Shiva. Yes, he's my favourite. What a man, what a human.This character keeps getting better everytime I think they've reached their best wrt writing. The writers definitely love him just as much as us. Hearing him say "Raavi" and what ensued was pure bliss to my ears and eyes
His defense of Dhara was expected, but it still warmed my heart, especially that Krishna-Yashoda line ❤️
We get our first insight into his mind, and it's indeed the question that begs to be pondered upon in all this drama - how he's going to take on this marriage.
Dev seems to have more of a spine than we expected, less than the situation demands. I hope this Hindi version retains the firmness we saw today and respect for Dhara. A regional one I've seen a glimpse of has a pathetic version of Dev. Interestingly, I think showing their childhood has been instrumental in our perception and reaction to the adult characters... this wasn't present in other versions. Normally, I wouldn't give two hoots about Dev or his feelings after all this mess, but I see that polite boy grown up when I look at him and that makes him seem a real, flawed human - someone I want to understand and stand by even if he's not at his best right now because people make mistakes and Dev definitely didn't want to hurt anyone.
Dhara-Suman is definitely an interesting dynamic, I thought they'd gotten over the crude Sasuma avatar post-leap, but we're back to that. Her comments are very hurtful but you can see she really does care about Dhara. The sly glances at Dhara when she's upset is very similar to how a mother would react after berating their child harshly. Despite their personal differences atm, Suman stood up for her and will always do in front of anyone who dares to insult or belittle her, after all, only she's allowed to call her "bagodi ki beti" ❤️
Shiva is a guy who won't see his family being put down, I'm going to get some caramel popcorn for all the upcoming Rishita roasts. All I need is a bit of Krish thrown into the mix and this dil wants no more🥳
Today was all love and the precap - whoooo we're back to the bickering. Intense Shivi headed our way. The manhandling is still there smh, but looking forward to a heated exchange since we've never seen them like that.
