Hi there, I am actually a silent reader and enjoy reading the discussion trend alot.
I actually didn’t mind the episode, to be honest I have seen worse in pandya store.
Firstly, I really enjoyed watching how each and every member of the family (apart from Suman and Shiva) really tried in their own way to stop the engagement. This is what family is for, and I loved how they all indirectly stood against Suman.
Secondly, this episode has Raavi’s name written all over. The amount of respect I have for this girl is doubled. She stood strong and tall for what is morally right. She indirectly claimed what is rightfully hers without losing her dignity.
Raavi as a character has always been ignored by the writers. Her emotions are hardly explored and she has always been shown as a dobi, week and for comic purposes. Nothing every consistent or concrete was ever been written for her.
However in the past few episodes especially today the writers have really up their game when it comes to Raavi, her dialogues have been powerful and impactful. She has stood strong against Shiva and has the upper hand in this relationship.
Up till this track, Shiva’s POV on this relationship has been explored, it has always been indicated that he is the one that will be the giver in this relationship, that he will protect her, save her when in danger and care for her. Hence she is the lucky one to have Shiva.
However for the first time the makers have clearly shown what Raavi brings to this relationship, and that she is the preserver of this relationship. She will fight against those who try and come inbetween them, even if that person is Shiva himself. She will be the one that will fight for his happiness alongside hers.
Raavi’s this trait has previously been touched upon, pre marriage, when she would always come back to him seeking for his approval even after he harshly pushes her away, kangan track when she come back without getting a proper apology from his side or after the dairy incident when she tried to work things out with Shiva. Unfortunately, this all got lost in translation as these tracks were always presented from Shiva’s POV, hence what Raavi had done during these tracks got unnoticed, which was fought for their relationship.
However this time around one can clearly see that she will be the fighter for this relationship. Shiva is someone that when the going gets tough, with the pressure of his family, he will always give up on what he actually wants. That Raavi will be that person who will fight for him and herself.
Hence I loved this episode, as for the first time it clearly highlighted Raavi’s role is in this relationship. The only thing that upsets me is that with all the negativity around the episode, fans have clearly missed to appreciate what Raavi has done today, which is she stood up for what was morally correct but also indirectly for her relationship with Shiva. That he is also very lucky to have a fighter like her.
Offcourse as this is Pandyas store, there is always parts of the epsiodes which are simply cringing and digesting to watch. But I just ignore, as I am happy to see something from Raavi side, as she finally got to shine as an individual.
I hope my take on the episode would help you see it from another perspective.
P.S apologies for spelling or grammar mistakes.
Hii and welcome to the forum ❤️

I think most of us agree that raavi was indeed the star of the week ❣️
