yeah agree with you that shivani never loved abhi but raghu is thinking that she never loved raghu too.raghu need to come out of his naukar mode then only he can see whats happening in his heart.nice post dear ... but disagree with some points...
shivani never loved abhi ... for her he was her childhood friend whome she can trust ... she grew up listening to daaju telling her that one day abhi will marry her ... n she was kinda used to it... excited that her best friend is going to be with her ... the relation changes a bit , that's all... bec if she were in love with abhi , she would have been shattered , tried to commit suicide n all knowing his true nature ... or even questioned him... demanded answers from him for his betrayal... she never did it ...a girl knows when love happens to her n shivani too knew it when she relaised that she is in love with raghu n she felt the first pain of rejection... she talked to herself during that period 'for the first time i fell in love n ... something like that...n don't think raghu thinks that shivani loved karan n would move on in her life again ... bec he knows that she loves him n that's what's bothering him... he always sees her as maliksa's pothi, a princess ... agree with u on that ... in i take raghu's lines ...'she is malkin i am servant ... she is sky... i am earth ... she is maliksa's pothi, i can't even think of betraying his trust in me when maliksa had trusted me to take care of his amaanat... not to own it n commit a sin... i can't give her the kind of life she deserves ...' these r his original reasons ... all others including sumi , 'i-can't-love-u' r just his defenses when shivani persisted ...
