I had been waiting for someone to say this after Monday's episode and was almost beginning to think that maybe I was the only one who was thinking along these lines.
Tbh, I do think what Anokhi did was wrong. When that first precap of Tej's offer was shown, I had said I wouldnt like Anokhi to go this route and I stand my ground. For all her selfless reasons, she does not get to call the shots on this relationship on her own (yes, I remember the sindoor fiasco and am keeping that aside for now). Ideally, she should have spoken about this to Shaurya but.. ITV. Communication skills are zero. This is a trope that while wrong still manages to tug at the audience emotions. Anyway, I actually have no qualms with Shaurya being pissed at Anokhi. He has the right to be mad at her for not 'standing up for their love' which ironically was a concern everyone had for Shaurya initially. Right through until he said he can't be with someone like this. All fair. On a side note, I generally have so far loved how their 'breakup' scenes are approached. Also appreciation where due of the truth not being dragged out and Shaurya's confrontation with the Sabherwals (one thing I will always love about this show)
My problem begins with Shaurya's reasoning on this marriage. His rejection already has her regretting her actions and realizing she was wrong. She is in pain, wants him back, fix this and he can see it. So what exactly is this fake marriage supposed to teach her? There really is no logic here because technically his goals are already achieved. The only thing I can come up with is - Drama. The makers want a typical TV drama to lead up to the social wedding. There really is no way how else this makes sense. Even the dialogues werent convincingly put enough. Double whammy is everyone agreeing to this. Like WHAT? Babli surprised me most.. and Ahir.
From a ShaKhi point of view, I can kind of understand why this works as such. Especially for the general fans. And because I adore watching DebVir and ShaKhi together on screen and am invested in them, I still root for these two and always will. But imo, this could have been a perfect opportunity to balance out the sindoor wedding. He could have admitted what he did there was wrong and this time do about it the right way - propose to her properly, get her consent and do a proper wedding with all the rituals. One way to try and redeem.
Another bummer was the way Mr. Bhalla's track was dealt with so quickly. I was probably even more disappointed about this lost potential. But oh well, that is a completely different thing.
Thank you for making this topic!
