Ooh I can see some were abit disappointed with the way Shiva and Dev's convo went. I personally enjoyed it. Dev was about to turn away because he couldn't face Shiva, but now we know Dev did feel bad, hejust couldn't express it. I kinda liked that Shiva stopped Dev because he looked upset, he can really read his family well. Despite being upset with Dev it still matters to him if he's upset. Dev hugging Shiva in response was fine by me, he looked like a baby that didn't know what to say but wanted the warmth of his brother. With each other they can probably feel way more than words can express anyway. It was really cute.
Despite the hug a sorry was still needed, nothing would be normal for Shiva without it...and it came. Even when he was apologising, Shiva was rubbing his back, he looked relieved and accepted it there and then. Shiva just wanted a sorry, an acknowledgement, if Dev tried to say more I reckon Shiva would've stopped him. Shiva hates overemotional situations, because his emotional side comes out. Shiva himself didn't want that hence why he told Dev to let go. Notice how Shiva's response was to start joking about, they went back to their comfort level straight away. I'm glad Dev cleared that he wanted to say sorry ages ago.
It seemed like Shiva just wanted his brother/his other partner in crime back. With that wedding fiasco, he lost his brother big time. He also opened up to Dev instantly even if it was for 5mins. He verbalised the fact that he feels bad for Raavi, admitting that he doesn't hate her...he hasn't even done that with Dhara and Gaumbi! Makes me think maybe Shiva just needed the friend in Dev and not just the brother. When Dev said his piece about looks are not as important compared to what's in the heart, I felt like he was bouncing off of what Shiva said previously. He didn't agree with what Shiva said, infact he was praising him. When Shiva said he loves Dev more, I think it was his way of saying 'bros for life.' It's like when he said to Krish remember before they are your bhabis we are your brothers...as if to say our relationship will always stay no matter what.
You could see how happy Shiva was to get his brother back. Look at how quickly he filled Dev in on the Krish love situation, and look at how they got together to make fun of him, even adding jokes about themselves.
Dev and Raavi would be a different story altogether, and rightfully so. Questions will need to be answered. It'll be interesting to see how Dev reacts to Shiva scaring Rishita. I'm not upset with Dev as much after the episode, but yes I'll stay wary because he can easily make more mistakes or go back to being a mute. Also I kinda agree with what some of you guys have said about the acting part...but I enjoyed it regardless ❤.
