So the Raavi "itna kiya" things- I have thought a lot about it. I think it refers to the fact that she overcome her anger and started taking up her responsibilities at home with a smile. Do I completely agree with them 😕 Not really- She should have shown her anger at the correct people like Dev or Rishitha, but that is a totally different topic. I'll give her that- she fount her peace with the family despite facing a huge blow from them few months ago. And I think her telling Shiva that she wants to move on and asking him what he wants in a wife also is enough for a lot of people to say tbag she is trying.
And I feel, yes, she started trying, but her beliefs and her attitude about Shiva showed in very subtle ways. Ultimately, Shiva is just about ok in her books- I can't say for sure, but had Sneha kaand not happened, Raavi might have found more appealing things in Shiva 🤷♀️ But for now, I have not seen anything to tell me that Raavi thinks highly of Shiva or respects him. There were token scenes of her standing up to Rishitha and Sneha, but I wish they would have her think or say cleary that she specifically respects him. Not just "Shut up". Because when Rishitha says "Why are you getting angry, does the truth hurt?", Raavi conveniently shuts up Had she said "Just because Shiva speaks his mind in a gruff tone, does not make him Jaahil or Junglee. He is speaking in anger, where anyone can slip up, educated or not", it would have given Shiva the message she is actually on his side.
All she says is "How dare you say such things?" or just "shut up". The only inference I could make is that Raavi somewhere agress with the notion- she has been brought up with those ideas- first set by Maami and later reinforced by her friends. She feels ashamed that such things are brought up because she is now in a relationship with him. But had she not be married to him, would she have really stood up for him? I am not convinced she would have 😕
And that is Shiva's dilemma. Of course he does not want to let her go, he likes her. But on the other hand, if he gives in and invests himself further with the relationship- he is probably setting himself up for heartbreak. It is clear that in isolated environments, that they are fine- Raavi will be good to him. I'll keep aside the whole teasing and Dev bits aside for now. But when they interact with the real world, her discomfort springs out. Sorry, personally, the Surat-Sirat dialogue does not cut it for me.
The unintended comparison will seep into their lives- because despite what Raavi says, the differences do matter to Raavi. I don't remember seeing Raavi proud of Shiva for anything. I have seen softness and love for the family, but not pride (correct me if I am wrong) Shiva is something to be hodden away from the world to see- not proudly displayed by her side.
Shiva, for all his idiocy and lunacy, is right 😐 Wih ghut ghut ke rahegi, and he being the observant partner, would see her regret and her helplessness, and will suffer silently along with her. The family will happily move on and be in their lala land. And just imagine a child in this mix They will be setting up another generation with deep rooted issues 🙄
I firmly disagree with people who think Shiva is jealous and is expecting Raavi to love him back. Shiva has never been that clueless. I feel his "Mein Raavi ke layak nahin hoon" has more to do with her respecting him tahn loving him. I do not see respect for Shiva in any of Raavi's expressions or actions 🤷♀️
The family forcing a sorry will just be a band-aid fix. Without trust and respect(let's leave out love for now), shiVi are doomed to a life of unhappiness. Which is what Shiva is fighting against for Raavi's sake. Raavi really doesnot trust or respect him 😕 Shiva, I am not sure- I think he also does not trust and respect her 🤔
Thank you for letting me rant 😃 I do not really want to post on the EDT because it just leads to loopy conversations where both parties don't budge 🤣
This has truly become my safe space 🤗
