I know fans had too much expectations from todays episode but I kind of liked todays episode and few points got very clear in todays episode.
First point is billu & billi still have a long way to go before confession that is for sure.
NKK is still there. This gives me hope & I am actually happy that they will be addressing this issue as we know that NKK is the base of shivika story. Annika is like breathe to Shivaay but still NKK is holding him back,
Another thing I am sure of that there will be no confession until & unless Annika's past is out. Shivaay will accept annika fully even after knowing her past & don't know why but her past story track seems very important to me.
Since the base of story is still not addressed so I feel that today episode was good only.
I have 100% faith on Harneet that we will definitely get Omkaara - Shivaay scene from episode 6 when SSO will be totally in love & accept Annika. At this point it does not make any sense of confession. And as far as for realisation, Shivaay's action already speaks that he can't live without her & he know it. He is man of action so I doubt that we will get anything sort of realisation.
As Gul had said that SSO journey towards love is more beautiful than love and that is what we are seeing. So SSO still has a long way to become a true ishqbaaaz.
Regarding pinky-annika relationship, I feel they are showing this because at the end they will show pinky accepting annika with motherly love which Annika craved for that is why annika is still calling her aunty.
PS: I think the motive of Annika getting shot is billu anger as we saw now he wants acp & i think this will lead to Mahi's truth. If annika wouldn't have got shot then no way billu was going to get back to mahi or acp
For those who wanted episode 6 scene, it will happen for sure:
Actually it was an ObBros scene together was the expectation

That will happen when Shivaay is ready to accept he has fallen in love. But why the hurry? We should be allowed to tell our story our way

we are disappointed because we expected too much because of the spoilers...ishqbaaz is not a typical drama which focus on confession,consummation and pregnancy drama...they are dealing with relationships
they are focusing on permanent transformation of a person...if shivaay realized his love now then if Nkk arises again and if he decided to avoid Annika because of that it will be worse and we will be first ones who will bash them...pinky's insecurity should be there then only at last it will change into a beautiful relationship...some where I know if pinky love someone then she will love to the core...one day she will love Annika more than shivaay...when she became a mother to Annika...shivaay journey will be beautiful
we had waited this much...let's wait some more time
it's better no to rush because if things happen so fast then we will loss the interest...from harneet tweet it's clear that wat we had expected to see that is shivaay accepting his love to om will happen in future...
the CV's gave so many hints to us in today's episode that is
1.Nkk will be back
2.once shivaay realizes his love then he will become a complete ishqbaaz
3.pinky's insecurity again raised
most importantly shivaay had cried today in front of saahil...he always opens up to saahil...he is like his friend...
