Pandya Store|Episode Discussion Thread #7 - Page 12

I was thinking... maybe we should have a thread where we drop in ideas for scenes we want to see in the next episode or within that week. I don’t know if other forums do this or if we have one already. Who know... maybe someone from the team will see it and incorporate into future tracks.

For example, after yesterday, I want a scene of Raavi thinking about Dev, Shiva and her conversation with Dhara. I’m hoping the mirror scene covers this.

Another scene I want is of Shiva in the shower thinking about Raavi’s anger. Maybe feeling a bit bad about what she said but also wondering why her tears affect him so much.

A scene of Gaumbi deciding to spend more time with Dhara.

Just random scenes that don’t fall under fanfic requests.

Something interesting about Shiva - he is affected by her tears only when it's someone else causing them. Remember the mehndi episode? Raavi's eyes welled up when he ruined her mehndi and he didn't seem too upset about that. (Although I do feel that was just Shiva lashing out at her because of his own intense emotions more than wanting to hurt her.) This is a different take on the cliche trope of the ML not being able to stand the FL's tears the second she's upset. Here, Shiva doesn't get protective when it's him hurting her and I find that immensely interesting.

This actually does happen in real life too albeit with different intentions and contexts. You sometimes make loved ones cry, perhaps with harsh words and normally we don't comfort them immediately because we're still not over our own emotional high, but we do feel bad about it.

In the mehndi episode, though, it didn't look like Shiva felt remorseful. In fact, his face during that saga reminded me of a problem child upsetting a peer, and I wondered if that's also possibly alluding to the "boy pulls your hair because he likes you" psychology? I don't know.

What might be his mindset regarding her tearing up then?

You write so well! Loved reading your analysis!❤️ I completely agree the moment Raavi sees the real Shiva understand that under his rough exterior is an extremely passionate, emotional man who will go to the extent of even killing someone for the people he cares for, she is going to be all head over heels madly in love with him. That time is not now but it will surely come, we just need to have patience.

When she will come to know the difference between the soft love (I think its infatuation but she gave it the name of love) that she had for Dev versus the passionate, exhilarating, crazy love that she is going to get from Shiva, she will be thanking her lucky stars and counting her blessings that she got married to Shiva and not Dev. An exciting journey full of passion, love, hurt, healing is awaiting her and all of us! Truly Shivi journey is going to be something that we all will cherish!❤️

❤️Thank you!

I love the last part. The difference between Dev and Shiva is noticeable, and Raavi, I believe that she has already realised the uselessness of Dev even as a friend. Soon enough, she’d see the intense dynamics she shares with Shiva.

Am I the only one who thinks that Shiva’s life revolved pretty much around Raavi and hers around him? I don't want Gaura to keep alluding to Shivi giving their example. I want Shivi to discover themselves on their own. They should realise their relationship and its evolution on their own. They aren't Gaura. They are two people who share a deep history.

Absolutely, I think he has already established his “haq” over her and he will tear anyone into pieces if that person tries to encroach on their private territory that he has already marked. And that space only comprises of Raavi and him, no one else! Only he has the “haq” over her tears and her smile, no one else.

Well, well! I think you have a point here. Unlike the typical MCP’s on TV, Shiva doesn't HURT RAAVI to the end of none-return. He does so because, according to him, she does bump into him often. The reaction she evokes in Shiva is very layered.

When he ruined her Henna, he is unapologetic and angry. But, the very next moment when Dev ignores her when she is dancing, he pushes him to dance. There are tiny things he does for her. He coaxed her to die but goes running madly behind her to save her. He hurls her away most of the time but always pulls her back from getting even the tiniest bit of hurt.

Her tears make him mad. That is evident in the Mithai Kaand during their post-wedding. When she sobbed, he went angry on a rampage.

When Dev refused to marriage, his first reaction was laughter, and then he went on a rampage, reprimanding him again and again for causing this mess.

He has a strong connection with her. What? How? Why? It is yet to be discovered. I don't want the cliche route of ‘falling in love because we are married trope. I want them to realise that what they shared was rare.

Completely agreed! I think Shivi do not have a world without each other. Their entire life revolves around each other. I dont know what they both would have done if Raavi would have married Dev! Clearly they cannot live without each other. Either the marriage would have ended up in a divorce or Raavi would have led a loveless life forever. And Dev being Dev and Rishita being the woman she is they would have had an extra marrital affair. I dont even want to imagine what would have happened.

I am so glad that this never happened! Now I just want to see how their beautiful story starts. These two are going to create a history of their own. And trust me this love story is going to be even more passionate, exciting than Gaura’s. Gaura’s love story though beautiful was a softer version. Shivi love is going to be mad, crazy with a lot of longing and passion. I am sure it will be a mad, mad journey which we all are going to love!

@Bold I completely agree and feel the same! There is a very strong possibility that this was the case and still is! One of the reasons why I want more flashbacks!

Look at this frame here. He loses his shit at the cameraman, Rishita, and shakes his legs vigorously after he sees her sobbing ! It's very beautiful, and pious.

Ahh I love this scene. The intensity with which he is looking at her. You know he is hurt beyond repair to see her in tears. The way he was about to blast Rishita after that but controlled himself because of “maryada” crap which Dhara would have told him later.

Also just after that scene when Raavi walks away towards the wedding car, Shiva immediately follows her, walks behind her, keeping her within his sight so that he is sure that his chipkali is safe and doesnt end up hurting herself again. That was a beautiful scene too, the way he follows her out speaks a lot about how he is going to protect her from everything that comes her way in their relationship❤️
