I had got little irritated with Babli during the Goa track when she was constantly asking Anokhi to be away from Shaurya. But after seeing this episode I really understand the concern she had for Anokhi. She is protective of Anokhi and was one of the main reasons that Anokhi could escape her marriage to Monty.

One child was crying for help. Another was crying for attention.

Anokhi just wanted to be heard and yet Raja called their father and her Papaji threatened her mother. What is a girl to do but feel hopeless about her choices? Her sister and mother to her rescue! Jhot jala and mata rani delivers! I'm glad Babli Di is the one to hear the recording and show it to their mother. I never noticed how much of a sacrificial nature Anokhi had in the beginning....how ITV heroine of her! Where Anokhi fell weak, the two women in her life stood tall for her.

Shaurya was like a child screaming silently for attention. "Main aapka beta nahi hoon, Main Shaurya hoon" "Yeh naam mera diya hua hain" I love the change of Aastha from sad in one moment to righteous in another. She won't let anyone take her down, even her own son. She has her self respect intact. Shaurya wanted to challenge his mom. But is he secretly happy that she didn't sign the affidavit?

Side notes:

~ DJ and Billo fall and catch moment! They built that story so slowly only to be an adhuri kahani!

~ And that last dig about Devi that Aastha took.......I wish we had seen an elaboration of that. Who stole Shaurya? Why? How?

One thing I am absolutely loving with this rewatch is the parallels I missed first time around. I don’t think back then I appreciated this, that how both of them were in their own way crying out.

Anokhi just wanted to be heard and yet Raja called their father and her Papaji threatened her mother. What is a girl to do but feel hopeless about her choices? Her sister and mother to her rescue! Jhot jala and mata rani delivers! I'm glad Babli Di is the one to hear the recording and show it to their mother. I never noticed how much of a sacrificial nature Anokhi had in the beginning....how ITV heroine of her! Where Anokhi fell weak, the two women in her life stood tall for her.

Raja is perhaps my biggest disappointment. Granted that he grew up seeing his mother and sisters being treated as a non enitity. But how is it that he has no feelings at all towards his sister? For a culture which considers Rakshabandhan to be so important, where is the brother to rescue.

If anything Anokhi should tie that rakhi to her sister, to Babli. Who probably couldn’t stand for herself, but stood up for her sister.
And Anju, I don’t think she was trying to be sacrificing or mahaan. No daughter can see her mother bearing the brunt or facing abuse for herself. Anokhi wanted to be independent, not just for herself. But also her mother and sister. So, how would she step on either of them to achieve her dream. And yes, when she fell weak her sister and mother stood tall for her. It was the most courageous thing they did.

Shaurya was like a child screaming silently for attention. "Main aapka beta nahi hoon, Main Shaurya hoon" "Yeh naam mera diya hua hain" I love the change of Aastha from sad in one moment to righteous in another. She won't let anyone take her down, even her own son. She has her self respect intact. Shaurya wanted to challenge his mom. But is he secretly happy that she didn't sign the affidavit?

Here, both of them were not wrong, neither were they right. Shaurya is not wrong wanting to challenge her, coz maybe he was expecting her to refute him, tell him her reasons. But he was wrong in his disrespect towards her. Aastha is not wrong in standing up for herself and her self-respect, but she is wrong in expecting Shaurya to understand her, without giving him any reason to. Of course he was happy she didn’t sign the affidavit. Like you said this whole affidavit thing was just another act to satisfy the child inside him, screaming for his mother. To keep that hope alive in that child. Shaurya has never hated his mother, not for a second. He has been hurt, angry, frustrated, irritated and downright disrespectful. But never hated her.

Side notes:

~ DJ and Billo fall and catch moment! They built that story so slowly only to be an adhuri kahani!

Hope we get their story in season 2.

~ And that last dig about Devi that Aastha took.......I wish we had seen an elaboration of that. Who stole Shaurya? Why? How?

This is where Aastha frustrates me. Why talk in circles? At least later we should have gotten an elaboration on her words, when mother son reunited. Shaurya should know what his bade papa and Badi ma have done.
