Ruthless Shivanya- epi 7

Episodes are moving in the speed of lightening, they are trying to set up the main foundations for this show within the first ten episodes.

They say what goes around comes around and it couldn't be any truer for Viren Raheja. He viciously murdered Shivanya's parents and if that was not enough, tried to molest her. I felt a twisted sense of satisfaction while seeing him run for his life, the absolute look of fear while staring at death in the form of Shivanya. Good for him, he deserved it.

The amount of manipulations Shivanya did throughout the episode was worth noting. It fits within the context of the show but I'm quite surprised to see such an unapologetic female lead in a Balaji soap, I'm interested to how much they mellow her down later on. She should not back out from seeking revenge, but she needs a good dose of humanity. I know that is kind of ironic considering that she is not even human but Shivanya is almost emotionless. Only time I see any emotion is when she is talking about her Ma-baba but that is it. It is as if all feelings and warmth were replaced by the poison of hatred and revenge, which is expected for someone in her situation. She is very cold and distant but I hope some warmth is restored within her because she desperately needs it. Otherwise the hatred and thirst for revenge will destroy her from the inside. Maybe Rithik will breathe new life into her with his love (sounds filmy, I know)

Um Yamini is a complete nutjob? Perhaps the recent events sent her over the edge, but her desperation to get Rithik married is ridiculous. Somehow even I think she has an ulterior motive, something about her behavior does not seem right to me. Now, she has even more reason not to trust Shivanya. How smoothly she dressed up as a bride and just sat waiting. I would definitely think she is after the family's wealth.

I'm thinking about the consequences of Shivanya's manipulations later on, would Rithik be able to look at her much less forgive her? Maybe her revenge is justified but she played one hell of a game to get to where she is now. Does Ekta plan to give this show a happy ending?

Did tanvi really run away? Makers set up the situation in such a way that it looked like she did, but I have a nagging feeling Shivanya may have temporarily removed her. If that is the case then I'm very uncomfortable. Tanvi is mean and I do not like her but this would make her the wronged party in this big mess. I just don't know how to come to terms with shivanya if she actually got rid of her, and imagine Rithik's reaction when he finds out. Tanvi is his best friend, that too an innocent one in this game. Now she will most likely be back with vengeance, and viren will probably come out of coma. Maybe they will join hands to expose Shivanya? I hope not, there is already enough problems as it is. Seriously, I really don't want tanvi to return.

Rithik's expression on seeing "Tanvi" walking towards the mandap was hilarious, poor guy thought he is finally free only to see her again. In addition, loved the look of peace and gratitude after "Tanvi" told him she will not marry him. If it wasn't for this unnecessary twist, I believe he would have openly pursued shivanya which would be so cute to watch but no, ekta just had to bring this stupid bride swap. Anyways, I hope Rivanya's love track begins soon and I'm looking forward to seeing rithik's demeanor towards his wife. there is only doom from here on but I hope to see a smile on his face and at least some sort of happiness even if it is temporary.

Ok that is it for now, thanks for reading.

November 22^nd - Epi 7

Zara,I'm hell confused myself 😕
What's cooking in Ektas mind I don't know,I was looking forward to a happy ending but after watching today's epi I'm in dilemma ...
How will Ritik react when he finds out what shivanya did today to get married to him for the revenge?
Aagay Kiya hoga yaar? Soch ke Mujhey pasina aa raha hai 😕

I just lived her ruthlessness and her single mindedness

To be honest I really like Shivanya's ruthless attitude...I'm totally fed up with ekta's typical crybaby heroines 🤢... .this change was much-needed... I hope she'll not change drastically and she'll take her revenge successfully... Don't want her to forgive those kameenas... Please Ek don't change Shivanya into your other typical heroines 😒... And I've to say that she has played her game very well...the way she manipulated Yamini,it was just mind blowing 👍🏼

I don't necessarily have a problem with her ruthlessness but I think she needs to bring out her humane side. to me, she seems very...empty on the inside.

yes but her manipulations were brilliant, she is a master player for sure.

thanks for commenting.

Totally agree with you.. That's why I've said that she should not change drastically, but a little change is needed... But it's too early to expect change in her attitude.. Snakes are always like this and I don't think she is bad from her heart.. It's the situation, which has made her a merciless

first time on tv we are fortune enough to see a manipulate cunning ruthless female lead that too in a balaji soap..i was so shocked to see shivanya so ruthless ... wat i read was mouni il play positive naagin and ada as negative naagin..just imagine wen positive naagin is so ruthless and cunning who cud manipulate things in fraction of seconds she has made every one to dance acc to her tunes..wat will happen wen negative naagin track starts??


Coming to tanvi she was positive till shivanys fooled her..any one in her place wud hav done the same thing.. now we are not sure whether tanvi herself ranaway from the wedidng or shivanya has made her unconscious..if its never ending story then def tanvi il come back ..but its just 30 episode story so i dont think cv's il mess it...

Shivanya the way she manipulated everyone was worth watching...she il take revenge from everyone except rithik..even the story line is shivanya il get married to ritik and enter into thr family to take revenge..but in the process of taking revenge she il end up falling in love with ritvik thus she il be confused and caught between revenge and love...then sesha il come in picturre..i was happy they way shivanya made viren run to save his life ..har molestor ko bi aisa hi baga baga ke maarna chahiye tabi log sudrenge..

as i told in my previous post rithik had a loving and caring childhood ..but shivnaya was brought up by a tantrik to take revenge on them who brutually killed her parents..

i think for another next two to 5 episodes truth wont be revealed..as they il concentrate on shivanaya ritvik love story ..once shivanya falls for ritvik truth il be revelead to ritvik..and i dont think ritvik il hate her coz wat ever she did out of revenge was right..she is on the right path ..inturn he il be in guilt that his so called family had brutually killed and destryoyed many innoncent lifes and he il be caught between his own family who were at fault and shivnaya who lost her parents family everything wen she was just five..

coming to yamini i dont think that ritvik il be her &anky' son...as said in earlier episodes ritvik is the sole heir of raheja property..may b its written that if ritvik is not married before 25 years then property il go to the govt or some trust...and his kundali also one of the reason ..even if ritik dies or doesnt get married with in 25 yrs then entire proerty will go to some trurst ..may b this cud b one of the reason y yamini is after ritvik's marriage..varna the way shivanya has fooled a women like yamini any one cud easily find out she is fooling them or wants to get married coz of property or some other hidden agenda..still yamini has agreed..

in 29 episodes shivnaya has to fall in love with ritvik...then shivanya truth has to be revelead all the cuplrits has to die and need to fin out naag mani and two known culprits and ssesha revenge her stroy and fight bet gud & bad naagin ...viren has to recover from coma...i dont think in all this they il bring tanvi's track again to mess up..hope ekta give happy ending instead of giving tanvi ritvik ending..i want shivanya ritik happy ending..

ritik was brought up in a very protected environment,pampered,loved and grew up in complete luxury..hence the feeling of love ,kindness,affection are natural for him...his heart is pure,honest and it is easy for him to differentiate between right and wrong...

yes he grew up to be an honourable man, considering that his parents are a bunch of crooks😛

on the other side shivanya as a young child of 4-5 saw her parents being killed in cold blood and this image is impossible to erase from anyone's eyes be it human or animal...and what made it worst was that it was fanned for 20 long years by that sapera so that he can prepare her for revenge...she was alone,broke,hurt,destroyed hence the feeling of love ,affection are going to take time to heal her...this is a 10 day care vs 20 years of pain ,anger and hatred...and it just got intensified when she came face to face with those same people..every time she looks at her face what she sees is the helpless screams of her parents,the blood being shed and those people right now are living on the luxury and goodness ,the foundation of which is her parent's blood ..but even then we get to see the occasional human side of shivanya...through that little

pooja or even with ritik.

this is why she is so empty and distant. I'm not blaming her but only pointing it out because I noticed in the last few episodes. we were told about shivanya's past but she still remains an enigma, and yes I loved her equation with pooja. With rithik too, I seem some tenderness and I hope she opens up more in the future.

as for the episode...desperate times does call for desperate measure...shivanya had no intention of stopping this wedding or taking the bride's place ever...she only got desperate when she came to know of tanvi's plan to leave the country forever ...and that is why she had to stop this wedding hook or crook ..and then she did realize even then yamini may out of fear take away her family ..and the only way to be a part of this was to be the family ...this way she ensures to stay with them

I don't like the bride swap but I understand shivanya's desperation, so I guess it makes sense.

as for tanvi...she is not wrong in her place to fear for her life..yamini and the family were so selfish that they hid it from her when she did have a right to know what she was geting into..no girl in her place would accept this betrayal and that pandit in earlier episode had said that after marriage the girl shares this dosh with ritik thus reducing the effect..that is like putting risk on the girl's life to sav eher son

yes I agree,she does not deserve this and why should she put her life at risk for a man who does not even love her?

as for tanvi,ritik and shivanya..if they had to mae anvi goody two shoes wronged party ..they would have not given her those silly dialogues and then ritik ka attempts to stop this wedding...out of this whole scenario ritik comes out looking as the bechara and tanvi as the stubborn,immature girl who is indeed marrying for all wrong reasons...the makers did ensure that shivanya playing her game was in accord to being on the right side again ...

See, I do not like tanvi and I'm fine with it if she ran away on her own but if shivanya made her disappear then I'm not ok with it no matter how much I dislike her. because, then tanvi becomes the victim and I do not want that. although shivanya did the right thing by disclosing the truth to her.

also they have ensured that shivanya does take away the sympathy always...see,if she had to strike viren,she could have given how he brutually killed her parents...but yet the makers made viren stoop so low and shivnaya more human warning him again and again ..and when she did strike you have the audience cheering her for it ...not an ounce of sympathy for viren

yeah I don't care for him either, hope he dies😡

and coming to ritik shivanya equation..this is not a journey of doom for me ..this is a journey that will lead to love and salvation ...for shivanya who would find a reason to live and love and realize the worth of it through ritik and for ritik to finally see the truth behind the mirage his family has created...understand the true meaning of love and then free himself of the sins of his ancestors...the path will have its share of obstacles but then what is love if it has no obstacles...aag ka dariya hai doob ke jaana hai ...

I love your way of looking at this. I seriously hope it plays out like you said, ekta can do anything but I hope makers take it down this route.

as for ritik reaction to shivanya's truth..he would most certainly not be able to look at her..not coz of her revenge but coz along with that would come out the gory truth of his own near perfect family ...the fact that his parents are cold blooded murderers and thief and also the fact that the luxury ,the life he lives is the result of blood shed of innocent people ,the fortune which he spends is not his and how shivanya lost her parents and was orphaned coz f his own family...then dilemma would be whom to stand by the people who had wronged her or the girl who was wronged so mercilessly...that would be his moment of truth...this is the same guy who stood before her with folded hands for the actof his brother..to what extent would he go to rectify the crime of his parents

he may be angry at first but after he comes face to face with his dad's vicious past, he will rectify their sins and maybe get justice for shivanya.

as for yamini..there is for sure something much more than meet the eyes...given it is Sudha Chndran in the role..hence things cannot be that simple as a paranoid mother...also that portrait has a secret to unleash of its own...

Yeah I'm looking forward to see more of her

as for tanvi returning..if this was a never ending soap it was sure to happen ..but with 30 or so episodes remaining..they do not have to mess it up anymore ...coz shesha has to enter and then the actual story would begin

I don't know as tanvi's exit looked open ended to me. who knows, balaji loves masala so they may bring her back. but yes there is so much to cover like Sesha's past and revenge, the rithik look alike, reincarnation, finding the naag mani and yamini's motives. they may not have time for tanvi's games.

i have this feeling that shesha too will enter the family via arjun...there is a reason they have kept him as this flirt ,dear friend of ritik and family...
