I was thinking back to Harneets twitter post from the other day where she stated this track will unfold something and there's a reason for bringing Daksh back.
Now smartly the producers also released the new promo at the same time showing Shivaay accepting Annika in public. But isn't that too good to be true? We know their promos are super misleading.
We all have the hopes that with Daksh's entry - this public acceptance will happen ( I pray it does) but it's television, what we expect isn't usually what happens.
I think the outcome of this track can go in several ways:
1) Shivaay accepts Annika in media OR
2) Priyanka gets married, and the truth about her saving her brother comes out. Shivaay realizes the whole "what goes around comes around phenomenon" he forced Annika to marry him using Sahil, now someone did the same to his sister. It will be a HUGE self realization. To this date he always justifies the marriage as something he did for his family. When his brothers were doing the same thing he justified that as well. But now HIS SISTER doing the same thing...I don't know if a brother will handle that well? OR
3) if no acceptance in media occurs Annika's trust will break in Shivaay- she will be hurt, she will try to leave OM, but Shivaay won't let her. Instead Annika will begin to build herself again. She had become a doormat for the past while, and I feel this will be the trigger to wake her internal tadibaaz again. She will begin to start working etc. She will distance herself from Shivaay, and the turning point here is Shivaay will realize what Annika means for him. He already knows, but it will be another step on the ladder ( mind you this ladder has a million steps lol)
In order for Shivika to progress it's Shivaays character that has to progress. He has to go through multiple phases to understand that the girl he's fighting for against Daksh IS also his family. Up to now, it's always family vs Annika for him, and he needs to realize that she IS his family. The dadi had said on the reception night that she is the kandan izzat...Shivaay needs to understand that.
I can be super wrong about all this...just some thoughts that were running through my mind!
