So saw last night episode...lot to unpack actually....but first let me talk about Shivansh...since his point of view and his side of the story is what I was waiting for
It is so endearing and heartwarming to see the impact Prarthana has left on him ...and that girl deserves to be needed,to be wanted like this...I soo soo loved it when he immediately turned around when he could feel the blanket over him and called," "Prarthana"....so yes .. it's not just about care ... it's the attention and care from Prarthana...she is irreplaceable in his life...More when she is not around....
Her absence becomes a presence louder than her physical presence ever was.
But still... he waits.
Not to bring her back — but for her to prove she was always his....
Even though the moment Kartik asked him if he loves Prarthana, he immediately remembers all their moments...he knows deep down what the actual answer is....but still on the face he denied..."Nahin"
Because loving her means:
Admitting he hurt her.
Accepting that he needs someone.
Risking vulnerability again — and he’s terrified of being abandoned one more time.
So he chooses the safer lie:
“I don’t love her.”
“She’s just a mistake I can’t forget.”
But deep down, he waits.For her voice,Her truth.
Her footsteps at the door.
Shivansh is not waiting for justice.
He is waiting for redemption — and he’s using her innocence as the only proof that his heart might still be capable of something pure.
And Prarthana?
She’s still loving the man who breaks her — because somewhere, she knows:He’s not doubting her. He’s doubting himself....
That one line — “Tum itni ziddi hojao, kaise bhi karke sach saabit karo” — isn’t just an angry command.It’s a desperate, broken cry from a man who is drowning in his own doubts, guilt, and emotional paralysis.Shivansh’s outburst isn’t about betrayal.
It’s about helplessness.
About not knowing how to fight for what he wants — because he doesn’t believe he deserves it.
He’s watching the one person who gave meaning to his pain — Prarthana — slip away, and he doesn’t know how to stop it, because:
He doesn’t know if her love is real(looks like he has forgotten the confession 😳)
He doesn’t know if he is worthy of love
He doesn’t even know how to believe anymore.
So instead, he shouts.
Pushes her away.
But deep inside, every cold word hides a plea:
"Please fight for us, Prarthana. Because I am too broken to do it myself.Tum itni ziddi hojao…Be stubborn. Be relentless. Be the voice that silences even my mistrust.”
It means:
“I want to believe you… but I’m scared.”
“I want to be with you… but I feel I’ve ruined everything.”
“I love you… but I don’t think I’m allowed to have you.”
The tragedy is
He’s not fighting against her.
He’s fighting against himself.
And in his raw, bitter confusion, he’s unknowingly handing her the sword to either fight for them or walk away.
Because deep down he knows:
Only Prarthana can save him from himself...
He says: "You betrayed me."
But his heart whispers:
“Tell me you didn’t.”
“Look me in the eye and break this lie I’ve created in my head.”
“Please — make me the fool in this story, not the one who pushed you away.”
Because he doesn't pray with folded hands.
He prays by throwing daggers, testing her loyalty through fire.
Like last episode...he was actually suspicious wheather Prarthana would return and blabbering infront of Sonalika about it....but she came
And every time she withstands it, his soul cries —
"She stayed. She's still here."
That is what Shivansh wants:
To see her fight for the truth,
because he's too wounded to do it himself.
So yes.
He accuses her — not because he fully believes it — but because he desperately needs to be proven wrong.
Only then can he believe in love.
Only then can he forgive himself.
Only then can he allow himself to be loved
