Quick question (although one should never ask those then it comes to ITV😆): Why did the receipts have names on them? The jewelry pieces were not engraved. Shouldn’t it just be one receipt that belongs in Gaumbi’s pocket and not inside the gift box? I’m not from India but I’m guessing shops have similar rules all around. It didn’t make much sense to me 😆

People maintain jewellery receipts, not sure why. I’m guessing income taxes. But I know that at airports sometimes the customs people ask to see receipts, especially when you’re carrying gold in your bags.

That’s probably why separate receipts in both their names.
the jeweller must have misplaced both in the same box 🤣

salesperson mistake probably lol maybe the chain had a tag and according to receipt that one was weighing less but wouldnt that cost less too lol

Except Gautam, everyone else is hurt 😮

And this is the first show that has realistic looking clothes for a middle class family running just a provisions store 🤣🤣

@Makers, it’s okay if they wear better clothes, we promise not to complain 😂

oh no did dhara beat all three up now lol

I think one of the biggest issues right now is the timeline. It’s only been a week but watching the show makes it seems like it’s been weeks. Dev & Raavi behaving so normally around each other just seems off. I understand they grew up together but what happened at the mandap was no joke. I even understand Raavi trying to move on but it’s happening too quickly (as per show timeline). I think that is also affecting ShiVi, almost making their love story too easy and convenient (for the sake of family, for the sake of Dhara, etc...)

I know we can’t discuss other shows so I’ll give vague examples. There are two shows from the ones I’ve watched where the FL gets married to the ML despite having something spark with a bro or cousin. In the first case, it was pretty clear only the bro liked her. The FL just saw him as a friend and all her anger, hatred and emotions were for the ML. So once they got married, there was no moving on to do (except for the bro who did so gracefully).

The second example showed the FL having feelings for the ML’s cousin. She met him first and they dated for a short period of time. She did believe herself to feel something similar to love for him but there was no intensity. They were to be married and things changed the last minute. She was hurt but there was a process to her moving on. Throughout, it became clear that she didn’t truly love him. There was no question of loving the ML during that journey and they didn’t share much nok jhoks. The ML was more of a friend & silent lover.

But in the case of PS, Raavi has had feelings for Dev for 10 years. Yes we may call it infatuation, mild obsession, etc... but for her it was strong enough where she wanted to marry him. And strong enough where she completely overlooked the sparks between her & Shiva all these years. In the pre-wedding scenes, we see only Shiva being affected (mostly). All this was very real for Raavi.

Therefore, the moving on process will take time. Healing will take time. And I’m sure even on the show, she has a long way to go. They just wanted to snap her out of her pity which is understandable. The problem is her and Dev not coming face to face & the scenes following her realization. I wish they showed Raavi faltering at times and trying to catch herself. For her to feel awkward and to recall old memories. There was the brief ointment scene but that’s it. Instead the two are present in family scenes & are expected to behave normally. The days are dragging on and by the time they address all this, will it even matter? The tension post the wedding & kidnap drama is coming down. And it’s only been a week in their time. The more they normalize their relationship, the less impactful a future confrontation or even conversation will be.

Coming to ShiVi, there are a few external factors that add complexity to their relationship. One being Raavi’s feelings for Dev. By making it appear as if it was never that important in the first place, they are stripping a layer & discarding it when it could have added so much substance & emotion to the story. Like that small scene of Shiva looking at the gift meant for Dev. It was so so beautiful Timing is super important and if they keep dragging, by the time they bring all this back, it really won’t matter as much (at least to us).

Another layer of complexity is Maami. Yes, she just came to the haveli but they need to bring her and Shiva face to face. Raavi’s association with Maami impacts her equation with Shiva & evokes strong emotions from him. I feel like a part of him feels guilty for having such strong feelings for MaamiKiBehenKiBeti. Feelings that don’t go away. Case in point, that scene where he hugs Dhara and feels bad he couldn’t protect her. His emotions were intensified post seeing Raavi. The longer they wait and drag, the more chances they miss.

Of course the meatiest part of their story is their childhood and I strongly believe Shiva has had feelings for Raavi since a very long time. If they settle for the two falling in love just because they are married with little or no reference to the past, the writers will be losing one hell of a story, one with immense potential.

Super long post but I honestly feel like the spark between ShiVi (as mentioned by other members as well) is losing its strength and while the actors have chemistry, it’s not being fully utilized on screen. Covid has affected so much but I see no reason for not writing a better story (given the wonderful cast and location). The tension and electrifying energy between the two is coming down and it’s very evident. Tbh, I don’t want them to fall in love anytime soon. There are so many other emotions to explore. I know most of this was already discussed but I wanted to put forth some recent observations. Once that tension and intensity is gone, it honestly doesn’t come back no matter how much the writers and actors try. It’ll be a shame if that’s what happens here. Anyway not a very well articulated post since it’s super early here & I’m super tired 😆 haha but hope it makes sense. ❤️

It’d be so funny if the wives gang up on the husbands and bash them 🤣

That makes sense I guess, especially if it’s an expensive piece. But why did the receipts have Rishita & Raavi’s names on them? Isn’t Gaumbi the one buying so shouldn’t he be the one holding on to the actual receipts & maybe giving the two ladies gift receipts. I’m probably over thinking it now 🤣 the jeweler should have given in to Gaumbi and let him handle his ghar ka mamla 😆

can anything be explained in such a true manner....I don't think so....I read in and every word and agree to it.....they are not thinking about how much time has passed, what feelings they harbor for each other for one another.....dynamics have changed totally and they need to give time.....

the scene u explained was beautiful.....

thanks for writing this

Urgh please, this is more than articulate! This is everything I've been feeling and wanting to shout in the writers' faces, thank you for penning it all down so concisely. Do post this in the main forum ❤️

Awww, one of the reasons that I am still sticking to the show. Love the brothers bond on-screen as well as off-screen😃

P.S: I like Dev’s chemistry with the brothers more than DevTa😆
