I think the writer are more at fault here!
In an attempt to make him an innocent, simple guy... they ended up making him a completely spineless person and a doormat.
Completely opposite of his childhood self!
I wld be lying if I say that I didnt start watching the show post leap for Shivin!
Like many others I was also looking forward to watch him play the older version of Ranvi.
I felt that he was a perfect choice for this character cos he looked quite similar to Bhavesh!
But honestly speaking after watching 2-3 epi... I was bored to death!
I left watching the show after just one week until I randomly stumbled upon Baldev's entry scene... the rest is history!
Ranvi's character post leap was that of simple, innocent & reserved guy who was very strongminded & determined!
He is used to take every damn decision & even Ratan had to bow down infront of his wishes many times!
No one had the guts to do any sort of nonsense infront of him!
But now he just doesnt know wat to do.
Ultimate cry baby... sulking over everything!
Cant take a stand for his loved ones, cant take any decision on his own, has to be convinced to do every damn thing, lied and married a girl who left no stone unturned to humiliate & insult him & his family, didnt bother to clear the doubts of his mother who was under the impression that her son has molested a girl... I mean WTH!!
Was this how Ranvi's character was supposed to shape up post leap?!
I dont think so... they just ruined such an awesome character so badly that its just intolerable to watch him onscreen!
And an actor cant do much to save the character he plays wen the character itself is so horrible!
But still I think Shivin is a very average actor!
He has never been able to impress me till now & I dont think he'll ever be able to do that... thanks to Ranvi's characterisation I can never like him!
He's just painfully boring to watch and his stammering is something which makes me feel like banging his head on the wall!
Not to forget the ungli dance!
The cvs just dont know how to write simple characters.
You can definitely make a selfless & simple character without going overboard and making it spineless or look like a doormat!
