I agree with you completely. I was actually thinking about it yesterday when Shaurya said that breaking of engagement is not contingent of Anokhi's acceptance but rather BM's health. In other words if Anokhi were to accept the marriage wholeheartedly, Shaurya will still continue with the farce of the engagement until he feels like BM can handle it and expect understanding out of Anokhi which is where the whole "you don't respect me" notion of Anokhi comes in. Frankly I am not even confident that if push comes to shove, Shaurya will man up enough to choose Anokhi over his BM in current situation.
Regardless of how you look at it, the issue boils down to Shaurya's blind trust on BM/BP and they taking advantage of it. Sab family soch is BM/BP soch and they enforce it with iron fist using any method possible. For Shaurya's soch to change, he needs to admit mistakes were made in past and alternative options to solve the problems were not explored and that means BM/BP could have been wrong. In essence his blind trust has to go. That allows him to recaliberate his soch gradually, make attempts to fix issues of past and be the man that is worthy of Anokhi's love. That is a very tall order for now because no one is willing to speak up. Something big and life changing has to happen - I think that is Anokhi finally walking away from him with no hope of reconcilliation or him somehow finding truth about all BM's manipulation.
He has to take the first step for others to step in or help him.
I was annoyed by that dialogue. The idea that he can have it both ways is insulting to Anokhi. He wants to be prioritized by Anokhi, but he doesn't give that same importance to her. His Badi Ma being wrong needs to be made more apparent to him. He called her out after the engagement announcement.....he called her out after she lied about Anokhi visiting him.......And even called her out during her fake sickness/forced engagement.........but he's not piecing those together to understand how all these actions are to keep him away from Anokhi. He's not even entertaining the fact that his Badi Ma is against his decision. Also he refuses to own up to his love in front of her. He did once yell 'I love someone else', but after that he's been mum. He need to call out the manipulation.....do his own emotional blackmail. He really has the power in this situation(he doesn't know it) because Devi is more afraid to lose him than he is to lose her.
Shaurya is really living in a dream world where he gets to stay a good son to Devi and be a good husband to Anokhi. He needs that bubble burst!! He needs to know the extent of the manipulation. I'm afraid that Devi can't be exposed for the sake of the long-term story, so they'll probably make Shagun the culprit and put her aside for the time being. Devi is good at getting herself out of a sticky situation. We saw how creatively she covered up about her health.
That blind trust has to go......but when it does, what will replace it? A lot of Shaurya's identity is tied in with being a Sabherwal.
You're right....Anokhi walking away has to do the trick. Losing her has to be the bigger punishment!
