Not something I expect from Shivaay...
On this point, I can still play Devil's Advocate😆...He knows Anika won't give up in trying to get to the bottom of this thing but he still chooses to be deliberately obtuse and has to do things his way...he saw her taking a resolve to find out why he's faking the ML and still his only goal was to try and convince her otherwise...this falls under the category of the usual misplaced overconfidence he has in himself and himself alone to handle everything...even after all he's known and seen of her over time, he thinks he can outwit and outsmart her😆...
The danger line was anyways a token dialogue...I don't buy it...the dialogue writers totally dropped the ball and didn't bother with giving Shivaay anything credible to justify his actions...they should have shown him struggling to grapple with the magnitude of multiple threats on the family and Anika...but we got none of that...all we got were multiple epis of him floating around the house like a bhoot along with that bhootni Tanya...and when the time came, he was either stoic with Anika (this persona may have worked uptil the seperation track cuz Shivaay was struggling with his faith in her but now it really doesn't work for how much his character has evolved and claimed to be in a secure place in his love for her) or just standing cluelessly watching her random comic antics...
For all the nonsense in the Pinky track, the seperation threat was a credible one, still built up over a few epis...here there is literally empty air, nothing...and they are trying to show it as a "credible" threat that compelled Shivaay to disown Anika and hardly struggle with it. Meanwhile Anika on the other hand is finding a lot of comedy in having a fake wife to banter with...we've suspended a lot of disbelief for this show but they really don't seem to know when to quit while they're ahead...Shivika have been liked for their zany/fun vibe but that doesn't mean mindless slapstick.
At the end of the day, it comes down to a simple question...would Shivaay have been ok if Anika had paraded a fake pati in front of him for secret reasons that she didn't think necessary to tell him? I wonder if Lekhika ji has the guts to answer that😛
