I don't want to let out more details as many of you haven't watched it yet but today mostly likely people will get to know the purpose of Mallika cameo like me. Shivay in no way going to break the wall of his heart and truely realize that Anika is the one for me before he gets married to perfectly fitting Tia, so to make him and probably Anika too as early as possible that they are meant for each other is needed and after watching tonight's episode you will know how only Mallika can do it.
She will be the means for ShiVika to know each other's thought process well, otherwise jab tak yeh dono ek doosre ko acche tarah se samje Tia would be Mrs. SSO. Shivay is very practical and precap shows Anika too is very practical regarding love, so they both aren't the people who will make their heart win over their mind merely based of attraction or strange connect, pull etc. So there need to be someone who has seen the real vulnerable side of Shivay Singh Oberoi and its Mallika, you will know it in tonight's episode.
Seems like this time Gul is taking a very diffrent route for a love story, atleast I feel so after the precap, let's see how it is unfolding.
