But this phase 3 parallel never stuck me, what do you think would make Atharv angry at Vividha? Because as hard as I try I am finding it difficult to imagine how Atharv's reaction to the changes around him be, which is exactly why I am eager for phase 3 to begin!

Thank you (in baby A's styleđ)
Naah.. Not angry.. Shiva was never angry at Parvati.. He only pretended to be because she was not ready.. Her growth was not complete enough to accept the Adishakti form. So, he kept her at a distance and put her through a series of challenges that would help her evolve and understand herself.
As far as ViTharv are concerned, I always knew that even after Atharv's return, they would not reunite immediately because Vivi is not ready either. She is still weak and dependent in sooo many ways. Her growth is far from complete.
Anyway, the CVs have played really smart here. Atharv is on the path to recovery but not completely cured. This achieves two important goals:
1) It keeps him in the V family house without butchering his character. Clearly, by the time he is cured, he would've bonded with all of them, so he would agree to stay himself.
2) With the secret out, Vivi has the opportunity to become her real self too.
I do not think he will be angry per se. He may not recognize her. Or his mental state might not be suitable enough to understand her. Regardless, the point is, whatever his current state of mind is, it will present challenges to Vivi and act as a catalyst for her growth.
Personally, THIS is what I want to see. Vividha's journey to self-acceptance. Owning her decisions and overcoming her own guilt. All by herself. If they are truly going to maintain the Shiv/Shakti parallels, then this would be the best direction to go.
By the time Atharv is perfectly cured, I want Vivi to stand as his equal. Serene and unapologetic. Wise and confident. Fearless and free.
^^This would be my version of an ideal story and ending.
