Shiva 'The Chattan' Pandya, however hard exterior he puts up in front of the world, is a softie at heart for the people he loves. He can endure anything but not seeing his loved ones in pain or hurt. He is terrified even at thought of losing them. That fear is there even at the thought of his Dhara bhabhi leaving the house or going away BUT his fear is at it's gravest at the thought of losing his mami ki behen ki beti, which we saw today. This is his biggest vulnerability which he hides from everyone.
He says that he hates her, fights with her day and night but the fact is that his world revolves around her. He doing her 'hifazat' or thinking that her safety is his duty, is not a recent phenomenon just because he promised his mother to do so or apparently this girl is his wife now. He has always taken upon himself to make sure that she is alright.
I was just watching videos from the older episodes before the wedding, and came to this realization that he has always made it a point that nothing but his words could hit her.
What prompted him to go and check upon her on the highway where she'd gone to jump before a truck, which apparently he himself had suggested?!
How in a fit of anger as wel he was the one to spot the piece of broken matka flying towards her and not letting it even touch her?!
His protective instinct has always been towards her just that he cannot show it, afterall, she is related to his maami. He went on to save her from the suicide attempt as well without giving a second thought and at that time too he was not related to her in anyway nor was he bound by any promise. One would say that any person would do that for tge sake of humanity but not all would go as numb as him right?
Today, once again he encountered his biggest fear of " losing her". He can bear anything but not going away from her. He can be bickering, fighting with her all his life and be fine with it, but the mere thought of not being with her breaks him, and that we saw in his desparation to keep her awake today and how afraid he was when she said " aaj pahunch jaaungi" .
Shiva doesn't like to express his vulnerabilities to anyone, not even Gaura as it probably makes him feel weak. He is the kind of person who doesn't like himself or his feelings to be a point of discussion. That is the reason why I feel that he will slip back into his cocoon and mask up his hard exterior once again after all this is over, hiding his vulnerability and insecurity.
Raavi will have a lot of work to do now to break that shell of his, which I believe she will do because she now accept his care wholeheartedly. It will be interesting to see Raavi taking baby steps towards him now on.
And now I see that this has turned out to be a relatively long post than I thought it to be, just my random thoughts. Hope you like reading it!❤
