Hey guys!
I just watched ShaKhi scenes or when both were present with family from the last 2-3 episodes. Today, I watched the whole episode after seeing KV's IV. Aisa kya hone wala hai ki hum umar bhar yaad rakhenge mujhe janna hai issi liye.
At this point, I am finding both at fault, both being bad in communication. Shaurya is not understanding the change that occurred in Anokhi's life after marriage. She isn't a super human to manage all the 3 roles (Sabherwal Bahu, TA job, Student) without making any error. He is thinking all Bahus do housework, but she is Anokhi, so, she can manage both her studies and housework. She also reassured on that. Offering to order from restaurant, idea of calling Babli were great. The sweet moments, gestures all were amazing. Helping in xm preparation, pacifying her after the routine fiasco and motivating for exam were sweet as well. Shaurya's agreeing to BM's word and Anokhi's understanding of his reason was admirable that night. The after morning gestures (dahi-shakkar, prayer, choosing her dress, convo sith Aastha, asking for family's best wishes) were cute as well. He even said she didn’t need to do kitchen work on the xm morning, Kanchan and the rest will manage. She herself went there to make chapatis and salad. If you give space, log to sar pe chadke beith jayenge hi na. Not a clever move by Anokhi.
People take screenshot of their exam schedule and don't log in to uni website after each exam. It was stupid on Anokhi's part that she didn’t do it. After knowing he didn’t once try to mock her on that, reasoned it to be her marriage stress. He supported her before and even after her exam to vent out her frustration. Lashing out at Bebo Kitty without having any proof was his fault but he had seen their hostility towards Anokhi multiple times. He couldn’t possibly gauge Alok chachu being an elder can stoop to this level. Also Anokhi herself wasn’t sure whose fault it was. I admit his disappointment on her was a bit much as he himself accused Bebo-Kitty. He was very embarrassed and upset at the fact that she made a mistake in checking her schedule which she claimed to be very important to her. It raised a doubt about her sincerity and focus in his mind.
After the next exam, they were happy. Shaurya probably thought he will be spending quality time with his wifey now. But disclosing the TAship application before all made him sad. He expected her to confide in him first. This showed her lack of trust in him as per him. He was insecure about working women, conflicted further by BM's words yet supported her again in the board meeting. He was confident on her professional capability, punctuality as her professor. He was genuinely happy at her happiness albeit having a sinking feeling in his heart. He half-heartedly danced that night worrying on the outcome of his decision and even warned her not to be late the next day, the first day at her job. She couldn't see through his insecurities and happily danced. Next day, she again failed and he was embarrassed again. Tbh, no excuse of household work should be presented as a reason for delayed presence in your workplace. If she claims to manage all, she should have been able to dodge BM's orders. Otherwise, she could wait for completion of her studies to do a job. This way she could avoid overburdening herself snd also give Shaurya some time. She was late, whatever may be reason, showed her incapability of managing all 3 tasks skillfully. If I were in his place, probably I would've reacted in the same rude manner. Without being genuinely sorry, she was saying BM made her late, so obviously it would make any sincere person pissed off. But, later he should've apologized and calmly make her understand that you can't excel in all, need to compromise performance a bit while multi-tasking. The thing is he isn't getting good chances of doing that.
Just after that lash out, name change issue came up. He was okay with it as it is the social norm since forever and also he didn't wanted to get into clash with his family again. He started off nicely with Shakespeare's what's in a name. But again got into a small fight because of her stubbornness. She could let him speak, say her POV and would've said she will think and later do whatever she want. Good behavior and nice gestures don't cost u money.
Hailing from a research background, I personally find the legal name changing quite idiotic as you only have one father but can be widowed/divorced multiple times. So, how many times a woman will keep changing her name? Your father's name gives you the first identity. Why should it be changed? I don't get the need of legally adding Sabherwal at the end and beimg Mrs Anokhi Bhalla Sabherwal. It's okay being called Mrs Sabherwal in social gatherings and all, but legally it's not needed. God forbid, if Shaurya was about to die and as his last wish, wished for her remarriage with Ahir like typical kal ho na ho, does that mean she again need to change her name to Anokhi Bhalla Chattwal? How irritating! Just Anokhi Bhalla is fine. Nevertheless, he understood her POV and did what deemed right. He supported her again to BM-BP's surprise.
He was in a good mood and working. Anokhi again being outright dumb, for being accepted as Sabherwal Bahu and not to create distance among Shaurya, BM, BP, she put her wife status at stake. Gave him gyaan to not intervene or take side in her clashes. They both looked at each other in the dining table, Shaurya said nothing as she wanted to handle herself. He was smiling looking at her even in the bedroom, telling her not to tie her hair. I don't get it why she expected him to intervene after herself telling not to do that. How stupid! This time he got angry, kuch bhi karlo biwi khush hi nehi hoti, support or not support, she is finding problem in everything. Idhaar family bhi suna rahi hai. He was literally torn apart, that's why he snapped at her. He wanted to have personal space, calmly think but she would pester anyway. So he left the room. I didn’t like it as it wasn't right to take their such silly, trivial fight outside the room for all to have a look. He could've just put on headphones and slept being on the farthest corner of the bed/ in the couch they have in their room. Anokhi should've at least gone behind him, silently sit beside him, patting his her. This would show her concern and he wouldn’t be wanting to see her sleepless the next morning. The neglected child in him just wanted to be assured of her love, care and concern. He acted childishly the morning not getting the attention he desired. Till this, I was fully supporting Shaurya and Anokhi was completely at fault.
I don't support a bit how Shaurya banished Anokhi's efforts to patch up (making his favourite lunch) or spilled their internal things to Shagun.
If you think he is behaving like a jerk, it's not like that. Shaurya has been always like this, whenever things go out of his way, he throws tantrums to draw attention. Along with that lack of attention, this time he is pissed at Anokhi additionally, as he tried his best to support to Anokhi, in every manner yet she ended up embarrassing him all the time, fought with him without any solid reasons. He was confused what she wants and upset as she disregarded his best efforts to support her which he did going out of his usual trait of avoiding conflicts. He needed some time to think, to calm his mind. But she came with a view to resolving issues over lunch. Then, he wasn't interested to discuss as his mind was clouded with all these and work pressure. He acted cold and aloof trying to avoid further conflicts with Anokhi because he knows she will apologize and they will momentarily patch up. Later, again family se Anokhi panga legi, unke beech misunderstanding honge. Thus, he preferred to walk away and not to talk to her at that time. He saved her from falling, instead of thanking, she just went away. We all know he can't handle being away from her. Hence, the problem related blabbering to himself.
His try to dodge off Shagun, being tight-lipped initially was good to see. But he shouldn’t have let his hands to be touched or dragged. He spilled to Shagun as she enticed him with an opportunity to resolve her issues. She being a girl could berter understand Anokhi made him do it. Yet, he is not pardoned. But didn’t Anokhi also tell Babli and Ahir about their dynamics?
The way Anokhi intervened ShaSha cafe scene was not decent. Shagun was her teacher after all. She could politely ask if she could join them, had coffee with them and in the end, she could say she didn’t like this sharing and would like if ShaSha kept their married life out of their friendly discussion, looking both of them in their eyes. The behavior of Shaurya was mote inappropriate. He didn’t listen to her, the mera haat chodo aur haat jhatakna with a scream after her concern over his burnt hand were very rude, insolent. But she could've said Shaurya sir, I want to talk sith you as the Student Council Head. It's about college, not our personal issues. I am sure, he would've calmed down and listened. Then, again him not picking her call was bad gesture, glad that Aastha at least made him realize his mistakes.
Tomorrow, if he blames her for not confiding the molestation issue, it will be invalid as he dismissed her several attempts. I hope he trusts the proof and that too, without hurling any harsh words towards her on wanting to separate him from family or her attempt to frame them.
