Woah there dude! You are on fire! Awesome posts, you literally just articulated everything else I wanted to say in one post lol Cant even add to it, its perfect lol and so damned true. All of it. You cant change Shivam- the only way he could change in my opinion is if he experienced blind pink goggled love- true, passionate, all consuming love. He will not- hes not built for it- and so he will never treat his partner as an equal or with basic fairness. He is his father's son- Raghav in the past didn't want to really know anything that was going on with his family, just as long as they were following Shanti's orders and not upsetting her. Likewise Shivam doesn't want to know a damn thing as long as Riya is the Yes Girl to the entire Srivastav family. Raghav MIGHT have made some very good points lately- commenting on how they are treating Riya differently to Preeti- but lets face it guys, it's too little too late. As you said- he is the root cause- although I personally think it is Khushia. But whatever- THEY are the parents, and Raghav is like the head man of the family but he leaves every tiny decision to his psycho mum? C'mon man, you didn't have kids and a wife just to fob them off onto your mother. Face the consequences today, you only have yourself to blame.
Sana21- you said And the major problem is he just cannot handle anything said about his family, even about shashikala inspite of knowing what a evil granny she is, he choses to ignore it all, coz shashikala is his family. Perfectly true, Ive said it before and wish I could like that comment a dozen times- he cant handle anything said about his family regardless of their evil ways. Its ok for him to call his own dadi Shashikala and be derogatory to her and about her, its ok for his sisters to do it but don't anyone else dare. Including his WIFE- who in fact has never said anything outright nasty about shanti- she has only spoken the truth to him. And he just flips out and turns into an angry beetroot. Jesus is this guy really a man?? How the hell can we seriously accept that this man was EVER in love with Riya??? You guys who are married or in a relationship to the love of your life- do you keep stuff from them? Do you give them double standards or make them feel like they aren't even part of the family? Hell, you make them feel like they are part of YOU, never mind the bloody family. He just doesn't give a crap about her. It matters not to him whether she is there or not, as long as she isn't making waves or thinking outside the box then she is his quiet, sweet, lovely little pet mouse. I mean ewww. He gives me the major creeps.
And the biggest problem of all, he claimed to love Riya but has never for once tried to make her comfortable in his house,always burdened her with expectations and responsibilities. In fact, I remember at the very beginning Shivam actually begged Riya to ask Shanti something about not letting her stay at her dads house after the wedding. Do you remember that? Riya was telling him how inappropriate it would be for her to ask like that, and HE begged her, like a little baby to convince shanti to let her stay with him. Seriously? Shes your dadi you childish idiot, you convince her. Why put your new wife through something so uncomfortable? Who is the man here?? Lol. And this has been his pattern throughout. I think you mentioned somewhere sana21, concerning money matters. When Riya was clearly given the sole responsibility over the finances of the house, the only advice LMAO that shivam could give her "It will be fine my love, all will be well, don't worry". I couldn't stop laughing at how utterly useless, unhelpful, pointless and idiotic he sounded. And then to top it off, his sister goes crying to him cuz she hasn't got enough money to make a dress or something- and knowing FULL well that Riya was struggling to keep on top of the household costs (because Shanti was making a mess out of it), he STILL went to her and not only asked her for money, he made her feel guilty for it!!! He actually said to her that he hated the way his mum and sisters had to beg for money from shanti and he didn't want to see them do that with her, so she should just give them what they need. And THEN he goes on to tell her- so helpfully- "I know you will figure it out darling". LMAO! What?? How is that helpful? Hes digging her grave for her, may aswell have kicked her in it himself. And then when there was no money left he blew up at her screaming at her why she didn't say anything...uuuhhh mate- she did tell you, she said she only had so much left and you still asked for money, are you retarded or something?
@anjs
LOL! Agree. Double standard is too kind a word, its more like outright prejudice against Riya- or the entire modern world maybe? Lol The srivastavs should give up electricity and shanti should bin her precious radio if they loathe modernism so much. Hypocrites, they will use the inventions of modern thinkers but not even consider thinking outside the box and catching up to the rest of the world. Yes indeed, the srivastavs can only be respectable if they are married off, there is no other way apparently lol oh and stuff you if youre not of their blood (aka Doormat Riya), you obviously can go and rot in the Ganges somewhere. Joke of epic proportions- but a bigger joke is the idiot who wants to be part of such a deranged family.
