I absolutely love the show still like they give these amazing episodes in between that I totally swoon.

But the overall track writing is something that puts me off.

It’s like when you zoom in you will find such magical moments but when you zoom out everything seems out of place.


One thing I want to mention is the bridge scene was utter brilliance and his sorry did win me over so a job well done makers.


I feel one drastic change they should have made from Mohor was to not include acp.

Uske wajah se shaurya ka character has gone for a toss. I feel his falling in love phase should have been executed without jealousy factor coming in.

Though the episode where he realises anokhi is whom he is describing was so brilliantly executed.

For me the best part of shaurya was How he had this aura of assertiveness along with sensitivity. He was what I consider an amazing mix between full blown mcp and a sensitive man who is actually spineless in real (think Shaan)

I wanted HIM to be the one guiding HER, since he is the more mature one but look at him now; that Masculine aura is totally gone. I am all up for women taking the lead and I want anokhi to as well but in the future, in other matters But here I really wanted it to be shaurya. That only seemed natural.

Shaurya doesn’t seem like a man anymore that manly aura around him without his ott toxicity was what I loved about him; now he is total man child; and personally such men annoy me in reel and in real life.

His insecurities could have been handled in a much better way while still maintaining that charm around him.

Not the shaurya for whom I made my first ever post in this forum.

But out of all this,

The worst part is I feel anokhi’s side of pain is totally forgotten?!? And it is happening for quite some time now. Just one scene here and there aur khatam?

They don’t give her any monologues to express her pain. I mean her childhood trauma is no less than shaurya’s; it is equally disturbing as well; no focus whatsoever on her trauma.

And they portrayed it so well when she was in Kapurthala; city Badal ke trauma kam ho jata hai kya?

I get ki anokhi is someone who doesn’t tend to dwell in the past but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t felt the trauma and doesn’t have her shares of insecurities.

she is falling in love though gradually but At least give us some monologues naa; what is going on inside her head w.r.t her past, shaurya,Feelings, college, dreams, something?!

Shaurya gets so many monologues ( and I love it) but give the same to anokhi too.

Like how else do you expect audience to connect to her?

They need to give scope for deba to perform;

Yes, There are actors who with whatever little they get elevate the character but they are seasoned and quite experienced.

She is not; so writers should rightly take the effort to give her equally well written monologues that they give to shaurya.

Kv’s acting is a big part that connects us with shaurya but I feel even bigger role is shaurya’s well written monolgues; while forget well written, anokhi doesn’t even get one.

I feel they are hellbent on making anokhi a Rehab centre for shaurya while ignoring her own trauma and her own need to feel that security and love.

I really hope they don’t go that way and catch themselves before delving too much into it.


I hope this was a constructive criticism atleast for the most part; not hating on the show at all; infact it is still much much better that other shows but in aastha’s words: shikayatein bhi unhi se hoti hai jinse pyaar hota hai.


This was in my mind since anokhi has come back to Chandigarh so thought of getting it out of my system.

True !!! Well said..

It was always shaurya centric

Anokhi needs her share of scenes and presence and justification...

Shaurya anyway had family to fulfill his every wish..pamper him...

Anokhi suffered abuses...physical..mental..

They should allow her to grow...

Well..shaurya's manly aura haven't gone at all. Remember that hostel room allot scene? Where he cut bebo kitty's name and order that staff to allow that room for anokhi.


He's just being lovey dovey kinda person in front of anokhi. And that's very common for a person who in his 30 years of life span for the first time is having the experience of real love. Shagun and shaurya was in a relationship but i can bet that shaurya actually didn't love her for real it was infatuation coz for shaurya shagun was that perfect bahu to set with the sabherwal household. But here in anokhi's case everything he is feeling...every moment he's spending for him all these are new to him. With Anokhi he feels the belongings which he has been cravings from the very childhood (after astha left him) so as these all are new and magical for him he just can't let himself behave like a MCP and rise the chance of losing anokhi. Coz he was about to lose her because of his behaviour(that returning kapurthala part) just see what he said today in that car scene? He was literally cursing him for losing his cool infront of anokhi. Coz shaurya totally fear now that a single mistake or rude behave and he'll lose anokhi. Which he can't effort and ANOKHI IS THE FIRST PERSON HE HAS GET CONNECTED TO THIS MUCH IN THIS 30 YEARS OF LIFE.


but all his fear and anxiety will leave once he get a greem signal or confirmation from anokhi too. That the feeling he's having is not one sided that other one feels the same belongings and loved and all.


Another thing i wanna point out...when a man like shaurya falls in love all his weakness circles around that woman. And its real not fictional i have seen a total mcp to behave like a love sick infront of their lady love. Its literally like every single person around him is afraid of him and he is being afraid of his lady love only. Sabke liye to tiger rehte hei bas sahi jaga( S/O or wife or love) ake yeh puppy baan jatey hei.

yes they dont show much from anokhi's pov. Later also they will focus of love story nd relationship between both. I think they will show family drama too but main focus will be on leads story. And in future also they will show both characters pov unlike only super women FL ( like many othr daily soaps shows Super women FL doing all rescue operations in family or other imp work in family🤣)

I think they already had an plan to only focus on Shaurya's character they looked at him as an USP.

As,earlier the name of show was Shaurya- Ek Anokhi kahani,that very clearly depicts Anokhi was more like an sub character,later I don't know whether they realised or was it criticism they changed title and will give an weightage to Anokhi too.

Offcourse now the story focuses on Shaurya but I still have an hope they will focus on Anokhi too....

i guess they wants to show Shaurya witnessing her pasts and her struggles when the clash of his MCP thinking and love will happen,it was him who gave choice to Shagun,now it will be his time.

His time to make choice and bear the pain.And witnessing or coming to know her view,her struggle maybe this will help him to reach a decision.....

And for the part where you said anokhi's character needs more pampering and all. Well wait you will go there. As i said just let him get the green signal from anokhi. He will fight with everyone for her. And also we will see a face off of MR. Bhalla and shaurya soon. Where shaurya will stand against papa bhalla for anokhi.

In the initial episodes it was all about anokhi's family issue..and all. Plus that ragging, cheating matter those are also about anokhi ...(and another thing...remember that cheating matter how shaurya stand against his own bade papa for anokhi...so trust me that manly shaurya hasn't gone at all. ) so it's fear CV is focusing on shaurya's character now. Shaurya is not a total positive character...he's a greay character and he needs all these focus to come out of that grey phase. Let those mcp thoughts of him go!


Have your faith on the writers till now they have executed each plots very realistically and beautifully. So have your trust on them...each character will have their rightful part. Even kanchan's husband yash samr her mother in law gayatri will have a important role. So just wait and see what the do.

Exactly, and not only that her socio economic status too; she has come this far only through scholarships, if she was an average child she would have never got a chance to become independent bcs Her not fit to be called a father would never have paid for education.


Har ek struggle toh kiya hai ladki ne phir bhi Her trauma is treated as if it doesn’t exist.


I really want cvs to focus on this; Yes shaurya as a character has lots of potential but anokhi is no less either if the build up and equal focus is there.

Why can’t they build characters equally well in each track and focus equally on both the leads character.

I can understand and agree with your points regarding Anokhi's character.. It has literally I feel gone down the drain... I want to see her talking to her parents, trying to find out what's happening...

She so casually ignored when Babli's call was disconnected... Without even worrying about Babli who had always been under trauama.. And I found her communication with Babli to be very superficial...


I want to see romance and love story. But not at the cost of downtroading characters...


So far, Shaurya is the only character I feel has been maintained.. Yes, he is toxic and keeps getting angry again and again and again... He knows that's the route to instantly lose Anokhi and yet he does not stop there... He had always been that way!


I just feel bad for his character but don't sympathize with him... It sometimes feels like the only thing he wants is to be understood and heard... And that's exactly where people fail him and it builds up as frustration for him. Shaurya for me is still the same guy who refused her admission... Just that his view about Anokhi has changed, does not mean he has gotten rid of his core characteristics...



But definitely Anokhi is losing those special characteristics of hers...

For me this was one of the most special moments... I liked it more than the one where he stomps in the hostel room... This realization is something I have been dying to see...


I am not sure if confirmation from Anokhi will increase any amount of faith in their relationship... He is so used to seeing people he loves go away.. It might not be too different with Anokhi... His fear of losing her will probably even jeopardize her career... Hope we see Astha returning to take care of her son soon.. 😭

Another thing i wanna point out...when a man like shaurya falls in love all his weakness circles around that woman. And its real not fictional i have seen a total mcp to behave like a love sick infront of their lady love. Its literally like every single person around him is afraid of him and he is being afraid of his lady love only. Sabke liye to tiger rehte hei bas sahi jaga( S/O or wife or love) ake yeh puppy baan jatey hei.



I totally understand and empathise with every emotion shaurya is feeling (trust me there is no disconnect in that aspect; writers and kv have done a brilliant job on that)

(Though the way you worded his emotions is praiseworthy, loved reading it)


@bold: I am not saying him to behave like mcp ; I think you misunderstood; what I meant was the manly aura; idk how to describe but it was there in initial episodes, that aura isn’t one like kitty Bebo hostel scene you brought up. It was the overall charm. The body language, his way of talking ,calm yet firm, his stance, tough yet, his persona, soft and firm. Sensitivity with dealing with issues but still maintaining the control of the situation. Idk man but I totally fell for that whole aura.


@blue: yes to all of that

But I still feel execution could have been more balanced. he can totally be pampered but making him seem like totally lost takes away a lot of intensity from the intense love story that we were promised. At this point does it even feel like an intense love story?

All this Looks good in teenage love stories but not in intense love stories like this; like where is the intensity; their first platonic hug and interactions surrounding it were more intense imo.

He was so vulnerable in the bridge scene tab bhi the aura was there.

Shaurya can be as intense as shaurya sabherwaal, I don’t want cvs to make him a man child to highlight difference Between both his sides; we already get he is different around anokhi no need to make him seem like a lost puppy. That’s my only point. One doesn’t forget their one aspect of personality altogether while falling in love.


@red: I have seen fair share of mcp’s myself and 1 toh very very closely And they are actually worst to their wives ; what you are saying Might be true, but Abhi tak I am yet to see someone like that;

but I feel the way you described seemed more like you are describing angry young men since mcp’s in real life are obv misogynistic so obv they are going to demonstrate it more in front of their wives and hence be worst to them whereas It isn’t necessary That angry young men are mcp’s too. Anyway as they say our experiences shapes our opinions so to each their own.

I would like to here more from you though, if you want to add something.

Anyway, to me shaurya doesn’t seem like a typical mcp, misogynistic tendencies yes but still somewhere a gentleman (I can never not appreciate writers for writing this soch and personality so well which is the crux of the show) ;

But yeah I don’t think the last para applies/fits him.
