Shaurya, is he really a misogynist? - Page 3

Loved reading the main post and replies. My hope is they can maintain or improve upon the character once he falls in love. Keep him decent, dignified and respectful as a man in love. I think they show a passionate love story without the unnecessary macho-ness and aggression.

Maine bhi same socha tha, phir woh hug scene dekha and I think ki that has to be one of the best executed scenes in itv at least for me it is, aur bas usko baad toh ye hu result hai jo hai😂

Him being rude to anokhi is reasonable but anokhi crossing boundaries is reasonable too according to me, (have explained it in the aastha’s breakdown post)

I might have missed it. Pls attach the link.

But Anokhi was crossing certain boundaries lately. She had already brought the bday thing and he refused, she should have stopped there. Shaurya was right today.

One of the reasons he had an outburst was because he felt pressurized and confused with her pestering. Anokhi is using a direct approach but she actually needs to ease him into the conversation instead of constantly blaming him for misbehaving with Astha maam. By shoving Astha down his throat she is only making him choke.

I think more than assuming things, she is actually not at all thinking from her mind, usko bas itna pata hai ki wo Aastha mam ko aise nahi Dekh sakti hai jise usne humesha strong rehte hue dekha hai, anokhi is not able to see such a woman breaking down on top of that she is not well, which is making her cross boundaries. Makers are also not excusing her behaviour (like Shaurya pointed out in today’s episode)

Absolutely. She is only thinking about Astha. She is jumping in between two people and completely disregarding the fact there are TWO people in this situation. She needs to understand that to solve this problem, she has to understand Shaurya's problem first. She is treating it like a one sided issue which is just not fair.

She said Shaurya is not the only one with parent issues but she speaks to him as if he is the one responsible for the issues.

All i want to say is if she really wants to solve the problem. She needs to balance both versions of the story instead of siding one.

First off, I swear I have never loved or related to any male character or for that matter any character as much as shaurya, [except the prejudiced notions he has about working women (in this case I 100% relate to anokhi , also I love her too❤️, and I am really rooting for you girl🤧)

Anyways this is specifically about shaurya, so I’ll continue like abhi to zyada time Bhi nahi Hua and I Am already so attached him

I think Aisa ml itv pe Kabhi nhi aaya, like someone who is passionate but is also soft.

This couple really has the ability to give an angst which is healthy not toxic, something I have so been craving to watch.

He is not someone who says respect women and still treats the FL as trash, he is the real deal. He isn’t someone who forces his opinion on the women in his life. Even for Shagun he GAVE HER the CHOICE, and then respected her decision though taunted her but still he didn’t totally take it on his ego. Honestly, this is where he is different. He doesn’t have much ego, he apologises whenever needed, he listens to what women (Specifically mentioned women because misogynistic mindset totally dismissed women and their opinions and so the mcp ml of itv)

He is against raising his hand on women, never for once did he indulge in victim blaming in the molestation case (which misogynists love to do)

He supports his bhabhi, dance kar rahi toh Karenr do, he would NEVER taunt his wife( ki mere upar dependent ho,mera ghar mere paise use kar rahi ho🤢) and all.

He would truly consider her as his equal and her opinions as equal.

Honestly kis angle se Misogynist Hai I don’t understand 😂

Even woh homemaker wala bhi he is NOT going to force It on any woman, he is going to only marry tHat woman who WANTS to be a homemaker out of HER choice.

Yeah wanting only housewife is a prejudiced notion he has jiske reasons hain but I won’t count it as full blown misogyny.

I consider misogyny to be a whole Mindset which literally hates women wants to silence them, torture them, consider them as second class citizens.

And casual sexism, or rather one example of it As subconsciously dismissing women’s opinions and everything she says (I have seen many guys doing that) which shaurya doesn’t do at all even in his anger.

His another amazing quality is that he listens and refrains from shouting and scaring the FL

(They have argued, he has spoken rudely (obviously not justifying it, he has to redeem it going ahead) but has never tried to or intended to scare her, or tried to overpower her even in so much anger which even so called gentleman lead does too sometimes)

And can’t believe I am saying this as it shows how low of a standard itv has set for male leads but yet it is how it is. He has never ever crossed anokhi’s personal space without her consent (anokhi said don’t touch me in that bouquet scene and shaurya didn’t, no questions asked , such subtly showing consent)

Whenever he has invaded her space ( eg lifting her in that car scene) , she still felt comfortable, not an ounce of uncomfort was present) and he knows ki itna Toh comfortable hai anokhi uske Saath And she really is that comfortable with him (maybe bcs woh sahi mein uske saath safe feel karti hain). Jo bhi hai, I honestly like this aspect so much.

It might also be since he is a professor so obv him doing like this would take away all the integrity of his character. But I don’t see shaurya as a character doing something like this even if it wasn’t a college setting.

Pata nhi kya kya likha hai par shaurya ke liye toh puri book bhi likh dun to bhi kam hain, Pagal ho gyi hun lag raha hai😭😭

Bas Aisa hi rahe pls kuch bhi ho jaye , if makers mess with him my heart will break🥺

Why do I even watch itv jaante hue bhi ki baad mein mera 🤡 banne wala hain, itne Baar disappointment ke baad bhi lagta ki nahi ab different hoga par, hopefully iss bar *touchwood and fingers crossed* acha rahe show going ahead.

Totally in rant mode today, but Thanks for reading😊

I agree totally! From the initial promo they did set out a bad impression for Shaurya

But Shaurya isn’t full blown misogynistic he has more respect for women in his heart and actions than any other itv lead ever. I wonder why did they intentionally messed up his first-impression from the teaser lol

Hopefully they don’t follow with it. Its the best one of the lot right now. Im totally charmed and in love 🥰

I am assuming his mysogonist nature might come into light once they become and official couple. He might oppose her every decision and she needs to fight to get her due.

Could be possible but i hope it just remains till his prejudiced notions about working women is present, once he overcomes those notions, then he should be the biggest supporter of anokhi no matter what the circumstance or situation arises, i really hope this happens

I think the two things are different , shaurya has a kind heart , not only for women but people around him. Yes he is unforgiving but that doesn't make him a misogynist . His prejudice against working women stem from his bad experiences of past . N that's the theme of the show.. how he falls in love with a woman who is exact opposite of how he perceives his life partner and how he changes his perspective. The best part about this serial is , the women aren't dumb or becharis. Shagun broke off the engagement when she learnt about shauryas expectations. Aastha fought in her own way and so will anokhi.

@bold : I kind of disagree here bcs I feel ki sabki preferences hoti hai but some preferences stem from stereotypes and prejudices. For e.g. wanting to marry a fair skinned man/woman might just be a preference but stems from prejudice against dark skinned people, which is so wrong, aisa hi toh hota hai iss tarah ki preferences ki wajah se overall society mein discrimination aata hai.

I feel same applies for working women too, iss tarah ke preferences ke wajah se hi many women are forced to give up on their career since majority of men in present day India want housewives.

Aisi cheezon mein preferences se zyada overall society pe kya effect padega zyada important hota hai, hence I don’t feel shaurya is in any way justified as such, just my PoV.

But totally agreed on everything else including him having a little but of superiority complex, didn’t pay attention to it before.

@Bold: really? What is the reason for this?

I also think the same, she might question him as he is a professor and an educator and how he can have such thinking. It will show the most of educated people today also hold regressive thinking in the society. He did say "BS" to her speech on the debate competition and mentioned something along the lines of "women look good at home"

So i feel like that part of him is daba hua for now and will come out eventually. We can all dislike him then lol

Yea she’s used to being a free bird so there’s bound to be some conflict there.
If she decides something without letting him know, he might throw a fit. Who knows? We saw how he did want Shagun to ask him before applying to Cambridge and it’s likely he’ll have similar expectations of Anokhi
