In SBS video BM said she will always side Sonalika because she is blind to Prarthana goodness and does not see anything good in Prarthana for Shivansh. She wants unnati of Shivansh.

I cannot get the over the expression of Namik here. He did not make it cringe when he was sulking like a kid here.

Specially the way he looked when she said she will take care of him by force. His look was full of anger but longing too. Such a baby

I think the sequence of events will go like this..

Dumbo Dora will first go to Sona with the proof to challenge her as usual .. Meanwhile they’ll show that PraShiv precap scene as a dream. And in reality, when she actually leaves to go to his office, she'll get kidnapped on the way and lose the evidence too lol ..

This is the kind of expectation I've to set just to not get disappointed later

I never really watched Kyunki.. was too young to remember anything clearly, just some vague flashes. But with the hype around S2, I ended up checking Wiki out of curiosity. And omg I couldn’t stop laughing! .. since this gen of KKB was supposed to follow that same route..

They didn’t even bother changing Payal’s name .. Kept it as it is! And guess what she was originally played by none other than Jaya ji, our beloved Bua Ma. The crossover khichdi is killing me

Also found out Mihir cheated on Tulsi for years and even had a kid with someone else which would've been our Dora’s exact fate if not for Shivansh's entry. No wonder her pati-prem/bhakti for Shivansh comes out soo naturally... girl literally dodged a bullet!

Ohh yrrr thankfully because of low trp,they brought Namik and change the whole script.Otherwise, Pranali would have been stuck in this serial very badly that too with her rotlu co star😭ohh man I even can't just imagine Prarthana being married with rotlu😭If Shivansh character wouldn't come, Prarthana would end up married with rotlu,dayan saas with rotlu's potlu make plan one after another to create mu between couple,rotlu would cry,give constipation expression and drink cheap alcohol and potlu would end up getting pregnant with his numerous childs😭ohh man I can't even imagine Prarthana's hug and romance scene with rotluPlease Pranali bach gyi jo Namik aa gya iss serial mai and PraShiv got married within one week of his entry,whole script change and we're getting nok jhok,hug, little romance scenes between PraShiv😭♥️

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

Exactly! I felt the same after the episode and shared here last night. This feels spot on and I appreciate Nagpal for actually going this route. The writing maybe lacklustre, but the intent is very good.
