The episode was beautiful with the right mixture of angels and devils. Normally, in an ITV MU, most of the time, my sympathy lies with the FL. Often she is the one who is most hurt. But with this MU track, poor Shaurya Sabarwal got all my sympathies. Anokhi's heart is broken, but she has everyone around her to protect her and support her. She has a Babli di to hug her, mummy ji to sing a lullaby to her, Aasta to guide her, Shaan as a father figure to look up to, Reema as a loving friend, Ahir as a friend. Though she is hurt, she has her own pillows around her that will make her fall softer. the love around her will make her continue even after a heartbreak. It's difficult but she will survive.
But poor Shaurya. Ultimately he is a loner, who fell hard for Anokhi. Before Anokhi happened, he kept his wounds hidden and always put out a brave face to the outside world. Only his Badi ma got a peek into his heart occasionally. Now with the heartbreak, literally no one around him will understand the pain. He has no deep connection with his dad, Badi Ma turned out to be the villain of his love story, Kanchan may understand but she is constrained in many ways. Whom will he go to? Damn, he does not have anyone else to talk to or share his pain. He has to take all the pain in and suffer.
How can a mighty Shaurya Sabarwal with all the arrogance of Sabarwal men can fall this hard for a woman in such a short time? There is only one reason, he was so alone inside that when he found Anokhi, he gave his unbridled love to her. I am not sure, Anokhi understands the depth and desperation of that love. Her love is pure and has the charm of a fragile first love. It's like a silver stream ensconced in a forest and his love is liking a stormy ocean.
I am sure when a lone tear fell from Anokhi's eyes, Shaurya's heart might have broken into a million pieces. He could not protect his fledging love and that would have been difficult for his ego, at the same time he can not react to his Badi Ma. This episode belongs to Shaurya...I really feel bad for him. KV is as usual superb. Deb is an expert in blushing. Loved this whole episode
