It's true what Bhavya said, what Annika is going through is completely normal. Might be a tad annoying to people who haven't been through it.

Romance and a beautiful wedding propels you to a high antigravity state, that new feeling of being with the man you love as your husband, with all the Haqs and Perks. This man is Mine.
We women think up stories, plots, progression, melodramatic climax and ending in a myriad of different ways depending on our mood or emotions of the day. If sad, we write emo stories in our head where we suspend our logic and common sense and rip it with the dramatics. Hahaha.. nice troll HS, raised a glass to all overthinking women out there. Cheers. I liked the matter-of-fact way Bhavya unapologetically said it.

Insecurities & the illogical power of it.

True story: my husband and I had a stupid fight about a month after marriage over a colleague of mine (Yeah, no honeymoon, too busy). To this day, I dislike the woman. Strongly. Hahaha.. no I do.

Mine was an arranged marriage, although (cleverly I thought at the time) I had insisted on a year long engagement, I hadn't scratched the surface in understanding the tadibaaz I was marrying. He felt I was testing him, he and his family (wrongly) disagreed vehemently that I had any credentials whatsoever to test their beloved son. I merely wanted to finish the most stressful part of my medical internship before marriage.

My tadibaaz husband does not compliment me. It's just not his style. Throughout the engagement, I waited for flirting and compliments that never came. Oh it was pleasant don't get me wrong, he's a hilarious guy, just not the least sentimental or romantic. But I was a young sentimental girl who's been waiting for her love story to start see, so...
Imagine my ire when one month after our wedding, he comes home singing praises to the heavens over a contemporary of mine.

He is many years my senior, in age and rank and medical training. This &#%@$$$* woman got a new posting to his department ( a far less challenging department as far as medical expertise goes, mind you, dermatology) while I was on my feet all day in the paediatric neonatal ICU. (Yes, I'm being petty like a b*tch.)

But Oh, 'She' is smart, very impressive!
Very well trained with very good presence of mind.
Very soft spoken and deals with patients with grace
'She' will go successfully far in her medical career because of her "great" attitude.

( can you imagine the smoke coming out of my young jawaani ears at the time? All this from a man who had not complimented me even once in the year plus we'd been together? My cooking is yummy doesn't count okay?!)

Yeah, I knew the compliments weren't the slightest bit romantic. But I hadn't got even that?! Suffice to say, solitary tears were shed in the washroom as Mr Tadibaaz blissfully went on like my heart didn't just crack to pieces silently. Boo Hoo.


Coming back to episode ..🤣

What makes it so nice, is that Shivaay SAW how upset she was and tried his best to find out what had upset her so, she was having a hard time getting some alone time to just cry it out. Given time, she'd have cried it out and told herself she's being silly and came out normally again. Happens.
He'd asked her before, to lean on him as an anchor in her life, to share her troubles with him. In other words, to give him a place in her sanctuary, inside the shields. She did, and like all fiercely private people, she's assessing the wisdom of opening up to vulnerability.

Yes, it was a small thing. This man, is more mad at his mother for hurting her than herself. This man, suffered greatly after she broke his heart and left him, but never gave her place to another woman. She was always THE ONE for him. The very idea of Shivaay cheating is just like me and "that woman" ever sitting down for coffee.

But her feelings were hurt and it happens, it's normal. When Bhavya reminded him about her lonely life and how he has that all important No.1 spot in her life and the way his face changed in remembrance. Perfect. Soothed my overthinking female brain.. aah👏

Can't wait to see what he does to make the hurt go away. Thank goodness Shivaay is a fullfledged romantic sentimental man. Gives this girl something to sigh over. Imaginary, though he is.

Okay I felt a little mad at Gauri yesterday. Om is trying SO hard and she's put up all these walls to block him that it looks very cruel. He said he loved her and is lost without her. He literally begged her to come back, poor fellow. He said sorry multiple times and expressed so much regret already.

But it makes me think of all the times she stayed put in Oberoi Mansion despite his disdain and haughty tolerance of her. Because she had vishwas, belief that God had sent him into her life for a reason, as her husband, and she was honouring that. Now that belief is broken, she's determined not to look back.

What can he do to fix this? Words are his forte, but nothing is getting through. She craves what Shivaay and Annika have, the mutual respect and equality, as per her words. Let's see what happens.

Rudy is shedding his evil boss avatar like evaporating sweat. He's incapable of holding a grudge for long and it's adorable. But frankly the chemistry is kinda waning between them.

(May I suggest a lot less eye makeup for Mansi pls? She is such a stunningly beautiful woman, yet her features are not being flattered by the make up... )

Can't wait for today..

Hello Anisa,
Beautifully put (as usual 😉). I really loved yesterday episode (only yest 😆) though i still think this disguise was all unnecessary 🥱

Just pasting my thoughts from other post 😆 lazy to type 😆

I was little sceptical about this track but today when I watched the episode it was actually good. And I can't side anyone. Both are right at their places. Somehow today Anika got hyper. Maybe she was just quiet understanding let it go types but somewhere in the corner everything was piled up and it just burst out today. I felt today was just a normal husband and wife fight which happens with most of the people. Shivaay being clueless was also normal. He himself dint get to know wat was happening. Both of them were in characters and no OTT.

Also I don't understand y there is problem in Shivaay being sorry in tomorrow episode. What is expected then? If he doesn't then he is again blamed that he is being tadibaaz ego bhandaar. What do you want him to do? He is just behaving like a perfect husband who is just comforting his wife and not manaoing . Both are poles apart.

Anyways my POV 😳

Forgot to add this
I actually loved all the points gauri put to Omkara. I do agree he apologized proposed her but still he went wayy beyond accusing her misunderstanding her. Not once but multiple times. He did talk to her calmly in the last episode of DBO that he want to understand her and again he accused in the inspiration episode. Then he was guilty when dandi talked to him and again accused her with Arjun.

His thoughts are not consistent. How can gauri be sure he wont accuse her again? I do feel she has given up and finding difficult to trust him. Maybe he needs to work hard to gain her trust. I dont know how dilpreet getup helped Om in all these. Still a question 😆

Beautiful post Anisa.😊

I feel this disguise drama was not required at all. I mean,they are the Oberois,one of the most famous family as portrayed and they don't need to disguise themselves to get back their own ! Omkara and Gauri are still married and how can a married lady get married again without divorcing the first husband ??? Anyways,logic and Ishqbaaaz never go hand in hand !

Coming to the little tiff between Shivaay and Annika- it's quite normal as perceived by me. It's just a joke that fell flat. Shivaay,as men are, failed to gauge the mood swings of wifey and Annika,already pestered with the oldie aunties and the hideous wig that made her feel old, was in her last stage of irritation. Imagining from her perspective,she has always got the short end of the stick in her life and though she has full faith in Shivaay,she is sceptical of her own fate and this feeds on her insecurities. Poor Shivaay ! He was just joking ! But lesson for Shivaay: Better be a good receptor of wifey dear's mood swings for 'grihashanti'😆
Lesson for Annika : Have just a little amount of faith in the almighty,for bhagwan jab dete hain toh chappar phad ke dete hain and he has given Shivaay to her after all the tribulations that she faced in life !

Again a good review from your side.
Not writing about Shivika, but for Gauri I would say her comparison to her and Om relationship is wrong in one way bcoz they became takkar ki jodi for reasons that Annika knows in and out of Shivaay.

She knows what he will do or capable of doing and she realised his love for his family is the basis of him. Her this understanding of him has made their relationship what it is today.

But Gauri during the time they were together, she was only a good Bahu. Have she not noticed how loving Om is to the family and also his distress with his parents relation, as a wife if she had analysed his situation she would understood the trouble he was having to accept their relationship.

I know she is broken but all the many times he has troubled her, she stood with him and now when he is literally begging and asking for a chance, she can say all what she wants but giving a chance tho banta tha.

Right i see her EGO working than anything, Shivaay never had to beg this much for Anika, like Rudy said "kaise manalethe ho bhaiya bhabhi ko"

Shivaay had once said to Om during Mahasangam, You need to work on relationship everyday to make things happen and it is worth it. He needs to try harder instead of getting discouraged every single time.

I would also say Gauri was correct in comparison bcoz in OM there is no other married couple who could be given or is worth comparing.

I would take it all this is happening bcoz these are younger siblings, normally the elders always are little more toned down about things. Lets hope we get some good episodes and like HS always does make things clear as nothing can be justified in 20mins episode.

Great, and i was sure you will certainly come today. Whenever there is a sensitive issue i always think about your post. And i completely agree with you on Shivika part. I am happy this issue of Annika's insecurities has been raised in this manner. At the time of Tia, Ragini, Mallika she was not possessive at all for Shivvay but now after second marriage she is and at the time of Tanya also she was bit aggressive when Shivvay said that call me before come to meet me and that was the first time i could see Annika showing her haq on Shivvay but he could not understand. But that time she could not do anything because family was involve but this time it was entirely between two of them so her blast of already piled up issues was very normal. I always appreciate writers of IB in this matter. Waiting anxiously for today's communication between Shivika in this regard. I also appreciate Bhavyas maturity today. I like Rudra and Bhavya individually but somehow RuVya do not work for me.

I agree with you. I don't think this track is illogical at all. rather, it is giving us insights on very much realistic issues. I'm enjoying it fully.
Great post!!

Aanika freaking over Shivaay not noticing her has to be the closest to reality story line in IB.
This is the first time I ve compared Shivaay Aanika to a real life situation. This isn't something thing unusual, feeling insecure over petty things is something we all do.
A tiny gesture from our special someone is all it takes to reassure us.

This story line also highlighted the fact that in 90% of issues in a couples life neither are at fault.. it's just the circumstances that create these issues.

It's interesting to read anecdotes of you guys.. shows how fragile our mind is, we fall prey to petty insecurities/jealousy so easily.
Neetu.

Nice post Anisa!

Somehow I felt that Shivaay was so out of character flirting with random women! Grey hair or no grey hair it was annoying and I wouldn't have spared mine 😆

I Liked how you inserted your own life experience here- Aww... I can feel for you. But you don't know how much of a genius you are- just not being a intensivist/medic, but the whole package you are, with brilliant writing skills, good parent, doodling skills, arts/crafts- you name it. You can be intimidate anyone with your brilliance including your hubby( age/ experience doesnt count)- I guess he is allowed to play some defence stroke 😃 ( Oopsy... hope I am not crossing my line here 😉 )
Defence stroke, I meant, try to make you insecure by praising others ( my guess is it will be just to tease you )
