My point of view has changed greatly after reading this cause I never saw it in this light and I never would of if I had I not read this. What you said about Pinky I would say is completely true and to back up your point Pinky did state how she felt when Shivaay didn't care enough to fix her broken English in the earlier episodes after Mallika left (they were talking about women equality). Pinky has mainly focused on Shivaay being the heir to the Oberoi empire where as in Annika has been focused on what's best for Shivaay and what he wants. I truly love the way you have put this. I love this new Shivaay that we get to see he is so possessive and we all know there is going to be a separation track cause what's a love story w/o one. Shivaay is definitely not psychotic right now b/c he is living for himself so he shouldn't be compared to Daksh in any way. Please do correct me if I'm wrong but I think that b/c of Daksh mainly Shivaay's trust on Annika is where it is right. I feel that now a days the dialouges have become very emotional and powerful. They were before, but the whole Rudra consoling Annika, Pinky's emotions as a mother, when Shivika got to meet each other in the hospital, OmRu fighting w/ Pinky aunty, Shivaay asking Annika to come back, and Annika saying "mein ek maa ke dil nahi todd sakti" its all so emotional and has so much meaning behind it. And adding the pain and hurt on their face and in their voice makes all these actors amazing. So thanks a lot for this post cause it has helped me immensely.
