Rewind and Review - Episode 13 - Page 3

"Hum pyaar ki baat to karhi nahi hai Shaurya, yeh to zid hai tumhara"

Shaurya might not be wrong in what he wants for his life, but putting that ultimatum on another due to his regressive soch is wrong. I'm glad his definition of love changed. He wanted a puppet not a life partner. And from loving with his mind, he learned to love with his heart.

Vineet is absolute trash. He was stopped for the first time by Anokhi in this episode, it won't be the last! Ramesh and Raja are bigger trash for worrying about Vineet's ego more than Babli. And their mom who turns a blind eye to it all. How is Anokhi the only one with a spine? Just like Shaurya got that Kashyap swag, I think Anokhi got some from Aastha too, because the Bhallas are all currently spineless.

The sadness behind Rama's silence and the pain behind Babli's smile is something Anokhi has never wanted to subject herself to. Rama and Babli unfortunately have accepted their naseeb and don't even try to fight injustice unlike Anokhi.

Some quick points:

- Shaurya never liked being lectured by anyone until Ms. Bhalla came along!

-Shagun's badua!! Anokhi might not have any gun the Sabherwals wanted for their bahu, but she has all that Shaurya needed to be his imperfect biwi.

-Raja had a small moment of being happy for his little sister and was willing to help her get the money for SIAC exam.

Precap: SIAC exam! Monty and Anokhi. Aastha and Shaurya meet again!

Thoughts?

Another wah wah for Anokhi Bhalla for standing strong against a physically strong man and fighting for her sister. She is a pataka in true sense that inspite of knowing that her jiju has support of her father doesn’t care and stands a firm ground. Mr Bhalla seems to have been a little bit affected by both Anokhi being inspected by the Nri mother and Babli bring Harassed by husband as we see a slight twitch in his face on both occasions. However he seems to have been submitted to the societal norms they live in.Hats off to Anokhi that she reminds her mother that a mother can never stop fighting for her daughter. She specifically mentions about a mother in this instance as her mother being a woman has gone through the same and can’t and shouldn’t let her daughter go through the same. It is such a shame that in a country where so many goddesses are worshipped, the same witnesses women being subjected to all sorts of atrocities.

To be contrary(for fun), it's interesting to me that Anokhi sees her mom's acceptance of her fate/decision as not fighting for her daughter. But when it comes to Aastha having given up on her son due to her life decisions, Anokhi never judges her. It's a double standard she applies because she's blinded by her admiration for Aastha. Anokhi sees the pain that her mom's decisions have caused because she experiences them herself as well as witnesses them in Babli. But when it comes to seeing Shaurya's pain, she wasn't as empathetic as I would have wanted her to be. She didn't see the same brokenness in him as was in her.

I'll be honest, I don't like this victim blaming. Some women have less choices than others. Everyone is different. It's more important to be supportive and give strength in instances like domestic violence than to point fingers.

I liked the honest conversation about family planning and birth control.

Anokhi was too righteous when she blamed her sister for bearing the violence. She's so confident, which is good, in her ability to make choices for her own life. She'll learn the hard way how some choices are made for us, not by us.

Such a good point. Society likes to give unnecessary advice but not necessary support!!

I always felt Shaurya never really loved Shagun. Their love was very superficial. Shagun maybe loved him but did not understand him much.

The audacity of Vineet to physically abuse Babli when her parents are there. He is so confident that he will not be questioned by anyone. Good that Anokhi threatened to file a police complaint. Anokhi's mother could not meet Anokhi's eyes when she was questioned by her. Both Babli and Rama are helpless.

Shagun's badua was the highlight of the episode. What she wished/cursed happened. How I wish either Shaurya or Shagun had got a flashback of this badua when Shaurya married Anokhi.

Yes Raja was happy when he saw that Anokhi was appearing for SIAC entrance exam. Makers unnecessarily spoiled his character and used him for whitewashing Mr Bhalla.

Oh! I am always super excited for this episode...because... foreshadowing!

I love foreshadowing!!!❤️

Okay...Babli and Vicky...what a beautiful moment captured! The story almost hurts. He loves her, from a distance, respecting her boundaries. Meets her on random chances. Does not follow her like a devdas. Babli and Vicky deserved to finish their story. I am salty.🥺

Vineet is a typical abuser. Thinks he owns his wife, blames her for enticing men, hates when she enjoys or is happy and blames her for his anger and abuse. Typical abuser's pattern. Atleast they did their research well. Sad part was when Bhalla senior took his side. Beating women up is so normalised in the society. It breaks my heart. What have we come to.

Anokhi standing up for her di. She is fierce when it comes to someone she loves. Goa proved it. But on the other hand , she does not understand why her mother and sister are silent. One of the faults that anokhi has, she is unable to get perspective of women who are silent. She is unable to understand why. The way she cradles her sister with softness. I love it when her soft side comes out.

The Raja anokhi bond of 5 mins...where he says he will help her with money. I really though raja would be a nice big brother. So wrong on that account

Now. Shaurya and Shagun!

Was it love? Or was it just comfort and understanding? She is right if he loved her, he loved her from his brain. She did not move him, did not make him him uncomfortable. How selfishly he asks her to throw away her career and the. Somehow makes it about himself. Oh he is such a pigheaded man!! Shagun is right, love is not when the other person does what you say and what you want. That's not how it works. But shaurya has time to learn that.

How on point was her prediction, that one day he would fall for someone completely opposite and inline what his family wants. (I like how they cut the scene to Kapurthala to show a fierce anokhi stand up to men)

And the funny thing is when he actually fell in love with such a girl, he was like an arrow to target, nothing else mattered. There was never a fight in his mind. He wanted to be with her and he made it happen. This makes me think that for the first time he found acceptance and honestly in someone and he refused to let it go.

One thing I did not understand why did he revisit shagun's words at home?

Completely agree! Everyone does not have the strength or the opportunity. Judgement should not come out in such cases.

That was extactly what Anokhi taught him right... "Pyaar mei saath nibhaya jata hai..." She reminded him that he fell in love with Anokhi Bhalla! The woman she is, her dreams, her confidence and her persona...

If she gives that away to be with him, she won't be that woman anymore!

Either Shaurya never loved Shagun or Shagun didn't really take her dreams seriously to agree to such conditions kept forward by him. Maybe both!

The biggest problem in such families is the normalizing of such practices.

It keeps going on and on in a cycle and and people accept it as a part of their life. This is what MOST regressive traditions are based on. Rama Bhalla submitted to her fate because she seen other do the same, now she expects her daughters to follow on those same footsteps. Thankfully, Anokhi Bhalla knows where to draw the line when it comes to such 'traditions'.

Ramesh Bhalla and Raja are the trashiest people I have seen, admitting that there are ppl worse than them... All in the name of male entitlement and toxic masculinity. Rama Bhalla has left no chance to let them believe it either.

-Shagun's badua!! Anokhi might not have any gun the Sabherwals wanted for their bahu, but she has all that Shaurya needed to be his imperfect biwi

I think the only eligibility criteria to be Shaurya Sabherwal's wife is to love him truly, deeply, madly. Beneath that layer of misogyny and arrogance lays a child who craves true love. And fortunately, Anokhi is very loving 😊

Soon Shaurya will realize that ambitious women can love as honestly and loyally as a housewife does.

That is a very good point you raised. Anokhi cannot see any wrong in Astha mam. She has placed the latter on a pedestal and is blind to her any faults.

I feel all mothers in SAAKK have failed in their role as mother... Be it Rama, BM or Asthaa.
