What kind of a mother is she to see her child self-harm! RIDICULOUS!
And man, I have told many times, these men don't need other women in their lives. It's very UNHEALTHY!
No woman will be ever happy in a scenario like this.
I have been noticing the change in Shiny's acting as well. In the beginning, she was living and breathing the role of Dhara, but nowadays, there's a sense of discomfort... beyond whatever "pain" Dhara is supposed to be having during her emotional torture. It's as if she is just as disappointed with her character arc as we are. As if she understands a mother wouldn't continue this emotional torture after seeing her child in pain.
Shiva hurting himself, and Dhara blatantly trying to ignore his pain just proves how unsteady this whole family relationship has been, and it even makes me wonder what type of "mother" Dhara had been to these three when they were younger. How could she blatantly ignore that Shiva doesn't want Raavi at the moment, he just needs her forgiveness to move on. I'm sure after she forgives him, he would listen to her words and make an effort with Raavi.
Right now, no matter what Raavi does, Shiva will not be happy. He cares for Dhara's acceptance, especially after she beat them like that the other day. He doesn't want to carry that guilt any longer, and Dhara's acceptance is the only way he can be happy again. But Dhara "Ma" doesn't understand. She thinks that if she "exits" the situation, Raavi and Shiva will get together. But honestly, Shiva doesn't need this, and Raavi certainly doesn't need this as Shiva has continuously proved to her that Dhara will always come first which is just heartbreaking for a wife to face.
