I honestly feel the entire episode was a setup to the story that would follow. The fight and the struggle. Be it the Bhalla house or the sabs!

Hit a woman physically, emotionally or verbally, it hurts as we are human beings. And now we can understand why Anokhi is so adamant on certain things. Why she runs away from anything that cages her. She wants to fly because all she has seen is wings being clipped. Also, this also explains why she fell for shaurya because he was the first man to acknowledge her for more than a 'Bhoj'. He hated her but not for being a woman but for being loved by her mother. Now I can see why the chemistry crackled.

The fabulous sabs...huh...kanchan does not want to fly she just wants love and respect and a little happiness. I am glad irrespective of how that house was, she still managed to remain her bubbly self. She infact deserves better in her husband who just never was there for her. I still feel slightly sorry for her.

No words of Bhalla senior, can't describe the anger. But unfortunately it's not uncommon to hit children which makes me wonder why? Why do we think hitting anyone will do them any good? His failure and scratches on his pride always land on the females. This is the story of so many toxic men! I just can't!

@bold: I sooooo agree. Shaurya's innate goodness came through to Anokhi. Like you said, his envy came out as anger toward Anokhi, but his goodness came out as care and support. Anokhi falling for Shaurya wasn't fast or unusual to me. I will forever love how she could shut him up and make him listen to her lectures!!

Last when he agreed for marriage I couldn't understand him. Really is it easy to change the nature of a person ?

@bold: I agree with you on principle. But the issue is her father is the only one who makes money in the house. How would the house run without his job? So instead of just abuse, they would also become homeless. This is why it's important for Anokhi to be independent and stand on her own two feet and have the ability to walk out if she needs to, unlike her mother who has no choice but to suffer.

Yes I understand. Anokhi also knows this and that is the reason she gives importance to her career and financial independence. If not registering an actual complaint ,Mr Bhalla should at least get a warning. But what happened in the end? As you mentioned in your post all his mistakes were white washed. I really hope all this is again addressed in S2.

An episode filled with taunts and regressive minded people except for a named few.

Mr Bhalla.. a shame to fatherhood. The way he slapped his grown up girl( Babli) is such a disgraceful act which can never in any circumstances whatsoever is redeemable and forgiveable. A father is always protective of their children in all situations but here he does the exact opposite of reminding babli that inspire of the treatment she gets from her husband she hasn't mended her ways. He feels cursed, humiliated and miserable to have given birth to girls.

The way he beat up Anokhi... Atrocious. Anokhi you go girl. Every Mr Bhalla needs an Anokhi. She takes a firm stand for herself remembering Asthas words that you should learn to respect yourself first. Babli is so intimidated whereas Anikhi is shown to be perseverant and resolute.

The groom's family takesevery opportunity to taunt Mr Bhalla making him more bitter and furious.

Now to add to the list of taunts is Laali's.

Next is the turn of the elite sabh family which is not so elite in true sense. I feel they are even more regressive in their thinking than the Bhallas considering their position in society and the people they get along with. Running a prestigious institution didn't really make them any better. They are a bunch of ppl who mask their truefaces in front of the world.

I think Gayatri is the only one who in true sense treats daughters and daughter-in-law law the same. While the rest of the family criticise her for dancing Gayatru helplessly looks on. Once again we get to see that expectations from a daughter in law are different to daughters.

I wished to see how SS would have reacted to the family blaming Kanchan for dancing. This was something going on in my mind through out the scene.

Now coming to the present, I would have been happier if they didn't redeem Mr Bhalla. Marriages happen sometimes without parents consent. They could've shown SS and Ab discussing about her father and SS comforting her. There would 've been more content if at all there is a S2.

These early episodes really set up a nice foundation for the later content of the show. Mr. Bhalla's ucaring behavior toward Anokhi really explains why she had a hard time forgiving him later; and in my opinion, he was forgiven too easily. Throwing Vineet out during the haldi doesn't negate the amount of abuse that Babli suffered. So much of Mr. Bhalla is irredeemable.

You're right that not being born a Sabherwal, Gayatri is much better at treating her beti and bahu equally. I hate that Kanchan just stood there and took it all. I hate that Yash is so absent. And I too would have liked to see what early Shaurya would have done in such a scene.

I think Mama Bhalla said that having his Raja beta turn out to be such an ass made Papa Bhalla regret his behavior towards his girls. That's convenient!

Anokhi decided to forgive so many people throughout the show, which really annoyed me. Forgiving her abusive father was bad, but still her decision. But to forgive Anmol for molestation, when he could've repeated that on someone else. Then forgiving Priyanka for lying and not prosecuting Alok for harassment didn't sit well with me. Even with Vineet, after kidnapping, he was still let out on bail. The Indian legal system is apparently too weak! In an attempt to tie up loose ends and finish tracks, they compromised on doling out actual punishments.

Episode 7:

Mr.Bhalla slapping his grown up and married daughter is so disgusting.Slapping daughter or anyone to that matter is not correct.His taunting words to Babli justifying Vineet's abusive behaviour is worse.Being a father he should protect his children.

He is feeling Shameful for Nikki's absence and clown and family insult Anokhi's character and still he is requesting them to consider her as prospective DIL...shame on such fathers who are willing to get rid of their daughters to such people with regressive thoughts.

Laali is a jerk with capital J.Such people are responsible for forced marriages in our country.He says Nikki wont ever get good Rishta....really Laali...?You can never get anyone close to Shaurya Sabherwal...Pinniyaan khao aur apna raasta naapo.

Beeji...haanji....Oh she is adding fuel to Mr.Bhalla's anger.Abusing Daughter in law and grand daughters being a woman....what an idiotic personality.

The Bridge scene is a turning point in Anokhi s life.

Today we saw a vulnerable mentor and a strong prtoege.What a scene!Kudos to Deepa mam and Deba.Anokhi 's reason for being headstrong is shown here.She was blessed with courage by Goddess herselves and she will fly no matter what and do whatever she wants.

Aastha's words:To achieve dreams you need to break free the shackles and usher forward.Whatever is left behind you have to sacrifice that.No pain No gain.

Anokhi for the first time saw a meek Aastha.

Shaurya remembering incidents while going back shows he is affected too.

The way Nikki handled angry Mr.Bhalla.....hats off girl.She was hurt in the process too but i guess she has become thickskinned.Her bicycle crushed,trophy thrown,insults hurled,physical injuries did not seem to waiver Nikki puttar even an inch from her goal.Sherni Anokhi.....her eyes filled with more determination .....tigress indeed.

Bhalla treated daughters badly.I would like to see how he treats his DIL.

Completely Contrasting behaviour of so called sophisticated Sabherwals blaming DIL s of the house for enjoying herselves.The difference between daughters and Daughter in laws is shown here by blaming other's daughters for silly things and encouraging daughters of the house for same.Alok and Tej's words are horrible.

Gayatri chachi are you willing to take tutions for patience training programme? If yes i would like to enroll myselves.

Devi and Tej worried about Shaurya and Aastha's pic.

Precap:Bhalla insulting Aastha.Is it only me who do not watch Bhalla abusing his wife and daughter scenes?

Ya it's difficult for me too to watch the abuse scenes .They are too harsh and I really feel bad for rama bhalla more than the girls because a woman like her has been in this hell hole for most of her life and will most likely be in it for the rest of her life unless she speaks up .

Raja beta to starting se hi useless tha fir bhi papa bhalla usko support karte the because wo BETA hai.

Wow, Just finished watching the episode. Anokhi was such a force of nature, it felt like the episode had just started and it was already over.

Now for Monty and family, the lesser said the better. All of us must have had this experience of having family coming from abroad and behaving like they are superior. I am talking here about the situation some 30 years back. Now relatives from abroad dare not show the same 'superiority' complex since there has been so many of the family who have studies abroad etc. Monty family is the typical 80's NRI family behaviors. They will only act as a catalyst for Anokhi to spread her wings.

Ramesh Bhalla- typical patriarch who believes women are nothing but a burden. The way he slapped Babli and the fact she was ready to accept it shows the type of relation that exist in that family.

His rage when Anokhi came back ! If it could be touched, I bet we would all feel it. The fact that he vented his anger on the bike initially showed how much he tried to control himself, but the look that Anokhi gave him was the trigger that made him beat her up.

There are usually two possibilities in such situations, the girl should just say sorry and go to her room or stay put and face the consequences. Anokhi seems to be the second type of girl. In the process not only she endangers her life but she also risks her sister's and her mum's life in the process. id this a sign of her self respect or selfishness?

I felt tired and beaten at the end of the episode. Since I started watching the serial quite late, and missed the intial introduction, this episode was a shock to me. Especially the violence...

Now for the \sabherwal, What a bunch of assh****, sorry for my french.

What type of people are these who are running an education institution and have the indecency to say to a person that a daughter in law and a daughter are different. My blood boiled. And this is what Shaurya has been brought up with? The two girls BEbo and Kitty, what are they learning in this type of household, that they can get away with anything?

I am still in shock with the violence of Ramesh Bhallah.
