I am in love with your post and completely agree with it.
Thank you Vaishnavi and I yours. You have written such a beautiful reply, and your take on what i wrote, that I did not want to give a hurried response to it (half asleep). Sorry i took my time but I had to in order to do proper justice to what you wrote. 😊
I think this is the first show I have watched with such a steady and slow progress between the male and female lead. And i think credit goes to the makers of these characters and the actors who so beautifully portray the scenes, but more so to the makers for creating those scenes, writing those dialogues. It shows how much thought goes into portraying Shivikas relationship. They dont rush and say okay guys, fans want romance, give them it, fans want more passion and progress, give them it. Yes. In this one respect I am glad that the writers are giving us a unique experience with this couple. They are portraying the beauty of marriage not just of love and romance. They are progressing on a daily basis with daily struggles and everyday response to those struggles.
They progress they way they want to, and hats off to Nakuul and surbhi for portraying these scenes, that very scene where he pulls her into his arms, their expressions were so on point and it all the more highlights Shivikas current equation where he has become devoted to her, and him being SSO that the kinds of things this man does, he would take someones life for her, he'd wipe her tears, lift her forcefully and bring her home because she is his wife, they fight but she is now his wife whom he is fully committed to so come home with me and lets fight. Yes that is exactly what has happened. Shivvay is in a good place right now. He is at peace with what he has and who he has as his 'partner for life'. Now that he has committed and he has her there is no way he is going to let her back out of this 'deal' that he knows is the best for them both.
In everyday life husbands may or may not lift their wives bodily and drag them back but they do say exactly what Shivvay said, "fight, yell, scream and throw a tantrum but in your house and with your husband. This is OUR issue not the worlds and WE deal with it together not ALONE."

She has love for him stored in the most innocent and selfless zones of her soul. This Woman has seen a lot in life and its no wonder that now that she has fallen, she sees him as this treasure, to admire, to love, to tease, to try all sorts of things to get her way.
Yes. He is what she treasures because he truly is the only thing that will ever belong ONLY to her. Sahil will marry one day and be a husband and father even though he belongs to her but Shivvay is hers and hers alone. Even if becomes a Father it is to HER children and he is her husband and hers alone.
She does admire him, look up to him but thankfully does not revere him like a perfect God. She loves him inspite of his flaws and his shortcomings and that is true love.
Her inner child and innocence comes out when she is with him, and as a child she didn't have a chance to be naive and simple, she was always a warrior. And that is why he too indulges her like one. That is what irks Pinky - that Shivvay pampers, indulges, gives in and cuddles the 'child' in Annika. There are times he sounds and acts more older than her but that is the protective and nurturing side of him that she brings out. You see instances when he actually takes her 'in hand' and guides her thoughts and actions.
As far as I can see, for the past few episodes, there has been a conscious effort from Shivvay to 'Groom' the Mrs. Annika Shivvay Singh Oberoi in her. He loves the 'Just Annika' about her but that is kinda of the 'Mere Shivvay' that only Annika sees. The ASSO is the one that will face the outside world and tackle it. That is why he keeps saying, "you are MY strong Annika!! You can do anything and are not afraid of anyone"
So now shes taking a little extra time to fully become that wife in that aspect but her heart and soul already is his. I think this is so beautiful because it shows how much there is a stark differnce between Them and it doesnt try to merge the two characters now that sparks are flying. He is way ahead of this game with much more exposure and experience. We cannot expect Annika to just catch up with him by leaps and bounds!! She has to progress into the physical intimacy at her own pace.

Also, He is older first of all, he was always more exposed, he has been in two relationships before, obviously he is gonna be a lot more comfortable with certain things, he has studied in London, he has seen a lot of this world. He is a logical, practical man. Of course yes.
He is her first love, she has seen this world in a totally different way, love and relationships have never made its way to her except for Sahil. She is modern yes, but he has more exposure. And she is younger than him. Its cute to see the way he brings out naive innocent Annika behind all that tadi. Its not just Anni who brings out A shivaay version 2. Yes. That is true. That is the 'Just Annika' that comes out. It is absolutely adorable to watch her reactions even to his very mild flirting and advances. It is because she has never seen Shivvay like this and cannot imagine him saying and doing such things. He has always been Prinku's older brother or OmRu's older brother. It is only off late that he has started becoming (post Daksh which has not been too long) Mere Shivvay.
I think its amazing because she teaches him while she learns a lot from him too. They compliment each of ther and bring out qualities in each other that have not been fully explored by them individually. They encourage each other to become their true self, to be comfortable in their own skin around each other. They have always, from the very start, been their own selves with each other. Neither tried to impress the other with their good qualities and that is why it is so easy for them to shed all those masks when they are alone and just be who they really are.
Remember when he asked if she was embarrassed? That was the epitome of adoration. That was him saying, I am your husband, do not feel ashamed with me, I want to see the best,the worst, the good the bad, the times when youre happy and the times when youre a mess. Show it to me, let me bring you back to yourself, but dont hide. We are here to help eqch other, to see the ugly parts of each other, to see whats broken, and to not be ashamed, but to console and care for each other, because we are together and in this for life. So cry, bawl and cry loudly in my arms if you have to, sprawl all over my lap and let your tears fall, let your nose run damnit it really doesn't make a difference, theres no shame, no scorn no embarrassment. Just us together. Do not hide from me No words to add. So beautifully explained. That was such a brilliant take on that scene. 👏
They both screw up, they both think differently, and I love the way they haven't made them fall in love and be cliche and mushy as in other serials. They stay true to their form. And in their relationship they are equals.
I have dragged on a lot but such an excellent post about my favourite couple of all times had me riled up. They are and I think will be my favourite for a long time as well. I am going to be measuring all others to them in the near future. I can see myself bawling my eyes out when IB is no more. That is why I like the slow progress. As I said I want a 1000+ episodes of IB
Thanks for a beautiful read and such positivity. I for one have no complains about their development. I think its spectacular and so beautifully captured.
Anyways, is enough rambling. Nice post big hug to you🤗 Thank you so much for posting this very wonderful reply. I enjoyed reading your ramblings. Please always feel free to 'ramble on' on my posts. It was positively enjoyable to meet and read another ShivIka enthusiast
