Those that are our own

Who do we have the right to shout at? Those that are our own.

Who do we try to correct when we feel they are wrong? Those that are our own.

Who do we use as a punching bag when we need to take our frustrations out? Those that are our own.

With whom do we cross boundaries of formality and can be our own selves? Those that are our own.

Who do we take for granted? Those that are our own.

Ok, I was not attempting to write poetry here, but after watching Shaurya aur Anokhi ki Kahaani and especially after today's episode, this is what I feel about the characters.

Shaurya vents his anger out in front of only three people, his father, mother and Anokhi. This is because he thinks them as his own. With others, he is very civil and well mannered.

Anokhi often crosses the boundaries of a teacher-student relationship and tries to reason with Shaurya because she also somewhere considers him as her own. She feels she has a right on him. That is why she took all that he did for her for granted and sent the thank you note to ACP. That is why she is hurt when Aastha reprimands her for talking rudely to Shaurya, who to Aastha's eyes is only her teacher.

Aastha knows to what lengths Anokhi went to search for her, to reconcile her to her son. Still, instead of being grateful, she admonishes her. It is because Aastha too considers Anokhi as her own and feels she should correct her. Aastha does not have so much right even with her son. When she thought that she had, she tried to admonish him too ( in the Gurdaspur episode), but now she cannot as she feels she has lost those rights on him. She may even try to overcompensate and Anokhi will sometimes bear the brunt.

Exactly. They keep each other in check and will the others honest. On the reverse side, Tej and Devi never reprimand or try to correct Shaurya even when he’s wrong. It’s a shock he turn out to be a spoilt brat with all the leniency growing up. Shaan while not a great dad, has always tried to guide Shaurya to do the right thing, even back with the Shagun engagement situation before Aastha re entering his life.

When we care about people, we don’t want to see them make the wrong decision esp for the wrong reason.

I just hope Aastha doesn’t do overcompensate too much with Anokhi. She’s going to be her guardian in Chandigarh and is Anokhi’s second mother so she should be a parental figure but hope she also lets Anokhi make some mistakes because that’s the best way to learn when you’re young

Yes I forgot to mention about Shaan. I hope Aastha asserts her right on him now and takes him to task for letting both her and Shaurya down. I feel she has forgiven him too easily.

Yes, too much overcompensating might push Anokhi away from both her and Shaurya.

They have no boundaries between them - the three of them! I think its also from the fact these two are connected from the same thread- they've started to have their own expectations with the other without considering the basis of that relationship.

Poetry yes but well said 😆

Until you said I didn't even realize the truth behind these two behaving rudely with the ones who matters the most to them. Absolutely, because Shaurya always go against either Aastha, Shaan or Anokhi & for Anokhi, its her dad, babli di or ofc, Shaurya. Shaurya in this case behaves decently even with his cousins though I appreciate how he scolded them due to the ragging incident (out of the topic, I still feel he should've taken action against them severely 🤔) He scolds anokhi majorly because of her bond with his mom whom he wants to ignore so yeah, makes sense

Ykw? I think the reason why Anokhi crosses her limits of speaking to a professor as such is because of the connection, adoration & mostly the strong bond she has with Aastha. Otherwise ofc she would've treated him the same as of that with other teachers. I don't know whether we can address it as a 'right' as you've stated but yes, the center of attention whether its positive or negative is coz of Aastha.

The fact that Anokhi is adamantly believing that Shaurya is some sort of a big time jerk, who doesn't respect elders or all the delusional thoughts running inside her brain is thanks to Shaurya's behaviour with his own mom. What she thinks, her pov regarding the ill-treating thats happening with a mother is because a son doesn't behave like a son. I think here is where Anokhi is lacking sense of processing. I hope no one disagrees because these are facts.

Aastha is lucky to have Anokhi with her if we put aside what happened with her due to the same person. Someone who cares for her like a daughter, whereas her own son neglects her.

Definitely, what I said. Aastha has the dil-ka connection with Anokhi. Its sweet. I liked how she broke down in front of Anokhi before she went missing too. We don't go on screaming our sorrow, internal battles to anyone right? That's why their bond is so nice & heartfelt.

The best thing that should happen is irrespective of the age gap or their relationship, Shaan & Aastha together should meet Shaurya & accept that they've done a huge mistake. Mainly Aastha. Until this happens ofc the wrath of his issues will be faced by Anokhi.

Well written post btw! 😊

For Anokhi, Shaurya has always been her go to person in SIAC. He had made that place in her life. Slowly but steadily, she started establishing a different equation with him that goes beyond normal teacher and student. It is not just Aastha, but her ragging, him standing up to Vineet, all of these made Anokhi, who was in desperate need of a support system in a new city, give Shaurya that position. It may not be love, but he maybe like that closest friend who we can advise, reprimand, make unreasonable demands and the like.

Actually..Im going to disagree a bit on the fact that Anokhi considers Shaurya as her own. Beacuse I feel she dosen't , not yet. She considers Astha her own and she will probably not hold whatever Aastha said against her. But in my eyes, if she can so easily accept that he left her and didn't save her, then its not worth it. She didnt even ask for Shaurya after waking up. On the other hand, Shaurya didn't leave her alone even after knowing that she dosen't think he saved her. I feel Shaurya does somewhere consider her his own. But Anokhi has a ling way to go.

I don't think Anokhi thinks of him to be a jerk. She is more sensible than we give her credit for. And she has slowly but steadily started falling for him (and vice versa). A self respecting woman would never fall for someone she thinks to be a jerk. I think she assumes his reason for disrespecting Aastha to be some sort of a misunderstanding which Shaurya doesn't want to clear out of his ego. I also don't think she will start seeing Shaurya in a new light after she will come to know about his pain. She knows about his pain. Aastha herself gave her a slight hint during her hospital stay. She was witness to Aastha's breakdown when she said Shaurya had a right to hate her ( or did I miss something?) She feels the way of removing that pain is him getting Aastha back in his life.(though you could be right, I could be wrong).

Aastha and Anokhi both are lucky to have each other in their life. They are going to be each other's biggest support system.

I have badly wanted a heart to heart conversation between Shaurya and his parents and them apologizing for putting him through a lonely childhood. It has been my biggest complaint with Mohor. They accepted their mistakes in private but never in front of their son. To him, they only gave explanations. I hope the issue is better addressed here.

Yep!

They assert a certain haqq on each other and thats why they are openly locking horns. Anokhi has a more emotional connect with Shaan but you don't see her questioning him the way she doea with Shaurya.

Subconsciously they have both let each other into their personal space even when it makes them uncomfortable at times, but the point is that they know each other in ways nobody else does. That's why they get so affected by each other.

This is why they cross lines with each other, they have no boundaries that tell them that there is a line....

Yes, perhaps you are right. I based my theory solely on the precap where she says, "mai unki kuch nahi lagti" or something along similar lines referring to Shaurya. She did not say to Aastha "main aapki kuch nahi lagti" and that is why I don't have a say in your life. Let us see how the episode plays out.

Perhaps it is because I really don't want Anokhi to be so oblivious to Shaurya's feelings. The writers have done a great job in etching Shaurya's character but in the process they have already butchered Shaan and Aastha (compared to the original) to make us feel more sympathy for him. I don't want Anokhi's character to be a victim of this one sided treatment.
