Is Nikila Good or Bad//Machan involved??

Ok I dont understand this whole plan thing. Nikila asks Machan for help. But Machan is Shiv's friend right. Why would Machan agree to ruin Shiv's life, or maybe he thought Nikila too wanted to teach Gauri a lesson for what happened to palak and he didnt realize her real motive was to get Shiv and Gauri married. Machan is shocked out of his mind finding out that Shiv married Gauri. Machan gets suspicious of Nikila and told Shiv that it was his mother who told to trap gauri. 😭But I have a strong feeling that Machan told Shiv the truth after the wedding. Because Shiv seemed very surprised when he found out what Machan did to Gauri in that hotel room. It didnt seem like he knew. 😕I have also a feeling that there must have been an confrontation between Shiv and Nikila after the wedding on why she did this. I think that is when Shiv found out the truth. 👏That is why he keeps saying that our marraige has been planned for a long time, because he must have known his mother was planning this for awhile after listening to the Guruji words. If Machan is involved it seems like Palak is involved as well.But I dont understand how that is possible how Nikila convinced her own daughter to have a phone conversation about running away, and coincidentally have Gauri overhear. 😆What is more ridiculous is wouldnt Palak have questioned her mother on why she is making her do this. Because Palak didnt know that her mother is planning Shiv and Gauri marraige, because Palak was shocked out of her mind when she saw Shiv married Gauri. 😆

What is confusing now is the way Nikila talked to Shashank, it didnt seem like Mahen knew what was going on. If Mahen didnt know is he still the good guy. 👏In the end when Nikila repeats she cares for Gauri and she loves her like daughter. Does she really. Maybe Nikila in some majboori did this. Maybe the kundali doesnt show that Gauri will die, maybe she was doing this for Gauri's best interests as well.

What is more shocking is that Devika had to ask Shashank who was behind this plan. How stupid is that. 😆Devika knew the secret to this marraige from day 1, how she found out is still a mystery,😕 if something this huge was planned and hidden from everyone, the only two people who could pull it off is Nikila and Mahen. Maybe Devika just was not sure if it was Mahen or Nikila or both of them.

I think all these plot holes in the story know are due to the fact that Ekta has changed the script recently, and thought that the audience will just not notice these little mistakes. 😆

mayb ur rite, coz it was said that mahen was behind this. i really liked Nikila, i thought she was such a sweet and caring character, the raaz has not been revealed properly so there will be more to come 😭
coz there was talk of shiv kundali

ok my guess ! from today's epi we understand that Machan helped Nikhila .the same day palak was involved in it too ,but i doubt is she knows ,Nikhila siezed the oppurtunity that day ,and thought was the right time to break Gauri-Shanks relationship.Mahen wass not at all involved in this ,or may be Nikhila might have told him the truth about SHiv's kundali after the marriage.
Devika may be till todate thought that Mahen had palnned this wedding so that the Kapoors could get that ashram land based on which was his project .So indeed Devika was surprised that it was totally planned and executed by Nikhila .
Shiv had started liking his wife after the jungle incident ,but next came Devika's land issue ,when he got to meet her .Devika might have explained him the reason behind the wedding ,so that the land will belong to the kapoors.Shiv might have shared this with machan ,when Machan might have told him the exact planning behind this wedding and its reason.
So chances of Shiv knowing the truth from Machan is high ,and ever since he saved his marriage ,Shiv is all worried about gauri and the truth behind the marriage.
