It us the writers and directors fault combined with leadben being a mediocre actor.

It has been the narrative since the beginning that Raavi is never taken seriously, always humiliated and abused by every family member (not going to let go off Dev for what he did at the altar). The writers themselves don’t respect Raavi as a character then how will their otger characters respect her,

If you see everytime, Raavi is the one putting effort to save their marriage and love.
Disha -3rd angle track- Raavi stopped the engagement

IVF/divorce kaand- agreed to Jabariya shaadi proposed by Bhabima but kater told the truth to Shiva

Shuva’s death kaand- Raavi’s faith and belief brought Shuva back when others including Bhabima and Suman fave up but what did the writers they showed Bhabi- Shiva reunion first

Long SM kaand which started in August until Dec when Raavi’s fake abortion happened- Again after the truth was out, Raavi walked out on Shiva, the guy tried once to pacify her but later went and cried on Bhabima’s lap. She went the next day to sort things out in the boxing ring. But what did he do, ended up blaming her for the entire fiasco because she lied.

Now this mental health and memory loss track since January - its been 5 months of utter garbage. Again Raavi is putting the effort to save their marriage

Why is it always Raavi? Why is it always one-sided? 🙄

How will someone feel for Shiva throughout most of these tracks? Many by now have come to the conclusion that Raavi deserves better and she is completely wasting her time and effort in this guy

I did not mean to absolve Dev of his part in the first marriage fiasco. That might even be the reason for him to not be shown as rude and insulting towards Raavi unlike the others?

Shiva and Raavi's marriage has always been held together by Raavi and sadly I don't see things changing even if he gets better.

Before Shiva developed feelings for her he had the attitude of "I don't care if you want to leave". After that it changed to "Get out of my life for your own good". Then it was "Prove your feelings for me while I keep pushing you away and don't tell you mine". There were a lot of "Go away because you betrayed me" phases after that.

He clearly wasn't someone who was ready for a relationship or commitment. It was always too much take with barely any give. Not to mention how she could only expect to be treated 'well' as long as she behaved according to him. That's not healthy.

The lack of proper acknowledgment of mistakes, guilt, accountability and growth are what have prevented me from feeling bad for Shiva. Not only does he mess up badly, he doesn't need to work to fix it and keeps repeating the same things without learning from his past. His insecurity and hurt starts to come across as arrogance and entitlement.

Even if at the last minute he gets his memory back and gets back with Raavi, its going to look so fake to me.

Ideally I would want Raavi to walk out on him at that point but Choubays Raavi lacks self respect and self love. She will immediately hug him and thank him for coming back in her life and allowing her to breathe🙄🙄

That’s the validation Shiva needs and he will be on to his next kaand and the next girl 😆

This man should have been ditched the first time he allowed disha to wear that ring on him..he proved his worth right thr..ravi is an idiotic fool of chobeys imagination who alone will feel grateful to be this naalayaks wife..the first version of shiva was indeed right..he really is not worthy of ravi and she really deserves to be away from these creeps..

Seriously...how lucky is this fool ...whats wrong with writers..out of all the good traits they could have written for a character,they gave just one good feature for shiva..that he is one lucky son of a witch..🤷‍♀️

Whatever you said about Shiva’s character is true! He us the quintessential ITV ML who is there to shout at the FL and be rude to her and most importantly, DON’T SUPPORT her come what may. His lack of guilt, accountability and introspection is definitely coming across as him being entitled and arrogant.

Is it bad that at this point I almost want Shiva and Arushi's marriage to happen just so Raavi can file a police case against them and move on with her life.

She needs to start thinking about her child and prioritising him over others who don't even care about her. Her life has been on hold for so many years but she can finally start living for herself (and her son).

Why be bound to people who don't and won't respect you or treat you right. That's the only way she can regain her self-worth and subsequently get her self-confidence and self-respect back. It isn't possible with the kind of environment or people in that house.

Do you think they will show Raavi to be that strong?

Bhabhi & Suman will snatch Mitthoo from her, even if that child has major anxiety that his baba forgets him, he is very attached to his mom -even with little scenes.

If they could , they will show him choosing Dhara as mother mahan, want to live with cousins. How he was shown tailgating with chikoo & shesh in confusion about parents.

No hope from this creatives for anything positive.

Who is the witch? Bhabima, Suman or both? 😆

amount of offscreen bonding being pushed with gobar gives me nasty feeling. I donot trust this makers.

They most certainly will not show that.

I'm prepared for Raavi to be seen apologising to Shiva and his family for some reason or the other at the end of this track. I have sadly come to accept that.

What I said in that post was plain wishful thinking which I know won't happen but still can't help but want.

Unfortunately they just aren't providing a reason to root for Shiva and Raavi's relationship and the further they drag this, the more I'd want for her to leave. Arushi has been treated better by Shiva than Raavi ever was. He went against his whole family for her but always put his family above his wife. What are they trying to show?

What I find astonishing is how the writers and makers fail to see this. None of their characters are anything like what they started out as (and not in a good way) and clearly are nothing like what they are trying to portray them to be. Why make them behave in such a way if they don't mean to acknowledge that.

If Dhara is the mature and loving motherly figure, show her acting as such. Why make her create a mess of things and fail in her plans every single time? Why have her actions adversely affect the rest of the family if they don't want her to be called out on that?

Same goes for all the other characters on the show. Either have the writing portray their mistakes and wrongs as such or don't show them doing that in the first place.

I hope KD is very happy as Shiva diwanis are very excited along with him for upcoming gobar marriage.

Also he must be happy as shivi fans are upset and are loosing interest in this wahiyat track. If he can't talk to his makers and is supporting this ghatiya track he should loose fans. I m sure he never objected to the maker whatever ghatiya they are writing. I don't believe him when he says if he doesn't like a track he speaks to his annadata. My foot.

We will be happy if this wahiyat, R rated show gets axed. This show needs to be shut down.

Feel disheartened to see so much negativity surrounding Raavi/ Alice...the push to write her off...

Had people pushed for dhara to be written off so much...pandya store would have been a sane show

Anyways.... Writing off shivi would be the biggest blunder ps makers/ creatives can commit...

They have always consciously chosen to select the most negative comments and buzz for shivi story

Rest is upto them and destiny
