They both had so much potential of being friends unlike the two snails Dev and Raavi!
Unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it's a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them.Dreams for an Insomniac
Both Dev and Raavi can play compromise compromise and sleep all day!
They had so much potential! A complete riot! I want them to aag lagaao all of Somnath out of frustration from living with their forever sleeping partners 🤣

Aww thank you 🤗 as much as I think it’ll be interesting to read a story on them, I don’t think I can write one 😆 plus I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable. This is just an AU discussion. Can’t imagine them together on the actual show cuz they are BIL and SIL (tho SP will be super happy 🤣)
But thanks again for this comment ❤️
Maybe you can write outside the forum and PM us 🤣
Honestly, all I want is Raavi to get a little bit of spunk and stand up to her friends. I'll be team ShiVi again- I don't even want her to fall in love.
In real life, we might not really get someone completely compatible with us, and we need to work towards understanding and accepting another person's point of view. Couples generally grow together and change together(their views also might change depending on life events)
Huh, this discussion has made me realize that Raavi is not as vapid and self absorbed as I thought 🤔 Dev in fact was a more sensible choice for her, compatibility wise, and at the very least she would have been comfortable in the marriage, if not happy 🧐
Ohh I am too tired to even bash Anita. Some other day
Hii posting something I wrote in the EDT a couple of days ago.
Not sure if it’s the right post for this thread, do let me know!
It’s more of how I really wanted Gaura to help Shiva and how dissapointed am I that they dint do it and still continue to ignore it
Shiva being called jungi gawaar unpad has bothered me so much.
Why haven’t Gaura tried to explain to people in their family n around tat it’s wrong to call him that.
Whatever is Shiva’s reasoning for discontinuing his studies as parent figures they should have explained to him that:
1. Learning never ends, there is no age limit, he can always take it up later, if he discontinued coz of financial issues, tried to convince him to continue it later n checked in with him abt it periodically.
2.If he was not interested himself in studying further, helped him by giving him more options, maybe an internship at a bigger store, some correspondence courses, attending business management conferences where people interact, all these are more experiences rather than conventional college degrees and might have suited Shiva better!
3. Also they definitely should have tld him how discontinuing studies would create a gap between him and his peers coz that’s how society works. Explained to him how it may not bother him now, but when he’s older and he’s not on par with his peers, it might make him feel inadequate. Also explained that someone he likes may also look at him in a different light coz of his choices!
having this understanding may have helped him navigate this situation better or make different choices for himself.
4. they definitely should have never encouraged or stayed quiet if/when krish raavi n others made jokes abt his education.
how are they so dense to not understand the impact of such things in the societal construct given how smart n intelligent they supposedly are!!!
ShiVi shippers LOOK AWAY. I'm having a shipper struggle moment rn 😂😭. ( Also this became a whole college paper . Sorry 😭😭😭)
Shiri could be so interesting. And this is them as characters and how theyve been portrayed, not a weird in law cheating family trash. Nope🤮.
My last two braincells:
Braincell 1: you know shivi aren't really the wall to the back scene, because they've written raavi as the classic "choddo, koi dekhlega", kya Kar Raha scene . You know who would not only ace the back to wall , but up the stakes ? Rishi..
Braincell 2: Nooooo omegod stop it . Stop sabotaging me like this. Stop Stop Stop.
I think , this is partly cause of the sloppy screen writing for raavi and dev. No insult meant to the actress she does a great job with what's been handed to her .
I can't get into this raavi's head space at all. Her redeeming trait is her beauty ?? She just seems very vapid sometimes, and like a cheap rip off off geet from jab we met. There are just no layers to her.
Where are her hangup about being abandoned because she lost her parents as her child ?
What are things she believes in ? Loves ? Will fight for ? Hates?
All I have a picture of ,is a pretty girl who lots of boys had a crush on . Is a conformist.
I get they were maybe going for a sexy banter that builds frustration, heated fights leading to heated looks dynamic for shiVi , but that's not what's come through at all. It makes me think of ahem other couple this would've worked all too well on .
Dev is just a coward . Image in my head : dumb pretty boy of college /jock. Not even that, an extra in a movie. Period
The girl had to risk it for him, and still hasn't processed in his dumb brain. Rishita has every reason to question if he loves her anymore , because she's the one doing the heavy lifting here and risking all.
Rishita and Shiva on the other hand have been written mostly well , is almost like there were a different set of writers for them.
Both of them have layers upon layers . Guilt , that she trapped dev into marrying her. Guilt that he's trapped raavi into something she doesn't want , and anxiety that it was societal pressures that convinced their partners to choose them ,and not an individual choice.
Anger /insecurities /uncertainty : Rishita angry that she has to compromise all the time , loves how the pandyas are so close knit, angry how they still treat her like an outsider. Uncertain where she belongs or what to do, upset that they seem to include raavi in a way they don't with her .
Plus, she loves Dev the person (snorts, god knows what she saw in him) . No other man would've been acceptable, she risked societal disapproval, gave up a whole world she's known for him . And what does she get in return? Half assed depictions of love and blame from the very man she did this for.
Rishita's not perfect . But like dhara said , galat baatein don't make a galat person. Something they convienently ignore when it comes to rishita .
Also TW:// ( mentions of suicidal thoughts)
Given all of this , the confusion, guilt ,uncertainty , anxiety and anger she makes a prime candidate for suicide attempts or at least thoughts .
Shiva is so like rishita. A Volatile ,brewing mixture of anger, guilt ,confusion and insecurities. Angry about his feelings for raavi, angry that he feels uncomfortable in his own skin now (at himself and raavi) I think they've also done this with rishita , made her self conscious of herself in a way she wasn't before. Insecure because it's like Ravvi chose him as husband ™️, any male - to salvage her reputation first . Second , because he was Pandya . A part of the family she's always longed to be a part of . That there's no place for just him - just plain Shiva ,in her life or heart.
That she has no interest in knowing him, as a person one on one . Not to mention the agony of knowing her ideal type seems to be your brother . In many ways the opposite of you.
I mean imagine living with looking at your partners kinda ex day in and out. Ouch . This for both shiva and Rishita. To make it worse the family seems to constantly alienate them , make them the target of blame and anger , protecting Dev and Raavi for the most part.
Additionally, which is weird as hell. None of the pandyas seem to have support systems outside the house (friends , other shop owner friends , neighbor friends hell even other distant cousins even) . This was straight up weird.
And like so many of us have mentioned: why do the elders in the family take it when the others taunt shiva for not being college educated ? They should have shut that down immediately. The unpad unpad remarks must feel like salt on wounds .
Why didn't they encourage him to look an alternate education? Or show him as being the street smart sharp guy, who has his hand on the pulse of the market , who is king at negotiating deals from wholesalers . Is a local legend of sorts? But noooooooo.
OK. Before I shut up and stop writing an entire paper here imma just get this out.
Shiva and Rishita's theme song /bgm would be all of You by John Legend . Sure ,perfect for them as shivrish the couple, but who they are as people and what they want of life and love .

@bold, Honestly, yes! I like traits of Rishita (her confidence, bold nature, and her warm, encompassing love for who she calls family), but I think other traits would annoy Shiva to no level (the fact that she would make him sandwiches 😂, her complaining attitude, how she can be fierce when she doesn't get her way). On that side, I think Shiva needs someone as caring and sweet as Raavi. If Shiva blew up on Rishita like this, I think eventually, she would leave the relationship. It's probably what attracted her to Dev. Because no matter how hard they thought, he would come back to coddle and sweet talk her. If anything, I wish Raavi became more bold and Dev had some more personality 🤣
But, Piu, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, would love to see a bromance (or maybe some kind of weird, dubious friendship that just screams them) between them! I can already envision an AU world where Rishita decides to set up her own company and having Shiva be her secretary since he just gets her. They both could be giving each other late-night drunk talks.
"Shiva, I thought I told you! Girls like confidence!" she slapped Shiva's back as she took another swing of her drink.
Shiva looked on disgusted as he moved the bottle away from his boss, "The same could go for you." Though it pained him to know Rishita loved his brother, he knew he couldn't do anything about it. What Rishita wants, she gets. And even if he tried stopping her from becoming his bhabi, she would've wormed her way into his family some other way.
"What! No! What are you talking about, I can't just confess to Dev like that! He needs to confess to me!" Rishita seemed absolutely appalled.
"And why can't you?" Shiva grit his teeth. "It's the 21st Century! Why do boys have to do all the work?"
Rishita glared at him, "Why are you talking back to me?"
"Because it's nine o'clock, boss," Shiva sneered. "My workday is finished." He stood up, unwilling to want to speak to his insufferable "boss" any longer.
Reaching into her wallet, Rishita pulled out a wad of cash, "I'll pay you overtime. Now be a good secretary and listen to my advice! If you're happy, which is a mountainous task already, then I will be happy!" Shiva raised his brow and Rishita glared at him, "Don't think I haven't noticed how you purposely ruin every chance I have with your brother! You're lucky your brother is Dev or I would've fired you a long time ago!"
Only Shiva and Rishita can insult each other and get away with it 🤣 I swear is Raavi or Dev ever insulted them, they wouldn't be able to get away from ShiRish's fury 🤣
