The ideal relationships don’t exist in the real world. It’s a lie we tell ourselves. Relationships, people are far more complicated than black and white.
Shiva did hit a rock-bottom spiral of self-pity and angst, and any form or validation in this vulnerable state makes him simply human. So, is Raavi. She doesn’t know what she wants or do!
Such complexity happens when you have different expectations from a relationship. It’s not Shiva CA Raavi for me. Both have hit a wrong chord now and can’t mend their relationship unless they want to.
I am eagerly waiting for their divorce to happen!!!
That shall bring a lot of Tadka to their stagnant, time-loop stuck relationship.
Also, adultery is a serious word that implies:
voluntary sexual activity (as sexual intercourse) between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband also
So, technically they are married on papers which makes Shisha fall into the lap of emotional infidelity which is again a very tricky area for an already divorcing couple. People who go through divorce can tell better.
Emotional infidelity is an extremely grey area. Do I support infidelity-NoBut, it does happen in real life and this narrative has a very delicate hint towards it. High levels of platonic emotional infidelity happens with a huge urban chunk of the population. Work spouses are becoming a reality.
In short, matters of the heart are sometimes complex than the laws of the land.
From strictly a narrative stand point, I like the storytelling not because I endorse the moral ambiguity but the moral ambiguity makes it an interesting piece of fiction.I’d take the intricate journey of characters any day over monotonous husband-wife talks or countless eyelocks.
I like the conflict of Shivi a lot!
They both have a parallel imaginary relationship with each other which is far from reality.Their conflict isn’t confined to typical love-hate. It’s beyond and better. If this conflict ceases to exist, there won’t be any tale left to tell.
Their relationship reminds me of Pip-Estella from Great Expectations, Hades-Persephone or even Noor-Firdaus from Fitoor.
There’s a certain sense of poetic expression in their relationship. Despite being married, they can’t be labelled.Shiva doesn’t want that while Raavi wants To playhouse!!!
They wanted different things from each other. This conflict makes their story interesting including Disha.
Disha is just a plot point to drive home the point of contention between Shivi.
It’s unpopular but another viewpoint. Morally ambiguous tales in fiction are interesting to watch!
Agreed!! They need to sort it out. It's like they are puppet in their own lives. Being jealous isn't going to prevent the divorce even if Raavi doesn't want it.
Being touchy feely with another woman is pathetic and I'm very upset that the maker's have done this to Shiva.
Cheating is cheating, emotional ho, sirf physical nahi hota.
I don't understand Raavi. She says a million things to Dhara but doesn't talk to Shiva. How do they think their life will progress if they let other's into their relationship. They need to learn this and I agree, divorce might force them to see the truth of their relationship.
There is no room for ego, superiority in a relationship. This is the lesson both need to learn.
