Second that. Watching a show should be because of all aspects, good storyline, good actors, good editing, costumes. I like ShiVI as much as the next person but there is no way I can watch them if the storyline doesn't work for me. The only reason I have still stuck to this for over the 100 episodes is actually because of the interwoven stories of all the brothers. I am a sucker for Hum saath saath hai vibes and for now this fulfills it, otherwise I have stopped watching multiple shows once I no longer agree with the show. If I'm spending my time on something it has to be worth my while.

My journey into this show, and here on IF, was that I initially watched Pandya Store to see how ShiVi would be handled. I loved the growth and progression of the couple in the original, and I wanted to see what Star Plus would've changed/kept. When I noticed that ShiVi shared a deep childhood relationship with nok-jhoks, I began to watch a little more because I like watching fun stuff like that.
But even that wasn't what kept me in the show. It was actually seeing the brothers' bond with GauRa. That was just something that was so beautiful. Words couldn't explain my emotions when I saw the first YKB when the brothers celebrated GauRa's anniversary and all danced .Their relationship was pure. There didn't seem to be a power struggle. Everyone was loved and respected. It set the tone for the perfect show, especially since GauRa was closer in age to the brothers than the original.
In all honesty, despite being a ShiVi fan, my all time favorite scene was post-kidnapping where Shiva was standing angrily against the wall thinking Janardhan was off too easily. Gaumbi quickly supported his brother and told him they could go beat Janardhan up, but Dhara was the voice of reason that day. I loved how they solved that conflict together. I loved how they held hands and hugged each other, and I desperately wanted Raavi to be a part of this in the future. That scene holds such a deep place in my heart that so far no ShiVi scene has been able to surpass it.
But now, with the change of events, I don't think I can appreciate GauRa trying to mediate in any of the couples' relationships. They have a long way to go in terms of redemption in my eyes. But, if the show continuously tries to shove me "Elders are always right" I think I may just move on. I don't think KD, Alice, or ShiVi can keep me anymore.
