Loved the episode today! It was wholesome. First, loved that albeit dejectedly, Raavi's accepted the reality that Dev can never be hers. Her dialogue about rejecting Dev even if he agrees and not forcing herself in his life was powerful- especially, coming from her in her current state of mind.
Second, loved GauRa. Love how they are pillars for each other and gain strength from each other in difficult times. For this quality of them, I was shocked that Gombhi didn't utter any words in yesterday's episode in Dhara's defense. So needless to say that I was glad to see him in action and defending Dhara by clarifying everything to the family. And I hope Suman can see that this time, her two sons were at fault. I wonder if that relief at the end of her scene was because she forgave Dhara when Shiva said yes to the proposal, or whether she felt bad for Shiva trying to clean the mess Dev created. Guess coming episodes will tell. I was loving their new equation, so hope it doesn't go back to the old one.
And of course, Dhara and Shiva deserves the best Devar-Bhabhi award. The respect he has for Dhara is unbelievable and praiseworthy. He didn't even flinch or ask any questions before agreeing to Dhara's request. The man, is man of his words. If he can love his Bhabhi to this extent, what will he do for Raavi once he falls in love? No harm can come her way! Can't wait for the day she's added to that list in his life! Though I must admit, I was taken aback that he referred to Raavi as MamiKiBehenKiBeti with a hint of harshness. Not sure if that anger was directed at the situation as he never expected this turn of events. However, that's the only explanation I could find because it's hard to imagine him still harboring anger for Raavi after what just happened.
Also, loved the way Dhara put forth Shiva's proposal. Lol, maybe my heart's looking into this way too much, but when she asked "Raavi, mere Shiva ki Gauri banegi?" I took that as a metaphor for the beautiful journey that lays ahead. Dhara may not be able to write Shiva's name in her heart, but Shiva will heal it and manage to write his name as well in the process. ❤️
And my favorite, the precap. It's going to be an uphill battle for both, especially Raavi. She threw the sindoor away. Albeit arranged, will she accept that she's married to Shiva in the near future?
