Rewind and Review - Episode 15 - Page 2

The first half of the episode was unbearable. Imagine this is the reality of so many women out there. I just could not. I could not.

To throw your wife out like she is an object?!? To blackmail your daughter into marrying a random guy. To oppress your other daughter.Why the f*** did they whitewash this man. Why could the wedding not happen without him in the end , such people do not change....?!?!

I used to think anokhi was okay marrying anyone as long as she could study. Nope. When I re watched today, nope, she was not okay. She was not happy. Even after University of Toronto. She was just trying to make the best of the situation.

Shaurya, still desperately trying to prove to BM that he is her son. Still seeking validation and love. Still trying to prove it everyday. I love this complexity of character and relationships.❤️

How does Raja giving money for exam fees help Anokhi if she has to get married and fly to Canada? Even though there were a couple of sweet bro sis moments in the recent episodes, Raja’s selfish nature outweighed all those. Is he so naive that he can’t see that his sister is unhappy? After all where does he learn everything from. Of course mr Bhalla. He might be another Mr Bhalla in the making.

Here we know raja is as horrible as his father and treats women exactly as object. He does not care about anything. This is a pure reflection of how we raise men to be entitled. Men are not born patriarchal in nature, we raise them to be so. Kudos Mr. Bhalla.

Anokhi… what a fighter she is. She made sure that she doesn’t hesitate to get an answer for her question about permission for studying further. Here is shown a case of Nri’s trapping the ladki wale knowing their sons weaknesses and real worth. They just pretend to agree and This brings a small smile on Anokhis face and is quick to check on the university. So sad that they are so badly made to believe that Raja’s life is settled too.

But I don't think she was actually happy, she was just making the best of her situation.

Felt really bad for Ss that he believes BM is the best mother. His hatred for Astha has gone to such an extent that he wants to prove this through a few legally invalid documents just to satisfy his ego.

The ever strong sabs ego. But is this legally possible for a 30 yo man?

Had Shaan been a normal father and not sobbed his years away in memory of Astha and taken care of Shaurya in Astha’s absence he wouldn’t have turned so bitter towards Astha. So Jan 10th is the day when BM took over as a mother and started feeding a young ones pure mind and soul with all the negative thinking that one can possibly can. I wonder why Shaan even after SS grew up never revealed the truth about why Astha left? He always said that Astha wasn’t at fault to SS but never revealed, why?

Because it was his fault that he never stood against tejvi to take his son to meet his mother and maybe he did not have the guts to face his son know all this?

I know where the stubborn adamant Anokhi we see on sindoor shadi day comes.

How can women gain any respect from their husbands when their fathers themselves don’t respect and love them at least as a human being?

This is exactly why she fights. She has struggled for basic freedom. She wants love like every human but does not trust it. Nothing at the cost of her freedom

I am in pink

The Bhalla men are writing their ticket to Canada by using Anokhi!! Meeting the Khanna’s requests so that Anokhi can continue studying(lie!), Raja can get a job(lie!), Vineet can set himself up and Beeji and Papaji can follow! I hate them all! Ramesh Bhalla slapped and abused his wife and Raja and Babli stood around and watched. They watched their sister sacrifice her future for her mother’s safety. Anokhi has such an empathetic nature. She couldn’t ever see her Babli di wronged, her Aastha ma’am hurt, or Shaurya in pain. She’s always willing to stand up and stand by someone in duress.

Devi continues to play Shaurya. That 'best mom' cake was cringe....to celebrate January 10th as the day that a 4 year old Shaurya's life feel apart. Imagine the PTSD this man lives with. What is this talk about a nayi pehchaan for Shaurya? He was a Sabherwal always. And what 29 year old needs an affidavit to claim his Badi ma? Shaurya knows it has no legal standing but he's so petty that he has to hurt Aastha. So well trained by Devi.

Side notes:

~ Anokhi had figured out how to get the money for the exam. She wasn't waiting around for her unreliable brother. The girl knows how to figure stuff out. Aastha now knows about SIAC!!! Yay!

~ "Main Shaan Sabherwal nahi hoon, main Shaurya hoon, aap ka beta" It's funny how the first part is true - he didn't repeat Shaan's mistakes. But in the second part, he ended up being Aastha's beta by being the righteous son she would've raised.

~ Anokhi makes a gorgeous bride. I'm glad that at the end, Anokhi got to experience a happy wedding with the love of her life. As Babli said "jo hota hai, ache ke liye hota hai".

Precap: Monty's truth!

Today I felt really sad. In fact since the last few episodes, I have realised the trauma Anokhi has been going through since little. Your mother getting beaten up, your sister having the same fate, your brother turning out like your father, Nobody giving a damn about you, your feelings, your dreams. I shudder at the thought that somewhere in the world some women are daily facing these problems.

The violence of Ramesh Bhallah makes me quiver with fright... Hats off to the makers for choosing the respective casts for these characters, they are incredible...I am slowly appreciating SAAKK for much more than just the love story...of Shakhi

Anokhi being forced to marry so that her mother does not suffer is the ultimate sacrifice a girl can make.

What to say about the Khannas.

Asking the girls family to upgrade your ticket, falsely claiming to be the good in laws, using their Canadian title to sell their son to the everlasting typical indian family who believes that you are their superior because of your geographical residence...

Now for Shaurya, what not will he not try to show his utter gratitude to his BM. The latter is the best villain of the show. I understand in all ITV shows there need to be one, She excels, because she is so classy with it, making it like she is doing a favour to Shaurya.

My heart aches for Shaurya who never came out of the trauma of being abandoned by his parents.

Both our main leads have had traumatic experience in life, one was traumatised with physical violence the other with verbal violence.

On a side note, I watched the film Chapak, recently and I cannot describe how I felt when a guy throws acid on a girl. Nowadays lovers are cutting the throat of their beloved like nothing. There is definnitely a big problem in our society...

me in green!

How ruthless can a person get? How inhuman is that? Intimidate and beat your wife just because she spoke in favour of your daughter. Mr Bhalla uses all his authority to stop babli trying to defend her mother. Does he think that she is his private property that he has every right. She is after all another human like him who has self worth which he doesn’t realise at all. Shame on Raja that inspite of Anokhis repeated requests doesn’t really do the necessary to protect his mother. Finally Anokhi is left with no choice than to give in to Mr Bhallas demands for the sake of her mothers safety. What a sad state of affairs that a grown up daughter has to go through all this and witness such disgusting act of violence. Can’t Biji put in some sense that physically abusing your wife is something not acceptable? I’m sure Mr Bhalla with all due respect to his mother could’ve atleast listened to her. Happy that at least their neighbour put some sense into him.

How sad that the neighbor spoke up before Biji did. Watching early episodes are really making my blood boil about the white washing of Ramesh Bhalla. He was so undeserving of it.

It's not a surprise that Raja is as selfish as his father. When anything goes wrong, it's always the women that are at fault. And he views women as people he gets to use. He clearly doesn't care that his sister is unhappy as long as it works to his benefit to get to Canada.

Anokhi… what a fighter she is. She made sure that she doesn’t hesitate to get an answer for her question about permission for studying further.

This track really played to the fear that people in India have about these NRI marriages. I've heard some bad stories about such things happening. This is made worse by Mr.Bhalla not caring to check out anything and just wanting to get rid of his daughter, not caring what hell she has to live in.

Felt really bad for Ss that he believes BM is the best mother. His hatred for Astha has gone to such an extent that he wants to prove this through a few legally invalid documents just to satisfy his ego.

Shaurya was really brainwashed by Devi. It's a surprising that Shaurya was able to keep his individuality. Shows how significant those first 4 years were for him.

I know where the stubborn adamant Anokhi we see on sindoor shadi day comes.

How can women gain any respect from their husbands when their fathers themselves don’t respect and love them at least as a human being?

Yes!! Anokhi had valid reasons to rip into Shaurya after the sindoor shaadi. Her conditions that she set are based on traumatic events she lived through that everyone just glosses over.

The way Mr Bhalla treats his wife is detestable. I can't understand how a husband thinks he has the rights to beat his wife and also send her out of the house whenever he is angry with her. Even after nearly 20 years of marriage Mrs Bhalla is thrown out of her house. So sad.....The same happened with Gayathri also. Just because she went and met Aastha she was asked to leave the house by BM and Alok.

Raja was giving a shocked and confused reaction. He should have stopped Mr Bhalla but I think he wanted to be in his father's good books. No use of having a grown up son. Mrs Bhalla should have handed him to the police after the Aastha incident. Such an useless son.

Shaurya wants Aastha's signature in some affidavit so that legally he is his BM's son. I don't know if such affidavits are valid. But why he wants this suddenly after 25 years. Is he directing his anger on Shagun towards Aastha or because he met Aastha recently he his thinking of cutting her off from his life.

I think Shaurya is just being petty! He's hurting, so he wants to hurt someone too. He acted indifferent towards Shagun, but he was hurt by her actions which is why he specifically sent her cards and gifts back to her. He could have just thrown it out and she would've never known. But he wanted to hurt her and let her know that he didn't care.......which in turn shows that he actually does care.

Shaurya didn't see his mom for 25 years and now he wants to hurt her like she hurt him with her abandonment. He's such a child at heart. He only knows to deal with his hurt through retaliation.

YESSSSS!! This rewatch is making me go belligerent when it comes to Mr. Bhalla. He was not needed for ShaKhi wedding. And I mentioned in my post that I'm glad Anokhi got to be happy at her real wedding. She really was just going through the motions when it came to getting married to Monty.

Shaurya had a complex relationship with Devi until the end!!

This is what I predicted. At the end of the day, each is selfish and thinking of how they can profit from such a relation. Well, since birth these men believe life revolve around them so that if the daughter can be the step to go up the ladder then so be it. Beeji is the typical old fashioned women who value only men, and who must have felt she is superior being the mother of two sons (I believe Dolly's father is also her son)

These children have been brought up in a house where the father is the authority and they have no say in anything, forget about standing for their sister or mother when they could not stand for themselves. Even Raja is a victim, except that being a man, he tries to get the maximum from the situation.

Anokhi is always about Matarani this Matarani that, In fact she has all the roop of Matarani, when required she can be fierce, and when needed be the mother, sister, partner, she can mend your wound, be your shield, ...

This part is crap. Has no legal value or sense, but we needed to have Shaurya in and Kapurthala to bring her to Chandigar..

Yes! Beeji is riding high thinking she did some great thing by producing two sons and Rama is somehow at fault for producing two daughters. Her stupid beta and pota are the biggest disappointments.

Anokhi really does take on all sides of Matarani. I love her loyal and fierce side the most.

I think the whole Shaurya/Devi equation is being set up slowly for us. These scenes are why Devi has full belief that Shaurya will follow her every instruction. She knows that she can play Shaurya. It's also why when she sees the changes in Shaurya, Devi starts freaking out. Also Shaurya needs to get to Kapurthala so he can save his girl from forced marriage, unintentionally!!

Funny how they treat women like lesser beings and yet depend on them to make 'their' future. **Slow claps** Now that you mention it, I guess it is in her nature to fight everyone wronged of she cares about them. That is who she is. Honestly I would have loved to see a scene where she fought for shaurya and called out shaan and aastha for their mistakes.

I would've looooooved this! Anokhi gave lectures to everyone. She needed to lecture Shastha on the extent they let their child down. Shaan and Aastha were quick to lecture Shaurya and Shaan even called Devi's parvarish into question. But these two really needed to be shown the mirror about how their abandonment is one of the reasons for their son's soch.

Righttttttttttttt. SAAKK had such a great supporting cast!

Alka is amazing as Devi. We never needed an evil Shagun.

Both our main leads have had traumatic experience in life, one was traumatised with physical violence the other with verbal violence.

I remember discussing this months ago when I initially became active here. The physical vs emotional abuse these two endured and who was more messed up!😆

It's not a competition as Anokhi says, "pain to pain hi hota hai....kaam to ek hi karta hai, dil dukhane ka"

On a side note, I watched the film Chapak, recently and I cannot describe how I felt when a guy throws acid on a girl. Nowadays lovers are cutting the throat of their beloved like nothing. There is definnitely a big problem in our society...
