Yes, I could also see where Pinky's jealousy was coming from. She literally saw herself in Anika. Anika was her - except that Anika could make the kind of place in Shivaay's life that she could not seem to. Her feelings were made to show in a way where even though it was a typical saas-bahu trope, you could empathize with her. But then they had to throw it all away and low-key also made her misuse her love for Shivaay there too. Glad she paid the price too. Not just by Shivaay but also with the whole family giving her the cold shoulder. Shivaay grew a lot through that experience too. The FFs had such wonderful alternate arcs to Anika-Pinky though.
After ShiviKa, Rudra-Saumya were my favs. So safe to say, I was bitter and pissed when they sank the ship. Instead turned Sumo over to the dark side. The whole sisters out to revenge (with the thing they did with their hands 🤣) became too much. I hate it when the writers forego their own initial writing and gloss it over to make new connections. So glad I am not the only one who was mad.
I felt bad for the Om fans, him and his love story were just not that explored. When it did, they kinda turned him into a Shivaay 2.0 during DBO ... heck they even did it with Rudra at some point too. But the relationship all of them shared with Anika was adorable.
This is fast becoming an IB chat thread.
I too want to reply to this but like Dhairya, might wait until we get a chat club 😆 otherwise everyone else is gonna hate us for turning this into an IB-fest 🤣 (but sooooo much to say!)
