And alice got scared for a sec with mohit's shrieking voice and is completely trying to ignore kanwar ke besuri aawaaz🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looks like Kanwar and Mohit are like Shiva and Krish in real life too, fun loving goof balls😆

Kanwar’s story yesterday had Shiny in a white saree so I guess there is another day between the pooja and bhoot track (which makes sense cuz I can’t imagine things to be normal the next morning). They are quite ahead in terms of filming. I hope someone notices the feedback and incorporates some changes into the storyline/presentation.

Alice is in a saree i guess in the BTS❤️

finally pooja started🥳

GauRa .....

They look lovely together!

And Dhara calls herself BhabiMaa😆

Finally the pooja has started. Here is my calculation😆

There are 15 days, lets say they show all 15 days of the pooja and 10 episodes for each like how PS makers have been doing, stretching each day, you are looking at 150 episodes and will take 6 months atleast to complete the pooja in real life🤣 Hope the makers prove me wrong😆

@Raingoddess just wanted to say you took everything out of my mouth over your last few posts in the EDT. Well articulated and I COMPLETELY agree.

Yes yes yes to the point about Shivi's missing UST. Where's the pull we saw even before they got married? Where's Shiva's ever-present intensity, that subtle emotion hidden in its depths? Everything was on point pre-marriage to the bonfire night. Remember how we all lauded how well they were using the location and how good the editing was? And then it went down this landslide. Urgh.

Shivi's equation took on a lot of angst and baggage after the wedding and while that was sad for us it made sense. On the trip to the haveli we got slight instances of them returning to their previous status quo, but with their new relationship and problems thrown in. That made sense too. The most beautiful and meaningful episode happened and then everything went down the drain. Until this longest-day-ever, all of their nokjhok had some meaning to it even if they got inserted simply as lollipops for the fans. After her chattan pandya moment, the intensity that always brewed between them is seen nowhere, and I totally blame the lazy writing. The actors are doing an amazing job, have good chemistry, they're on good terms so there's no other reason for it to suddenly suffer.

If they're trying to make up for the lack of something, this is not the way to do it. The makers and channel very well know they've got the golden goose with Shivi. They'd also be wise to realise WHY people came for them, because what we're getting with each episode is always a step away from what we've loved to see. Fine, you wanna stretch out the day? Atleast give them meaningful scenes instead of plopping them in for a few minutes just to appease all the fans.

Well once things get better, they have to return to Mumbai. I’m sure filming at the haveli is costly. I just hope they don’t take a sudden leap 😆 it’ll be better to show the 15 days in 30 or so episodes or skips a few days in between.

Dhara looks the same age (or even younger) as Shiva & Dev 😆 The Bhabhi Maa seems a bit much at times 😆

Kya iss mein Tortoise speed se compare karu .....🤪

DevTa ka romance + bgm song= torture 🤢

I AM COPY PASTING FROM FELICIE’s thread

Finally, I can get back to this post which is fantastic, full of perspective and different viewpoints.

Well, needless to say, that Shivi were the one who attracted me back to the show after Gaura’s Pyaar!

I didn't realise what attracted me towards Shivi, but I know why?

Let's address the reasons for the attraction between them and the strange tension that prevails in the atmosphere whenever they are around each other.

A. Anger, Arousal and a curious case of erotic rage.

Have you ever wondered why the World celebrates angry heroes in fantasies, and their fixation tropes are so popular not only in pop culture but any form of literature that revolved around romance?

The answer is pretty simple, which lies in introductory biology/Psychology. Did you know that the body physiology during anger mimics that of sexual arousal given the surge of adrenaline that has the same consequence when you are attracted to someone on a very primal level.

That's why you'd see most people who hate each other and consider themselves forbidden tend to have strange physical compatibility. Certain studies have revealed that people crave to remain closer physically to their object of hatred or anger. The touch gives them a sense of sanity amidst all those heightened rages that program their body for sexual intimacy.

It isn't effortless, but there are high chances that your brain is telling your body to react in a Certain way. It tells you are in a state of emergency to interact with your object of physically anger or hatred.

Now, I am sure; you'd understand the push-pull and madness between the two dorks. Shiva is involved more, given his fixation and channelising all his anger towards her. It's a very frustrating situation to be in! On the one hand, your brain tells you to feast on your object you hate and on the other, you look at the natural world around you. This chemistry is palpable between the both and exudes the obvious. So, the manhandling is more Shiva fighting his frustration than actually hating upon her.

B. Emotional Intimacy Vs Physical Compatibility

These stereotypical couples share strange physical compatibility rather than any form of emotional intimacy. That's why you'd see their pre-wedding scenes are fire as compared to the Post-wedding ones. There is a slow gracitational shift towards their journey of emotional Intimacy and Eventually, finding peace. If you see, Shiva’s emotional journey has started the moment he saw Raavi hanging from that noose.

Their blockage is not their physical familiarity; you'd slowly see Raavi getting physically attracted to him very quickly despite her hatred. Why? Simply because her object of fixation is now Shiva, too, unlike pre-wedding where she was in a La La Land with Dev. Her mind will soon burst into flames, given the level of anger she is harbouring for him. Such fire is frustrating and disruptive, given your body dancing on your head. Trust me; if she were half non-dissing towards Shiva post her wedding, it would have been a tornado for both of them together to act up on their already bottled up attraction coupled with rage.

Tables have turned a bit; as you can see, the frustration of Shiva is at ease now. Generally, men become subconsciously stable once they know that the woman belongs to them. Her heart might still be in her past, but Shiva knows that her physical being is around him and belongs to him only at a subconscious level.
Remember, the Haq and audacity with which he claims his rights to do things to her, and he’d kill anyone who claims a stake at his place. A classic case of territorial aggression against anyone who’d dare claim a physical space around her.

This is ITV and for Sanskaari Raavi, Dev should now be as good as a log of wood, so they aren't focussing much on that. Just go back to the strange glance of the kidnapping scene where Dev holds her shoulders and see Shiva’s expressions. Leave Raavi and Dev in some situation and then be ready to witness so Tandav by Shiva. Well, well, It's ITV

You'd now see Shiva pulling her in anger only when she withholds his physical dominance over her. But, Raavi’s frustrations are growing by the day.

Well, as much it sounds easy for Suhaag, Bindi and Sindoor to give them ‘Haq’ over each other, the challenge is not their marital status; the cacophony of their craziness is a lot to deal with.

They are compatible physically in a crazy way, but their journey towards emotional intimacy is a very long one!! Hence, their gradual transformation is a slow burn than their instant compatibility.

C. Dominance, Challenge and Aggression

Hate or anger also triggers a flight or fight response in people. You'd see, in most of the scenes pre-wedding, Shiva is either shirking her away or towering her with his ‘Sher jaisi Badi Ankhein’ as pointed out by Raavi

It's all about dominance, then! The game of who opposes the enemy better. That's why you'd see them challenging each other most of the time. Like Raavi admiring how sensuous Shiva looks in his shirt and then immediately trying to tell him through her eyes that she looks better.

There is a whole exciting dynamics that could have been explored had this been a web show. But, sadly this is the Pandya store-TRP run show. Haha! Wait, till Sindoor Dhaga etc become their basis of union.

Well, that's it for now from my side.
P.S- This looks like a freaking college essay
