Many don't agree with these thoughts of mine but he has compromised on his Soch for her!!! Just because his Soch was wrong, doesn't mean it was easy for him to change or compromise. When anokhi first told him that she doesn't want to be just Mrs Shaurya Sabherwal, his first reaction was doesn't she love him, isn't his love enough for him, she wants studies n all or what? That showed he still was the same guy n didn't want her to choose career over him. When he saw anokhi going away from him, that's when he decided to compromise on his Soch n change for her. As long as he didn't change for himself or out of his own realisation, I would call it a compromise, not change! This is the biggest one of all!
Second biggest compromise was he went to his estranged mom for the first time only for her sake....only because she asked him to in order to accept the marriage. He wouldn't do that in his wildest dreams on that day.
Apart from that, he has compromised a lot of other things too. He said jahaan pyaar hota hai wahaan ego nahi hoti, n he has lived by these words of his in every smallest situation, he has given up on his ego, he is not stubborn around her, her way is the high way for him!
Just because his ideology was wrong, doesn't mean he was entitled to change. Had he ended up with Shagun, he would have never realised his Soch was wrong, he would have never cared to change his Soch n he would never realised he was wrong. He has compromised first, realised that the compromise made him a better person, and then changed!!!
I agree with you that Shaurya compromised his Soch but was it for Anokhi or for himself? For his insecurities that Anokhi will leave him, he is accommodating all her wishes. I feel Anokhi is doing lot more compromises. She accepted the sindoor marriage even it was no where in her plan before completing her education… she went ahead with this sudden social marriage which was completely planned by Shaurya… she would never want to have it just 1wk before final exam…none of us would do that especially if it is love marriage…she willingly came to SH knowing very well how abusive his family can be as shown in Goa track just because she feels Shaurya would like to live there…now her study and career can be at stake being a sab bahu… these are some major compromises from Anokhi’s side… she has lot more to lose compared to Shaurya.
PS. I love Shaurya… so I am not criticising his character but he is in much better position than Anokhi righ now…I cant even imagine what I would have done if I am placed in Anokhi’s situation… at the age of 20, dreaming to do something in life for myself😢
