💯💯 and this what I believe from the day the alimony drama started. She has confessed her feelings do poetically. She even discarded his question about Ronak so casually like it was a aspect of dust because for her it was all an act of love, her love for Shivansh. Immediately after her confession, she asked only for one thing, to never leave her.. never ever.. and what does she get? Divorce notice.. for a dedicated , emotional and naive person like Prarthana, this was life shattering. Still she kept her hopes alive. She tried again and again to prove her innocence and to keep her Shivansh alive at the same time. But after the hospital drama the way bua and Sonali treated her, it has broken her completely . I mean how can a person fight and fight again and fight again… Yes her method of this alimony might be wrong. But it came from her mother. Her mother who has finally accepted her. Who has finally taken interest in her happiness and in her life. Obviously she will follow it blindly because Prarthana is like that. She trust with all her heart and soul. I mean she was willingly getting married to Bhavesh and was ready to do all her duties as a wife in that marriage also. She even confessed to Bhavesh that she is thinking about Ronak and that is like doing cheating on him. So she is pure and yes her vision gets foggy but that is also her deep trust in people she loves and here this idea was from her mother and sister.. she can see Shivansh’s pain. She can feel each and every tears.. but she knows that tomorrow he might flip because he is confessing only when they are alone. In front of bua and Sonali he might act different. I know this is only to justify her action. These all is getting too repetitive but if Shivansh’s Pov is right about 70%, Prarthana is not wrong in her 30%.

You are right 👍 10000% about her naivety and loyalty .

But still I just can't understand prarthana, she says Shivansh doesn't love her yet he is in front of her confessing his love yet she still had her twisted mentality claiming he is just habituated to her .

Mrs randhawa really has a problem, I am just happy Gayatri convinced her and now she have comprehended everything and wants to confess her feelings and accept Shivansh love

Neither me

I read the summary instead it didn’t excite me anymore. I agree about her not worthy at all 👎🏽

Since her return with her family it has been intolerable 😵‍💫😤 they should have ended this a week ago.

I don’t understand why they were given the extension only to watch for this back and forth love confessions. Yes - No game 🫩

Her replies for alimony and doubting his love. Repetitive again and again 🤥

SR deserves a so much better. 😔

Their reunion has been a torture, illogical the past month. I am so glad it’s finally ending.

They have ruined PraShiv for me 😢

I hear you completely — the past month has been frustrating in more ways than one. The endless back-and-forth, the dragged confessions, the same dialogue circles around alimony and doubts — it felt like the writers didn’t trust the depth they had already created. Instead of giving PraShiv a natural, emotionally fulfilling reunion, we got stuck watching loops. And Prashiv deserved tighter writing, more coherence, and certainly a reunion that felt like the payoff to all the fire and fragility we had witnessed earlier.

But at the same time, I can’t quite bring myself to say they’ve been ruined for me. ✨ Their core — the storm Shivansh carried within him and the quiet strength Prarthana offered in return — still remains untouchable. That essence can’t really be erased, no matter how messy the writing became. Those early days, when every glance was weighted, when silence spoke louder than any dialogue, when their pain was mirrored so clearly in each other — that PraShiv is what I hold onto. The rawness of their connection, the ache in their breakdowns, the unexpected laughter in their nok-jhok… those moments were rare, and they don’t vanish just because the later stretch faltered.

I see this ending not as them being ruined, but as the show losing its own thread. The heart of PraShiv — two fractured souls finding home in each other — is still intact in memory. That’s the gift Namik and Pranali gave us, even when the scripts let them down.

I’m also relieved the show is ending, because it means we can finally stop watching them diminished week after week. But I’ll choose to carry PraShiv not in this ending, but in the unforgettable moments that made us fall for them in the first place. 💛

Agree with you they have ruined PraShiv

I think all this is because of the extensions, the CVs also did not know when they have to end the show!

Hope to see him soon again on TV

I wish to see Pranali and Namik in a show like Zindagi Ki Mehek, It was an extraordinary show, the CVs did a great job, all the episodes were focused on ML and FL only, that was one rare show on ITV

Hopefully he will find another show soon and yes he will slay grey roles perfectly.

First let him enjoy his break with his family and then vacay .

We are so disappointed

Arrey..I completely understand your disappointment and frustration dear❤️

See I agree on one thing that the dialogues were terrible,she should not have said that she didn't believe Shivansh's words,when he was repeatedly pleading and crying for truth...and confessing his vulnerabilities again and again..that was disturbing...but I am keeping the dialogues aside..and viewing it just as a track then I can actually make peace with it....So what I feel is:

To Prarthana, the night of rain was more than romance; it was a revelation. She saw love flicker in Shivansh’s eyes, felt it breathe against her skin. But dawn came with a divorce paper, and that betrayal branded her deeply: love, she believes, isn’t fair to her. It will always make her taste heaven before dragging her back into hell.She just doesn't believe life to be fair with her love..

Prarthana has always been a scarred soul — tender, hesitant, forever sceptical of happiness because every time life gave her a moment of magic, it snatched it away the very next moment.

And yet — despite carrying these wounds, Prarthana has given more than anyone could. She forgave him when he married her through deception, when he humiliated her, when he asked her to prove her chastity — things that could have destroyed anyone else. But she didn’t let bitterness blind her. Instead, she looked past the cold, arrogant facade and found the broken little boy beneath. The boy abandoned by his mother, desperate for love, silently begging for home, aching to be held.

That was the gift of Prarthana: her ability to see him when he cannot see himself. And so when we speak of Shivansh “forgiving” Prarthana, let us remember — he is not doing her a favour. Forgiveness is not a debt he is settling. Because if anything, he needs her more than she needs him. She has already proven her love through her boundless empathy and compassion; she has carried his rage, his cruelty, his arrogance, and still chosen to find the child within. Shivansh, for all his love and longing, is the one who would be truly lost without her.

Prarthana’s silence, her secrets, her mistakes — they hurt, yes. They cut him open, yes. But every tear he sheds today is also a confession: that he cannot survive the emptiness she would leave behind. And that truth alone makes her irreplaceable..

Yes, Prarthana is hurting Shivansh terribly right now. The alimony drama, the lies, the repeated rejections of his raw and honest love confessions — all of it cuts him deeper than any wound life has ever given him. For a man like Shivansh, who has finally found the courage to wear his heart on his sleeve, to plead for love without ego, to cry openly for the one he adores… her coldness feels like betrayal. It shatters him.

But here’s the paradox: her intent is not malice. Her foolishness is born out of love, not disdain. Every rejection, every lie, every cruel word she throws at him is tied to one blind, misplaced belief — that by sacrificing herself, by distancing her heart, she will keep him safe. It is a flawed, almost self-destructive logic, but it comes from the same place that once made her see the little boy inside him, the same heart that cannot bear to lose him.

Yes, Prarthana is wrong in her method. Yes, she is naive in thinking that hurting him would protect him. But Shivansh needs to understand that beneath all her foolishness is a woman terrified of losing him, terrified that her love is cursed, terrified that life will once again take from her the only happiness she’s dared to claim.

And perhaps that is why despite his anger, despite his tears, despite his heartbreak — Shivansh still waits for her. Still begs for the truth. Still forgives in silence. Because somewhere, deep inside, he knows her love is real. Misguided, yes. Misplaced, yes. But real.

And sometimes, love is not about perfect choices. It’s about surviving each other’s mistakes, learning to see the wound beneath the wound, and holding on even when it hurts. Shivansh must see past her madness the same way she once saw past his rage. That is where PraShiv’s love will heal. ❤️‍🩹

Baas one sincere issue is they are choosing to end this show like this... with repeated cycle of hurt and forgiveness.. instead of their growth in this relationship together...but chalo thik hai..

But my problem is her alimony jaap. She knows Shivans is going to get rid of her in a day. So what is the point of asking for alimony now if she wil not be able to stay near him to protect him.

I am getting why she is not changing her statement even after knowing that her time is numbered in this house. Alimony is not helping her in getting her what she wants.

They have ruined PraShiv for me 😢

I know how this feels. I just couldn’t comprehend it—after such a long confession, even in today’s episode from SR where he mentioned that there was love between them and both felt for each other , she kept denying it ( his love and her love) and instantly believed Gayatri when she did he loves Prathana? It didn’t make any sense to me.

As I mentioned in the Prashiv farewell thread, the closure for me already happened the day they cried and fell asleep in each other’s embrace, fully aware of how deeply they felt for one another. And that Prarthana was the gem anyone would fall for— deep, honest, selfless, soft but fiery in her own way. After that, when Prarthana returned, she became almost unrecognizable. She’s been inconsistent with what she wants ever since.

I’ll always be bitter about how she never thought it necessary to tell Shivansh that Sonalika had plotted the accident he suffered for her. Even if she thought he didn’t love her, but claimed she loved him, the bare minimum would have been to tell him the truth—whether he believed her or not should’ve been his choice.

Even now her words are contradictory. If she truly believes he doesn’t love her and has been lying to her all along, only loving Sonalika, then why ask him whether, after divorcing her and marrying Sonalika, he would still keep in touch with her if Sonalika didn’t want that? On one hand, she tells her sister, “My heart breaks more when I break his heart.” But if she has already convinced herself after his many confessions that he doesn’t love her, then why believe that his heart breaks when she keeps asking him for money instead of choosing him?

Honestly, it’s exhausting. No amount of trying to understand her situation works for me anymore. Shivansh doesn’t even care about whether Sonalika is bad or Bua is bad—he only ever wanted to hear that she loved him.

This whole Prashiv phase is nothing but a victim of poor writing, channel and production house politics otherwise knowing that that show is ending in 5-7 weeks range, they could have easily given a good closure but instead we got this never ending back and forth were served to us.

The core / essence of them is what makes them so special unique 🤩 I agree.

She’s is afraid after he forgets her love confession after the rain dance, I get it her behavior to follow the alimony idea and not backing down on that.

It would have made more sense if eventually she confronted him about it after he repeatedly told her his love / emotions. That why did he forgot about that night in their bedroom his promise to never leave her alone.

The Gayatri conversation at the end, that she believes her that he truly ♥️ her and now she takes a U-turn 🙄

That’s is missing, everyone is wondering what happened to him was he so drunk or what..?

After his divorce demand began the downfall of the show / writing. She growling at Raunak to prove her innocence.

@Asmita could y write a OS after that night, the rain dance / bedroom scene. That she confronts him, but it’s his plan to reveal the culprits. Raunak, Sona, BM.

Or Prarthana leaves him but he won’t tell his plan because he’s afraid that she will get killed/hurt.

So many loose ends to write about but wasn’t shown. 😭

I agree with you 😢 it’s heartbreaking 💔 what happened since then.
