Shiva fell too fast.i would have loved a slow build up and more bathroom encounters, pallu scenes and tashanbaazi before he fell.
The haveli hardly had 8-10 shivi scenes and he was full latttoo when he came to Somnath.
I would always have a problem with how quickly raavi moved on after her trauma too.the impact of her wedding scenes was all lost.she was suddenly friendly with Rishita, eating Chinese food with her and playing antakshari.
I would have loved to see a silent raavi withdrawn into her shell and shiva being uncomfortable seeing her like that,so he does things to irritate her and get a reaction out of her.slowly and steadily she forgets her pain and gets invested in fighting with shiva. Teaming up with Krish to trouble him. Them challenging and pranking each other.
All this amidst dhara and gombis support who make her feel loved and welcomed into the family and of course the undercurrent of awakwardness between her and dev should have been present till shivi fell in love.
This is exactly how ShiVi's story should've progressed! The haveli should've had all the scenes where Shiva tries to uplift Raavi the best he can because he can't see his chipkali sad and bothered! It would've been beautiful if Raavi laughed seeing Krish dressed up in his Kesar costume, and Shiva stops in his tracks, completely incredulous.. and this is the reasoning behind ShiSh scaring Rishita for a second time (not because they think she should learn a lesson, but so Raavi can see another version of Kesar Krish to feel happy)
The bathtub could've been the last ShiVi scene they had together... where they suddenly become awkward seeing each other in such a vulnerable state, and this could lead to both of them thinking about their marriage, what they want, whether they want to pursue a physical relationship or whether they want to share an emotional relationship first... their return to Somnath could've began with Raavi and Shiva speaking about their expectations for the marriage/relationship, and both of them could've lied because they thought the other didn't want romance... and this could've been the start of their misunderstanding with Sneha and the other "friends" increasing the fire and doubt as ShiVi share more scenes together.
