Is it possible it is Samar that was in the accident and not Shiv..........Shiv and Samar could've met and Shiv might;ve told Samar the whole thing with Shashank.. and he went to meet up them and got himself killed...............
Please I really don't wish either one of them to die.. but it seems like The story is revolved around Shiv and Gauir.. that means he should not be finished off like this..
