Agree that it will look humiliating to certain viewers but not to all... in fact my roommate ws telling ha! He asked for iit ! ... ...hmmm... about getting paid thing... we know that raghu told it to hurt shivani n make her hate him...he didn't mean it at all...infact he has always maintained that he is her naukar only... inly when karan came into pic n he had this brilliant ifea of getting her married off to him he started behaving like as if he wants payment... it is not a job for him... its 'seva' n unwavering loyalty...but we know his feeling run deeper n what he actually fears is his insecurities n the fact that babihi will have to lead a poor life...
I think sumi will react now...she is not going to sit idle after being called a naukarani...
Ofcourse shivani needs to change strategy... but she is impulsive n in ur face ...she doesn't pretend n don't know how to hide her feelings... she was crying her heart out when raghu came with the kangan... he knows perfectly well her state of mind as only a moment ago she was asking him to leave sumi n ready to bresk martiage with karan... yet he casually tells her look what karan sir send u!!...on top of that he tells her things whuch surely aren't his duty to do so...just as it isn't his call whom she is to marry...he tells her to marry karan...tthen tells her not to marry karan..then again tells her to marry karan...never thinking what she is going through...she had been driven to a corner... n shivani reacted... it was spontaneous ...impulsive... letting all her pain n anger out...indtant reaction...but i think she also wanted to show him the real naukar malkin relation...which was not the case with these two... even if raghu thinks he is a naukar , in his subconscious he is not ... now that she has set specific boundaries he may realise where all he had been crossing them all along...
Ofcourse raghu will remain stubborn ... but shivani doesn' t know snother way to goad him a final time... may b she eill find out another way once she sees karan...
I think these ' humiliations' will continue... she will b doing it to get a reaction from him desperately... but he won't relent...so the battle will continue... only solace is that the naukar will finally start to realise how much un-naukar like he was / is feeling... he will fight it...no doubt ... but that is needed... so i don't think the story will b moving in circles... rather i think we get a RP track...
