Some shows thrive off character-driven stories, some off plot-driven ones.

Of course, in ITV, some thrives off none🤭

In SAAKK, it’s the characters that drive the plot. It was established with the promos/themes/title of the show.

That's why:

- The first epis. built on characters&their background.

-Ahir/Shagun aren't as imp. to the plot as they are to evoke a reaction in ShaKhi-jealousy, insecurity, dilemma. 

-AShaan's past is pivotal to ShaKhi's relation & Shaurya's growth.

To build characters and show dev., you need to build up an environment of conflict based on which the characters will react and audience will decide how much the character has developed. The side characters are there to give an edge to the Main Leads.

#ShauryaAurAnokhiKiKahani
While it may seem unessential; episodes like today helps in setting the foundation for that build up - there’s so much going on – Anokhi’s heart vs mind confusion, an upcoming confrontation btwn ShaKhi, Astha+Shaan dynamics, Vineet angle.

I do get the frustrations; but that’s how it is for these types of stories. And obviously there were fillers, but in the space of like 3 weeks; they’ve had to change the storylines a couple of times, so that’s fine.

Anyway, coming to the episode – I do get Babli’s concern, but she needs to see beyond her narrow-vision. She clearly sees men in two extremes; the extremely good-Ahir/Vicky, the extremely bad-Vineet/Father as a result of her own abusive experiences.

22 yr old Nikki, despite her own trauma, has a more peripheral view– she does not blindly trust Shagun’s words, and her own experiences urge her to give Shaurya the benefit of the doubt. Amidst the heartbreak, angst, she is not losing her rationale.

And my girl will write her own story herself, she'll choose her own hero and she won't allow herself to be dictated (unlike someone we know). Their relationship will not be scripted by anyone else, except them, nor will it be tinged with the past.

#ShauryaAurAnokhiKiKahani
AShaan and that vintage chemistry! Astha's breakdown for Shaurya was raw and her remembering her 4 yr old she left behind was painful. We’ve seen specks of Shaan’s rebellion, he more to do now. Im excited for some heart tugging scene of the trio tmrw.

I was stuck in a Covid red zone for the past few months, and with hiking stress level, the show was a comfort. The situation is kinda normal here now, and I hope it'll be the same for you all soon. 🙌Thank you so much team #SAAKK for working so hard.❤
