You've said it all...these are the reasons why I see potential for a genuinely good friendship/equation to be developed b/w Anika-Om...because he can be a voice of reason on both ends...the way he gets through to Shivaay and helps him understand himself.Also, that scene when he goes to Anika's house after she quits the job was a really good one...the way he read the pain there in Anika's eyes and asked her if sab kuch sach mein khatam ho gaya...he reads Shivaay-Anika's silent communications well too...while Rudy takes the route of teasing them through jokes, Om is able to give them indirect guidance and food for thought.All in all there is potential for Anika to have unique equations with all three brothers...Shivaay ke saath toh hai hi but it can be a nice larger family equation with her two devars too...beyond superficial scenes😆*Edit: Also somewhere, I think Shivaay-Anika can help Om with his issues together...because Shivaay ofcourse is super emotional about Om but Anika can bring in another perspective and help them evolve.
I concede the possibility now...you are both right. 😆 I don't really pay much attention to Om when he comes onscreen, I usually zone out... lol. Toh I have never really given a thought about his interactions or bonding with anyone tbh. I only really enjoy his scenes with Shivaay...when he lectures him about Annika & their clash of ideals. Those scenes are always a treat. Baaki toh I only take him seriously when he does shayari on Shivika and gives them some indirect guidance and food for thought...initially I used to get weirde-d out at how he always used to divert every single conversation to Annika/ShivIka. I don't think it's normal to be that obsessed with your bro's love life. 😆
