Rama Bhalla finally stood up for herself and Anokhi!! Ramesh had the audacity to say "dafa ho jao yaha se". But Rama's reply that she would get reparations for her mazdoori deserves applause. She stated facts and shut her husband up. Even Biji ran after her because Biji knows that her son and grandson won't take care of her. Why do women fawn over their sons knowing the reality? A man who treats his wife and daughters like shit doesn't have any real respect for his mother either. I wanted Rama to speak up against Biji and truly leave.
I wanted Rama to leave as well. But I knew she would come back. It’s conditioning and it’s also not easy! And that mazdoori taunt was so on point. I loved that she stated facts without mincing words. Women like Biji consider themselves superior to women like Rama, coz they produced sons instead of daughters. She has never been subjected to taunts and humiliation like Rama has, so she has no empathy for Rama. Only selfish needs.
The entire Anokhi entering SIAC for the first time sequence was great. The wonder in her eyes when she looked around. Shaan, Pandey, and Ravi coming through for her. Shaurya's watch was still on her hand as well. Mata rani was watching over her as 'Ek Zindagi' played. And the lyrics were so apt! And the awe with which she stared and traversed the library and even mooned over the books. She voluntarily read books and magazines. These choti choti khushiyaan.
It was such a feel good sequence, especially after everything she endured in the past few episodes, it was so good to see her happy. The way she was taking everything in and her joy was beautiful to watch. Anokhi is me, with her reaction to the library!! My eyes lit up exactly like her when I enter library/bookstore. N the song, is such a happy song!! 😍😍
Shakhi scene will continue in the next episode so will fangirl over that then. Just want to mention that Shaurya's walk is slow motion and stan worthy! There's a reason that the fandom drools over it. Shaurya's anger encountering Anokhi's sweet face . Official ShaKhi meet cute! How many "meetings" have they had now?
Shaurya in that turtleneck sauntering with swag and attitude is one of the highlights!! You are right, no wonder the fandom drools over him.
And sigh! Their first official meeting.
Side note:
~ It was nice to see Babli take on some of Anokhi and Rama's strength with her. This is why women supporting women raises up the gender in times of necessity.
Exactly! I really wish we didn’t have to reiterate why women need to stand with women, not against them.
~ In the library, we get a peek of Shastha's name carved on the shelf. These two always looked out over Anokhi.
Precap: ShaKhi confrontation!! Can't wait!
Main to badalon se tur jaungi
Main to apna he sur paungi
Hain jo crazy crazy sapne mere
Saare chunn ke main bunn aaungi
Haan maana iss duniya ki
Hoon hi nahi main
Apni he duniya banaungi
Ke ek zindagi meri sau khwahishan
Main poori, main poori, main poori karaan
Ek zindagi meri sau khwahishan
Main jeena, main jeena, main poori tarah
Sabki rok hai, tok hai, nok hai, jhok hai
Par dil mein phir bhi hope hai
Hai na!
Life thodi hard hai
Andekhe card hain
Par hum bhi to star hain
Hain na!
Haan maana is duniya ki
Hoon hi nahi main
Apni he duniya banaungi ho
Ek zindagi meri sau khwahishan
Main jeena, main jeena, main poori tarah
Love this song!! 😍😍
