Shaurya is a fascinating character. I love his junoon. We can see the effort that goes into writing his character. And most of the times, he behaves in sync with how he has been depicted since the beginning.
He never strays from his character sketch. There are no sudden surprises. We were angry and upset when he left Mehek during their wedding. But were we really shocked? No. because it was kind of expected of him. Every scene, big or small, always keep's Shaurya's flaws and strengths in clear focus.
We don't see him breaking into a dance or singing platitudes to Mehek which would be ridiculous to watch.

But i wish i could say the same about Mehek. I wish i could say that after all these episodes, i know Mehek as a character. She's shown strong in one episode and in the next one she's crying buckets of tears. She's shown as a woman who fights her own battles to one who gives up easily. She's shown to love Shaurya with everything that she has and then she gives up the love for her family. She's shown to speak her mind and then she's shown as a mute spectator.
So who is Mehek really?

This show is about Shaurya and Mehek but these days, all i see is the tashan between Shaurya and chachi. Where is Mehek? She's like a lifeless doll that is being pulled and pushed around. If the makers do not wish to unite the couple so soon, then it's okay. But the track should focus on the lead couple and not on a side character by suddenly giving her negative shades.

Give Mehek some life. She has a mind of her own. She's capable of thinking for herself. Everything doesn't have to be about her parivaar. Give her some strength and some courage. Give her a voice.
And for god's sake please stop making her run away like a coward.

Yes, very well put.

That has been the most frustrating part for me with the way the show is headed. If that was the way they had sketched Mahek from day one, yes, I can go with it. But, it is with this track they have deviated from her original character, which to me seems like an injustice to the character we love and us loyal audience too.


She has in her own quiet way stood up for things and is a fighter. She has always spoken up when she disagrees with something. Her love for her family is unconditional, but that doesn't crowd her judgement of right and wrong. All this while being a mild mannered, calm, understanding girl. This is the Mahek they have given us. This the Mahek Showrya fell in love with. So, ZKM team pls give Showrya and us our Mahek back!

Awesome post! So very well said.

I have been feeling the same about Meheks character and i feel the writers/CVs aren't being fair to her.

I loved Mehek even when she was living with Shaurya in Khanna Mansion. She was still better than this.

But right now she is shown totally helpless. Swinging from Shaurya in one scene to being manipulated by KC in the very next scene.

The entire track focuses on KC & Shauryas ego whereas Mehek is totally sidelined.
I think most of us are losing interest due to this in the serial.

Also the story seems to be going nowhere its just the same thing again and again.


What is even worst is the increase of violence in a serial that had such a light and refreshing feel to it .😡

I hope the makers and the CVS wake up to this fact as all they will end up in is losing their loyal audience too.

Bang on analysis dear ...well said..
Shaurya is a strong character ...he was shown string from the very first ...he gets wat he wants by hook or crook...
But mehak is the one who is actually struck with the loving ones...
Its as I said sumwer. Shaurya is her right eyes and her family is left eye..
She can't can't hurt either ...she needs both for a vision ...

Lovely post dear!
You have summed up both the characters really well...wonderful analysis...
And yes Shaurya's character is flawless...
And KV does justice to it wonderfully... And Mehak's character has been wavering and sometimes looks like this character is being sidelined whereas she is the soul of this show, it is her story and not SK's or KC's... This character needs more depth and consistency...
