I usually do not watch indian tv, mostly just watch one track at the beginning then completely forget the show.
PS is different for me because of how much I connect with Shiva, and how much of my mom I see in Raavi. Now I am addicted to this couple.
I am like Shiva completely, from the anger issues to the person that will go to the ends of world for family. My mom is like Raavi in terms of forgiving easily, there has only been 1 person she has not forgiven in 57 years. But she is not a airhead like Raavi, rather she is very intelligent and perceptive.
Now coming to the point why I am addicted to Shivi, my parents marriage was also a forced marriage centred around hate for each other and each other's family. My paternal grandmother has always hated my maternal grandmother from childhood and she instilled that hatred into my father. My mom was originally engaged to someone else, sadly he died on their wedding day (my mom was literally getting her makeup done when she heard about his passing). My mother never really recovered from that, she only shared this with me a few months ago when I got engaged. She said after his death, she lost that excitement regarding marriage and life, she knew my dad and his family hated her and she had no hope for the future, she just compromised because life had already dealt her blow that she never recovered from. Though I was angry with Raavi for using the word compromise, the scene brought back what my mom told me. Raavi must have also lost that excitement and hope regarding marriage and life especially after parents death, being dumped at the altar and marrying someone who hates her. She also does not hope of a normal marriage so she is compromising with her situation.
Before anyone asks how my parents got married, it was political alliance between my great grandfathers, both were very high ranking politicians, so the marriage was an alliance between two political parties and village tribes.
When I see Shivi on screen right now, I see my parents for the last 30 years. The only difference is that my dad never loved/liked my mom, he was in love with a Russian girl. A happy ending for Shivi is like an AU for my parents.
Shivi storyline is beautiful if the writers actually write a proper story. It has so much potential but cvs are busy showing chewing gum nonsense.
Anyway don't know why I am sharing this but reading all the post in the last few weeks have made me look at my parents relationship a little differently and their story has made connect with Shiva and Raavi in a very deep spiritual level.
