I missed a couple of episodes last week, so I am not getting the context. Have they shown that Ashi likes Shiv??? in yesterday (Monday)'s episode, I didn't get that feeling...

Keyword: FRIENDS

A guy and girl can get along very well and still have a platonic relationship. Just because a guy and a girl are friends, that doesn't mean they will fall in love.

don't you guys think ashi is a bit clingy? i think the whole scene where she moves her plate to go sit next to shiv was so weird, you just don't do that unless its a buffet dinner. and the whole time she was sitting wrapped around shiv...even boyfriend/girlfriend and husband wives keep things more low key when visiting a family for first time. I am a fairly urban person but i would never behave like that with my boyfriend (forget friend) in front of strangers.

The part in red, i completely agree...even here in the western countries, its different what you do in your personal time, but if you are guests at someone's house, i have never seen 'friends' sit that close...even white folks, forget indians...so yeah cv's are overdoing the ashi bit...

and the fact that shiv seems oblivious to her affections is also ridiculous...if he is so good at reading people then he def knows how ashi feels, so isn't what he is doing, by letting her hang all over him, kinda leading her on????

@jiya25: YES to everything you've said, especially the part in bold. I've been in a position where a guy who I liked but who didn't like me back actually initiated that sort of hand-holding and friendly affection, and then suddenly one day accused me of being too physically forward with him when HE'D been the one to start it and to breach boundaries that I would otherwise not have crossed o__O That experience actually messed me up quite a lot, so even though this is just a serial and all that, I sincerely hope Shiv isn't doing anything like that to poor Ashi. I just wish they'd just made Ashi a platonic friend of his... I mean, Dadisa's expressions and reactions to the 'lapundari' are funny, but I could do without the tension of, "How will Anandi fall for Shiv now that she thinks he likes Ashi?" and "What will Ashi do if Shiv tells her he likes Anandi?". I'd've liked her to've just been a close but platonic friend of Shiv's with a boyfriend in London. That way Dadisa could have taken her into her confidence and they could have made plans to matchmake ShivAn together, and Anandi could have a friend her age who's NOT in any way entangled with her love life...

@SiriuslySujal: What he intiated it?? Senseless! You must have been so hurt, and he knew about your feeling? Idiot!

Yes, he did know. And before he knew for sure, he definitely suspected. It was only very "tame" stuff like hugs/cuddles, but given my feelings, it was still quite "grey area", and I obviously read way too deep into it despite trying my hardest not to misconstrue things, and I basically think he should have known better than to toy with the situation like that and then back out and dump the blame on me. What's annoying is that despite being quite urban and feminist and all that, my khayalat is quite traditional in a lot of ways (my own mother says I'm too much of a prude, lol!), so I would never have overstepped those boundaries if he hadn't implicitly given me the go-ahead to do so! And that's kind of how I feel about Shiv and Ashi... I think Ashi is quite 'free' about these things, but that she would definitely hold back if she got a sense that Shiv didn't like her being all touchy-feely with him or was uncomfortable with that sort of behaviour from her. Perhaps he's holding back from saying anything to her because he's worried about hurting her or losing her friendship, but every time she holds his hand and he doesn't say anything, I really want to tell him to stop avoiding the issue. It's better for both of them in the long run if they have a discussion about it and set some boundaries/make some decisions. It might make things awkward between them at first, but in the long run, and once Ashi's found someone else who actually returns her affections, a good, platonic friendship is perfectly possible (that was the eventual outcome in my case!). So I hope collector sahab has a heart-to-heart with her soon, preferably before he falls for Anandi and has to spring that bomb on her...!
