When I was younger, I grew up thinking that taking care of home is the primary job for women (I used to watch a lot of ITV with mom, bite me!) When I came into my late teens, I saw a kind of fad going around where being housewife was being "uncool" or in other words, looked down upon. I never understood why though. But as I grew up, I understood things better. My own mom is housewife, so, I know what it is like and what kinda life do I want to live.

About the spice thing, in reality, taking care of the house is so hectic that women want nothing to do with drama 😆 Like you said the other day, ITV lacks originality. Given that, we need to understand that not all home-makers are majboor and bechari.

I stand with your words. Independence to make choice is the key to respect everyone's decision. 👍🏼

I don’t think I thought about male and female roles too much. My mom didn’t work outside the home for the first 10 years of my life. And when she started to, her responsibilities only doubled with outside and inside the home and two kids. My dad has always known how to do house work and cook so he was helpful to her. And seeing that I knew I could not deal with anything less.

I’m glad two income households are becoming a norm in the urban setting. I hope that translates into work at home too. Especially with lockdown, I hope partners see the imbalance of work and responsibilities that females have. I have a lot of hope for the future.
ITV will always lag behind because it’s geared towards a certain audience and to propagate the prejudices actually helps trp. So the trope of staying at home bahu will always be held to a higher standard than the financially independent female.

Akshu , you are killin it with these series! 🙌🙌😍

Like you, I too wished for Gayatri to have more courage when it came to standing up for her self-respect. She’s always been the most good-hearted yet bechaari of the Sabherwal bahus. And I so wished to see her journey post the Alok drama. I’m happy you omitted the molestation charge of Alok. Hate him as much , but somehow it didn’t sit well with me either, cause he was never shown to be lecherous old man. I understand their need for showing it as a part of the story, but it felt forced as the show was ending. 🤷‍♀️🥲

Remember there was this one scene with Shagun where she cautions her of guests overstaying their welcome! That was Gayatri’s seeti-maarofying moment 🤩😁. I wish she showed the same spunk in dealing with BM and Alok but we never got to witness it too much. So thank you for writing this! Loved it. The Bhallaji’s bonus was quite well written too 😍🙌 Keep on keepin on girl 🤗

Amazing updates ❤

The way Gayatri was giving back to the trio was awesome👍🏼

In the second update in that the self realization of Ramesh was very well written 💖

And Thank you for 2 long updates that too together😍

Gaytri trying to make Alok see sense is a treat. When Devi mentioned in one of the episodes that both Gaytri and Kanchan are educated, it was surprising as Gaytree never showed the quality inherent in someone having done further studies.

So your portrayal of those traits in Gaytri is great. I like the fact that it is not a reactive Gaytri but a pro active Gaytri who is slowly removing the shackles of Sabherwal prison and enjoy her role as a mother and daughter in law. Being wife to Alok must be a very difficult task since the latter is a spoilt brat who cannot stand on his own feet. Gaytri was right in telling him he likes the Sabherwal status but not the responsibility that comes with it. In fact his bad habit of trying to please his elder brother and sister in law, has made him the type who cuts corners to achieve things as fast as possible.

Shaurya and Anokhi's happy family life makes me smile as we did not get the chance to see it on TV. Aastha and family pulling Anokhi's legs would be a treat to see. If only ...

The second part about Mr Bhallah, what I like the most is the reference you make to the fact that Mr Bhallah thought that at the end of the day Anokhi eloped to marry Shaurya rather than for studying. That would be more likely the first thought of Mr Bhallah. But him having to eat his words and recognise that his daughter is special is even better...👍🏼

A/N: Tried to give Gayatri the strength she always wished she had... I wished she had! I tried to keep Alok same as the show, as much as I could but many wanted me to not make him a molester. So, I took care of that. This one is probably a little shorter than the previous one, but I don't like dramatic concepts so didn't try to extend it unnecessarily by adding too much masala. 😆 Niche ke surprise hai... 😃

I am touched by the response you guys give me. Thank you so so so much ❤️

A/N 2.0: Surprise me back with your comments and likes!

First stating the obvious, YOU WRITE SOOOOOOOOO WELL!! I love immersing in the conversations and scenes that you create.

Second, love the bonus that we got! Thank you!!

So for Gayatri and Alok, I guess you retracted the whole Priyanka story, and just made Alok a basic ass. Using his daughter to get back in Tejvi's good graces is really low and something Alok would totally do. He's so power hungry that he'd sacrifice any relationship. As much as I wish Gayatri would leave Alok, you stayed true to the story and the characters. She's accepted her fate as a Sabherwal bahu. I also LOVED the glimpse of ShaKhi we got in the story.

The Rami Bhalla story was a nice surprise. I'm glad he wasn't redeemed in your story, just regretful.

Question: Do you see these stories as residing in the same universe or in the SAAKK multiverse??

Can't wait to see who you write on next!

Awesome update loved it loved how Gayathri fought for her daughters right.the bonus chapter was great you get what you are destined for at last.cant wait for the upcoming chapter's please continue soon

UnRes-

Okay here I am.

And I apologise for the delay.🙈

Now coming to the three updates I read. I will talk later about the beauty of it, first I would like to acknowledge how it was needed.

Akshu, you tried to touch those loose threads that kept us hanging while the show completed its run. And not to sound too divulging, I would say we were ignorant too because we were hopeful- and the invested part of our repetitive watching too. But then it didn't happen, disappointment flooded my senses thinking about the countless possibilities the show could have moved forward with but then my love for ShaKhi and the moments and the utmost joy SAAKK gave me was too strong for me to decide and discontinue.

But I felt disconnected. At lot of times, and on lots of scenes and I never stopped myself from sharing my dissapointed as well. I was pretty clear in my head that when I was appreciating the pros of the show it would have been extremely unfair to ignore the cons just like that.

But at the end I never questioned the magic is created, SAAKK was beautiful to watch and appreciate.

There were characters performing, speaking and justifying human behaviour.

There was fiction beautifully messing up my reality.

And I didn't mind. At all.

Because I was enjoying.

And I still do. There are memories to cherish. And scenes to remember. But then there were loop holes, I refused to ignore.

And now how glad I feel when I read these parts rolling up the characters one by one from a crumpled sheet of paper, you splattering the ink of completion on those exact letters which were left half broken, desperate and faded.

The parts were beautiful Akshu, justifying the journey of these characters, creating a successful mirage of how it ended.

Beautifully written! 🍂

UnRes-ed

Yet to read the latest part.

PS- Go and change the reaction on my comment first 🐒
