramount importance.
She may be angry, hurt and confused but those emotions are not above her concern for him. Everything else forgotten over the joy of seeing him well and safe in front of her.
“Shhh… Doctor se Zyada Mujhe Tumhari Zarurat Hai.”
The torment was obviously there ever since the date night. Slowly, as things took a turn for the worst, the torturous separation only built the anxiety to meet her once. Yes, he was unconscious most of the time but even in that state, his mind kept revolving around Anokhi and the moments they had spent together.
“Kitna Kuch Kehna Tha, Samajhna Tha, Sunna Tha”
“Aur Wait Mat Karao. Don’t Do This To Me!”
The one thing he wanted to hear her say ever since holi! The joy and excitement in his voice is constant because he knows that those feelings are there… She wants to say it as well. He is confident that despite all the mess, all those complicated feelings and situations they have been experiencing for the past few days, she still loves him!
Please take a note that, at this moment, there are no MISUNDERSTANDINGS here! Shaurya and Anokhi trust each other and their love! Shaurya and Anokhi have not let any misunderstanding creep in between them so far.
“I Love You, PS.”
“I Love You, Ms. Bhalla. I Love You.”
“I Love You More Than That.”
“Not More Than Me..”
“I Love You More.”
“I Love You More”
“I Love You, PS. Aapko Idea Bhi Nahi Hai… I Just Love You”
Okay…. I am sobbing here!!! The look on their face when they first said it!!
He wanted to hear those words but when they actually fell on his ears, he almost could not believe it.
Neither could Anokhi!! She has heard them before but it was all out anger and frustration when he first said those words… But now… He is all soft, words coming from deep inside his heart. It somehow felt more believable and real.
The sukoon their souls find in each other…
ShaKhi are fated to be together and that’s why “Jo Tera Howega, Zaroor Aayega..”
“Puri Duniya Ghoom Gayi!”
“Meri Bhi..”
Truly… Saying these three little words has changed everything for them. Their world has shifted and their dynamics have now changed. The euphoria of finally saying those words is like sealing the deal with stamp papers. Their relationship is now validated by the essence of love and devotion for each other.
“Birthday ki Yaad Dila Ke, Aapne Woh Sari Baatei Phirse Yaad Dila Di..
Mera Ghussa, Mera Dard, Mera Sach...”
His face changed! Shaurya remembers it as well… Those memories are cold water over their warm moments. They both feel the grief of that ruined birthday party and everything that happened ever since.
“Woh Sach, Jo Devi Ma’am ne Sabke Saamne Announce Kiya Tha…
Aapke aur Shagun Ma’am ke Bare Mei.”
And once again, Anokhi crashes back to reality.
The flight was not because of the confession but because of the elation that they were finally together and in those few minutes, nothing else existed. She is so deep in love that Shaurya’s presence was alone enough to push back on her resolve to move on.
This was the second time she has crash landed from her 'Love flight' since her birthday. Coming back to reality is always painful, after all.
“Maine Kitni Baar kaha Hai Tumse, Anokhi…
Jab Tum Mujhse Door Jati ho Mujhse Bardaash Nahi Hota”
I think, by now it is very clear that Shaurya will be the driving force in ShaKhi’s relationship. He will have to take the step to make things right and Anokhi will meet him halfway like she has been doing so far. This time the situation is slightly different but Shaurya will set things right anyway and prove it to her that he is hers just as much as she is his.
And just to clear this, Anokhi will be the only reason why he will overstep his modesty and insecurities.
“Sab Alag Ho Sakte Hai, Lekin Soch Same Honi Chahiye, PS.”
Honestly, Anokhi is right. They fight a lot and things haven’t changed much even after they fell in love… So, she has every reason to believe that they are incompatible. Also, her biggest concern is his ‘Soch’ about career oriented women, it will need a lot of work before things in this matter change.
In reality, people who fight so often would be very skeptical about committing to each other and Anokhi is being very practical right now. She sees things as they are and is stating the obvious that they will probably fight a lot in future as well…
“Hum Pyaar Karte Hai Ek Dusre Se, Kya Itna Kafi Nahi Hai?”
Shaurya is being impressionable.
His rationale is a little clouded by love and does not see her concerns clearly because she is still not very clear about it. He didn’t even think over her points about their different natures and ‘Soch’ which is mostly because he hasn’t given it a full thought yet.
Shaurya has forgotten all about her ambitions and he has definitely ceased thinking about a checklist for ‘wife’ material candidates.
"Shagun Ma'am se Sagaai Kyu Todi Thi Aapne?"
Shaurya’s assuring smile was wiped off the moment she asked why his previous engagement was called off and he was jolted back to reality and landed right next to her.
Love has little to do with logic. Jab hona hota hai, jisse hona hota hai, bas ho jata hai.
Shaurya and Anokhi are classic examples of this. They have been at loggerheads ever since they met, but they still fell in love! However, falling in love and remaining in love are two different things. Shaurya hasn’t realized that yet. He hasn’t given a thought to their future.
“Apne Liye Kuch Karna Chahti Hu, PS (...)
Aur Yahi Meri Life Ka Goal Hai.
Mrs. Shaurya Sabherwal Banna Nahi Hai, Usse bhi Kafi Bada Hai, PS.”
Anokhi’s determination is what makes her truly ANOKHI.
She is unwavering and confident in herself. She is ready to take on the pain of ‘Adhura Pehla Pyaar’ with her head held high because she knows that if she gives up on her dreams for a man who does not see and treat her as an equal, she will have to live her life with her head bent down.
Not because Shaurya would disrespect her or mistreat her… But because there will be moments in her life where she would regret leaving her career behind when that was what she dreamed of for a long, long time. It’s not about being a career woman v/s housewife for Anokhi… It’s about her choice. Making your OWN choice for YOURSELF is a form of self-love.
And Anokhi made hers when she was a young girl.
PYAAR ke saath toh dusro ke sang zindagi beeta sakte hai,
Lekin IZZAT ke bina khud ke saath rehna bhi mushkil ho jata hai.
“Tumhe Yeh Sab Chahiye, Mai Nahi?”
Anokhi is absolutely right here! There is a difference between CHANGE and COMPROMISE.
And Shaurya has not “Changed”. At least, not his ‘Soch’.
Yes, he has changed behaviorally, emotionally, and soulfully. He is now Anokhi’s Shaurya in many ways, but the insecurities inside him that makes him want a housewife has not changed or been put to rest. He still did not see anything wrong about asking Shagun to choose between Him and Cambridge and again he asked Anokhi if she didn’t want him more than her career.
Personal opinion: I am very, very, very happy that Shaurya hasn’t changed. People don’t change just like that, especially not in happy moments. It happens when something really tragic, life-changing event forces them to do so. I wanted to see Shaurya think over this. And today he was forced to think over it.
“Mujhe Dono Chahiye. Apne Career Bhi aur Aap Bhi. Par Kya Yeh Ho Payega?”
“Lekin Mai Apni Puri Zindagi Kisi Aise Insaan ke Saath Nahi Reh Sakti
Jo Mujhe Apne Barabar Ka Nahi Samajhta.
Aadatei Badli Jaa Sakti Hai, PS. Par Soch Nahi!”
Anokhi was right to not believe him because she has understood that the ‘Soch’ has not CHANGED and he will still COMPROMISE for her. Compromise in the long term never brings happiness.
He would have regretted it at some point of time because deep down in his heart, Shaurya would not have been supportive of her dreams. So until he is completely, really compliant with her choices, there would have been no happiness.
Please note: Misogyny is not about not letting women earn the bread… It’s about the ideology that women are somehow lesser than men. Shaurya is not as bad as her Father/Brother/B-I-L, but there are some layers of misogyny in Shaurya that we saw in the library.
“Jaha Pyaar Hota Hai Waha Ego Nahi Hota.”
“Tum Problem Nahi Ho. Solution Ho.”
“Please, Anokhi!”
“Ab Tum Hamesha Ke Liye Meri Ho Gayi, Mrs. Anokhi Shaurya Sabherwal.”
The capture is after he fills her hair partition. He looks smug, confident and determined. So he has something up his sleeve.
Shaurya, despite having a deep sense of understanding about relationships, is not seeing the practicality of the situation. I still don’t know, Shaurya ne kya soch ke maang bhari hai so I will wait till Monday. But it was clear as day that Anokhi was breaking all ties and he could not let her go.
Yes, some things are changing and some things need to change in him, but they also need to change in her. I don’t like the way she walks away when he says something she does not like and they are still talking and you can see the way it frustrates Shaurya as well.
Post Episode Ramblings:
All in all, I am very happy with the episode. I always wanted to see these two talk it out before doing drama.. That has happened, and how!
This is by far the most realistic, practical and meaningful conversation on ITV I have seen on ITV. Breakup without the dhoom-tanana and shit. But with SAAKK I have finally come to terms that they won't give us unnecessary bullshit to give us migraines.
Maine pehle bhi bola hai, I am completely impartial towards Anokhi and Shaurya as individuals. If I see flaws in one, I also acknowledge the other's. Same with their goodness. I love ShaKhi for their individuality, their togetherness and most importantly.... THEIR FLAWS.
Now....
Be honest, how many thought of the 4-year-old Shaurya when this came up? My heart was breaking...
I know, I did!!
The only thing that is different here is then Shaurya couldn’t have done a thing to stop Aastha… Now, he can do something to stop Anokhi.
Umm… I guess he already did 😃
Also, introducing
Shaurya Aag-Lage-Basti-Mei, Mai-Apni-Masti-Mei Sabherwal
