Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone (currently morning for me!),
My favorite character is a no-brainer if you've read my posts/see my history of favorite characters from other fandoms. It's none other than Shiva Pandya. He, as of now, has all the traits that make me want to fall in love with him even more, and his characterization is one of my favorite tropes for a male lead of all time: Misunderstood dude who is an actual softie at heart. Other reasons I love him? He would do anything to protect his family and friends (even his enemies if they are in danger).
Every time Shiva says, "Ey Gadhedi," I die with laughter and fall in love with him even more ❤️. Probably not the most romantic thing a guy could say, but I'm also not your average girl. I'm a complete fool at heart!
But before this thread becomes a "We all love Shiva Pandya Thread!" because it does seem like, here's another character I've been secretly hating/loving.
Rishita... yeah, yeah, throw some chappals at me (kind of need them if you don't mind since Summer is coming 😆 where I live) but she seems to be a well-thought out character as well (at least from what I saw in yesterday's episode). This girl is the epitome of what we call in America, "Basic Mean Girl." She's rich, she's always gotten what she wants, and she's an absolute fighter! The way she ran away/fought to marry Dev, respect girl. I could never do that... but then again, the only *perfect* guys I've met are fictional...
Rishita's "child-like" insecurity is probably something we've faced at one point or another. She grabs onto what she knows well (Dev) in an unfamiliar situation just like I used to grab onto my mother (my mother described me as her "worst nightmare" as a kid because I effectively ruined her independence and hobbies from my needy nature... all is well though since she still had another child after me)
But when she's not insecure, she shows all the love she can. Despite knowing Raavi used to like Dev, and therefore, is "competition," she treated Raavi with nothing but respect in yesterday's episode. She was happy, fun, and caring as she shared her food. I'm sure these two will have many more conversations talking about trivial things...
That's not to say I don't like the other characters. I do! In fact, every character has a unique trait that I kind of want to steal from them.
Gautam --> Want to steal his calm/cool nature
Dhara --> Can I please have your caring nature, I feel like I'm some stone cold loser
Dev --> The older brother vibes... thanks for giving me ideas on how I can play with my sister 😈
Shiva --> Wish I can protect my family as you do!
Krish --> Wish I can be as funny as you!
Suman --> One day in the future, I hope I have the same calm but strict nature when I help my family deal with their problems
Prafulla --> Omg, wish I could plot as good as you! Love your schemes of getting Anita and Hardik together!
Raavi --> Wish I could have as positive as an outlook as you do!
Rishita --> Wish I could fight for things as you do!
Probably the only character I cannot get around with is Janardhan... but if he's the glue that makes all our couples stronger, more power to him!
