Me in bold!
Me tooo!! I love reading everyone’s analysis and adding my bit to it. N I wonder how is it that we never run out of things to say!! 
We have doctorates on our leads. There's many that could supply you with episode numbers in an instant(that's not me!) or provide word for word dialogues(again, not me!). I'm here for the discussion portion! I could talk forever about these episodes and what it means in the past and what it means for the future! I also go back and watch old episodes and discover new things and connections.
I agree. He does need a dressing down. Kitna dheet hai banda. Yes that Sabarwal attitude(God!! I hate Devi and everyone who has enabled this attitude in Shaurya and Betty as well). I agree that Anokhi definitely has the complete right to kick his arse over this. But I don’t think he will understand the seriousness behind it, till her pain and experiences comes out in words as well.
Shaurya's really attached to the Sabherwal identity. He keeps also calling Anokhi, Mrs. Sabherwal, lovingly. Remeber how he used to call Aastha, Aastha Sabherwal, with so much bitterness. In the OG, I think the FL gets blackmailed to leave the ML. I could see this happening on SAAKK because Anokhi knows what his family means to him, and the loss of the Sabherwal name would hurt him too much.
Intentions do matter. But consequences are the ultimate deciding factor. I said this, people who have not had toxic parents cannot easily believe or emphasize that even parents can be toxic. That is the pedestal parents are put on. We always hear that parents do so much for their children. Mother’s are selfless, fathers keep their wants aside for kids. Yes, of course there are parents like that. But for every parent like that, there is a parent, who is toxic, abusive, irresponsible, inattentive, narcissistic. The world is not ideal or rosy as many like to believe. Shaurya spent his life as an orphan despite having parents. So, he thinks/or is naive enough to think that all parents, who are there with their kids are better than his. I don’t think Shaurya will ever understand Anokhi’s equation with her parents, her father, till he Anokhi talks about it, or Aastha gives him a picture or better witnesses how her father treats her. (Personally I want a confrontation between Shaurya and Mr. Bhalla, when he is mistreating Anokhi, I hope the Cv’s so that)
Shaurya definitely falls into that category of people that think parents should be selfless and by their kids side....like Alok and Gayatri. He doesn't acknowledge that there are a variety of 'bad' parents in the world.......those that are toxic emotionally, some verbally, and some physically. He got the emotionally toxic parents who left him behind. Anokhi got the verbal and physical toxicity. Who knows which one is worse?? I want that confrontation too between Ramesh and Shaurya, with him being impressed by the rich son in law and Shaurya reminding him that 'I though your daughter Anokhi was dead to you'.
Yes!! For Anokhi, Aastha is her second mother. Someone who is so supportive, inspiring and courageous. So she couldn’t believe Shaurya didn’t love someone like that who is indeed his mother. She didn’t understand that, Shaurya never felt the care, support or attention she did, from Aastha. I am so happy that he finally opened up to her, coz he was not able to refuse her, but it was tearing him apart to walk those steps towards Aastha. Not because he doesn’t love her, or want to be loved by her. But coz he can’t easily forget or forgive all those years he yearned for her. N coz he is still afraid of being rejected/abandoned. N yes! He has always needed acknowledgment of his efforts, coz he never got it as a child.
@underlined: I was watching the episode where he names his dream girl qualities and one was 'someone I can tell my 'dil ki baat' to. And it's happened! He found someone who he felt he could tell 25 years worth of pain to. Anokhi Bhalla is his person who checks off everything on that checklist. AAAAAA that makes me sooo happy!
Oh yes!! When he really understands what she went through, the protective side of him will take to task all those who put her through it.
That scene was so beautifully done. It broke me to see him backing away when she was trying to reach him to comfort him. It was like he did not want the bitter sadness of his life to touch her. And when she just came n hugged him from behind, it felt really peaceful.
Yes! They both need it. N only they can give that to each other. Broken as they are, only they can heal each other.
I was watching KVs interview.....and I loved the part where he said that Shaurya is like a kid and the only person to straighten him out is Anokhi! And that's what we're seeing now. He's being his impulsive self and keeps getting called out for it. Eventually this will sink in! Hopefully before he loses her!
I knew he was aware from Anokhi’s birthday episode, but saying it aloud in front of someone else is a huge step for him. That’s why Anju, I can’t ever forgive Shaan completely, no matter what he does going forward, how much he supports Shakhi, I won’t be able to forgive him completely. For the 25 years of misery and suffocating Shaurya felt, only coz Shaan was so spineless and self absorbed. N I can’t forgive BM ever for suffocating him with this debt!! I want to see her fall, her arrogance fall, her position fall, her over confidence to be broken into pieces, when Shaurya chooses Anokhi and Aastha over her. I know it’s not gonna come soon, but I will wait for that day.
You're soooo right about Shaan and Devi!! There's no real redemption for the damage they've both caused in Shaurya's life. His heart can heal, but just like Anokhi can never really forgive Ramesh, Shaurya can't ever truly forgive Shaan. The damage their parent's decision caused in their lives is done...not these kids will put the pieces back together.
