First of all, I would really want to appreciate you for this wonderful post. Its so well written and presentated.

And honestly , A BIG THANK YOU, for making this post. It was the need of the hour. With so much bashing goimg around for Anokhi, I really needed someone to come out and voice the feelings of her character!

Anokhi Bhalla is indeed Anokhi and is just taking a stand for her respect, for her dreams and we love her for that.

Everything u mentioned is on point yaar! ❤️

Also, I would like to add one point, We always forget how Anokhi keeps saying that she loses her control when she's with Shauyra. She said this to Shauyra on his face. She mentioned it to Babli when Babli asked her back out during Holi too, she mentioned that she tried to keep away from him and avoid her feelings, but she isn't able to. She keeps saying that her heart loses its control around him. We all shouldn't foget that despite her coming to know that Shauyra had made Shagun choose between career and love, she still she can't control her heart around him, but she will control her mind. She knows her resolve gets weak around Shauyra and she wants to give in.

I appreciate her for being the lady she is.

Having said that, I also agree that she's not right in taking the decision regarding their relationship alone. She should talk to Shauyra. But then she is human. She will make mistakes. And She will learn slowly. It's fine. Its okay. ❤️

Thanks for the wonderful post again! ❤️

Awww

🤗 For you, Ashwariya!

I think Anokhi is the most misunderstood character in the show. Kuch bhi ho jaye, people start finding flaws in her words, reaction or actions

Exactly what I was talking about! She has not denied her love! She is still very much in love and today she said it as well... She still has feelings for him!

See, the whole point is that she hasn't decided. She is rather convinced that Shaurya will expect the same out of her and then it will be officially over. It's more like she is preparing herself for it.

Have you ever done really bad in your exam and when the result is about to come out, you already know that your scores are gonna be miserable? Have you felt that dread?

We have such a talented writers on this forum. I love reading such intellectual threads. You really analysed miss Bhalla so well. Anokhi wants to be like her Aastha mam but today's girl would like to be Anokhi. Title is so perfect. She is really brave heart. She is fighter and yet so lovable. She is degnified.I admired her when she told Shaurya sir aap ko pata hai me bechari nahi hu👍🏼

The best part of your post that made me emotional is

Anokhi has forgiven him for his worst and fallen in love with his best. They fought each other, blamed each other and tried to stay out of each other's way but their connection is soul deep and not just that of materials and superficial appearances.

She is hiding from him because she knows she can't hide her feelings for him.

I just love them 💞

Nice.❤️

As an individual I admire Anokhi,no doubt.

She is courageous and determined girl and if it was shown to be her story to touch sky despite love story I would have always vouched for her.

But being love story that is now downhill for me and it would be better that makers show them taking a break from each other for time being and deal with their expectations and insecurities without third party's interference on again acting as a mediator.

Thats all I want.

I don't want Anokhi to give up on her dreams neither I want shaurya to go behind her.

She has her insecurities,he has his own,neither hers are less nor his.

So let everything be equal.

Only one person can't be expected to resolve issues ,I don't want that burden on either Anokhi or Shaurya.

For me equality means equality in all respects,fields,situations.

Arrey... Love story shuru bhi nahi hui and you are already asking for a break?!! 😆

See, in a relationship, both have to be equally there for each other and both have to make efforts consciously.

Shaurya aur Anokhi ki kahani will start after this phase and you are saying downhill Have some patience.

Relationships are about growing together. Their love will defeat his insecurities and her 'flight' attitude. There is a lot they both have to learn and they will. Somethings will change within them as an individual, some as a pair.

First of all, thank you for this post. ❤️👍🏼

You are spot on in this analysis. 👏

I've always admired Anokhi since day 1. She is the epitome of the modern, new age girl who emerges from a modest family, fighting her own battles at each turn.

It took her huge courage, patience and perseverance to be where she is right now, n she still have a long way to go.

I'm in awe with Anokhi. She is sending strong messages, that too being on itv. Its a gust of fresh air. Something unique. She is unique!

Thank you Mehr!

I still have a hard time believing that we finally have a FL whose characterization is based on ground realities! Anokhi is not a mahan FL who will sacrifice herself over others. She is humane and real!

I am not interested in watching one sided love story,thats it.

Yess for this phase I don't want running after another be their love story started or not.

I am not in favor of shaurya running behind her because he has not given chance to explain himself and decision taken by one person.

And obviously I don't want to see Anokhi leaving her self respect.

Anokhi have these doubts so she need to ask him directly,till than she can take her time,I have no problem.

But obviously after so much happened I don't want him to go around and around her,now thats going to be too much for me after listening Anokhi's crystal clear views about him,she had no hesitation in saying he has no respect for women.

I have no problem with Anokhi being a dignified girl having goals but her judging someone on another's viewpoint without considering the person himself even after having different experience,I had problem with that. There is a difference between both things.

If I am saying that I am not happy with her judging attitude I am not implying that she should not follow her dreams or misjudging her for choosing her career,the thing I had problem with had nothing to do with both these things infact it is lot different.

LOVED your post! ❤️

Anokhi is such a dynamic character. She has her highs an dlows like any other person. She does not pretend to be perfect. She knows that she is flawed as is Shaurya.

Honestly, I understood her POV today. Any woman would be extremely cautious if her partner has a track record of spouting problematic views (eg admission track, library scene, victim blaming scene etc) and has already ended a serious relationship because he wanted to be his fiancé's first and only priority.

I hope the makers show Shaurya and Anokhi communicating honestly, without any accusations or blame games. A good honest talk is super rare on ITV. It will be so good to watch!

First of all, let me appreciate you on how beautiful you have written the whole write-up Your analysis of Anokhi's characters pretty much sums up what she has faced through to where she's now. To be honest, before reading this post, even I had felt that Anokhi's dialogues were self-contradictory and she's being inconsistent with her feelings although I do respect her decision of choosing her studies over Shaurya. But I still believe that she should have talked it out with Shaurya before moving away.

Anokhi grew up in a patriarchal house, like most women in India. She was expected to stay within the limits of family, get a degree and get married to a suitable suitor right away. But she differs from the rest and stands out because she wants to dream and fly towards it rather than staying in her comfort zone, living the life designed by the patriarchal society. Her fierce determination to run away from her forced marriage and come to a new city to live on her own, now that's something that always kept her going on. Her determination didn't break when she came to Chandigarh, waiting outside the college for hours, spending a night on her own in police station, getting accused of stealing, after the molestation fiasco until the library incident, after which she threw away everything, she has worked so hard for. But then she did come back stronger. She stood her ground and faced the challenges life threw at her. The grace with which she handled herself when BM announced Shaurya's engagement was something which still amazes me. Anokhi stands for everything she believes in.

But Anokhi’s whole falling in love, realization sequence was rushed unlike Shaurya where we get to see him realizing his feelings, fighting it with himself and accepting it too. So, I couldn’t connect with the idea that she loves him. I felt that Anokhi’s feelings are not as intense as Shaurya’s. Her past two weeks dialogues and actions were self-contradictory with her wanting to be with Shaurya, backing off from him, wanting to be with him, backing off from him, declining his love by distrusting him calling it game and revenge, then claiming that she trusts him, backs off from him again, then says she trusts him and love him and then back off again with no closure in between them. If they confronted it every time Anokhi stumbled then all these would be convincing. The last time she backed off, it’s justified that she decided her career over love.

I’m all for Anokhi choosing her career but I still do believe that she should have talked it out to Shaurya, listened to him first before making the decision of breaking whatever between them. Why? Because I have come across lot of relationships where problem arises when one person makes the choice for another person too and everything gets messed up. If Anokhi feels that Shaurya shouldn't be making her life choices then she shouldn't be making Shaurya's choices for him too. I mean today Shaurya said that ‘What happened with her was wrong. What that girl must be thinking of me?’ ‘I’ll talk to her on my own. That’s when I’ll get clarity’ when he talked with his family. He’s sure of what he feels and he’s staying true to his words. We are watching it. But Anokhi’s last part in today’s episode, where she spoke everything without confronting Shaurya, I felt that her words would have created more impact if she had actually spoke with Shaurya before deciding to give up (If he has opposed her in real), got a closure and then decide for herself rather than doing it for both of them. Just putting this one point forward because from my experience, that’s where a relationship always goes wrong.

P.S: Write an analysis on Shaurya based on today’s episode. I’m already excited.

Thank you Nan! (I really need to know your name!)

I think it would be wrong to say that Anokhi does not love him as much as he loves her! Just bcz Shaurya reacts strongly does not mean his feelings are deeper than hers.

Anokhi's feelings come from a place where she had neutral attitude towards him and slowly Shaurya started to grow on her. On the other hand, Shaurya went from jealouy/hate to attraction pretty quickly as well. Can you pin point on one moment when Shaurya really started falling for her? I don't think so....

Anokhi's falling in love may seem bland to you because she did not react strongly to him but Shaurya has always held a certain importance in her life. Starting from the moment he proved her right in the molestation fiasco! But her subtle attraction and belongingness was always there.

The prominent connection is even more visible after ACP's entry bcz even though Air behaves nicely, she still is soooo formal with him. She has always found comfort in Shaurya's touch, never shied away when he held her. His words affect her. A big part of the library humiliation was the blunt disrespect but also that his words and opinion mattered to her. And a heartfelt sorry was all it took for her to come back.

There are feelings she never recognized until Reema pointed it out... Same goes for Shaurya, he reacted strongly but never identified it as attraction until Kanchan asked him 'Only as a student right?' That's when he asked himself about magnets... He needed a hint as well.

Shaurya has been missing for a while... Will need more insight for his current state of mind to write a review. But I am so glad that he suspects foul play already! He is in destruction mode right now and I can smell the old Shaurya making a return.

I agree 100% with you.Independence gives you choice and exposure and above all respect.It matters when you are independent financially. I still hear people saying to there housewife what you know etc etc.Sometimes it is true also and to be frank lack of exposure is the reason.Anokhi knows what she wants from life and it is reality that love is not always enough.

Wonderful post. Totally agree with you here. Anokhi never said she doesn't love Shaurya, she only said she can't be with him if she has to sacrifice her own aspirations and dreams. She ran away from all that, she even said herself that her Heart is not in her control but her mind is. She is still not ready to face Shaurya becoz she fears he will see her true feelings for him, she doesn't want to give him any reason to push her in one or the other direction. She wants to make her decision based on what she always believed in.

She wants to make her love her strength and not weakness. Just like she told Shagun that love gives Strength and not weakness.
