Do you think Raavi's kept her secret Mannat to resolve MUs between ShiVi?
Based on today's episode seeing Raavi praying to the Matkas and making a wish of the fights between ShiVi to resolve as she can't bare it, do you think she's kept her secret Mannat?
I have a feeling she has.

Yes, I think she kept a mannat. If the matkas wasn't enough to convince me, the bedroom scene was enough for me.
I truly felt for her when she was upset that Shiva wasn't the least bit concerned when she fell. The poor girl saw how Shiva ran to her when the roof was about to collapse during the NDE. But right now, a simple slip and fall couldn't evoke any type of emotion 😭
Again, I think she and Shiva are expecting different things for their relationship. While Shiva wants a romantic relationship, Raavi wants something along the lines of friendship, and you can't blame either for what they wish. Shiva never loved someone, so of course he would be a step forward. Raavi meanwhile, loved and constructed an entire future with her crush. She now has to revise her dreams and future to include Shiva. Instead of love, friendship seems easier at the moment.
So if anything, I think her mannat would be related to forming a friendship with Shiva. I think this yatra will be two fold. 1: Raavi will make her mannat, 2: Someone (whether it be Dhara or Rishita or Dev or Gaumbi) will talk to Shiva about the importance of compromise. Someone needs to tell him that friendship does not mean Raavi doesn't love or respect him. After all, friends can become lovers... and I think that may be the reassurance Shiva needs to give compromise a chance.

Keeping fingers crossed for this Avi!

This sounds so beautiful! I would love it if a positive outcome comes out of this yatra track for ShiVi❤️
I hope she has! that would be delightful to watch.. it would be the first conscious step taken by Raavi towards the betterment of her marriage, even though it might only be to gain Shiva's friendship ❤️
At this point, I don't even want this yatra to solve things between them...
Imagine this happening, considering how in yesterday's EDT we were discussing how there might be a Shivi scene in the rain during the yatra because only KDice were still in those drenched clothes....
Something could happen to Raavi during the yatra, she could faint or something, because who wouldn't after 25 km of walking, but Shiva shows minimal concern and it's the rest of the family taking care of her. If Raavi does have a secret mannat, this could possibly push her over the edge... It could lead to a Shivi confrontation with her revealing her mannat and asking Shiva why he keeps going away from her no matter how hard she tries to come closer to him....
At this point Shiva could either
a) tell her he doesn't want to be her majboori, a compromise and they can finally have a proper conversation....
b) he can tell her once again that he doesn't want her to try to come close to him, that he thinks this relationship will never work and Raavi can tell him she'll make his wish come true and ta da.... separation...
I voted for she will keep the mannat based on the episode.
Little apprehensive about Shiva agreeing to friendship with Raavi- wouldn't it be another friends to lovers story then?
Or would it just be a temporary fix for the relationship, allowing ShiVi time to revisit their past?
Honestly, if they force this friendship down Shiva's throat, I want him to be adamantly friendly when eventually Raavi falls in love. He should really say "My feelings are not a switch. You pushed me for friendship, and I have moved on and convinced myself to not expect more. I cannot go back."
Ohh well, this is ITV 😐

@bold, this would be the most beautiful conflict they would have to face 🧡
I think Shiva will break down his walls temporarily to allow for friendship and an end to their exhausting conflict, but I don't think he would he would ever be friends. He seemed very adamant that day when he said they could never be friends. I think he would keep a secret wall between them, something Raavi doesn't realize until she falls in love with him. I sense this realization coming when Raavi realizes that despite being "friends" she knows next to nothing about Shiva... like Dhara, Gaumbi, Krish, even Rishita could all make subtle comments about Shiva's preferences and Raavi could be like, "No, he's not like that!" only to be proved wrong by Shiva.
I'm really hoping the PS spy listens to your wish 🧡 We need Chikki's prayers here 😉 It would cause Raavi to search deeper and attempt to understand Shiva beyond face value, and it would give Shiva the confidence that Raavi truly loves him for who he is and not out of majboori
I believe Raavi has kept mannat. At this point she is ready to do anything to salvage this relation. She is not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. She has pinned her hopes on Bholenath now.
She asks for ending the constant conflict and she should get that for her peace of mind.
I would love if we have a Raavi monologue with the Shivling and Shiva overhearing( idea from EDT discussion). Once Shiva gets to know that she wants him for who he is and wants the relation to stabilise, I think majority of his insecurities will be taken care of. He can refuse the hand of friendship but not harshly. Rather he should refuse like he did in the ajnabee scene- bachpan ke har hisse me tu hai. Similarly we can't be friends because we are already more. Then we can have Raavi a bit confused yet accepting the olive branch all the while wondering what Shiva meant. Are they more than friends already?
While Shiva works on Raavi's abandonment issues and fear of falling in love again, Raavi can slowly look back on her childhood. Despite her Dev chant, it was never Dev but Shiva who she was found with. Maybe they were always meant to be more.
After watching the episode I felt the same to some extent and was confused about which option to choose but then I voted for option B because that's what I want it to be😆
I won't mind if she has kept a mannat because that'll be beautiful too, it'll be raavi's first major(silent) step for amending things. Abhi tak to sirf rok tok aur haath pakadti thi😆
But I want it to be the 2nd option and I want makers to tone down dobiness of raavi to some extent and then I'll be amazing to watch her realising the reason behind shiva's behaviour and her own feelings.
P. S lots of beautiful answers here❤
