OKAY, there's one thought that's gnawing at me and I have to get it out of my system. I think there have been enough discussions about Omkara's erratic behaviour, though I don't condone his actions in any way, I think the disconnect we are feeling is largely because his narrative is missing from the story. The CVs should really work on that.
I know all stories move at a snail's pace since they try to strecth the show as long as possible but all these scenes that we get of OM and Gauri, without follow-up they just lose meaning. For instance, the CPR scene. It was beautifully enacted but there was no follow up, maybe a little insight into what Omkara thought/felt would have lent it more meaning. In the flash back they used they showed that clip where he tells Gauri that he hates her. According to my understanding it can mean two things: He either hates/dislikes her and inspite of the hate he chose to save her life, like any normal human being would in that situation. Or that he cares for her and those words were said in anger. But without OM's perspective on everything that happened and the circumstances he met and married Gauri in, we are left to our own devices and we draw our own conclusions. Obviously, RiKara are the protagonists of the show and they have to fall in love eventually and being the hopeless RiKara shippers that we are, we see love and care in everything (😆). What I am trying to get at is the importance of exploring OMs emotions and feelings. That will give more credibility to his actions.
If I were to take things at face value, I don't think OM even likes Gauri yet. He seemed to be a little concerned during Svetty's attack on Gauri and when she fainted but it was just a natural concern/guilt nothing more than that. I doubt he even likes Gauri ATM. All family members should stop forcing Gauri down his throat. That's so infuriating. Let him make his own decisions. No wonder he takes it all out on Gauri.
Shivaay's situation was different, all the gayaans Om gave him were needed because Shivaay was attracted to Annika but his NKK/Ego would not let him act on it. OM does not have any such ego issues. His situation does not warrant the same treatment.
What would have been better instead of the unsolicited advice he's being given is that Shivaay should have asked him why and how he married Gauri. For all they know, she really is a gold-digger waisay bhee, Oberios have shit loads of enemies, what if she is one of them? Shivaay could have put Khanna on her case and in the process some of OM's MU could have been removed (since the major MU doesn't go that soon). This way, they could have also kept the real essence of the O'Bros intact instead of the over-emphasis on Pinky and NT drama we got in the name of MS.
Anyway, I hope they they have something good in store for us. I want to see Omkara's love-hate relationship, conflicting emotions, and then finally see him falling for Gauri-the O'Bros way of falling in love-like Annika said, lol. Don't want them to rush the story in their attempt to sync both shows.
