The Fierce, Dreamer,Determined, Strong and Studious Girl Anokhi Bhalla - Keen to achieve her goals in life. Who is not afraid to talk about social issues related to girl education and career . Who have lots of dream in her eyes.

The Most Handsome, Cool and Sassy Shaurya Sabharwal - Arrogant, Savage and Strong Headed who want housewife not a career oriented girl. Though he have fear for his future. He thinks if he get married to a career oriented girl she will not look after their children.

Sabharwal's and Bhalla's lots of untold stories.

We just got the prologue today! So much of the story to unravel. It’s like peeling an onion now!

First episode of saakk 🙂. Anokhi dreams to run away from her home not for any boy or marriage but for studies. She want to study but her papaji wants her to marry. Shaurya's entry it's his engagement. He ignore his dad and first take blessings from bade papa and badi maa then from his dad. So shaurya and his dad relationship is not like a normal father son. Let's see why. And his mother is alive but where is she 🤔

Coming to leads family. Anokhi loves her mom. Anokhi's dad is tc in railways. He consider girls as burden so want her to get married asap. Shaurya's family a joint family. Discrimination of daughter and dil is shown in today's episode. Wo ghar ki beti hai wo kuch bhi pehne tum bahu ho 😡

Just like Ramesh Bhalla differentiates between girls and boys. His audacity to say “boys will be boys” but the instigators are girls in his eyes. And Devi Sabherwal and her double standards.

Anokhi's astha mam she is her strength. She is the one who understands anokhi her dreams and anokhi's strength.

Anokhi's speech 👍. Same time shagun told shaurya about her future study in Cambridge. Shaurya has objection but why. He is a professor director of a college. How come he is objecting. It's fine like if he wants housewife but he can't force his fiance to leave her career and be house wife. Anokhi's speech and contrast shaurya's conditions.

I loved the editing of this scene. So poignant how they would show a ShaSha scene in direct contrast to Anokhi’s words.

It's shaurya aur anokhi ki kahani. It means two will definitely fall in love but how. How a misogynist will fall in love with a feminist or vice versa🤔

Isn’t this such a sad reality about the world? In a binary system, you have a 50/50 chance as being “male” or “female”, yet men will still call a girl a bhoj as if being male is like hitting the lottery for the family. Unfortunately it is in the most regressive of societies.

This is due to lack of education plus people not ready to move on from customs which our ancestors made.

The worst part is women is against women

Watched the episode after reading the reviews here, kind of enjoyed it more now. Very thought provoking issues deftly handled by writers in the very first episode by the contrasting thoughts of Anokhi and Shaurya and their families, but one thing common being both families patriarchal and mysogynistic.

Characters like bhalla parents are so common In our today's society, we need a lot of Anokhi's to support their moms and sisters in fighting for their rights and voices to be heard.

.

So the story begins.

I am more intrigued by the complex relationships that the father - son duo have and the absent mother. Clearly the man is toned down from the promos and has a some emotional trauma. Complex relationships always pull me to a show. Other than than he is definitely an entitled A**. But the walk..Woohoo!

Clearly the rich and the not so rich have different set of rules for women. Women are ornamental or a burden. Really interested to see how that goes. It becomes suffocating to live in such an environment and hence the train dream makes sense. She just does not want to study, she wants to run away. Away from all of this to her dreams like any college student.

Ouch! Way to dump your finance on the day of your engagement. But again, what is with the issue of 'mother'. One thing I liked, as hard as the character of shaurya comes out to be, he is straight forward and honest. And to me it seemed practical to let her go than to drag an unhappy relationship, just that he could have been kinder and better. Shaurya seems to have a lot more going on in terms of his mindset which seems to be influenced. Another highlight, he was impressed and happy for her in first go, he did admit some women managed their careers well along with family. To me his mindset looks more born out of his past than his actual thought process.

What I am really looking forward to..it's the line that they walking on, a professor and a student, how will that work out.

Anokhi is anokhi... idealistic for her age, hiding and fighting for the small things in life. She is us. We have all done that one time or the other. Aastha gives the vibe that she has a bigger role to play. Her hitting her head on sindoor and that scene just made me think that she too has a past.

Lots of foreshadowing.

Hi I watched episode 1 hmm this shaurya dosent even give chance for shagun to explain her side of story properly and he broke the engagement he told he don’t like working ladies 😬😳 and badi maa and bade papa they dint even have chance to shaan to stand beside shaurya uhhh 😬

I think this Shaurya is a result of bp bm ke parvarish with all possible negative things fed into his mind frim the very day his mom left him

Rewatching the episode after reading all these reviews.. It brings in added joy to me as if I m reading a novel.. Thank you all, keep writing 👍🏼

I felt really moved and was in tears when they showed a guy first stand up and applaud Anokhis speech. It was a guy and not a woman or a girl. Really appreciate these tiny moments which have a huge impact.

I am really happy that saakk fd is one of its kind just like our chaand and jugni… not giving up. Really appreciate all the effort fd is taking to keep the buzz alive so that season 2 is possible. From what I see( I’m not on Twitter) tt par bhi they have started discussions from episode 1, right? Happy that I came across saakk.

I really loved the first episode.. I couldn’t appreciate it as much the first time as I whizzed through the episodes till ragging track to catch up and didn’t pay much attention.

Happy that I can do it now because of IF and amazing people like you.

Thank you so much for the update ....❤️ It's feel like a new beginning as I couldn't watch initial episodes....Hotstar is not available in my country...but will try to find a way..
