Of course they will be back.
After several years of watching these shows- the favorite method of writers to generate TRPs is to make the main leads suffer as much as possible . I guess their logic is the story/ characters/ relationship can rise only once they fall and hit the depths.
The favorite ML is flawed/ has some issue either in his attitude towards life or love and the FL comes along to make him change. Or their relationship has a rocky start and has to go through these horrible lows before it is fixed.
I can only explain Shiva’s reaction to the kiss as he was surprised / shocked. And he is not a perfect person and may not always say the right thing at the right time. Yes- currently my thinking is also that Raavi deserves much better. But then ITV has a way of making the leads you like complete a**holes before they redeem themselves some way.
The ITV formula itself is to create as much MU and confusion - else the belief is there will be no stories. It’s lazy formula based story telling but sadly that’s what sells - TRP wise.
Raavi herself - never opened her mouth earlier to defend Shiva when ppl were saying horrible things about him ( at least in his hearing). And so because of their silence and rising MU, it’s always our lot to seethe in frustration and the more we seethe, ITV believes, the more is our happiness when things work out.
So suffer suffer in hope that an episode comes along where the relationship we ship makes an inch worm like progress 🙄
