I think it will be more about how his family has been hurt time and again by Miami.
How he hated her for being just born in Maami’s family.
My wishful thinking is that of Raavi, how everyone calls him naukar like whatever, and when she lashes out. He asks her:
“Will it make a difference if he changes his clothes, behaves like a gentleman, will he become like others? Will he become Dev like she ever wanted in her life? Will he become Dev, and will she start loving him?
Oh, my wishful thinking! 😆
Strangely enough, in the past 2 days of my disappearance, when I wasn't on my fav, guilt pleasure site, Tumblr, I was looking up stories of Shiva-Parvati, and realized just how many references the show has made to Mahadev and Shiva.
Mahadev, as Shiva is portrayed on PS, did not care for material pleasures. He lived in his own comfort, and he was also one of the most benevolent gods. What I loved most about Mahadev's story was how he fell in love with Parvati for her perseverance and not for her physical beauty, and I am hoping Shiva falls in love with her personality and perseverance rather than her cute, outwardly appearance (the show is already doing this by showing his "proud" looks)
As for @bold, I'm certainly confident a discussion like that would come between them, and soon now that Maami's conversation happened. However, her initial answer might not be something we would like to hear. Raavi loved Dev for very, very superficial reasons. So I wouldn't doubt she would say something like, "YES!! Your clothes do matter. Your junglee attitude does matter!" initially. Their recent NDE experience is Raavi's first glimpse into Shiva's true personality. If she fell in love with him that easily, where would the fun be?
She needs several more examples and encounters of Shiva's love. She needs to see that Shiva will do anything for the people that he loves, not just her. She needs to see that Shiva is willing to give up everything for the people that he loves. And she needs to see that Shiva is one of the most patient, attentive souls there is who also has sound advice (His advice for Dev pre-marriage track was a glimpse of this for the audience, but now she needs to personally see this) And she needs to see that underneath everything, he is also a fun and enjoyable person.
