Its Shiva-Suman for me.
Its very special bond. how they eye co-ordinate to trouble maami (both pre and post leap). and the recent kangan kand. that scene was so beautiful when he makes her wear those kangans
I like their scenes as well. We can clearly see Suman loves Shiva and Gautam more than Krish and Dev😆
Thanks for participating😃
My vote hands down to Shiva and Dhara. This is one of purest bonds in the show and it was pre leap Shiva Dhara bond was one of the reasons I started watching the show❤️
I am so happy we are getting back the pure bond of them back❤️

Priya, thanks for participating! Shiva-Dhara bonding is indeed pure!❤️
As much as I find Shiva's bond with Rishita hilarious, I absolutely adore Shiva's bond with Krish no questions asked. The way our Krishu looks up to his Shiva is just ❤. Baby bro being protective of our gadhera is simply precious. I love both my sweet baby angels.

Thank you participating! They are my choice as well.... both look out for each other❤️
Thank you for the tag Prema! 🤗 lovely poll, Shiva is the one character who has a unique relationship with all other characters in the show
I'm torn between ShiSh, shiva-dhara and Shiva-suman.. three of my fav relationships in the show! Especially dhara's love for Shiva in the past 2 episodes and krish's concern for Shiva today after knowing about jaanu were so lovely to watch
And of course suman's extra love for Shiva a little more than her other sons 😆
I ended up voting for Shiva-suman though since they are in a minority 😆

Aaliya, thank you for participating! 🤗 I like Shiva-Suman bond as well. As you said Shiva shares a great/unique relationship with other characters of this show. I think he is the only one who is part of everybody’s life, hence this poll. We always discuss in the EDT that of all her sons Suman likes Shiva the most😆
So its Shiva-Gautam for me
Shocking, I know. I am probably the only one.😆
Of course, I love Shiva-Krish, Shiva-Dhara and Shiva- Suman bond too. But somehow, just like others have a soft spot for these three, I have a soft spot for Shiva-Gautam.
I seldom get a chance to have discussions on the forum, hence I have been unable to tell how much I love Gautam's character. I acknowledge that both Dhara and Gautam made sacrifices for the three kids, but I feel Dhara is acknowledged more than Gautam. Of course, I might have just missed those posts, if that's the case then that's completely on me.
Gautam was all of 22 years, when he had to just grow up. His youth got lost somewhere behind his responsibilities. He was a bright student, who had ambitions. But his life turned upside down with his father dead and mother paralysed. The responsibility of earning and looking after the whole family fell on his young shoulders. I just loved how he didn't want to marry Anita simply because he knew she would get no happiness from this relationship, instead she will only get responsibilities. Its others who convince him that Anita fully knows his conditions and yet willing to marry him. When the store was in debt, I can't imagine the pressure he must have felt. His father has died, mother is bedridden, he has to take care of an ill mother and three brothers who are still kids. His store is in debt, which was his father's dream, his means of livelihoood was lost that time. His mother and brothers were in no position to help him. The only support he had that time, was Hardik and Dhara.
To me, it seems Shiva was the one who was most impacted by Gaumbi's pain(Strictly my opinion). He wanted to leave his education and help Gauambi at the store, by carrying sacks. Why? Simply because the marks on Gaumbi's back haunted him. Despite being so young, he seemed to understand Gautam's loss of youth, loss of independence, the responsibilities and pressure. After growing up, he single-handedly took it upon himself to do all the physical tasks at the store, so his brothers, both Gautam and Dev, don't have to hurt their backs. GauRa's talk with Shiva at the night of his wedding, and recently, Gautam's concern for Shiva when he found out he has mortgaged the land, are some of my personal favourites.
Interesting poll btw😆👍🏼

Thank you so much for participating! I loved your explanation about why you chose Shiva-Gautam. I agree to everything you said. Shiva at a tender age, wanted to help his older brother who himself was in the 20s burdened with taking over the family, business, a sick mother, 3 little brothers after their father's death. As you said not many talk about Gautam's sacrifices like Dhara's.
I am glad you could participate and share your thoughts with us. It is good hear others perspectives and thoughts. I am also glad that you found this poll interesting. These days I seldom write a post in the MF as I spend a lot of time in the EDT discussing the episodes and the characters. But this poll has been in the back of my mind for some days and if you see Shiva has become integral part of everybody's life, hence finally I decided to come out of my hiatus of not creating a post in the MF😃
I voted for the Shiva and Gautam bond, but it's close to my love for Shiva- Dhara and Shiva - Suman bond.
I know hedwig_potter has said most of the points i want to but I'd want to add, not only is Shiva's concern for Gautam the most endearing, but we see the same level of concern from Gautam as well. Time and again, we'll see Gautam asking for Shiva and I personally feel it's not only because Shiva has the most volatile temperament, rather he knows of Shiva's love for the family. Gautam is more relaxed when it comes to Dev and Krish compared to with Shiva.
