Not sure about Anokhi's POV yet bcz there is more to explore but I was talking about Shaurya.

He has never bothered about being on a pedestal or being respected. He has been point blank everytime. In fact he is uncomfortable with being hero worshipped or being placed on a pedestal and it evident bcz everytime someone appreciates him he clamps up puts up his walls.

He knows he is good but somehow he does not want people to see that in him. It makes him feel exposed and vulnerable. He feels like his secrets are out in the open. Today was the first time he wanted to willingly say something but they got interrupted.

Not saying that he pretending to be rude, coz he behaves well with everyone and he is a great professor but when it comes to personal relationships, he keeps himself guarded. As I said in another post, he has abandonment issues. One of the traits is controlling what happens around them. He wants to control things and suddenly Anokhi makes him spiral out of control by forcing him to address the issues he has tried to suppress within himself.

Anokhi needs to realize a person has no standard response or behavior to deal with every situation. The same mature person can behave rude hurt or bitter who was acting rational and mature. The world is not black and white. It's gray. She needs to understand she can't idealize Astha too like she can't Shaurya. They are flawed humans and they can make mistakes too. You can love them too even if you don't agree with certain of their behavior traits. That will come with life experiences and maturity. People disappoint us. Can't expect them to behave like God.

Yeah I think that she needs to realize that there are many layers to a person. A part of me also thinks this is the fault of the writers because we have been receiving so much introspection by Shaurya but we haven't seen it on Anokhi's side even when I do think they are trying to hint that she is doing so. She tried to give him the benefit of the doubt when she said that she convinced herself that he just lashed out at Aastha in anger. And it seems she has accepted that he was worried about Aastha. She seems to swing between being disappointed and being hopeful and she wants him to give her a reason to think she was right that he is good. When she came out of the hospital room to see Shaurya still there, it almost seemed like she was hopeful that he'd prove her right and by apologizing, would vindicate himself to her again. But when he said no, she was back to blaming him. Hope we get a balance of her internal monologues showing her going back and forth between these two sides of Shaurya so that we can sympathize with her outbursts since it comes from a place of frustration that he isn't doing what she expects of him.

I think she placed him on a pedestal since she was introduced to him as a nationally and internationally recognised intellectual - her eyes shone with admiration as she looked at him that day. While there have been fluctuations in her perception of him, she still held on the first image of him in the back of her mind. That image could only be affected when the one who is higher on the pedestal was insulted in the worst possible manner. Like Anokhi, I do believe in seeing a person beyond their qualification and frankly, what she has seen is kind of ugly.

The initial blame game, the tum uss astha ki student ho, the bouquet throwing, shaurya's last words to his mom and leaving her in the riots undid the respect that she of him as a human being, but did not affect her admiration of him as a good prof.

When she thanked him for helping her and her sister, when she thanked him for helping her gather proof, it was Shaurya the human being that she was thanking. Of course, the masked professor did not want the credit.

She has seen the raw side of him and his pain, and has told him so. She's trying to figure him out - trying to tell herself that Shaurya, the human being, is as respectful as Shaurya the professor. She has conveyed that to him as well. Her interference has created a crack around his wall, and the real Shaurya has started to breathe again, but just as he has started to hold onto her hand, she's removed that lifeline. So, now he will crave for that.

He'll want to show her and have her acknowledged that she had been right about him - that its not only his eyes, but his entire soul is tormented. But, I don't think he'd want her to hero worship him - if anything, he'd want her to see beyond the mask of perfection that he carries around!

This post literally gave me goosebumps☺️ I never thought about it from this perspective. It's in very few instances where I like male lead more than female lead characters and this show is definitely one of them.

Shaurya has been putting lots of efforts lately for Anokhi, but they have never really explained any reason for him to be so concerned and attracted to her. But I think your post describes the reason for Shaurya to like Anokhi. Her logical opinion and analysis in the past to see through his toughness or exterior make up.

Story makes more sense now.

Superb analysis and loved reading each and everyone's reply. An angst was there from the time I watched today's episode seeing Shaurya going through the pain of losing that one human being who he has started opening up unknowingly. He fights with her, lashes out his anger, saves her and comforts her....all these are done only for some one you care. He has unknowingly started to care for Anokhi and it hurt him badly to think that she would think bad of him. The writers have given such an amazing male lead Shaurya & KV emotes it so well. Felt his pain today.

Three scenes stood out for me today - the frustration he felt when Anokhi said ACP helped her from the riots, his facial expressions when Anokhi said Aastha was found and the icing on the cake was rushing to hide away from Aastha but still watch her. The anguish and the happiness both beautifully expressed by KV. Hats off to him.

I have to give credit to Deb as well today. She didn't understand why Shaurya was getting irritated. She is young and doesn't seem to understand the effect she has had on Shaurya. She showed the confusions clearly of not understanding how he felt and what he was talking about. She is still the obedient student idolising Aastha and Shaurya whenever they are right. This student has a lot of learning to do but as Shaurya said, " look into my eyes and follow. I am a good teacher " 😀

True Shaurya feels comfortable showing around his carefree side to her. By dancing behaving like a petty child. His ugly side and anger. He is comfortable with that but Anokhi needs to be okay and comfortable with those sides too. Not the anger side by his caring side. During the riot scene she Jerked his hand away twice. She is not uncomfortable to his touch and finds it creepy or something but it's affecting her somehow. Like is she emotionally and mentally equipped to deal with a complex man like Shaurya with his complexities being emotionally damaged herself. I don't think so.

Learning to love him will also come with learning the different sides of SS.

I think she removed the hands because she became conscious. It started with the seatbelt scene and she definitely flipped there😆

Both of them have an ugly past and both of them would need to learn how to deal with the complexities together - that's what love is, nah. At this point, none of them are mentally equipped to tackle the emotional baggage that the other brings. But, they'll learn.

Of course, Shaurya may learn quicker given that he is more mature, but he'll have to hold her hand and walk her thru. It all.
