The Number 4 and The Current Track

Did you know, in mythology, the fourth to a trio is usually a catalyst of ill fate and destruction. True story.

The number 4 is considered an unlucky number in China because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death".

While that is for the Chinese, we can draw parallels into other religions and beliefs. Let's take Hindu myths, the Trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva; and Tridevi of Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Parvati are all trios and they only have ever consisted of three. Even Greek Myths have the Three Elder Gods, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.

This draws on the idea that the number 4 is bad. But why am I telling you this? How does this relate to Ishqbaaaz?

Well we have our own trios in IB, aka ShivOmRu and AniRiVya. But they gained a new addition. A new O'Bro and O'Bahu have made there way. See if we count them we have 4 of each.

We have 4 O'Bros
Shivaay
Omkara
Rudra
Abhay

We have 4 O'Bahus
Annika
Gauri
Bhavya
Svetlana
(We don't count our Sumo or even Tanya)

This is to imply that Abhay and Svetlana will be a catalyst to destruction. They will burn the walls of Oberoi Mansion to the ground. After all, the 4th one is unlucky.

And I hear you typing, "But Jesal, Ishqbaaaz isn't that deep for plot!!" and I understand and that's why I'm not going so deep into the theory. But this still doesn't stop the idea that something bad could end up happening with AbhLana. This looks like a planned track and Svetlana is usually always treated seriously. Not to mention Abhay is still evil.

I'd like to think there might be something behind this track. And I think it might lead the track into Vanvaas since Svetlana is a vamp from Episode 1 and Abhay's character carried a history with him. The whole Kalyani Mill fire was a track meant to go into history right? Even if the Baal Vivaah was technically what the writers originally wanted to put into the story but couldn't because SP didn't want such a serious topic to be aired. This track is meant to (or should) dissect the history of the Oberoi Parivaar. Whether the Sr Oberois are good and what kind of crimes did they commit to come ahead in business.

It's the return of Nafratbaaaz everyone, and it could have more consequences. Probably not but hang on tight.
