I may be the only one with this opinion
Shiva’s ‘hatred’ doesn’t feel like hate in the true sense bec from post leap/ pre-wedding scenes, there appears to be some subtle fighting of mild attraction from his side, and he continued to build on this ‘hatred’ bec
1. She’s mami’s beti (so he has a valid reason to hate/‘had’ to hate, given the family history, how Mami continues to be non repent etc)
2. He is well aware of Raavi’s fondness for Dev (vs him 😆) maybe it was ego, misplaced notion of not wanting to look weak in love (not referring to sibling/parental kind love) that made his continue with his behavior
There have been several instances before the marriage when he catches/ stops himself being lost in the moment - during the pulling, touching, catching scenes. His rants are typically ‘not going to let you marry Dev, become Dev’s wife...’
3. Which is the most important reason - she was his soon to be sister in law (when no one knew abt Rishita’s existence). Showing hatred towards Raavi served HIM that constant reminder/restraint
His current unhappiness seems to stem more from the fact that SHE would have never willingly married him and that she is miserable abt being married to him ie he is unhappy bec she is unhappy. He seems more angry with Dev for hurting Raavi rather than abt ruining his life bec of a forced marriage
I could be wrong as I binge watched the serial and Hindi is not my native language
Nah, you’ve got it right. He said he hated her many times. I often wondered who was he trying to convince Raavi or himself. The sad part is that he was trying to convince himself but ended up convincing Raavi that he hates her. I’m going by today’s episode. Raavi now fully believes that he hates her.
