As Shivanya said herself, "pyar toh pehli nazar mein ho gaya tha."❤️
So yesterday the episode started Rittik falling from the cliff. But his mother prayed to Bhagavan Shiva(whose another name is Bholenath) for his safety. So while Rittik was struggling for his life, hanging from tree branches...Bhole Shiva Shankar Shambhu sent Shivanya. She managed to catch his hand and pulled him up from the edge of the cliff despite of having 25 kg weight. Because to pull someone from hanging off the cliff one needs determination than strength.😛 Also she neither liked to be thanked nor preferred to disclose her name.😆 Throughout this scene both Arjun and Mouni as Rittik and Shivanya acted brilliantly. Both of them gave serious, humourous, irritated, mesmerized, awestruck, innocent and honest expressions. And Mouni with her beautifully long, deep eyes conveyed her mysterious yet endearing persona totally. Rittik left agape, mesmerized and desperate for her name.
And as the 'Bhagavan' wished... the Raheja's stuck at Panchner, so Rittik went out in search of his saviour- Shivanya.
And the Shivanya❤️ !!! She was in her humble abode(the house looked nice) giving angry glare at her little sister, Puja...who had escaped from her orphanage. Poor girl, didn't want to live without her "Didi". This scene was really touchy while Shivanya described her inability to keep the little girl with her. Her helplessness was evident in her voice, eyes. After a good bye and "I love you too" kiss😳 to her sister (as the matron of the orphanage came and collected Puja form Shivanya) she tried to concentrate on her angry cake. Bang!!! It's Rittik, whom Shivanya almost said, I love you too"😆
Her surprised and his delightful, over cloud 9 expressions were visible treat to watch.😛 Rittik offered Shivanya her job back and some money which she declined. Also told him about her fictional husband who could be back on any moment😆 to get rid off him. Alas!! Her ceiling, which broke over her to disclose her tight monetary condition.Rittik saved her from the injury and insisted her to take the job, which she obliged.
Upon their return to Raheja's Shivanya returned to her work in kitchen after raising the smoke of doubts into Dad Raheja's mind. He was right on one matter- despite of Rittik's lack of faith over Love, let along over "love at first sight" he was deeply moved by Shivanya by the way he stared at her- full of amazement, appreciation, longing.
After party debacle Shivanya cut her hand and he came with all the medications for her which he force-fed her. And then the moment...he asked her about her 'Pehelvan' pati🤣...her flustered look and then making up the truth😆. Rittik joked about their first meeting- at a gymnasium over a big glass of lassi and lassi moustache🤣 and her honest and heartfelt answer, neither they met at gymnasium, nor over glass of lassi but when they met, with their eyes locked they realized they were in love. They couldn't be away for their entire lifetime. After that Rittik didn't press her much. Then, they were locked in that abandoned portion of palace where Shivanya felt uneasy while the snake-flute was playing. And then she discovered and pointed at a worn out painting of Rittik in royal attire. Her eyes curious, in surprise and Rittik's in awe for Shivanya.
Finally it happens. The plot started to thicken, mystery started to unveil. 20 years before something grave, something destructive had happened at the Raheja palace. It has activated a series of events which are now taking place. Rittik's life is in danger, the whole Raheja family behave unlikely. In the Nagin Shesha's intention burns revenge. But what about Shivanya?
She's a mysterious, sweet-natured, determined girl who always does the right things. She saves Rittik from the cliff but doesn't want to mingle with him.
And Rittik!!! He never has believed in love. Even he is not in love with the girl whom he is about to marry. He professed that he loved his work earlier. But with Shivanya, from the moment he laid his eyes over her, a dormant side of him has awakened in him. He became unnaturally caring for her. He threatened his manager who had fired her, he went after her to bring her back at his engagement party, he brought her medicines which he force-fed her and tended her wounds. He also tried to spend as much time he can with her. Why?
The inevitable, iresistable, intense feeling that has captured Rittik's whole being, hasn't been acknowledged by him. The feeling which made him desperate to know her name, to bring her back!! To care for her, to protect and look out for her!! For Shivanya...
