Probably raavi will give it back to shiva.she stood up for herself during the kangan kaand.rishita gave it to back to the women today.
But that won't redeem shiva.
The problem is to show the female leads standing up for themselves they will have to butcher the male leads to some extent.
Gaura's relationship is past the point of internal conflict, it's them vs the world now.
Devta conflict won't have that impact on the audience.
So who remains? Shivi.
They are going to Butcher Shiva's character first, then perhaps show raavi standing up for herself ( I am hoping so, though I feel they may show us her as bechari).
In Diya aur Baati Hum the male lead was super and supportive, though prone to occasional Mummy jaap. The female lead exposed fake godmen, caught terrorists and did other stuff with full support of ML. In return she supported the ML to win the cooking competition.
There were parts like the child swap stuff going unpunished which I did not like and some of the drama was certainly OTT But overall they did not dwell on a track for more than 15 episodes. Only the real important ones took more. TRPs were great. So people do like progressive MLs as well. Predominantly most audience appreciate the ML and FL standing together and giving it back. Looks like the writers have decided that GauRa are that couple in this show. Ideally should have been ShiVi and/or DevTa after the leap.
I do admit that had I not watched the Tamil original, I probably would not have felt this frustrated. I would have taken it as some drama track executed poorly and given the benefit of doubt. Maybe that's what the creators are banking on.
