Or maybe both of them are Smita's son. It's not impossible for her to be suffering from postpartum or simply not being able to handle motherhood at the time. Maybe she wasn't ready for a child and couldn't handle Shiv, but later when she had Raunak she was in a much better place, mentally, physically, financially. Usually in these cases the parent doesn't abandon the kid, but there are cases of neglect or lack of a strong bond. And maybe Bua Maa used that to further drive a wedge between mother and son.ITV itna deep subject pe focus nahi karegi qnki serial chalne ke liye Tadka and Garam Masala chahiye with Dhoom tana tana

But this is ITV so most probably Bua Maa is the main evil and Smita will be whitewashed. Exactly

Either way, both her sons are strangely competent when they aren't letting their emotions cloud their judgement. Really liked how Raunak took initiative and went to look at the cctv footage. If they tone down his immature obsessive personality, it's easy to like him.Till now haven't found him unlikeable qnki Green flag ke tarah pura efforts laga raha hai Prat ko deceitful marriage se bahar nikalne ke liye. By the way he was right in his point of "Shiv mehmaan bankar aya tha aur ghar tod diya uska ." Wese bhi shiv toh busy hai prat ko ek din ki raat katkar leftover wife tag chipkane ke liye for his revenge just to hurt Smita and Raunak. Prashiv have electrifying chemistry but Shiv is a misogynist whereas Raunak is still morally upright and feminist. Day one se agar Raunak ko thoda imperfect dikhate toh itni sympathy nahi dikhati for him even though uski aur prat ki jodi thodi boring thi. I didn't like Shiv ki woh baat jab apne behen ke saamne bhi disgusting remarks karta hai for prat jabki yeh thoda tone down karna chahiye. Anti hero ke naam pe ML ko itna vhi nahi girana chahiye ki fans ke aankh aur kaan se khoon nikle .

Agreed, Raunak is pretty normal in his way of processing things. He seems to genuinely care for Prarthana. And he's smart. Honestly the only thing going against Raunak is that the actor isn't hot. Otherwise his character is alright, pretty lead material. If you switched actors then everyone would be shouting at the screen. I feel bad for the actor because he was signed as the lead and now this. Makers should really stick to their choice or sign conventionally hot actors in the first place.

Fully agree with your views on Shiv's attitude towards Prarthana. On their one-on-one interactions he doesn't look bad except for a couple of arguments / dialogues and we can excuse that, but the way he talks about her when she's not there is....they need to tone down his dialogues because no matter how Namik plays it with his occasionally regretful / unwilling expressions the dialogues aren't helping Shiv's image.

From the beginning itself they should have played it as Shiv agreeing to whatever Bua Maa says to appease her and ignore the elephant in the room, not to approach it in the exact same way. Prarthana's situation is this that she will never take a stand for herself but Shiv really wronged her and it's time he treats it with the seriousness it deserves instead of casually saying that he will throw her out. She's not a toy!

I know writers have restrictions and they are thrown curve balls but the way they bank on an actor's popularity or his / her hotness to see them through is seriously low-effort.

they have tried once but didn’t get trps

So they ruined whole story in name of trps.

This is about another show.

If Shiv was not her biological son then I think she would have told him on his face or even bua maa would have told him . We will learn truth once prathana discovers his birth certificate and 2 gurumaa’s bhavishya vani prathana will become Smita daughter in law.

I feel Bhalu is not her real son because she left randava house 18yrs ago.

Bua maa played well but they need to spend time together elsewhere . Tanya is not gonna go against her mother ?

Because Ekta is pro at making her Mother India treat their own son poorly and love bomb their step sons

I just hate that we wont get PraShiv scenes soon. I started watching the Show after Namik's entry. And for the first time in my life I m rooting for a red flag like Shiv

But I loved when Prarthana gave a reality check to Shivansh the other day. He didnt expect her to talk back

BTW if shiv already knew that Smita Hates Prarthana then he should have let Raunak marry her to spite Smita . Why did he marry Prarthana. He is mistreating Sonalika and Prarthana both

I just hate they way they are dealing this track. No one noticed when the short guy was replaced by the Tall guy in the mandap. What a comedy

Unpopular Opinion: I wouldn't hate it if Prarthna got back together with Raunak. I would actually love a Vampire Diaries style story arc where the heroine falls in love with both brothers and finds it difficult to choose between the good guy and the morally ambiguous one.

Of course, ITV would never be able to handle something that spicy 🌶️, so I'd settle for her falling in love with one brother but growing out of love for him due to his mistreatment (by which time he would have started loving her), and then falling for the other guy. I think Imlie handled this trope the best - KKB could take notes from that show.

Same here I only started to watch it since Shivansh’s entry.

this is Indian tv land and Ekta land so it’s common for mom to love the step son the most or show fake love and hate or show. Little to no love to her own kids.

So finally the mystery has been solved! Some media outlets claimed Prat would get kidnapped while some claimed she would get in an accident. At least now we know for sure that she gets kidnapped and also whose behind the kidnapping.. at least I think it is payal as she said in today's episode that I'll give raunak a new problem to deal with to distract him from finding out about the guilty person responsible for the food poisoning.

I think this is her way to distract raunak and she has roped in bhavesh for that. He was anyway miffed that he could not get married to Prat so uska badla bhi pura ho jayega this way.

Preeta will call Shiv for help and bhavesh will incite raunak, now it is to be seen who will reach her first and rescue Prat and more importantly what will happen after that!

As for today's episode it was pretty much skip worthy except for Shivu baby getting all restless and worked up by Prat's absence!

Preeta sure can talk! That lady just wouldn't shut up with her bhashan today. The only good thing she had said was on he day of the wedding when she blessed PraShiv and told them ki unka kumkum bhagya jud gaya hai which also proves that PraShiv is endgame!

Payal with the fake emo drama was super irritating to watch.. hopefully tomorrow's episode will focus on the leads more than the unimportant supporting characters..

Last 2 episodes were okayish. I understand in order to develop the story and all ....they have to show all these supporting characters but please cut their scenes short. Why are we getting 15 mins bhasan from Preeta and Payal drama. (When Sona will find out about the wedding then she will be getting all the screen time as well). In last 5 episodes we only got 2 scenes of Prashiv together.

I am very disappointed and if they are keep on doing that I am out of here 😕 😪 I said it before too but this is always been issue of this show that they hardly show any scenes of leads together.

Skipped everything except some of Prarthana's conversation with Preeta (I love the actress but can't stand the character) and Shivansh's scenes.

Speaking of Shivansh, if either Prarthana or Smita accept him then he won't stand a chance. For Prarthana it's his guilt and sense of responsibility, plus he has become used to her. With his mother, he wants her love.

Onto kidnapping drama. It can go two ways - 1) Shivansh saves her and they reach home when Sonalika is there or she comes after, or 2) Raunak saves her but Prarthana goes to Shivansh's and sees Sonalika or some variation of it.

My fave scene of the day ❤️:

Shivansh thinking Prarthana is calling him to apologise and being disappointed when it turns out to be Sonalika. This guy is already hopelessly wifey-coded - he's gonna really regret making that promise to Bua Maa. 😆
