But now it is actually making sense. Consider Shiv’s POV, everybody is against Prats. He also did see them in compromising position, not once but twice (remember when Ro came to meet Prats in the bedroom) he tried justifying it too and thrashed Raunak for even thinking badly about his wife. But when Ro accepted the ‘affair’ publicly, nobody from Ro’s family denied it. Even Smita ran to console him but never said Ro is lying. And Prats was happily about to marry Ro when Shiv stepped in. All of this did impact Shiv’s judgement.
Coming to Sonalika, he’s not even considering her evil intentions. He only feels that he’s wronged her, should make it upto her and thinks of her as his friend. That is why he’s also sharing his insecurities about Prats with her. He outright ignored her love, marriage talks. His mind is filled with Prats and he’s struggling with the circumstances. Dil ki sunu ya dimaag ka situation.
Now Prats understood that. She knows Shiv is emotionally weaker than her, so she’s bearing all the brunt and will not leave him unless her departure will actually benefit him. She knows if she leaves him, he’ll be broken forever and in today’s episode they showed that beautifully. My respect for Prarthana has increased tenfold! She’s so young, not educated much but her EQ is on the top.
I am kind of rooting for this track, albeit lacklustre Nagu’s direction looks good.
Also if we look at Shivansh 's pov here.... without justifying him
It was not just a moment of jealousy — it is psychological disintegration in real time. For someone like Shivansh, whose love is messy, intense, and clinging onto scraps of emotional safety, what he saw wasn’t just a scene — it was a trauma trigger
Rose petals ,a symbolic gesture of affection and celebration —being showered on his wife by another man, especially the man she was once set to marry? And his biggest enemy apparantly
For Shivansh, that wasn’t just a visual — it was a loud declaration:“She belongs to someone else.”
His fragile, slowly building love — the love he never allowed himself to feel —was now mocked by a moment that felt staged, theatrical, and cruel.
The glass separating them was more than physical.It was symbolic — he was on the outside looking in.His blurry vision — a metaphor for his growing doubt, his confusion, his inability to trust —watching two silhouettes in an intimate posture, when all he had was hope.
It’s like witnessing your worst fear come alive, with no room for logic, just emotion.
The montage of his own memories with Prarthana
-the smiles, the soft moments, the stolen glances, the emotional breakdowns where she held him…
All of it came crashing like a thunderous wave.
Now they weren’t comforting — they were mocking him.All he could think was
“I thought we were building something. I thought I meant something to you.”
This is grief in its rawest form. The grief of losing a love you never believed you deserved in the first place.
For Someone With Abandonment Trauma — This Scene Is Catastrophic.Shivansh didn't just see his wife with another man.
He saw:
His worst nightmare becoming real.
His fear of being second-best confirmed.
The happiness he dared to feel now being proven false.
That’s why this was more than a misunderstanding.It was a complete emotional collapse .Though he argued with himself a lot, tried to avoid it .but eventually a little push and he was inside the dark pit
So yes — that moment behind the glass was everything he feared.
And because he loved her so much — that one image turned into emotional carnage.
