Personally, I don’t mind Dev & Raavi flashbacks or even upcoming scenes. He was an important chapter in Raavi’s life that needs to be explored. Not to mention the fact that he did play a role in ShiVi’s dynamic growing up. If Maami is a key player, so is Dev.
And I would take Dev over a creepy forced third angle any day. Dev truly cares for Raavi and loves Shiva a lot. He wants the best for both. But nothing changes the fact that Raavi did have feelings for Dev.
This would be an excellent opportunity to show both the audience and Raavi, what their past looks like without the tinted glasses worn by the Raavi in love with Dev. It’ll give them a chance to show the more meaningful interactions between ShiVi that has taken place over the years and create a contrast with the more friendly Dev-Raavi ones. Scenes that leave so much open to interpretation. And ones that help progress their story. A huge step of ShiVi moving forward is addressing this Dev issue.
I had mentioned in a post a while back. There are three bridges to cross here. Maami, Dev and their childhood. Maami is not done but somehow we have seen Shiva learn to disassociate Raavi with Maami. Even his MKBKB has a different tone these days.
The next bridge is Dev. And I’m excited to see this one! I hope we see some burning flashbacks from Shiva’s side and ones of realization from Raavi’s.If the writers are indeed off of YKB nasha, they should realize the potential this track has, especially if they bring in the sibling rivalry as well.
I can potentially see some ShiVi fans not enjoying the Dev-Raavi scenes, but remember nothing is above the story. And I don’t see ShiVi’s story reaching the next stage without Dev being a part of it. The only way that will happen is if they forget their entire history and decide to follow GauRa’s footsteps. And that would in essence destroy ShiVi 😆Ahhh I’m so excited at the thought of flashbacks. But I know better than to hope 😆 Lets see what they have in mind for us 😆
Edit: I personally think Alice & Akshay have good screen presence together. I loved the Mujhse Dosti Karoge more than any other scene recently. She draws a better performance from him. And they have a warm vibe. Just like how I enjoy Shiva-Rishita. I think for a show with an ensemble cast, it’s so important to explore dynamics. ITV falls short here. I’m still waiting for my Gaumbi-Raavi scenes! Maybe even Choti Raavi & Gaumbi scenes ❤️
yes yes yes this!!
in fact, I don't mind dev-raavi scenes where it clearly shows why she picked him and fell in love with him as opposed to shiva so he would understand why the dynamics were the way they were
even though I love a good jealously track myself and am hoping for it, more than that I want this dev-raavi-shiva track to really delve into their childhood and show us why each of them acted and reacted they way they did over the years
we've scene a lot of childhood scenes of dev sticking up for raavi to shiva and I would love to see a continuation of it
maybe a few scenes from the their teenage years as well?
I think this could be a very good and interesting track as well!
