The whole scene starting from Gautam Raavi to all the brothers bonding and finally Shiva feeling dejected! I loved the whole sequence of events leading to the meltdown of Shiva. š
Raavi is so excited to choose for the brothers. The way she said yeh colour to Dev ka colour hai She knows all of them so well! But, Shiva ko exclusivity chahiye š
I like her smile! She was always this happy around the brothers, including Dev. She used to blush around him a lot; nowadays, it's more friendly and comfortable! She has moved on long back!
She is really happy with her selection. She has found her peace with Dev long back! Forgiven and forgotten with no malice!
Awww, it breaks my heart to see the pattern! Shiva, right from childhood, gets ticked off by Raavi dissing him or preferring Dev before him.
I am sure most of you must be wondering whether Shiva is actually jealous of Dev, or mistrusts Raavi. I think there is a hint of jealousy which is very subtle with the undertones of sibling rivalry.
The hurt is more towards Ravi. If you notice that this hurt has begun ever since her birthday. Her birthday was the day when Dev had initiated their friendship again, and Ravi was smiling ear to ear.
If you notice apart from her birthday she hasnāt smiled this much, or whenever she is around Dev she is beaming. This happens in the case with all the brothers or everyone else too. With Shiva, she is cautious and doesnāt laugh wholeheartedly. He might be misunderstanding this smile, and happiness to be her unavailability towards him emotionally mentally and physically.
I see the pattern there; Shiva has started getting jittery ever since their mutual peace with each other. Before, Raavi-Dev friendship reunion, Shiva had that exclusivity with her. Dev wasn't present in their equation. By making Dev enter the peaceful friendship again, there's a hint of jealousy like it was always there. He thinks after rereading the diary that Raavi wants to be with him because he is her husband now and not because she wants or likes him. Her disgust towards Shiva was read in explicit details in her diary. She had said that he is so dirty and smelly that despite soaking him overnight in Surf Detergent, the smell won't go!
How does one recover from that?
I have already said My previous post about how Shiva craves for her acceptance not only as a husband but someone special to her. Thereās a hint of anticipation, curiosity and buildup only to be crushed bye Raviās denial in front of everyone.
I love the look on his face. Itās as if a long lost child is looking for some comfort.
Ravi being a complete Dobi, denies The hero rights to Shivaš Funny to note that she herself addresses him as hero, but when Krish points it out, she is clearly embarrassed. This is more like a teen denying her high school crush.š
Hero is clearly very angry at not being called her hero.
Ha ha! I so love the look he gives her. Itās almost like he is questioning her about her denial.
Main tera hero kyun nahi hun š
Coming to my most favourite parts, very high on symbolism, and also giving us a glimpse of what is going to happen in future. While whatever transpires amongst the brothers in the same letter is very much in sync with all their childhood memories, the dynamics between Shiva Ravi and Dave are exactly as they should have been throughout all these years. She was reaction is also exactly similar to He would do as a child.
For her hero, Raavi chose a plain boring old school shirt, which Krish says itās disgusting. It shows how Raavi lacks a complete non-perception about Shivaās real personality which is not only flamboyant but colourful. The shirt is plain Vanilla like she had reaction towards him throughout these years
Dev extending his own shirt and Shiva reflexively grabbing it is so symbolic, profound and bothering at the same time. This could refer to as Dev passing on his love to Shiva, and Shiva trying to make himself worthy of the love.
It could also possibly reflect how siblings would pass on their older clothes to the other one. This one could be heartbreaking because no matter how much you love your brother, the last thing on earth that anyone could want would be his spouse who was about to get married to his brother and lived with the thought of kissing him.
It could be heartbreaking for anyone, and given the rich history both Ravi and Shiva share, no wonder It's blinding Shiva from moving ahead.
Raavi trying to fit him in Devās colours or a passed on shirt is bothering Shiva. Raaviās innocence is misconstrued by Shiva. The problem has been that both Shiva and Ravi have been mentally in a parallel relationship with each other belonging to a universe of assumptions & prejudice! It's a quagmire and tangled web of conflicts. Sigh!!! I wish any of the brothers saw this complexity between them.
I like the frame in which the brothers look at each other being a party to the bthe banter of Shiva and Raavi š
They gave me inka kuch nahi ho sakta vibes š¤£
Raavi and her Nautanki š¤£When she said no, Shiva probably perceived that he could never look as good as Dev in this colour. Ahhh! The angst š¤£
Raavi mimicking Shiva š¤£š¤£
Chipkali š
Owwww! She touched her cheeks and jawline just as Shiva would, trying to control his urge to touch her š
This is heartbreaking šI am sure we are all left wondering why does Raaviās laughter bother him so much whereas the whole world calling him names doesnāt. If you go back, there was a truck driver who called him a servant, and Shiva was laughing about it.
Similarly, even if the brothers make fun of him, he barely cares. But, right from the childhood, you would see that Raaviās dismissal of him, her disgust for him, and she being all moony eyed about Dev bothers him a lot.
I was wondering whether itās his insecurity or jealousy! But, I believe it's a pure hint of jealousy too! It reminds me of Noah being extremely troubled by the world of Elle-Lee! This is the Kissing Booth reference!
Shiva was never included in Raaviās dream world with Dev! I guess maybe he wanted him to be the centre of her universe like she was his! Subconsciously, he craves the exclusivity between him and Raavi! I would love it if, one fine day, Shiva blurts out that he can't share her with anyone! Sigh š¤
This is beautiful T ā£ļøā£ļø
Now when I look back at this week's episode, I find that they have kept the Dev-shiva-raavi conflict intact somehow.
The subtle scenes where he listens to the Rishita, raavi convo.yesterdays scene.
I think he does not have a problem with Dev now
he has a problem with their rich history, that's why the mention of Dev from raavi's mouth triggers him, seeing them together troubles him.its not exactly jealousy or mistrust,it's just hurt.there is too much baagage.
I also noticed how they are keeping Rishita away from all this.she is not there to notice when raavi gives dev tea, when she chooses a shirt for him.raavi and Dev are growing more comfortable with each other.
She has Given a hint of how she is jealous of raavi's childhood connection with Dev .
We may even see her insecurities resurfacing.
I guess it will be an area of conflict in the future.something dramatic like the angan kissing scene in the haveli, this time with shiva being a witness.
