I feel like ShiVi’s relationship is slowly becoming shallow & it’s because of the writing... the acting is not the issue.

And its true especially from Raavi’s side. It’s more about nok jhoks and cutesy moments (which are fine in moderation) but they are missing the deep connection that was shown in the past. I’m not saying she has to love him or care for him. But whatever the case is, keep her consistent. Don’t throw these lollipops at the fans to keep them happy. It’s almost as if she doesn’t respect him but expects something from him.

She doesn’t respect him. Fine. Then start from there and slowly build up to a point where she does. Like I mentioned the other day, the tension between the two & Shiva’s hidden emotions drew me to ShiVi, along with the complexity in their relationship. Hope the writers realize that and build on it. I rather get meaningful scenes of other characters rather than scenes of ShiVi that serve no purpose. And if they can’t fix it, don’t mess up what’s already there (case in point Raavi’s dialogue today).

The most beautiful part of this show was discerning whether Shiva had feelings for Raavi and whether Raavi cared more for Shiva than she ever did for Dev and was just blinded. All those scenes pre-marriage, where she put the haldi first on Shiva, where she looked towards Shiva during her wedding, where she essentially said she'll "correct" Shiva with her love... those scenes were so heartwarming as it portrayed two childhood frenemies who felt something more.

My favorite ShiVi scene so far was during the bus ride where Dhara makes Raavi reveal to the audience that she cared about Shiva's hunger in her childhood. I don't know why we can't get more such scenes of the two of them. I also don't know why a single abandonment episode has made her forget the years of memories she's had with the guy. If she truly didn't care about Shiva, then she wouldn't have called him over during the mehendi ceremony, she wouldn't have started her haldi ceremony with him, etc.

Fanfiction writers have been doing better at exploring this unique relationship these two have. Maybe they are reserving this mature conversation for when Suman comes, because only she can move things forward. But even then, I'm wondering how I'll enjoy it especially after knowing that the two of them essentially have hit rock bottom. I know romance doesn't happen in a day, but for any relationship, basic trust must exist. And both of them need to fix this. Raavi needs to trust her husband, and Shiva needs to stop the anger he gets when he's with her.

I feel so bad!! They wasted such an amazing couple "Shivi" to glorify the other two couples in the show. I seriously wish AliKan were cast in another show that truly exploited their true potential. It feels bad that both of them are trying to keep fans happy with offscreen pics but writers are hell bent on screwing them up onscreen😭

Okay everyone...off to work now...

will see you all tomorrow at 6 am expecting another shivi scene😆

Sorry for the rants today...i have posted so much today..kinldy bear with me

I really hope the writers take all this negative feedback into account and do some damage control, and character redemption!

Hoping for better tracks after this Pooja is over

On a positive note, Krish actually had some one liners which had me chuckling despite myself. Krish is the only remaining PS member whose character has’nt been screwed with. Hope he continues to this lovable and funny ❤️

We all are in the same boat with our excess ranting 😆

@bold: jitni bhi maar kha lo, hum log sudhrenge nahi 🤣

Just watched the beating clips and I understand the backlash and contrasting views now.

Keeping aside the absurdity of the argument that b/c Dhara is bhabhimaa, she is ALLOWED to beat them, would people have the same reaction if the genders were reversed? If a DAD was seen hitting his daughters? Would people still justify it?

Or is the justification happening BECAUSE she is the female lead and considered a positive character. I guess I don't understand why everyone is put on a pedestal? How is itna maarna ke lakdi toot jaaye still considered teaching a lesson?

Also, do people actually believe that maar ne se dono sudhar jaenge? Perhaps for a young and impressionable mind as Krish, woh DAR ke aage se kuch naa kare...but for a strong-willed person like Shiva, its completely absurd to believe, even for a second, ki woh badal jaaenge. That suddenly the pain, and guilt wrt Dhara, will become the triggers for them to start respecting Rishita.

But I guess this entire episode is supposed to be absurd and irrational and trp bait smh. I’ll happily continue watching the trip beginning… tho I should probably slow down.

I don’t know... a part of me is dreading the next ShiVi scene 😆 I don’t want Raavi to say some mean (maybe without meaning to) to Shiva. I wish she would put everything aside and be kind & compassionate. And he would meet her half way and have a talk. Maybe even tell her that she has no reason to feel as if she’s responsible for him. That they can share tasks and try to work together for the family.

Yeh kya episode mila 🤢

Dev koi baat mein nahi aata par aaj ointment lagane aa gaya 😡

No Shivi
