I say sign a legally binding two-way restraining order through the court to demonstrate proof as a start, then go back and retrace evidence.

I felt that this is his Inferiority complex speaking... remember, he comes from a broken family and therefore would have high standards about what an "Ideal marriage/family" should look like. Knowing his character, he thinks he probably falls short of that standard. Also, the fact that he is not the emotionally supportive consoling type must grate on his nerves, considering how many times he saw Prats needed consoling and emotional support and how he failed on that (by his own assumptions).

Anusha di....you know this topic is my favourite...how much I used to talk about it last time...as well..

I have no issues with Shivansh...I understand him..but my complain is with writers only...

With Shivansh..I get his psychological issues completely..

Shivansh's inferiority complex stems from the deep-rooted wounds of growing up in emotional abandonment, something far more damaging than poverty or failure. A broken family doesn’t just affect your relationships — it reshapes your identity, your worth, and your capacity to believe that you're lovable at all.

He Was Made to Feel "Not Enough"His mother left him — and a child always assumes it's their fault."Was I not good enough to be kept?”“Did she not love me because I was unlovable?”That wound never heals. It morphs into self-hate. He grows up chasing perfection but secretly believing he will never earn love — not trully..He didn't just feel abandoned. He felt defective.

His Mind Became His Enemy Where shivansh likely overachieved, excelled, became powerful — not to impress the world, but to silence the voice inside him that said:“You were the unwanted one.”

But success doesn’t silence that voice.
Because no amount of business empires can fill the space where a mother’s hug was supposed to be

He Equates Vulnerability with WeaknessA broken childhood taught him: "If you show need, people leave."So even when he loves Prarthana, he punishes her for getting too close.He craves her, but he fears being seen.

Because if she sees how hollow he feels inside, what if she leaves too ...

His inferiority complex doesn’t make him unlovable. It makes him tragic, real, and yearning — the kind of man who needs love, but doesn’t know how to accept it without suspicion or fear.

And that is why Prarthana 's love is both his cure and salvation...

So you can see I really love him...and feel protective of him as well...hence I just don't want his character to fall prey to trash crap writing and butchering..

So my issue is with writers...not with Shivansh..never...❤️..

Sorry it went too long

On the topic of this,I feel the song "Barbaad" from Saiyaara is actually pretty apt for how Shivansh is feeling right now... a summation of the emotional tempest in the depths of his heart.

Lyrical | Barbaad Song | Saiyaara | Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda | The Rish | Jubin Nautiyal

Tujhse dur main ek hi wajah ke liye hoon

The only reason I remain far from you is that

Kamzor ho jata hoon main

I can’t fight with myself

Tujhse dur main ek hi wajah ke liye hoon

The only reason I remain far from you is that

Aawara bann jaata hoon main

I become carefree about my life

Tujhse dur main ek hi wajah ke liye hoon

The only reason I remain far from you is that

Aawara bann jaata hoon main

I become carefree about my life

Tujhe choo loon toh kuch mujhe ho jaayega

If I touch you, something special brews in me

Jo main chahta na ho mujhko

Which I don’t want to happen

Tujhe milke yeh dil mera beh jaayega

My heart will melt as soon as I meet you

Issi baat ka darr hai mujhko

And this is exactly what I’m afraid of

Ke ho naa jaye pyaar tumse mujhe

That I do not fall in love with you

Kar dega barbaad ishq mujhe

This love will ruin me completely

Ho naa jaye pyaar tumse mujhe

That I do not fall in deep love with you

Behadd beshumaar tumse tumse

A never-ending everlasting love saga with you

Aaa.... ooo... ho..... aaa.... ho....

Teri nazdeekiyon mein kaisa khumaar hai

There is such magical intoxication near you

Teri kurbat se mera dil kyun bekaraar hai

My heart feels restless and chaotic when I’m near you

Kyun yeh mit-ti nehi hai kaisi yeh pyaas hai

Why doesn’t this thirst for you ever end?

Jitna main dur jaaun utni hi tu paas hai…

The more I try to go far from you, you become closer

Tujhe keh dun ya rehne doon raaz mere

Should I expose to you my weakness or keep it all a secret?

Sab kuch keh doon kya tujhko

Should I say everything to you

Tu mujhko chhod jaayegi ya aayegi paas mere

I wonder if you’ll leave me or love me more

Issi baat ka darr hai mujhko

And this is exactly what I’m afraid of

Ke ho naa jaye pyaar tumse mujhe

That I may fall in deep love with you

Kardega barbaad ishq mujhe

And this love will destroy my lonely life

Ho naa jaye pyaar tumse mujhe

I fear I’ll fall in love with you

Behadd beshumaar tumse………….

A never ending, everlasting love saga with you

Inn ghamon ko khatam kar rahe ho tum

You’re ending all my sorrows one by one

Inn ghaamon ko khatam kar rahe ho tum

Zakhmon ka marhaam bann rahe ho tum

You’re the ointment to my wounds

Mehsoos mujhe aisa kyun ho raha

Why do I feel like,

Ke meri duniya bann rahe ho tum... Bann rahe ho tum

That you have become the center of my universe?

Tere bin kya yeh dil ab dhaadk paayega

Can my heart even beat without you now?

Poochtha hoon main yeh khudko

I keep asking myself this

Tere aane se se dard chala jaayega

Your arrival will end all my sufferings

Issi baat ka darr hai mujhko

And this is exactly what I’m afraid of

Ke ho naa jaaye pyaar

That I may fall in deep love with you

Ke ho na jaaye pyaar

That I may fall in love with you

Ke ho jaaye pyaar tumse mujhe

That I may fall in love with you

Kar dega barbaad ishq mujhe

This love will destroy my lonely life

Ho naa jaaye pyaar tumse mujhe

That I may fall in love with you

Behadd beshumaar tumse……

A never-ending everlasting love saga with you

Ishq mujhe ishq mujhe

I’m in love

Barbaad mujhe……

It’s spoiling me

Ishq mujhe………….

I’m in love

And to add to the points you mentioned above- Vulnerability is a very powerful weapon if wielded correctly, and he was taught that it is wrong, because everyone who abused the vulnerability he showed them. And then comes Prats, who not only valued it but also shared her own in kind return. A brand new experience for him, one where it didn't matter to Prats if he was going to use it against her like he did with his mom and Raunak. Because that was shown to him, to use it against others as he was shown.

I get what y'all are saying, maybe it's right but pata nahi yaar for me, going straight from ''nahi chodunga, kabhi nahi chodunga" to "I want a divorce" overnight is wild!!

How do u jump from one extreme to the other like that? I think I need time to process everything and come to terms with reality

Ha! This is what I felt too! The first dialogue what he said to Prats is ‘Me bina wajah kuch nahi karta hu’, I still believe it’s a plan of his. He putting a strong facade in front of Prats to get her to leave. And even those P and R flashes, he remembered that only to look angry. Look at how his expression crumbles when he turns away from Prarthana and again turns back to angry when she faces him.

He started brewing that EMA shit only after BM and Sona came. Maybe all this is an act to send Prarthana away from those shitty people who will only try to hurt her more.

Oh god, I cannot believe I am actually defending him, but I trust Namik. The kind of guy he is, he’ll not portray such a regressive character who’ll flip at an instant when all he did was support his wife infront of Sona and Karthik and promised Prarthana that he’ll not leave her.

Same here . I trust Namik to portray a strong character only. No other nonsense unless it’s a act to expose others

Originally posted by: Anusha16

Bold- It still feels counterproductive unless he has a way to pacify and pack Sona from his life, so that BM won't bring up her topic again. Remember he still doesn't know or chooses to ignore how BM feels about Prats truly. Thodi naa Prats ko door Bhejte asli problem solve ho jaayegi.

A very valid point. I really didn’t think of this.

Then the only reason could be his inner demons deemed him unworthy of her after that soulful confession. He made a promise but is not confident enough that Prarthana will stay with him and hence he made such a decision. If it is so, then the makers should’ve shown his plight while coming to that decision. Would’ve made the angst part beautiful.
But him accusing her of EMA, no matter why, does bring a bitter taste.
I think I’ll take a break from theorising for a while. Will watch the next couple of episodes in silence, coz there’s too much going on in my head.

Well she should've taken the money.

I bet she ask for Shiv & her suhaag, no money is worth my KK, MS

Ha what a blow to Sona ego, riding high thinking she was better, taunted Prart and how if she wanted (snapping fingers ) Prart would be gone is now offering 1 lakh

If it’s not a plan then none of us understand.

I feel like his monologuing and introspection will be shown in FB later if its a plan when it succeeds in trapping Raunak and proving the affair thing wrong.
