res
Pearl, a big hug to you for making a post after ages. SO much has been shown and we were over analyzing I felt at some point during the last few days. We did get some meaningful scenes but some of them fell flat. HS is not upto her usual standards, busy sametoing the raita of ipk3 I suppose. 😆 the problem is the meaningful scenes lack the flow and consistency which is why they fall flat ... the characters are not consistent either (ShivIka I mean) and that makes it worse

Whatever, the baby track has been wrapped up... we had some lovely premises setup...again they fell far short of our expectations, like the dinner arranged for Shivika in the store room.. or their convos when Shivaay cornered Anika before Bhavya interrupted them... i am on a ranting spree... 😆😆 rant on friend ... we will join you with a few more to add 😉

I thought it was best to take it one scene at a time n watch with a detached mindset. Guess most of us are doing that these days. Loved the subtle gestures that was shown between Shivika, like the way his hand lingered on Anika's shoulder when he covered her up n Pari or when Anika stuffed her ears when he was singing to Pari..these two are beyond adorable. uff... and thank goodness for them being such good actors otherwise plot wise kuch bhi nahi hai that makes any sense

With so much overload of baby today there was barely anything to show between Shivika. Don't get me wrong - the baby is cute and adorable but I still failed to see how 2 weeks of baby helped any of the 3 couples learn anything in-depth about each other.
What was the point of 'baby' still evades my understanding

The 3 couples had lessons in time management, what else, that and accepting a baby without thinking of NKK etc...as one of their own. Also I found the explanation by the mom rather lame... written in a hurry..put a guy in a monkey suit n voila..the Saxenas. 🤣 If you see, all through Pari's stay, it was all about scheduling her care. Lesson 101 on that. Finally Anika jumped in on the bandwagon of Pari n we saw Shivaay making moon eyes at his 'perfect' family that he wants but will not acknowledge. 😕 yup..the possibility of pigs flying is certain before we get any meaningful Shivika scenes or Ponky's exposure. 😃 lol ... time management lessons 😆

He still has not recovered from that shock and pain to be able to fully trust her again from what I gather.
So they need Annika to address that first and heal that wound so that the old trust returns while they need to ensure that while she does that he does not feel like a 'dumb jackass' for opening himself to her and lavishing her with unwavering trust while she used that in return to manipulate him. Very tricky as far as I can see unless Harneet is a whiz and surprises me.
I feel they will not address the fight they had 3 months ago..
The separation day was very very brutal for both of them and that itself is a major hurdle that needs to be overcome. Neither walked away from it untouched and unscathed. Both drew blood and both suffered fatal wounds. Both still carry those scars and those wounds that each is now pulling the other up for.

Shivaay is showing tadi n also wants Anika to admit that he matters first, explain why, while she is not budging from her stance... why oh why...lock them up and throw the key away like they did in the jungle.. we atleast got some fab convos then. Yup! and you don't need to lock them away because they are at a stage where they discuss their issues and accuse each other in the open without any reservations complete hubby-wife style but that is what is lacking as you said ... honest to goodness discussions

The score is even for Shivika, both have broken the trust placed in the other, start anew. At some point they do need to talk about what happened or we might get a 5 minute FB scene where Shivaay knows it all. That will be the dumps. the scars and wounds that each had from that fateful day are slowly healing by seeing the other n sharing some moments. why is Anika so surprised when Shivaay touches her?? He has always grabbed her arm even before marriage n he is doing the same... get over it girl..or you are never going to have your own lil Pari soon. Was waiting for dadi to say something about grand kids, she was silent for ONCE n so was PONKY having a constipated expression on her face during the whole pari bye bye rona dhona session. 😭 Yeah ... I believe there is going to be a very emotional reunion so lets see what Harneet has whipped up for us when it happens ultimately 😉

That is what Om addressed today. That is what he is asking Shivvay to do. He is asking him to look closely at himself not Annika.
Love this line here, he is asking Shivaay to take a look inside his heart n see what his mind is refusing to acknowledge. She is a good woman, period, made for him n will care for him/his family selflessly. In return she wants your respect n that from his family. Is that too much to ask? No, not at all considering the sacrifices she has made and as a woman, she deserves that n more. I must say that Shakti looked pleased with having his bahu back in the house, no complaints from him. Explore his relation with kameeni n Pinky... That is what is not happening ... Harneet is busy showing Shivvay analyzing Ragini and her imaginary fiance who some days ago did not even matter to him ... now he is taking charge of her security and her safety like she actually means something to him ... sigh!!!

ol ... poor Gauri. I have no idea what Pinky is doing tormenting that poor girl and what Harneet is trying to achieve here.

Pinky is avenging Jhanvi's insult of her n shows her petty mind, mean spiritedness that is all. She can't be happy for others nor can she see someone happy. All in the family know that she has a razor sharp tongue that is going to cut her to ribbons one day. I hope it happens. She is digging her own grave by being mean to Gauri. She has a thing for people without NKK...let us see..she fawned over Tia/Nagini as they came from rich..NKK families n how did they turn out to be..does not matter at all, neither does her son's happiness. She even taunted Gauri of her son Shivaay keeping her status high.. her pride.. flying high. That is going to crash n burn soon. Jhanvi still talks to her politely considering she knows what she did to separate Shivika. I think post the Tej-Lana..fiasco.. the insecurities/jealousies are coming out, back to square one like at the very start of IB, where Pinky is J of Jhanvi n her status as badi bahu in the house. I think she just craves that title n enjoys belittling people from middle class. 🤢 was thinking of making a post... 😆 I think Harneet loves her too much to make her suffer ... bet you she won't go through even 1/4 of what Annika went through when her time comes

Even if the truth comes out after he has accepted her and chosen to forget the events of that horrible day it will be fine but it has to come out or they will always have that hanging over their heads.
Yes, even if Shivaay falls for Anika all over again, they have to clear the air on that fateful day, that will mar their fresh start. He can't forgive or forget easily n Anika has this power over him that both don't realize. How much she has caused him to change, to become a better person. As he said, only they both can tolerate each other.. jhelna right. 😆 I do hope that they show that addressed and resolved

There are many such things that make him look like a Pappu' and I do not appreciate that she is doing that just to move her story forward and drag this whole separation like her lovely beautiful Arc.
Yup, HS has lost it n is making pappu out of us all. 😆 throwing us a few bones and we are grabbing that as well. 🤣 Got knows her arc n her archaic insane plot of the whacko Nagini who deserves to be locked up n the key thrown into the loch. 🤣 We might get a repeat of the D Horror show. Yikes...
In the mean while waiting for Shivaay to discover his LOST Brains & using the grey cells he has. 😆

I am pasting what I wrote in AY's thread.

3 scenes struck me the most, obviously the Shivika scene with Pari in the bathroom, the RiKara-Ma convo and the Shiv_Om convo. It is good to see the soft, caring Om, who does not shy away from speaking the truth be it to Shivaay or Gauri's Ma.

Shivika convo was real and both expressed what was in their hearts without any layers covering it. The raw naked truth for the other to see, no matter what turmoil they have been through or whether their relation has a name, none of it matters. The other half matters, they are 2 halves of a whole. They exposed that side today and both speaking with HAQ and with their voice breaking was just awesome. it was not what we want but I guess it will have to do

Anika is back to their room/bed like a homing pigeon and Shivaay could not take his eyes off the spectacle that was presented. he could have had that, it was crushed by the same woman. An irony and Om giving him a nudge in the right direction. both are to blame Nimmy ... takes two to 'tanga' remember as per Annika ...lol

Om declaring that Gauri is different but not of lesser status due to her lack of education was too sweet. He is able to see the shine under the grime he had tarred her with. Gauri is falling for this Om now, the one who speaks gently, respectfully and showing his softer side. ahhh! balm to the soul ... my Om is back and thank God for that .. she had butchered him a while back

Rudy was good too, when he was yelling at Bhavya... his ego, his heart is bruised poor Rudy baba. these guys need to move at the speed of light to catch up .. she needs to work more on them as well

Special mention of NM who was brilliant in the goodbye scene, LM crying so much... he was such a teddy bear... undone by a little baby who wrapped all the 3 Obros around her little finger. Yep! They better not get girls or they are going to make them all dance 😆

Bang on

And all I have to say is a sensible post as always pearl tks Ruzz baby ... more discussion on the discussions we have already been having for weeks now ..lol only this time we decided to throw a party and invite everyone on the forum right?? 😉

Have so much to say but here goes my feeble attempt
1) both the characters keep flipping as if they are bipolar lol poor ShivIka lol ... khud confused hai bechare

2) they still dont have any sense to try and sort their issues. i am a bit more lenient with shivaay on this as he doesnt know the truth - anika - less said the better. maha level of character butchering going on agreed ... i wish they would show her denying the engagement in anger at least once. That will be enough progress to start the ball rolling

3) u are right only ragini is consistent - shows harneet's love for weirdos like her - makes sense to me as she can easily write about them then a regular normal relationship. Well she is a friend and is supposed to be his fiance in front of Anika - so he continues with his act - fine get it even though it is more childish than what we did to get dates during high school proms - chalo pass diya but the main problem I have isnt him not saying anything in front of Anika..its that even when Anika isnt around he doesnt tell Rags to stop taunting Anika or as a matter of fact his own brothers, bhabhi anyone. what happened to family man shivaay and that is what I mentioned during the kitchen scene when Nagini had a go at Gauri ... how are they showing that Nagini is allowed to talk Gauri down while her 'older BIL' is standing right there ... where was the Family man Shivvay in that scene that she wrote or did he conveniently hide under the kitchen counter because the writer needed him to do that for her scene to spin
As I mentioned there is no consistency in what happens with the poor character from one day to the next thanks to the writer

4) and these random lollipop scenes that are so rejoicing😆- sorry but can i laugh at the nonsense as anyone who has been in a real relationship will know that nothing like what they are showing on screen will happen till the elephant in the room is addressed. clearly harneet has 0 sense about real equations and some of her hyper harmonal fan girls are the same based on twitter reactions😆. no two exs go on date after date even if it is a set up with so many MUs to clear
5) no girl is as spineless as anika in real life or so i hope
6) and no buisness man of the year is as brainless as shivaay. its cringe fest to watch them onscreen these days and its coming from a shivika fan as there is no f**king flow not a word to add to this as people in 'real' relationships will know what you are talking about

PS: this whole separation which was not needed caused this. i was hoping against hope that they will somehow fix it by now. make shivika talk - clear atleast one MU, just one and it would make 5% of the sense to me but nope - they are acting like nothing happened - dear lord oh lord. as we discussed, gul needs to take the reigns back and give her a basic plot to do screenplay on otherwise we will keep getting this contrived version which is not worth even reading about forget watching I truly hope Gul takes the reins back at least till ShivIka is reunited again. I am almost afraid to watch the catharsis mentioned unfolding when the separation scene was apparently written with tears in the eyes. I hope they do justice to the couple they made

PPS: Mannie who is mocking and bullying u sweetie - ignore them no need to talk to such people - it's just a show, let it be their obsession ;) Yup! Mannie ... discussions are healthy only till the 'freedom of speech' is respected .. if it isn't then one must make a clean break from such discussions ... besides as Ruzz said it's just a show 😉

I just remembered if Gulneet feel powerful destroying something so beautiful why not prove their superpowers again by bringing back Rags bhabhi from ashes make her the most sensible of all in IBthen she would knock some sense into Samar- to his Mom- both together to Rags ... Shivika left alone ... return of shark Singh Oberoi OMM of pinky etc etc etc return of IB with a bang n finally happy hour for all of us

Or is that hoping and expecting too much ?????? Yes my darling apparently it is I have been told ... I too expected so much more depth and story-line during the separation since Harneet impressed upon us the fact that she was such a brilliant writer ... I expected a plot inside a plot and who knows what else but like they say "khoda pahad aur nikla chuha' lol 🤣
Harneets brilliance is in loops and arcs .. geometric designs it seems 😉

I think from what they showed today..they are trying to show that Shivaay cares for Annika..loves her too but still doesn't realize his love and the depth of his love.. he still follows his mind and focuses on facts or what he sees rather than following his heart which says Annika isn't the girl she was portraying to be..

I wish Harneet WAS thinking that deep but I truly doubt it as I did not see anything that pointed to that realization. She is busy fangirling over Ragini and seems happy to focus on her psychotic issues with Annika getting Sivvay's attention and "Fatal Attraction' kind of obsessions with Shivvay, rather than giving any ShivIka growth. . One almost Family hug, with Annika and baby, and half a dozen vague lines do not show growth and progress enough for me to see Shivvay feeling any of those things.

Asking her to show the man to introspect is like asking her to make pigs fly'.
Frankly Ragini is the only one who Harneet has kept in character up till now, itna pyaar hai uss sey . Even Samar she has flipped and changed into a nice, sensitive and normal guy ..lol

Yes Shivvay feels a deep love for her, we all know that, but he is back to what he was when Annika was in his life - busy dealing and paying attention to everyone and everything except his own feelings about Annika and what he wants with respect to her, his marriage and what his stand is on it and most importantly his list of people with respect to priorities. Now that she is back he has time for everyone except her.

As far as I am concerned, when she left him he was a better Shivvay towards her and with respect to living his life.

He thought about her incessantly, found excuses to hang outside her chawl, kept out of other people's affairs and did not go rescuing damsels in distress' blindly. He very sensibly offered to send a doctor and the police to handle those things then and for some strange reason now he seems to have lost all that common sense.

I feel her return has seen the return of the dumb Shivvay who is back to sorting out everyones problems, though they have a Family of their own, except his wife who is the real orphan here. Harneet seriously needs to stop smoking whatever it is she is smoking for the past 50+ episodes right now and start making some kind of sense with her writing.

With so much overload of baby today there was barely anything to show between Shivika. Don't get me wrong - the baby is cute and adorable but I still failed to see how 2 weeks of baby helped any of the 3 couples learn anything in-depth about each other.
What was the point of 'baby' still evades my understanding?

The fact that Om mentions that he is stupid to not realize that Annika is the best wife and would be the best mother.. and then told him that he still waiting for the part where his heart finally takes over his mind kinda makes me feel that is how the writer is taking this track..

Yes. I can see that is one of the issues that has been at the back of Shivvay's mind but they have bigger ones to deal with right now and those need to be addressed first. His heart will take over his mind only when the separation pain is addressed first. There it was the heart that was wounded when she broke his trust and mind that was tricked by the way she laid the facts out to manipulate him to react exactly how she wanted him to.

I am really curious how Harneet is going to work herself out of this corner she has painted herself into ...lol

He still has not recovered from that shock and pain to be able to fully trust her again from what I gather.

So they need Annika to address that first and heal that wound so that the old trust returns while they need to ensure that while she does that he does not feel like a 'dumb jackass' for opening himself to her and lavishing her with unwavering trust while she used that in return to manipulate him. Very tricky as far as I can see unless Harneet is a whiz and surprises me.

I feel they will not address the fight they had 3 months ago..

The separation day was very very brutal for both of them and that itself is a major hurdle that needs to be overcome. Neither walked away from it untouched and unscathed. Both drew blood and both suffered fatal wounds. Both still carry those scars and those wounds that each is now pulling the other up for.

You really think something this major between a husband and wife, with the dynamics that ShivIka has, is going to be brushed under the carpet by either one of them!!!! I think not.

If I am not mistaken this is just the calm before the storm. I am almost ready for a major private showdown. They will have to address that at some point before they actually move ahead.

Besides, Annika still feels that he has hang ups about his NKK and that his expectations regarding that are still the same. He, for his part, needs to understand if NKK does really matter to him still with regards to either himself, her or their children before he decides what he wants to do.

That is what Om addressed today. That is what he is asking Shivvay to do. He is asking him to look closely at himself not Annika.

and Pinky's exposure is still being postponed until Shivaay is totally madly in love with Annika and starts following his heart.. the way this track has been going on until now.. I don't see Pinky getting exposed anytime soon.. and looks like she isn't even involved in Shivika's story right now and just busy digging her own grave by now irritating Gauri..

lol ... poor Gauri. I have no idea what Pinky is doing tormenting that poor girl and what Harneet is trying to achieve here. If Om ever overhears Pinky saying what she does to gauri, he is going to burst a blood vessel more because of what she pulled with ShivIka than for insulting Gauri. This is no Shivvay here this is Om who is almost a carbon copy of Annika. This crap does not matter to him.

Pinky's exposure is never happening as Harneet likes keeping her in the arc and ShivIka on a loop. That is the extent of her creative mind.

I dont know how I feel about this track right now.. I mean if they are actually going towards making Shivaay the ultimate ishqbaaz who believes in what his heart says rather than NKK or what his mind says basically.. it may not be bad.. we were all pissed by the way Shivaay had reacted to Annika after her antics 3 months ago.. becoz even after knowing her for so long he never really understood her and her love for him and his family.. he just saw what she did at face value and broke their marriage.. but now they are trying to show him falling in love with her..and her alone..falling in love with her for who she is.. he knows she is a good bahu and a good wife.. and from today's Shivkara conversation he has started thinking about how good she is as a mother too..

No clue because Ragini is in the spotlight again now that baby is out f OM. So either baby or Ragini or some other person is being given SS but ShivIka is where they are inspite of all these other catalysts. They are moving at slower than a snails pace in their growth.

I think I may be okay with them accepting each other for who they are.. and falling in love.. basically like Annika fell in love with Shivaay even with his flaws.. it would be good if Shivaay also fell totally in love with Annika without actually knowing the whole truth about the extent to which she sacrificed herself for him and his family.. that would show that he has finally changed.. he loves her for who she is and sees a future with her..and then Pinky's truth and his illegitimacy truth may come out when he has his wife and brothers to support him..

If Shivvay never knows about her sacrifice then that would be a sad thing, not only for Annika but for him as well. It will mean Annika sacrificed and will never receive the acknowledgement but only bitterness for that memory she gave him and Shivvay will always carry the hurt of rejection and refusal for laying his heart at her feet.

Even if the truth comes out after he has accepted her and chosen to forget the events of that horrible day it will be fine but it has to come out or they will always have that hanging over their heads.

The episodes have been all over the place for the past week.. I wasn't very happy with yesterday's episode also.. but the fact that Shivaay is still behaving dumb when it comes to Ragini shows that he still believes only in what he sees.. just the facts that are presented to him.. I cannot blame him totally for that though as I feel Harneet has made him dumber than he is for her writing convenience. She has made Shivvay changeable and he is not that.

Yes he trusts easily and works only with facts and that is why he fails to see what Annika is seeing most times because he accepts most things at face value unless given reason to doubt.

But if he deals with facts then why is he not using certain facts that do not ring true just like Annika and Bhavya are. For example the fact she keeps saying Sidharth thinks they are engaged. Who told him? How did he find out? How did he send a video of them to his Family? Why make a video and defame a girl you want to marry with a divorced man? Why are her brother and mother not calling him about this and saying they will handle it?

These are things that the writer has made inconsistent about him ... his character is one that does question and deal with facts. So you see we see different Shivvay's depending on how the writer wants him to be that day.

There are many such things that make him look like a Pappu' and I do not appreciate that she is doing that just to move her story forward and drag this whole separation like her lovely beautiful Arc.

and that is where his growth lies.. he needs to start thinking from his heart.. trust instincts.. and to trust his instincts he needs to start having instincts..like Annika does.. like Rudy does.. basically he needs to start thinking from his heart and that is where his growth will be in terms of his thought process and his relationship..

He needs to gel both heart and mind not just use his heart and yes that is true.


Bravo! You penned what I had been planning to say! Word to word! Right now, they are portraying Shivaay as the most stupid man on the planet! With not an iota of commom sense!

They better spruce up his actions and character! Hasnt he been burned once by Tia?

Thank you for the post. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks this baby track was utter crap (no offense to the baby, she is cute). My sentiments exactly ... we were promised ShivIka, RiKara and RuVya post separation but from what I see no real work is being done on any of the couples

So I asked my bestfriend to watch IB and give it a chance. She watched Monday's episode and she was like this is so much drama. She liked Annika, but she was like the Villain (Pinky) is so extra. And then I started explaing my friend that you gotta watch from the beginning because it's the growth of each character that is beautiful.

And that's when I realized that what got me attached to this show was its characters. Shivaay is my favorite because his character had shown immense growth from the first episode to the episode before the lapse. I like him because he's unpredictable and has many shades/layers. He can flip anytime. And that's what happen during the wedding track.Though his flip was so beast like, but we were still be to see why he did what he did. We didn't get his legit redemption, but his journey from forcing Annika to marry him to accepting her as wife to letting go of her NKK to finally proposing remarriage was incredible and I can't help but fall more in love with Shivaay. lol ... I fell in love with Shivvay as well.

I never really cared about the external drama as long as the characters were growing and in their element. Because to me the characters are important. With all the drama of Nayantara track, when everyone was busying thinking about the Pinky drama, my focus was soley on small things that Shivaay was doing for Annika whether it be hiding Nayantara from her fearing her reaction or calling her with a silent nod to join him for Maha arti. These small things showed his growth. True ... so true

And that's why I think the baby track just messed everything up more. It is not the drama that made this track crap because common I have stick to this show through more crappier tracks like the kapoor sissters, Kamini-Daksh and Nayantara. But at least those tracks focused on some type of growth. Yup!

My reasons for not liking this baby drama:

1. The purpose of the track? Gain TRPs? That's it. They could have save this track for future. It would have make more sense to show this baby after the couples have cleared their misunderstandings. Like imagine 3 couples starting on a new note and the baby entry could have addressed their trust issues. Agreed

2. Inconsistent Shivaay. How can he say no to DNA test? Like isn't he the SEARCH Singh Oberio? What if the baby isn't an Oberio? They still can't keep the baby because it's illegal. Keeping logic aside, they are just showing Shivaay dumb to glorify Annika because not just the baby, he is also not doing any background check for Sidhhart who is apparently after his "Bestfriend's" life. Ahhh! don't get me started on this topic or I shall have to make another post lol 😆 My beef with the writer messing Shivvay up royally

3. Hypocrite Omkara? I thought Om never lies. He certainly hide things, but never lies. Remember the Mallika track? He wasn't able to lie about Tia not coming to Party. Rudy had to Jump in because his Sach ka Boyfriend can't lie. But the same Omkara is lying without any hesitation. Small lies, but still lies are lies. Like saying to Rudy that he never said next. Or saying that Shivaay is sick. No fumbling, no hesitation. Agree that the character of Omkara changed a lot post spin off, but still this is suppose to be his main element. Yes!!! ... someone else is bothered about her doing this to Om besides me!!! I have slapped my head so many times when I see scenes like those and thought, "what is she doing to Om for heavens sake?? He is a man who abhors lies - how can you make him lie?? "
He too wavers back and forth from his character like Shivvay and Annika.

4. Annika. I don't want to even get started with her character. Let's just not go there. agreed ... we might start a war on the forum 😆

So basically the leap was suppose to show Annika's growth. Forget growth, all I can see is fall down of Shivaay and Annika. The writers are just hell bent on ruining the characters which of course they created with so much love (or at least they say they did) Sigh!
It was supposed to be because that is how it was projected to us but I guess many people are ok with the writer suddenly flipping more than 'Free Willy' did in the movie ..lol

Awesome post! I think we all had enough of this haphazard writing and her never-ending arcs.

Gosh i am so sick of the words arc and loops thanks to the writer over using both

Completely agree with you the last 3 weeks did nothing for the show. After the merge, the show has been all over the place and the characters more inconsistent than usual. I'm not sure what the writers are doing anymore. It's like a bizarre universe where the characters are the same, but the separation didn't happen and random comedy took over. The first week there was still some anger and hurt from both of them then it all took a backseat for the convenience of the track. Exactly!!! This is a couple that went through such a painful separation but both are behaving as if it was merely a lovers spat. Does the writer even understand the pain she wrote and it's implications on a marriage like ShivIka's ?? After the leap and merger we are getting some random comedy in the name of IB. None of the progress we were promised is seen and the couple are more interested in playing games rather than actually talk it out.

Did Shivvay really need Om to be mature enough to point out that they need to talk?? Tell Ragini to take a break for a few days from her everyday attendance at the OM and focus on your own damn issues. If that woman does not step out Sid will not get to her. Hand her responsibility over to her brother. You said you were going to get engaged - you are not engaged yet so Annika will not find that strange. Besides she will understand it as a brother looking after his sister so the act can still remain.

They are testing the patience of they audience who is getting pretty bored and impatient from what I can understand. They better work on the ShivIka talking it out angle

The villains were never an issue for me. I don't like the rebooting of old tracks where the characters behave and react the way they did in the past while learning nothing. The writers seem to forget some of us have been watching the show for a year now so its impossible to ignore all the progress the characters made for the sake of the track. Shivaay has learned nothing from Tia or spending all that time with Anika. Anika has learned nothing about Shivaay and what value she holds in his life. The difference between then and now is their fights were real and legitimate in the past but now it's all forced just to keep Ragini around. We could have gotten better formed conflicts instead of Anika saving Shivaay again from another vamp. ha! ha! ... the never ending loop that she is conveniently on

Valid question what did the baby track do? Absolutely nothing. The perfect wife and perfect mother comment, which was sweet made absolute no sense because he already knew that fact for months now and communicated it to Rudra. Did the writers forget this? I really loved that scene because he made a promise to himself, her, and Rudra that she would always be happy and wouldn't let her suffer anymore. What's the point of rehashing obstacles he overcame months ago? Anika might not know how far he has come, but the audience does. It seems like a TRP gimmick to me. Shivaay has flaws that should be addressed, but NKK isn't one of them anymore. It's a shame the writers are discrediting their own character and the journey he made to get where he is now for a silly track. Spot On!! That is exactly what I feel as well.

What the writers should have done use the baby to highlight his longing and the loss he felt over the past 3 months. His hurt about her actions, his disappointment in letting his anger get the best of him, or his sadness at not being able to keep his promise. It seems like a copout to put all the blame on Shivaay again using the NKK obsession he overcame months ago while Anika gets a pass because of a previous comment he made. Where is her guilt for hurting him? She did it to protect him, but she still hurt him. Why isn't she apologizing? Why isn't she trying to make up for her mistakes? When will she start fighting for her own happiness instead of conceding without a fight? He can start to see past his hurt when she acknowledges she did in fact hurt him. Ahh! Girl apparently we should not be asking these questions because the writer can flip anytime ... I have asked these over and over again but it seems the writer suffers from amnesia ... she cannot remember her own past plots. The stuff you said about Annika was all mentioned in one of my posts the day after she returned to the OM and started flaunting about her fiance and going to dinner with him. You rip the mans heart out and then you do a 'jig' on it just to bring back his Taddi?? How does bruising his pride and his feelings bring back his Taddi? Pray tell as I am very stumped by this

They are back in each other's lives with many issues that need to be addressed now isn't the time for comedy fillers lol. The writers need to sit down and think about their story because right now its not going anywhere nor does it make sense. We can ask but ain't no one listening sista through that haze of weed that is being smoked 😆

Okay I had to comment here.

Superb superb post.

The thing the writer is doing wrong here is neither catering to the fans demands fully nor sticking to her own plot wholly. As in she listens to the fans demands and alters her original plot somewhat (not fully) and the end result is a khichdi no one likes.

Either stick to the original plot or listen to the fans demands completely.

She gave us a separation, though because it was so abrupt I as a fan couldn't connect. You cant separates couple like Shivika in just an episode. There should have been a slow build up for it, for me as a viewer, as a fan to take it seriously.

But still I accepted it. Maybe its trust issues. Maybe insecurities. Its not a crime to feel such things. We all go through that. The thing that bugs me I the blatant disregard of issues they have as individuals, and as a couple. Where is the angst from both their sides? Where is the guilt from Anika's sides? Hurting someone deliberately is painful. Deliberately Hurting someone you love the most must be something more. The despair and helplessness, did we get those things? No!
Instead we are getting the now silly nok jhoks, the farak games, the juvenile jealousy games. They are making a mockery of not just their divorce and separation but also their love. When they gave us Divorce, I wanted angst. I wanted desperation. I wanted sheer helplessness from both of them. I wanted connection between them even they are physically apart. Now they are living under the same roof, in the same room even, but i don't feel the connection.

The only thing I can hope now is the reunion shouldn't be forced. Then the connection will be lost forever.
