Well written post. I watched IB on a spree, i finished it last weekened so the process which a normal viewer has gone through in about a year was summarised for me in about 2 - 3 weeks.
For me Shivaay Anika always had a sexual attraction. They were strong headed like each other, they enjoyed proving themselves to the other and in all that the forced marriage track happened, but isnt what Anika did with Shivaay the same what he did. How did Anika decide that hiding Shivaay's birth truth is going to benefit him?
Shivaay and Anika are two people who are meant to be in love and live a life together somehow they become their own hurdles. Whatever Pinky did or Tia did or even ragini is doing is absolutely baseless infront of what Shivaay and Anika are doing to each other.
Both of them consider control freaks on each other's life. They will decide when which truth should come out, when which emotion should be explored. Shivaay was adamant on bringing Anika's past in front of her, supporting nayntara rubbish and all, and Anika decided that Shivaay has to stay in dark.
Just on the brink when Shivaay had finally taken a step and maybe they could move on, Anika had already taken a decision for their relationship.
Coming to post separation, yet again Anika has decided to bring back the Tadibaaz Shivaay because according to HER thats the best for him and in all that she is deliberately doing what irks him. Challenges his ego, makes fun of him, pays two hoots to whatever he says, but deep down she is still that girl who will sacrifice everything on the love of her life.
Shivaay and Anika need to learn to sacrifice for their relationship, rather than the individual SHIVAAY - ANIKA. They have always thought what is best for the person, not what is best for their relationship, and this shows in the broken conversations they are having post time -lapse.
Mian tumhain samjh nai paya .. ap ne bhi sab buala diya maine pehle kya kya kiya ..
These broken sentences show that they themselves are unable to comprehend what went wrong in them - this attitude that they can make a better decision for the other person. This went wrong. from day one in their relationship.
