A bit of light hearted trivia before i sleep (also i have actually caught up on this whole thread.. So proud of myself)
Mansukh is also Gautam's friend's name (same episode as below)
Kaand was also used by padosi wale uncle in the episode where they go to get papers from the lawyer's office.
Awwww, this scene broke my heart! Suman and Shiva have a special bond❤️ which I don't see much with Dev and Krish. I also like Suman and Gautam's bond. Some of their pre-leap scenes were great!
Tbh Shiva indeed has stronger bond with his family than his two brothers, Be it Suman, Dhara aur Gaumbi. It's Shiva who's always more caring for them selflessly, the first one to come forward to protect them and can do anything for them!❤️
That's why He gets most love from them in return too! Shiva's world literally roams around his family!

Yess...they definitely have a special bond.
I had also loved that scene where suman defended shiva when maami and raavi were hurling insults at him after the kidnapping fiasco.
There were so much emotions in her eyes when she was speaking about shiva. Pride, Hurt, sorrow 💔
He is such a good son❣️

They have immense love for each other, that's because Suman feels after Gautam, it's Shiva who understands her pain and suffering. Shiva at an early age understood Mami's evil nature and tried to protect and be helpful to the family. I can' never forget the scene you mentioned
Krish is a bachcha,playful, she uses him to extract information😆 when she is not included in the family matters and with Dev, he is also the quiet kind and all he cared about was to be in the good books of everyone and didn't want to get in trouble.
Part 3:
Suman Shiva- Because a Mother always knows-
As much as I hate Suman for her patriarchal approach, one thing is for sure that she is a mother who can get even the slightest change in the feelings of her sons.
Raavi is blushing, Dhara is happy during the Rasam, but only Suman can see the hurt on Shiva’s face. She can read through the pain during the arti or whenever he is bound to do Rasams with Prafulla. You can see how worried she is looking at Shiva while Maami feeds him the Laddoo
She closed her eyes at the mention of the Kangan

Today’s episode: Shiva and the Three Women
To understand Shiva today behind the HIDEOUS patriarchial lens, we need to see him from the perspective of the three women in his life-Suman, Dhara and Raavi. I am barring Rishita as she is his newfound coexisting family member and hasn't touched a raw nerve apart from her Rishimendra act!
I shall start with Shiva-Dhara as no one can touch what these two share. Dhara is the same woman who is said to have unbeatable control over Shiva. Her words are generally enough to stop him and give in. She exercises such authority over him from day 1. But, today, like I already pointed out in the morning, Shiva was vibrating with a spine chilling particulate energy-a black depth where everything around him had ceased to exist, even Dhara.
If you see the scene again, he isn't even looking at her how she seeks back his attention. At that moment, he ceases to exist as Dhara’s Shiva anymore! He probably expresses himself for the first time, saying that he may stop today at her behest, but he would never be happy in his entire life with this arrow piercing his heart forever.
Look at how she's holding on to him, trying to bring him back to Raavi and Rasam.
With her smile and warmth, she tries to revive hope and love within him. It's striking to note that Shiva’s world used to stop at Dhara, but he can't even look at her anymore.
He is fixated on hatred. Unresolved scars, faulty determination and at this exact moment, Shiva has ceased to exist in the PS plane anymore. It's like touching the rawest wound of your heart, which you've festered and fulminated over the years.
He isn't Dhara’s Shiva anymore.
This isn't about Raavi! He clears, and the Frame is fantastic here. Shiva’s dark eyes, Raavi’s crumbling sandcastle again and Dhara not even in the picture anymore. He is on a different place.
The angst, pinching pain, and the pent up emotional abuse of a lifetime just resurfaced all over his face again.
Whoa!!! 👏
Loved this analysis. 😍
And the caps!

About Sandcastles, Hope and Dreams!
Coming to Part 2 of the women in Shiva’s life today:
Unaware of the turmoil that's about to topple her mini sandcastle of hope which she has been building over after last night, Raavi is in her parallel universe, where she is her queen, and all is well. Much alike to her imaginary world where Dev was her hero.
Here, the problem with Raavi-Shiva is the lack of emotional connection or even the slightest inclination to include each other as partners. Raavi is mounting her expectations without an iota of understanding about the deep traumatic history of Shiva. On the other hand, Shiva is reclusive in most of his compartmentalised feelings to allow her even a sneak peek into his darkest moments.
Raavi-Shiva are like functional units of a disjointed puzzle. It will take a gazillion moons to pass by before they commence their journey as emotional units.
The slightest glimpse of hope and attraction.
She is beaming, seemingly unaware about any pain that has swam into Shiva’s eyes. She has built a sandcastle of hope. All seems to be okay in her world.
Shiva has transcended into a different plane. He isn't angry or anguished anymore. He is calm and hurting from the insides.
She looks at him with hope and love. He isn't Raavi’s Shiva yet, nor he ever was. His world revolved around her, but at this moment, he is reliving the demons of his past.
She is blushing in peaches and cream. She thinks the people important to her are bonding while utterly oblivious to her evil mother figure and hurting her husband. Takes me back to Raavi’s delusional world. Abandonment had made her genuinely delusional at times! Sadly, she is the victim in a scenario she has no deep understanding about.
Her bubble is burst to hear the Kangan issue again!
Sandcastles aren't real homes. Shivi have a lot more to deal with than being attracted to each other. ❤️
U analysed raavi very well … I hope we see growth of raavi from here .. she is so forgiving like she can never truly hate anyone
They just had one normal conversation and she was suddenly so hopeful .. I really want they should fall in love because of their history together and understanding not because she craves love
