I may be accused of putting too much on Shaan's shoulders, but I have seen a example of unconditional love, from a certain Shashank Malhortra, which influenses my views on this matter😃😳.....
Several things have emerged which really show us that, there is more depth in Shaan than just the spoiled burthal he portrays.....We know all about Khanak and the things she has endured and can see her turmoil, because she open with her emotions and direct most of the time....Though it has been said jokingly in the forum, that she is getting the KIT virus ( Khandelwal Indirect Talk virus😆)....Plus it is natural for her to be shy, considering her nature and what she has been through...
Sareeta once spoke about Shaan's convinction and how he always stands by the decisions he always makes himself....And this is true, once Shaan decides to do something he always commits to it....Wether marriage for neccessity or taking responsibility for Khanak....But even in this his own will is not clearly stated....He takes a stand, but when sometimes, the right thing is obvious.....But credit to him he has a heart of gold and always tries to do what is right, never deliberately hurts anyone....
I was thinking about a quote, Nitya will have to help me with this, ' Meeting you was destiny, falling in love was beyond my control,......'.......It was on one the signitures, of the Iktrara promo.....
My point is Shaan does stand by his decisions, but to a certain extent he still lets destiny and other people take most of the responsiblity....
Hence he gave in too easily to Madhvi's persausion and left their kismat in Khanak's hands.....He is afraid to make the decisions on his own merit....Perhaps the tarot card reader was right, he doesn't trust himself and so he doesn't trust others....But his logic is, aleast if he listens to others, the burden is shared and so he can't be faulted....As Mahi, Amrita or Priya said it's part of his basic nature and it's who he is and it's great the CVs have shown a continuation of this....Faults and all we love Shaan....
But what made him like this ?....Could it be his upbringing?....Becuase he was never given the opertunity to make and learn from mistakes and grow up?....Or did the the accident and Suraj's death, affect him so deaply, that he can't trust himself to do anything right?....The fact that he has become so resposible is greatly due to Khanak's influence....He even said this in his love letter.....His confidence, his inspiration are from her.....So once again his fear is back, bacause he has lost his support....
But as Mahi said Khanak is right to try and win Shaan back by love and by not telling him about what others did....Beacuse love on it's own should be enough, it should be unconditional.....In that sense this is a test for Shaan's love and a test to see if he is brave enough to take dicisions on his own....As a maha purush once said ' Pyar to kar leya, toh nebhana to paregahi '😃.....And an even greater maha purush has said ' Love is not love which alters, when alterations find.....'.....
During the propasal scene Shaan said he can only change himself so much and that Khanak will always have to handle him.....Thats fine, we should be loved for who we are and Shaan is still the same, but his attitute to life has improved.....Khanak has accepted him as he is and now it's Shaan turn to have a direct talk with her and conquer his fear and ego....

there is a saying ki love changes any person it implies here this is because of his love for khanak he changed himself as he once said for u i wil change and become responsible. because of her he was able to face the truth and he came to know that he is incomplete with out her she is one who filled the void in his life.

Lovely reply Jyothi 😊 and yes Shaan did change for Khanak and became more responsible....But she also allowed him to be himself, thats why, like you said, without her there is a void in his life.....As he said he lost his best friend too....All the more reason for him to fight and in a way it's good Khanak mentioned their friendship.....

Well May, glad you came with this topic and you have expressed everything so beautiful👏👏👏
'Meeting you was destiny, falling in love was beyond my control'...I might not be able to explain this phrase so well, but let me try. It's a clear fact that Shanak was bound together by destiny, with or without their will doesn't matter at all. If he didn't happen to go there, they wouldn't have met. So what more could destiny does for them? They could have avoided the marriage, but it didn't happen. Falling in love is beyond anyone's control. If any one could have controled it, Khanak could have done it. But no matter how much she tries to run away from him, she gets more attached to him.
I think that there might be problems with his upbringings. I agree with the next point too, he was never given a chance to learn from his mistakes. May be his family always made him to accept his mistakes and always scared him telling that he will repeat the same mistake over and over again.
He seems to be easily controlled by others, be his mom or his wife. He doesn't want to think straight to know what could everything actually leads into. He needs to increase his self confidence more and to think twice before he acts. He needs to think out of the box as well.

😆😆😆😆Shashank...😆😆😆 one or the other of Ekta hero's have ruined all of us in a way.....😆😆😆 So Shashank is yours....😆😆😆😆
Several things have emerged which really show us that, there is more depth in Shaan than just the spoiled burthal he portrays.....
Exactly....I always beleived him to be a person with a Golden heart....and he still is...just no confidence in himself...that will come with time...all spent with Khanak...😉😆😆😆
We know all about Khanak and the things she has endured and can see her turmoil, because she open with her emotions and direct most of the time....Though it has been said jokingly in the forum, that she is getting the KIT virus ( Khandelwal Indirect Talk virus😆)....Plus it is natural for her to be shy, considering her nature and what she has been through...
Agree...her natural shyness...
Sareeta once spoke about Shaan's convinction and how he always stands by the decisions he always makes himself....And this is true, once Shaan decides to do something he always commits to it....Wether marriage for neccessity or taking responsibility for Khanak....But even in this his own will is not clearly stated....He takes a stand, but when sometimes, the right thing is obvious.....But credit to him he has a heart of gold and always tries to do what is right, never deliberately hurts anyone....
I always held the same view as her (Sareeta)...he does everything striaght from his heart..even in Dulwadi when he suggested Khanak's marriage it was in a way for her own good...in his view....and through all that he did stand by it...thus showing his strenght of sticking by his decision....his going after Khanak, getting her back..all show his strong will and determination...even he had a dialogue after winning the bet ..Khanak put to get her back home...remember , in the taxi he thinks to himself that ppl always underestimate him and what he can do...so true....
I was thinking about a quote, Nitya will have to help me with this, ' Meeting you was destiny, falling in love was beyond my control,......'.......It was on one the signitures, of the Iktrara promo.....
My point is Shaan does stand by his decisions, but to a certain extent he still lets destiny and other people take most of the responsiblity....
True...though he does not beleive in it all..he still lets go to easily....when he faces obstacles...or is brianwahsed to think otherwise...as his ego takes over or his insecurities or maybe fear of faileur. He is scared to trust his instincts...his gut feeling as he never had an occassion to test tehm or even try them out as all his decisions have always been made by his mom or ad..more mom it seems who babied him till the end and is still trying to do it.
Hence he gave in too easily to Madhvi's persausion and left their kismat in Khanak's hands.....He is afraid to make the decisions on his own merit....Perhaps the tarot card reader was right, he doesn't trust himself and so he doesn't trust others....But his logic is, aleast if he listens to others, the burden is shared and so he can't be faulted....As Mahi, Amrita or Priya said it's part of his basic nature and it's who he is and it's great the CVs have shown a continuation of this....Faults and all we love Shaan....
Yes we do as hes more human that way...don't we all have our own faults too....love his impefections alot....😆😆😆
But what made him like this ?....Could it be his upbringing?....Becuase he was never given the opertunity to make and learn from mistakes and grow up?....Or did the the accident and Suraj's death, affect him so deaply, that he can't trust himself to do anything right?....The fact that he has become so resposible is greatly due to Khanak's influence....He even said this in his love letter.....His confidence, his inspiration are from her.....So once again his fear is back, bacause he has lost his support....
Yes Suraj death could be one factor...or it could be so many...mainly his upbringing I think.,.....where he was pampared so much that he never had to make a decision and stick by it...be responsible...etc...thus he does not trust his won decision now...thus the lack of trust in himself...Khanak always gave him this trust...to ebeleive in himself..and now he has in a way lost that..but he needs to find it fo himself now....
But as Mahi said Khanak is right to try and win Shaan back by love and by not telling him about what others did....Beacuse love on it's own should be enough, it should be unconditional.....In that sense this is a test for Shaan's love and a test to see if he is brave enough to take dicisions on his own....As a maha purush once said ' Pyar to kar leya, toh nebhana to paregahi '😃....😆😆😆😆 I know whaich MahaPurash said this.....😆😆😆😆.And an even greater maha purush has said ' Love is not love which alters, when alterations find.....'.....🤣🤣🤣 And I know which MahaPurash this one is too....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Completely agreed with Mahi...love needs to be unconditional..adn its about time as I have said..that Shaan trust himself, his decisions, and fight for what he truly wants....
During the propasal scene Shaan said he can only change himself so much and that Khanak will always have to handle him.....Thats fine, we should be loved for who we are and Shaan is still the same, but his attitute to life has improved.....Khanak has accepted him as he is and now it's Shaan turn to have a direct talk with her and conquer his fear and ego....
Eggactly..its about time Shaan fight for his love....he gave up to easily....lettin g his ego, his hurt and his mothers bainwash take over what he knows deep inside....what he beleives....its about time they showed him fight for his love, trust himself to know what he sees ...knows etc is true...that he can trust himself, his instincts..etc.

Loved reading it and commenting dear....wonderful post by you *muwah & hugs*

hey may dear tht was a superb soulful post.
i have nothing more to add than amrita's and krishna's replies...
But one thing for sure is shaan's upbriniging is at fault It has has never shown him the difficult side of life he has always got whtever he had wanted never took up responsibilities and was never serious on to anything.
so now when the real test comes he is so much afraid to exercise this brain and heart.Just he wants the situation to become the best but doesnot know how to achieve it.Like u have said in short he is afraid of failures.
on the other hand khanak 's upbriniging has always showed her the diffficult phase of life so when it comes to the testing times she is able to take it better.
now khanak has been doing a lot
.it is also for shaan to sit back and think what her actions do really m ean and try and show his love for her.But he is giving it up with that single brain wash of his mummy i guess that is so real of him he gets carried away easily.
me must come out of his own shell soon...that is only way out...Even the tarot card reader had asked him to be free of male ego and spell out his love for khanak but alas hee never believes min all that and in himself.
Madhvi;s influence is there for lot in him...he is not like his dad and akki.He must be honest and tell natasha that the proposal was not meant for her.This is irrespective of khanak's love for him.
he though with a golden heart hurts people a lot through his confusion.natasha has to be answered.

Oh May, such a thoughtful, insightful post.👏👏 agree with all that you expressed so beautifully...... you are right...hats off to the CVs for conjuring up this character who is real...with all the flaws, insecurities, doubts that a real person has........and even with all that, he ends doing the right thing most of the time.
Luv you, luv ShaaNak and luv Shashank........and, how could I forget, luv Shakespeare😃😃

Almost everone on the thread knows him ,but I am clueles May who is Shashank Malhortra ?
Several things have emerged which really show us that, there is more depth in Shaan than just the spoiled burthal he portrays.....
Shaan is good person at heart and capable of taking his decisions and stands in life but very low in self confidence in his own goodness .He is more matured than he shows .He gave Khanak the freedom of being herself(understands Khanak has gone thru a lot and doesnot want her in any more pain) ..Khanak opened up slowly under his frenship and love and is becoming the same Khanak from Dhulwadi days before her marriage..
And this is true, once Shaan decides to do something he always commits to it....Wether marriage for neccessity or taking responsibility for Khanak....But even in this his own will is not clearly stated....He takes a stand, but when sometimes, the right thing is obvious.....But credit to him he has a heart of gold and always tries to do what is right, never deliberately hurts anyone....
He really did take a stand for Khanaks happiness from very start -he had suggested her second marriage...When Madhvi way throwing Khank out of house(just after marriage) , though shaan was angry on khanak , he desparately tried to stop his mom..What I really liked - Shaan till now has loves Khanak the way she is ,never being embarassed about her not knowing english in front of others..infact he finds them cute.. Remember when he had said to Nattie that what if Khanak is from village she is also human...Thats one among many things that endears this character to me.
Faults and all we love Shaan....
He can be impulsive and brash at times but is caring and good human...So we love him..
But what made him like this ?....Could it be his upbringing?....Becuase he was never given the opertunity to make and learn from mistakes and grow up?....Or did the the accident and Suraj's death, affect him so deaply, that he can't trust himself to do anything right?....
Till now either his family and loved ones have treated him like a naughty kid who is prone to mistakes and they show their greatness/goodness by forgiving him ..Or he is irresponsible and they bail him out of troubles.too many avenues to be spoiled..Suraj's death too had shaken his trust in himself..when almost evryone in family and his girlfriend had taunted him on that mistake ..
The fact that he has become so resposible is greatly due to Khanak's influence....He even said this in his love letter.....His confidence, his inspiration are from her.....So once again his fear is back, bacause he has lost his support....
Agree with you ,with Khanak who has full trust in his abilities and doesnot hesitate to point out his mistakes but loves him with all his faults..Shaan had developed more confidence in himself..But now when he is thinking he is losing her ,his self confidence also taken a hit..he is succeptible to fall for other people's advice..
Beacuse love on it's own should be enough, it should be unconditional.....In that sense this is a test for Shaan's love and a test to see if he is brave enough to take dicisions on his own....As a maha purush once said ' Pyar to kar leya, toh nebhana to paregahi '😃.....And an even greater maha purush has said ' Love is not love which alters, when alterations find.....'....
Yes there being with each other should be unconditional...Oh! I love both the MahaPurush and the 'even greater maha purush' for the gyan 😆
Khanak has accepted him as he is and now it's Shaan turn to have a direct talk with her and conquer his fear and ego....
For Shaan its time to put some fight for his love and he should overcome his fear and ego.Khanak is a shy girl so he has to meet her midway.

Loved reading your post ....😊
