It was even more painful in the original Tamil version because Shiva topped his school and dreamt of becoming a collector but had to stop his education after 10th grade to help out his brother in the store.. he gave up all his dreams just like that, yet was misunderstood by all which made his breakdown very very heart touching. I couldn't watch it more than once because of how painful it was..

He was/is the smartest of all his brothers and always came up with innovative and great ideas to solve all the problems in the family.

He is very different from the typical male lead we see all the time, which is why I also love his character so much ❤️

He honestly is the best brother for me, especially once the story unfolds. A true gentleman. A man with a golden heart. A man with intelligence. A man who can read the room. A man who would do anything for his family even if it meant sacrificing his own happiness. He's the king of all trades...

He's honestly so perfect, that I wish I could marry a man who possesses even half of Shiva's qualities. Raavi really did have a major upgrade when she ended up marrying Shiva.

Shiva's inferiority complex was honestly the reason why I fell in love with Pandian Stores. Too many times, I see a male lead who is cold for superficial reasons, but Shiva's feelings grew in the years. He's made so many sacrifices (don't know about the original, but in the Telugu one, he had forgone his education at an early age to help his brother at the store), so to hear words like "gawar" "stupid" "fool", especially from people who are supposed to be his main family (brother and wife) is very, very painful indeed.

My favorite episodes in the original were when he cried and let out his thoughts. It was one of the few times the audience gained an inside look into his thoughts, and honestly, you can't help but fall even more in love with him. To me, Shiva is not a fool. He's the smartest of them all. He knew how disastrous the wedding would turn out if Dev chose not to marry Raavi, he knew that untying Raavi at that moment might lead to her getting hurt, he knew how much Raavi did not like he and offered her a way out.

Even in today's episode, he took/listened to Dhara's advice. Beating up Janu might have been the easiest way out, but he understood the implications that it may have on Rishita moving forward. As much as he doesn't like Dev or Rishita at the moment, he still respected them enough to come up with the blackmailing idea. Literally, the man was so adorable! He came up with the idea and solution that respected everyone within seconds!

So far, I think Pandya Store is setting up for the scenes where Shiva will break. His wife had insulted him, his brother had insulted him, I think the final nail in the coffin will be when Raavi and him get into another misunderstanding and Prafulla insults him (I know Prafulla has always insulted him, but I think now it'll be different since he and her are even more related).

For those of you who haven't seen the original or remakes, trust me, despite how heartbreaking those episodes will be, Shiva's breakdown will be one of the most memorable/lasting episodes. I still think about it and re-watch it every now and then because of how wonderful the build-up to those scenes are.

Wow that sounds beautiful. We would finally get insoght into his mind.

How far in the series was that shown? Does Raavi end up supporting him and become his pillar in overcoming these insecurities?

expecting prafulla adding mirchi here too, looks we need to keep our kerchiefs ready

Shiva is definitely smart, he is that street smart not someone who tops in his college

YASSS!!! i am so ready for these episodes!!! such a realistic POV of life and its hurdles. Do you know what episode that was...i wanna watch it and also @bold I am really curious what profulla does. I am so tempted to ask u to spoil it, but I will refrain becuz it sounds like it is going to be amazing... do you know how much longer till we get those episodes?

Hmm... so I know you mentioned you didn't understand that much Tamil, but Episodes 91-92 in the original are Shiva's outbursts and breakdowns (92 is where he breaks down in front of Raavi). It was very early into their wedding in the original. Shiva is someone who does not drink (again, another gentlemanly trait) but he does so because he eventually cracks from being called "gawar" and "uneducated."

But Pandya Store is somewhat interesting here because the Bikaner trip came a lot earlier than in the original. There, they don't go to Kodaikanal until after Rishita's birthday. And we definitely know Rishita hadn't had a birthday yet or she would've made a big deal about it. So I'm interested to see when Shiva's outburst will be here. I think it is definitely coming, especially with how the show is setting everything up...
