Since I have been a little pissed off with Shaurya like most people here, I thought of writing scenarios of what I want Anokhi to be like while dealing with the “Soch” part of this show at various points. Also, I am terrible while writing long post in detail like so many of you do it - hence, I am not writing this as an OS.
I mentioned several scenarios I would want CVs to cover which highlights gender biases and mentality.
As for the current plot in the show, I am sure Shaurya will become a hero again by saving Anokhi in the cheating fiasco by Saturday. Let’s see how CVs deal with it, and it has been fun reading OS and posts the whole day ranting about this ugly "soch" of Shaurya. 😈
In this post I assuming following "Soch"
Scenario: Permission granted!
Context: Shaurya andAnokhi are married. Post marriage, Anokhi’s life has been a series of disappointment with every single person being against progressive thought process, including her darling husband, Shaurya.
Anokhi has received wonderful opportunity abroad at Harvard as a guest faculty on one of the novel economic topics which Anokhi has mastered. She must travel to Boston for about six months. Shaurya is against the decision for Anokhi to take this up as he does not want her to leave him or his family for that long. Anokhihas had enough. She talks to her lawyer and gets divorce papers ready. She hands them over to Shaurya asking him to sign it as she considers her opportunity to be a golden one. This is done in front of the whole Saberwal Parivar.
Shaurya is shocked to know that Anokhi would prefer divorcing him over abiding by his request for her to continue her work as she has been doing so far – from Home! But he can not lose her at any cost, he cannot imagine living like his father has lived all these years without a ray of hope of getting back together with his wife.
Shaurya: I am not signing these, Anokhi. Please promise me you will come back to me after these six months of your work, if I give you the permission for going ahead taking up the opportunity.
Everyone in the Saberwal family is shocked at Shaurya’s reaction. Astha smiles briefly. The camera zooms on every single face there 😆
Anokhi: I am asking for a divorce and not your permission.
Once again, the camera focuses on the super shocked face of every member, and the smile is wiped off Astha’s face. Anokhi looks around at a surprised face.
Anokhi: Why are you all so shocked?
Anokhi walks towards Kanchan.
Anokhi: Yash jiju goes around the country all year long, has he ever asked for your permission? Or even considered informing you about his plans well in advance?
Anokhi moves to Gayatri
Anokhi: You tell me chachi, Alok chachu has plans to move to Patiala, has he considered knowing your opinion about it?
Anokhi then looking at everyone.
Anokhi: Then why me? Had the family been equal, I would have been happy to have fruitful discussion; but I don’t see any scope for discussion here. Hence…
Anokhi looks into the Shaurya's eyes.
Anokhi: I am going to Boston, no matter what. If I am divorced, I won’t return! But I definitely am not seeking your permission at this point.
I have done enough of going across living by everyone’s expectations after marrying you – but what's important to me – is important…
