Was just surfing forum and reading some fanfictions, when I came across this post about feeling sorry for Shaurya. So decided to go through it. The points were very nice and legit but one sentence just ruined it all for me.

The discussion was centred around the Goa episode and it was months back and the reply option wasn't there as well so really needed to get it off my chest.

Someone wrote "Not getting father's love is still ok and also Anokhi got her mother's love throughout her life. But Shaurya never got his mother's love and it feels like suicide" something like this.

Whoever wrote this, if you are ever reading this please remember both parents' love is paramount in a child's life. Not having even either one of them is traumatic. To top all this, it's not like Anokhi's father ignored her or something? He abused her–physically, verbally, mentally! He always expected her to be grateful of him for having birthed her, supplying her with the basic necessities of life and "allowing" her to study. Her very OWN father reminded her of the "ehsaans" he has been doing for her when that's the responsibilities of any parent. He was also the same person who was getting her married to a drunkard dude when he knew all the truths about the groom and the family and also knew about the sort of treatment she would get once she was in Canada yet proceeded on to push her to the deepest pits of hell. Her father didn't even provide her with the financial support for her education. It was Anokhi's own calibre and mental strength that helped her survive in that toxic household.

About mother's love? Yes she did get it. But it was shown in the earlier episodes that her mother and her sister were only mute spectators of the abuse going on around the house. They accepted it as their fate and even tried to convince Anokhi the same. Especially when Babli had that dialogue "hum ladkiyan choices nahi kar sakte aur humari aakhri manzil shaadi hoti hai". Also when her marriage got finalized and her mom said "Bas ab koi tamasha matt karna". Even if she got the love, she never got the support and was pretty much on her own since childhood, fighting for survival until Aastha came along the way in probably her first years in Divyajot College. Atleast her mom and sister plucked up the courage at the right time and helped her escape the marriage.

All of these incidents are a trauma to anyone's life and this is just a part of what was shown as a whole. Just because Anokhi doesn't act like a cold rich arrogant man with a good heart deep down doesn't mean she hasn't had trauma. To be very honest her trauma was thrown into the gutter by the CVS and wasn't explored anyways. But saying "still ok she didn't get father's love cause she got her mother's love throughout her life" is so insulting for all those girls who in reality go through this situation. Also considering how her mother's love was actually not enough to be honest because even if with a heavy heart, Anokhi's mother did follow the rules of a patriarchal society and tried to make Anokhi one victim as well. Anokhi's strength and determination changed her and Babli for the good.

Sorry for the rant :)

In no way I am discarding Shaurya's past. It had its share of cons. But literally saying this "not having father's love is still ok" is literally ???

How heartless can one be?

And pain honestly can never be compared

This sentence was said in respect to Goa's post engagement announcement episode where Shaurya's pov was not taken into consideration. Yes he was lonely. But how does it relate to Anokhi not having father's love? And why is it normalised?

Shaurya's behaviour in that goa track of not being able to raise his voice amongst everyone is understandable

nd also anokhi's response following the incident....any sane woman would leave the spot nd the man after such a thing

Shaurya later took a stand as well which might be for the 1st tym in his lyf, he did everything in his capacity to convince anokhi nd walked away on realizing she wont budge...i loved him during these episodes

Bt there's no way their pain could be compared and calling one of their actions justifiable doesnt make the odr wrong

Agreed

They both were so heartbroken

Shaurya was helpless, Anokhi was clueless as to how everything changed so quick

Is it that difficult to understand both their sentiments without demeaning one another?

But this line about not having father's love is still ok is legit heartless

I can't even imagine my life without my father.

A father is the first hero in a daughter's life yet Anokhi's father was the biggest villain of her life

Shaurya and Anokhi are both psychologically layered characters. Both let their past dictate their present.

True their past is haunting them and ruining their present

Both of them were right at there place but situation arise was wrong

Well this is correct and according to me Shaurya and Anokhi both had a miserable childhood. And also comparison is not possible bcz they both had different situations and problems.

Ikr but people fail to understand this.

I have often seen people not reading in between the lines of Anokhi's actions and decisions. They just randomly start hating her like ???

But Shaurya's actions and reactions are still understood considering how whenever he does anything fans relate it to his past and read into depths of it.

Probably because fangirls are more inclined towards male leads.

That also and in our society we are taught since our childhood that a boy's action are justified and all other serial which I have seen except for SAAKK, I have seen that it will always justify a man's action chahe woh kitna hi galat kyun na ho. But if a girl takes a stand for herself she becomes wrong.

@bold. Respectfully agree to disagree 😅

Idk much about other shows, but according to my point of view many of Shaurya's mistakes were justified which should not have been in the first place. For instance, the forced marriage. In this case, I seriously can't justify this act keeping in mind his past. This is just unacceptable whatever past, present or future concerns. Boi didn't even regret doing such a thing and went onto fulfil the responsibilities of a husband. I think a repentance of doing such an act would have been a better track rather than showing this as a lawful marriage lol. Then he proceeded onto doing another social marriage without informing Anokhi. What was this plot even?

And to top it all, Anokhi's reaction to all this didn't make even an ounce of sense. Like? Girlie shouted at him for forcing marriage then proceeded onto put a condition at the exchange of which she would agree to this forced marriage and then went to her hostel and acted coy. And also she had no problem in accepting the unknown social marriage which was conducted without her consent. This was weird asf. Three marriages in her life, and she was unaware about all the three. Make it make sense cvs?

Amidst all these the only good scene was the seminar one, and the ring proposal. Simple serene and rightful.

I don't mean to offend your opinion in anyway. Just presented my thoughts 😊.
