ITV nowadays can't even handle leads and their love story properly...and brother sister parallel tracks kya karenge..
But here in this context... Even though both Shivansh and Prarthana have endured trauma but the nature of their trauma have been sooo different...and so was their response..
Tanya may be Bua Maa’s daughter, but Shivansh was never truly her brother...i mean in terms of emotional connection..He was raised alongside her, not with her.
In his mind, Tanya represents a life that had a mother’s love, stability, and emotional grounding — things Shivansh never felt deserving of.So he distanced himself, not out of dislike, but because he felt like an outsider in his own home.
“She belonged here. I was just… surviving here"
Shivansh’s default mode is distance. He can love someone (like Bua Maa) and still keep his emotions locked away.Tanya might have tried to reach him, even casually — but he shuts down.She may represent “family” — and family, to him, is where pain originates.So he keeps it polite. Distant. Guarded...
Lastly
Sometimes, it's hardest to bond with the people who live closest to your pain but never truly see it. Tanya might love him like a cousin, maybe even a brother, or he might love her as a cousin in his own way..whatever love he was capable of but she never lived his battles.So while he sees him as family, he also sees her as a mirror to the life he was never allowed to live fully...
That's what I understand
