Raavi’s Bday brings up a few possibilities:

1. The fact that she lost her parents 10 days after her birth or maybe the same day is heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine how someone feels in such a situation. We learn to celebrate our birthday from our parents. The loss is unimaginable but even more so if it’s associated with ones birth/birthday. Perhaps this might be a tipping point?

2. We initially thought it was Rishimendra’s special day & expected her to make a fuss. But knowing it’s Raavi’s Bday, I wonder if they are trying to recreate childhood moments by making the party appear to be one for a young girl. We might finally get the childhood stories we so badly want (without flashbacks unfortunately).

3. Raavi most likely had expected celebrating this birthday with her husband Dev. It’s so close to the wedding date. This would be an excellent opportunity to revive the Dev-Shiva tension or give a small glimpse of it. What if this year Dev accidentally wishes her first? I’m sure each year Raavi wanted Dev to wish her before anyone else but what happens when he finally does it under the current circumstances? What if Shiva overhears their conversation?

I think the decision of making it Raavi’s birthday has a purpose. The OG showed Rishita’s birthday so they could have easily done the same here & given us the usual drama. If the writers want, they can use this opportunity to bring the show back on track. This one event can give rise to so many emotions for Raavi, Shiva and all the other characters.

I agree with each point especially the first one being a tipping point for raavi. That would be heart-wrenching to watch but beautiful because Alice would do a phenomenal job

I love Raavi’s gaze here! She is amazingly surprised but ain't angry. Just a day ago, she was angry at being pushed around by Shiva, and now, she tags along with him like a tethered soul!

The truth is that most of life will unfold in accordance with forces far outside your control, regardless of what your mind says about it

Now coming to the epic reveal scene! The entire shot was done in a reveal mode with camera turns and slow motion. It's a revelation for Raavi-the same Raavi who believes she has no hope, love, respect in her marriage. She believes Shiva has abandoned her again, but then he swoops in without any provocation. Dhara did call her, but his realisation for the custom brings him back!

He is thereby her side, with a Shubharambh, the new beginning, a new genesis. He holds her like she belongs to him, this time on his free will without anyone's coaxing. He comes back only to be there. And, as usual, Raavi sees him in a new light, hence the reveal shot.

You want to be free. You also want to be mine. You can't be both.

His grip is firm, almost taking her to him with her steps.

Raavi looks at her hand in disbelief. This has to be the best gaze ever!

The rapture of an ‘innocent moment’ or an “unsuspected instant” can overwhelm us at any time, throughout our lives, and surprise us with a storm of liberating waves of good vibrations.

He is there in front of her like a sturdy collaborator in his lead!

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is thread, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

Simone Signoret

Ohhh, this Shiva is confident, stares at her in the eyes. He is not angry; he isn't shy; he isn't hesitant. That powerful gaze is an assurance. It's like an affirmative announcement-you are mine, and you shall find me right beside you.

I will be good to you. I will protect you. You are mine.

What makes Suman and Dhara believe so is because Shiva behaves nicely with them, they are his family. And these two ladies are like those mothers who think that their son is the best and can't do anything wrong. All these years they let Shiva misbehave with Raavi, this speaks about everything!

Shiva needs to learn to respect others, especially women outside the family. He still doesn't consider Raavi as his family completely, it's just in name kind of thing.

He's always been so rude to her that now, when at moments, Shiva leaves without talking back to her, Raavi wonders what actually happened to him and why didn't he react like always. She is used to his misbehavior now but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt her.

That's why I am always taking Raavi's side because she is not at fault in this relationship.

@bold- that's what annoys me the most, even in the past Dhara has asked Shiva to apologize to Raavi and he'll brush it off and get away with not apologizing and Dhara won't say anything and Suman always takes Shiva's side no matter what

it's actually quiet sad that for raavi normalcy is shiva yelling at her and berating her, how one progresses from the stage I have no idea and I don't think it will happen any time soon

although I love shiva so so much, out of the two I'm on her side as well.

I think it's a deliberate and most poignant frame. Dev is smiling as this Raavi isn't Dev’s Raavi anymore. She has unknowingly Crossed the threshold. Dev is a distant memory now! Shiva doesn't extend his palm not do they hold hands. He grips her and moves forward. There's a unique authority and dominance in this scene. He is there like on their wedding day, holding her, standing there for her. Just like he had pulled her down from the noose breaking the doors.

Sometimes life gives you a second chance, or even two! Not always, but sometimes. It’s what you do with those second chances that counts.
