Shivam: The smoldering hot guy any girl would fall for, but only to realize that this chap is good looking but lacks brains n a spine !!!
Shivam loved Riya but wouldnt admit it nor would mind if she had gotten married to Amit (sacrifice for bro)
Shivam tyaged his wife who loves him with all her heart to bring satisfaction to mommy dearest.
Nandu: Plain-looking creep who had a major crush on Priti from day 1. Priti was disgusted by looks n occupation, but the poor chap had the guts to stand up for his wife and for his parents as well (when Priti berated them).
Nandu wanted Priti, so he made up a few stories abt Mohit, but also fought for Priti with Mohit.
Nandu let go of his parents for Priti's sake, the woman who constantly insults n downgrades him.

Who is the better husband ? Handsome hunk Shivam or Creepy Nandu ?

Shivam did actually came running for Riya when it became clear to him that his heroine loves him and is confused abt the identities . Shivam did for once stand up to his family and side with Riya (was not enough though) during the wedding fiasco . I remember that funny moment he stole the horse saying ''meri dulhan koi aur le jayega''😆 to reach to the wedding.

But after wedding happened and after that emotional atyachar his mean mother khushiya did , he did a complete U turn and became one of the worst husbands to be shown in television.

And about Nandu, well he did not consider Preeti's consent for marriage or to live with him. And whatever he tried to woo preeti, he did it stealthily like a coward before marriage. He could not even stop his mother from hitting Preeti.

Both of them are not fit enough to be husbands . I dislike Shivam more, because he willingly fell for Riya, and vowed during his wedding fiasco infront of Raghav that he will never let go of Riya and look what he is doing now.

I feel bad for both Preeti and Riya. Preeti coz she is stuck in a loveless marriage. Riya because she gets degraded on the daily by both her so called husband and in laws and the way Shivam tyaged her and always blamed her.

Agree with most of what sana21 said, so apologies if i repeat a few of the same things. Also agree that shivam had come very close to allowing Riya to marrying another man (he didnt know it was Amit at the time). And he was kind of backed into a corner and felt like he had no option to marry Riya when she very publicly refused to marry Amit and professed her love for Shivam. I remember him telling his dad that if he didnt marry her then she would be an outcast for the rest of her life. Yes he did love her, but had it not come to Riya refusing to marry Amit I dont think he would have married her. He had even told her in the restaurant that he loved her but wouldnt marry her because of his family etc. I mean shivam was fine with riya as long as she didnt think for herself after marriage. And then he turned into mummys boy after marriage too- it was strange how he regressed back into the womb after getting hitched lol

Now Nandu- he was actually fine to begin with. Yes he hasnt exactly got a face that would make you drop to your knees lol but hes not repulsive either from a purely aesthetic POV (if you didnt know his personality). What makes him so repulsive looking to many of us ladies is his behaviour and the way he has weasled his way into Preetis life. So manipulative, selfish and such a slimy way about how he has effectively trapped her. Yes she should have spoken up and refused to marry him when everything was happening, but she didnt because she is a hypocrite- apparently she truly found her voice after marriage 😆 so maybe she should actually be thanking Nandu for that. But aside from that, I didnt think there was anything wrong with Nandu crushing on Preeti at first. He even tried to help Mohit and Preeti reunite once- at which point I really felt for him and wanted him to end up with Preeti because it was just such a gallant thing to do- especially when his own heart was breaking with the unrequited love. It was selfless. But then he turned into a creepazoid soon after and used every opportunity he could to break Preeti and Mohits relationship. That by itself was creepy- but then he wanted her for himself even though he knew she hated his guts to hell and back. To me that is spineless too. If you cant get a woman by any other way than manipulation and deceit then youre not a man in my book and you dont have a backbone. You're just a sneaky little rodent trying to get your way at any cost and the easy way out. Even if you make that girl utterly miserable. I dont care how much you love another person- if they dont love or want you back- then the intensity of your love doesnt justify you forcing yourself into their life. Its just your tough luck that they dont feel the same way about you- so move on and find someone who will want you for you along with some self respect. Yes I think Preeti is incredibly up her own backside and so superficial that it makes her ugly with that permanent scowl on her face. But Nandu is no saint either, just because he ""loves"" her... which to me isnt real love. He is making her miserable and he knows it and always knew it and yet still he twisted the situation so that she ended up married to him. How is that love? Its manipulation. As for Nandu having guts to stand up for his wife... maybe I missed that? I honestly cant remember when he has stood up for Preeti when it really mattered? The only times I remember was when Mohit was threatening to ensure he ended up with her- but we all know he was standing up to Mohit because he wanted her for himself. Not out of some honourable need to protect her from psycho Mohit. If a man is a MAN and really loves a woman, he also wouldnt just stand there like a potato and wait for his mother to slap his wife infront of everyone. He would have rushed to stand in front of her and protect her and he would have opened his mouth and clearly told his parents that it had been his decision to marry her because he loved her. He wouldnt have had to wait for Riya to cajole him into speaking up. It was embarrassing, like he couldnt even stand up infront of his parents and speak confidently and protect Preeti from their insults. I know she deserved it because many of us cant stand her-but Nandu is supposed to be so madly in love with her- so where was the action to back up this love?? He is just as much of a coward as Shivam just in a different way. As for standing up for his parents lol! Why would or should he stand up for them?? The way they insulted her was truly disgusting- like yes, the circumstances were awful, but you dont just talk to another human being like that, especially someone who is now part of your family. This isnt 1902- but then maybe in some parts it really is. What if in some alternate universe this really wasnt any of Preetis fault- would we be praising Nandu for standing up for his parents? In fact he firstly should have protected his wife from them, then he should have clearly explained the situation to his parents WELL BEFORE Riya intervened and then he should have said to Preeti afterwards (when she was talking about his parents) that yes they shouldnt have spoken like that to her, but they were also hurt and angry at the situation and that she should try and understand it from their perspective as parents. Instead he just jumped down her throat- this so-called "in love" Nandu- telling her quite strictly that she can say anything she wants about him but not to insult his parents. Where the hell was he when his parents were verbally spitting on his wife- so that was acceptable then? He is just another example of the weak and emotionally frail men in this entire show. Nandu might have forsaken his parents for Preetis sake- but that was his choice to make and he shouldnt feel bad about it if he decided that was the better-feeling path for him. No one owes him anything for making that choice because no one asked him to make it- Preeti didnt even want to be in the same room as the guy let alone marry him- and he knew that full well. So he hasnt done anything heroic by forsaking his parents- hes just fulfilling his own selfish desires to be with the woman he wants.

LOL😆 so after all that- neither of them is the better husband, they are just as rubbish as each other but in different ways. They should marry each other, they would probably get on better lol

In a way, its good that Nandu didnt defend Priti immediately in front of his parents. I wouldnt want devil's daughter Priti to be so lucky. Its good that she was insulted right in front of Kusiya. She got the feel of bad in laws tormenting her Jindagi ! There was an episode where Kusiya had snapped at Riya saying her bitiyas r her ijjat and she has raised them well. It was nice to see Kusiya's parvarish getting degraded right in front of her ! If Nandu wouldve protected Priti at once, hypocrite queen Kusiya wouldve got immense satisfaction and wouldve stood with a smug face proclaiming 'Look evrryone, Ive the best son in law ever. He will take care of my Jindagi no matter what'

if we are pointing out bad qualities in shivam one bad quality i want to point out is his hitting his sisters. in india though the brother is a useless fellow he still thinks he has a right to hit his sisters.another point i want to make which is outside the topic is raghav hitting shivam infront of others.it is said that a father should treat his grownup son as a friend and try to settle differences by talking.

Shanti support Preeti in her fiasco but Shanti intention was never to support Preeti but to take advantage of the situation & turn it against Riya, Nandu support for Preeti is similar to it. Leaving parents or disown them is not husband duty.

Shivam was attracted to Riya exactly the way she was but Riya was bold & open minded while Shivam was reserved & shy. Many time Shivam dream about Riya but always stated that he will marry a girl of Dadi's choice as he know the situation in his family. Shivam know very well what type of creep Amit is he knows about his gambling & job he won't let go Riya to Amit He support her & marry her. Shivam also gave full support to Riya when Shanti handed over keys infact he was very happy for her, he felt bad giving salary to dadi but never felt bad giving it to Riya , also in in that ghungharu dance kand Shivam gave full support to Riya he was not allowing Anupam to take away Riya.

Yes right Shivam is changed right now but Riya is enough understanding to figure out that it's just a phase, his family is ruined, Shivam is right if he think that if Riya informed him about Preeti elopement this mess wont happened even Riya feels same, though he is unable to understand that why Riya have not informed him she was scared coz of his anger. But divorce for this reason is stupid but we all know how Shanti manipulated them

Nandu , I don't want talk him but he is nothing compare to Shivam he ruined MohPree in name of love he betrayed Preeti & Mohit whom he considered a friend. He wants to do all household activity to impress Preeti now which girl in todays life impress by these types of activities. Preeti don't want husband without family otherwise she might runaway with Mohit who ask her to marry even if his parents are not agreed. Preeti want a well settled family & educated & working husband & she is not bad if she asked for this every girl wants that its normal & Nandu know he never be that type.

Just leaving parents don't make Nandu a good husband infact his parent sent him off as he is unable to earn anything there.

Nandu & Preeti are in forced marriage Shivam is not infact Shivam & Riya are in forced divorce

There is no comparison between Shivam & Nandu

Shivam is Hero & Nandu is villan

Yes SHivam did support Riya when she was accused of adultery and also when she was drugged by sarla. But that's all . He never ever stood up for her, when daadi berated her . During Sarla fiasco, he blamed her. Shivam has been the reason of Riya's tears more than the reason of her smiles. He even went to the extent where he raised his hand at her. Shivam is probably a good son but husband??? Nopes never. During Shivya wedding , he did vow to never leave her infront of raghav but right now he is ok with leaving his wife. Its not that difficult to take a stand for yourself. The writers have made a mess out of SHivam's character. Before wedding, they show him as this sensible guy who sees through the prapanches of sarla and shanti. And after wedding, he is suddenly blind deaf and dumb , and expects Riya to behave the same just to ''maintain family peace'' lol. He calls shanti shashikala and he and his sisters make fun of her. But when Riya during preetiya's wedding prep week , said that someone is intentionally trying to sabotage her, SHivam immediately flew into a rage.
Its suffocating to be with a guy like that . A guy that expects you to take on all the responsibility of the family but won't help you out with suggestions but infact place more burdens of expectations on you and won't even listen to you. Shivam is suited to be only Kaushalya's Sonny. That character is not meant to be a husband in any sense.
I agree SHanti's manipulations are the cause of every trouble. BUt what about the times, when Shivam blamed Riya , hurt her, berated her and never listened to her nor made any efforts to help her fit in with the family. He expected her to mold according to the family. He did not give a damn about her comforts or what she wants. SHe just has to mold within the family. Yes he did feel guilty asking for her money but he did ask for it and did not have the guts to say no to his mommy that I dont wanna do it.

And lets not forget the time when he said ''Arrey tumhare ghar mey hey hi kaun, riston ke naam par tum or tumhare papa''. THAT was so below the belt, he callously threw ''her not having a mother '' at her face.
I can list 100 examples of him being a jerk to RIya.

I am just disappointed in the character Shivam. Writers have spoiled it for me . Karam deserves to play a better version of Shivam.

And regarding Nandu as I said before , he is a certified cowardly manipulative creep. Preeti deserves better.

Both Shivam and Nandu are bad husbands but in different ways lol
