That scene was funny and meme funny! True! My point is what was the rest of siac doing when they were majorly breaching decorum? 🤣🤣 I honestly felt that both of them were aware of each other, which makes me feel Anokhi felt a lot without understanding what it was? Maybe that is why the library conversation stung her so much? I think the makes should have given us monologues from Anokhi's end.
He is mean to her because he does not know what else to be. His ego won't let him show any other emotion. He is mean to her because she keeps reminding him of his mother and how mean he was to her. He is mean to her because he hates that she calls him out and shows him the mirror. He is mean to her because she can read him but misreads him also. He is mean to her because she gets the love meant for him.
I agree that post-hospital confrontation and Anokhi learning the truth, ShaKhi dynamics truly changed. From both sides they became more invested and it was compounded by their search for Aastha and the riots.
You've listed all the reasons perfectly. It's all his complexes. He hates that she understands him but also misunderstands him and keeps calling him out on all his bullshit. She's actually so fearless against all his threats and continues to make her arguments whenever they talk. Her braveness is a clear attraction point. And you're right, Anokhi is a replacement so he's clearly envious of her place in Aastha's life. I love that even with all his complexes, he works his way into falling in love with her.
