First of all, I'm glad you're back Asya. The forum felt incomplete without your analysis. Although Anisa was pretty good with her analysis.
Thank you. Yes, Anisa has great posts and analysis and she saves the day when I am too lazy to make one myself. Dear Anisa 😊
I'd like to start off with about how right you are about no one, not one Oberoi, knowing how deep Shivika's relationship has gotten. Hell, not even OmRu know anymore. They just know he's head-over-heels for the girl. I feel like the weight of the Gayatri Murder case and ONS MU are real solidifiers as to Shivaay's reasons to love Annika. I feel like Annika gave up her honor for Shivaay, that's when he started to feel a longing for her, because they are both reckless. They stand in front of each other like a wall.
The Gayatri murder case was an important corner stone in his understanding of how strong, confident and totally in control a woman Annika was. His admiration for her and his paranoia for her safety grew from there on. He seemed more and more drawn to her and focused on her after that. He looked like a moth drawn to her flame.
Annika never wavered in her professionalism as the wedding planner or did anything to merit that kind of obsessive attention from him but Shivvay gave it to her nonetheless. Shivvay had fallen hook, line and sinker by then and had completely lost all control over himself since that time. You could say he had begun to see Annika as 'HIS' from then on even with a marriage with Tia being planned. i know that it sounds completely weird and wrong when I say that but that is who Shivvay was.
Shivaay is most likely attracted to how she challenges him or can show him up. Shivaay and Annika are very similar, Annika is not just a copycat. (which I find weird for Shivaay to say.) Shivika are meant to have 36 traits in common with each other. Stubbornness, love for their brother, ego, attitude, and self-respect are just the major ones. These things tie into why Shivaay is so smitten with Annika.
lol .. yes the 'copy cat' bit is a little funny and I think it is just his way of teasing her and poking her pride about her being 'one of a kind'. I love the way he manages to find her soft spots and unnerve her just like she knows how to turn him into the stuttering and awkward 'Billuji' 😉
Shivvay is 'smitten' by her - that is so perfect that you say that. The word is apt to describe what he feels for her.
I was quite taken by surprise that he admitted so freely to her causing him 'pangs' in his heart just by the way she looks at him. That was quite a admission and that too without any hesitation or reservations about what it would mean in relation to his NKK.
He is admitting to feeling things, is making moves and getting intimate with a girl who he has reservations about NKK??!!
See that is why I need to hear HIM mention NKK again because the man seems to have forgotten that this is a word that exists now at least where Annika is concerned. It is as if as an 'Oberoi Bride and Bahu' she is above all reproach of lack of NKK now. Being Shivvay wife has automatically put her with the NKK types.
During the ONS MU, these things are tested and when Shivaay thinks Annika failed, he tries to cope with his heartbreak by moving forward in marriage, only to become bound to Annika and learning that she had done nothing. However, NO ONE in the house knows this side of their story. They didn't hear Shivaay's scream of anguish when he thought he lost Annika because of his own mistake. They did not see Shivaay's longing for Annika when she put distance between them during ShiTia's 3rd wedding.
Again true. That is what I meant when i said how much does anyone really know about ShivIka and their dynamics. They only know what Shivvay and Annika let them see when in public. These two are very guarded about their marriage and relationship as though they fear someone might cast an evil eye on it ...lol
Shivvay himself has not openly expressed to Annika how much she matters to him and the little that he tells her is what she has to go by. That is where her insecurity about her past coming into play stems from. She sees what he shows in his eyes but the look of longing and despair that he wears when he thinks he is about to lose her is something even she has not witnessed ever. Hence her need to hear him say what she sees in his eyes. The assurance that she matters more than her lack of NKK.
Honestly, my question sometimes is, does Shivaay have a right to be upset with Annika for trying to keep this stuff from him? How will Shivaay change when he doesn't even know the real Annika. I mean, how long did it take for Shivaay to learn Sahil is handicap? I understand her fear, but she needs to move forward otherwise she'll always just live in her fears of being without Shivaay.
That is what is being addressed by the writers I feel at this stage. The relationship needs to move forward or end. As I always said - I have a beef about him not seeing a future with her and her as the mother of his children. Who gave him the right to decide that she should stay married to him but never experience the happiness of being a wife and a mother in the true sense. If there is no future what is he expecting for the next 25 odd years in this marriage?? FNP and dard games till they are 50??
With what some people have said about Mahi not lasting long, I wouldn't be hopeful about any sort of meaningful relationship for Mahi. He's going to be a tragic character. 'Jo hoga, vo dikhega nahi' is perfect for Mahi, because no one has seen what Mahi has done at all, or whatever's happened to him. When Mahi was dancing to Gandi Baat, Annika called him cheapde - she didn't see his pain. When Mahi saved Shivaay, they thought it was him being evil - they didn't see his anguish or him rescuing Shivaay. Because, whether Mahi is an Oberoi or not, he's not going to get a happy ending. That might not be possible if Nakuul is hella tired from all the work.
Maybe - maybe not. I reserve my reply for when there is a little more Mahi-Shivvay progress.
If the writers had focused more on other characters, it would be better. Maybe give something to RuMya, a conversation, banter, a look.
I too need more from RumYa for heavens sake. This whole thing is beginning to look stagnant and the poor couple is even beginning to lose their spark. With PriVeer almost gone we have room for RumYa. Send them on Vanvas with ShivIka - please !!!! That should at least give them some 'moments'.😭
Just something to make Nakuul do less work, so he'll be less exhausted. Or how about progressing ShInky's relationship. You know, they are husband and wife. You could show Shakti falling for Pinky now. That way she has something to be attached too, other than Shivaay. Or maybe you can forget Pinky's insecurities, pass it off as one of your inconsistencies, and give Pinky and Annika a good relationship.
Asya, I seriously think Annika's past is not going to be something grand scale. Unless this show is going to convince me that Annika and Shivaay's past somehow interconnect with each other. She's just going to be an orphan who grew up in a harsh life.
Ms. Gul always relates the ML and FL past and it is always something earthshaking and ground breaking... lol
It will have to do with Oberoi's being the cause of Annika's and Gauri's misfortune just like it would be the cause of Saumya's.
So, by the way, are we bringing back Daksh to destroy Shivaay's NKK too? I mean, our dear psycho always has to push the lovers together... That's literally always it, right? Last time he was here, Shivaay said Annika is his wife.
If I hear 'Daksh is back' once more I will boycott IB. There is enough room for ShivIka to grow without outside forces working against them. I swear I will fly to Mumbai and wring his neck😡
You know, when Shivaay said he can't see Annika as the mother-of-his children, I thought of something funny. Well, to equate that, Annika should say that she never wanted to have kids in the first place. That way they can both change for something.
lol ... that would be fun actually. I wonder how Shivvay would convince her to have kids then?? OmRu would have such a laugh about that 😆
