They are on entirely different pages on the concept of marriage.
Shiva wants a proper relationship with the love, respect, acceptance that comes with it.not just a platonic compromised companionship.he has seen the devotion, passion, love that gaura share, he himself is an emotional, deep layered character. He can't be happy with friendship, formality and all the stuff.
Raavi is too complicated for me to understand now.
She wants to go in the filmy way.starting afresh from dosti or ajnabee. Being cordial with each other, doing the hubby wifey stuff.she cooking for him, bringing gifts for him. Being the pandya bahu.thats all she wants at this stage.
Honestly as much As I try to search reasons for her actions, the writers have messed up big time regarding her characterisation.
She was so emotionally affected that she tried to kill herself on her marriage day.she was literally shivering while getting married to shiva.
And then she moves on within what? A day or two?
Now she is in some other world itself.
She thinks shiva is handsome? That's a bit superficial, isn't she supposed to fall for the less groomed, shabbily dressed boy Because he has a heart of gold?
But when she was asked to describe shiva.she just said handsome.
@bold, this was what I had the biggest problem with in yesterday's episode. Since the beginning of the show, Shiva has been described to be explosive, angry, shabby... Raavi and other characters repeatedly reference to his appearance... and he suddenly becomes handsome? It left me in disbelief that she would describe him in that way... She could've used any other adjective... nice, interesting, etc. but handsome?
Makes me wonder why she never considered Shiva in the past. She was always closer to him, anyway. Dev always saw her superficially happy side, but Shiva had the full package by seeing her mischievous, angry, sad side... The "Prettiest Girl in all of Somnath" was supposed to tear each barrier Shiva set up to see the inner personality he was hiding... the love he could give her, the mischief he was capable of doing, the protection he could promise... she was supposed to say he's handsome after falling in love 🤦♀️
