After Today's episode, I am definitely this whole engagement is a ruse by Om. And Shivaay is definitely in on it. Because in the episode when Rudra tries to get Shivaay to talk to Tej, it looks like he is looking on his phone and then he has this look of contemplation on his face and after that he just doesn't say anything when Rudra insists more. I think Om texted him about his plan so Shivaay decided not to interfere. Even when he was walking away, Rudra and Anika both tried to talk to him but Shivaay didn't even try to step in his way... kuch khichdi toh dono pakka rahe hain lol.
Then when everyone was asking him why is he not doing anything and acting so different, he just avoided them and was looking really hassled trying to explain his reasoning. And when Anika tried to talk to him, he kept avoiding her and was trying to look away from her and changing the topic. Puri daal hi kaali hain yahaan...
His NKK jaap really didn't bother me today. Whatever he was saying today made sense to me for some reason. Maybe because I know for a fact that this is all a plan and Om isn't actually going to marry Svetlana. But he was right in way. Sometimes when it comes to our family, we love them so much we don't care if what we are doing is right or wrong. We just care for the betterment of the family. But if Om really did marry Svetlana, he doesn't realise that the person who he is doing all this for, his mother would die a thousand times seeing her son's life destroyed. She would hate herself for it.. Doing this will not make Tej magically an amazing husband. Doing this will not save their marriage. Doing this will not heal Janvi's scars...
Another thing that got to me from Shivaay's speech was when he said "sometimes we have to do things for our family that is not necessarily right for us but it is for the good of the family"
When Anika plays this memory loss game and Shivaay finds out later that this was all a plan, and he goes full-on nuclear on her, I think she's going to throw those words right back at him. I would love it if she said: " It doesn't matter what I did was right or wrong or dangerous. It doesn't matter if I scared you or hurt you. At the end of the day, I did it for the good of you and this family which makes it right"
P.S. loved the look of terror on Svetlana's face and the shiver in her voice. She has no idea of the beast she has awakened...Om's going to eat her alive ...
