Beautiful thread ♥️ How beautifully you have written about Shivansh, how we love him, not because he is perfect, not because he is the hero, but he is broken, messy, and so, so real.
Shivansh Randhawa is a man who allows his fear and hatred guide him. He willingly jumps into a battle knowing that by the end of it, this war might consume him ("Yeh badle ki aag mein tu jhulas jayega.." "Toh jhulas jane dijiye"). He takes an impulsive decision that might ruin them both, but the moment they walk out of it as husband and wife, he takes responsibility. He extends a hand and offers his quiet support, even as he thinks that he will be releasing her from this bond by the end of the week. He is a man who makes mistakes and is willing to face the consequences ("Ab jo hoga, dekh lenge" - to Sonalika when she curses him that this marriage will ruin him). He is impulsive, he is wrong, his hands move too fast, too strong and too thirsty for the satisfaction of a well-landing hit on the brother who got it all. He is someone who doesn't believe that he can be loved, who questions Prarthana's love for him. Who loses control of his words and his temper and hurts.
He is also the man who regrets. Who confesses, if only to the emptiness that surrounds him, how sorry he is. Whose quiet apologies are not always heard, but felt. Who punishes himself with the thoughts that continue to torment him.
He is our bakwas specialist, our patni-paglu, our accident-prone, shy Shivansh Randhawa.
And Namik...thank you for your little touches, those micro-expressions when there were no dialogues to tell us anything about how Shivansh felt. For the nuance you brought into every scene. For going above and beyond and making our Shivansh Randhawa who he is. For connecting with us. That string of bts moments and insta stories during Shivansh's stay at the hospital. The spoilers. The witty comments. The reassurance that post-fire hug was real. You have been so connected with us, we always felt heard. Thank you for the interviews where you have carefully explained Shivansh's motivations and mental state. Both onscreen and offscreen you have contributed to Shivansh Randhawa's charm.
I had a lot more to say, but my overwhelming love for the characters, an end that is fast approaching and the seriously underwhelming episodes made it hard. But I will say this ― Shivansh Randhawa will always stay with me, for many reasons. ♥️
* I wrote the quotes / dialogues from memory, so please forgive me if they aren't 100% true to the show. I didn't revisit old episodes while writing this.
Thank you soo much 💞
The most special aspect is the way Namik paints Shivansh as a paradox: a man feared by the world, yet undone by a single woman’s defiance, her kindness, her pain. There’s a grief in his gaze, not for what he’s lost—but for what he never believed he deserved. He doesn’t beg. He doesn’t scream. And yet, every scene leaves you shattered—because the ache is that real, that raw, that intimate.
He gives Shivansh's love story texture—not with grand declarations, but with trembling restraint. Not with flowery romance, but with the kind of love that chooses to stay inspite of all the layers of conspiracy and misunderstandings, quietly, fiercely, through every broken moment. It’s the kind of love that Namik lets simmer beneath the surface through Shivansh—possessive, messy, flawed, but profoundly human.
And when Shivansh finally cracks open—when the facade splinters and the grief spills out in jagged sobs or trembling apologies—Namik doesn’t act the pain. He lives it. You don’t watch him cry; you feel it in your bones....

You all have already voiced so much of what I feel and Asmita, your words always leave me in awe. The way you articulate emotions is beyond beautiful and the way you captured Shivansh's character.. I’m sure even Nagpal would be scratching his head wondering how he missed the depth you just described
(sorry but my hate for him is so intense, I had to bring this up!)
Now coming back to my man…
It’s his day today
Namik Paul.
Where do I even begin?
I’ve said this before, countless times, and I’ll keep saying it.. YOU were the reason I started watching this gen and YOU are the only reason I’m still sticking around despite everything. I never imagined I’d end up being such a huge fan of yours but you’ve completely won me over with this one !!
Shivansh Randhawa.. has officially joined my list of all-time fav fictional characters. He’s flawed, imperfect, human… and that’s exactly what makes him feel so real. And you... brought him to life with such honesty, sensitivity and depth that sometimes it doesn’t feel like we’re watching a character on screen. It feels like he lives next door ❤️
It’s been ages since I’ve loved an ITV ML this deeply, especially considering the kinds we get these days. But Shivansh was different.. layered, well-written and most importantly, played by an actor who truly understood him. Your empathy for the character, your instinctive performance, your internalisation.. it shows. It shines. It speaks.
Yes, he deserved more time… a longer journey… more stories to tell but even if this ride was short, it was unforgettable 🥹❤️
Shivansh Randhawa will always be special. Always remembered. Forever etched in our hearts.
And that’s because of you Namik!! ❤️
Thank you soooo soooo much sweetheart 😘.. that's really sweet of you and your love-affair with Nagpal continues🤗😂😂
And Your words feel less like a post and more like a letter written straight from the heart—and yes, you’ve said what countless of us feel every single time we watch Namik Paul breathe life into Shivansh Randhawa—this beautifully broken, complex man who never asked to be loved directly, and yet somehow… became impossible not to.
The way you’ve described him—flawed, imperfect, human—is precisely what made him unforgettable. Shivansh wasn’t born out of hero tropes or ITV clichés. He wasn’t scripted to be worshipped or adored. He was raw. He was bruised. He was stitched together by pride and pain, by buried grief and unresolved yearning—and somehow, Namik held him in his hands like something sacred. He didn’t perform Shivansh. He understood him...And Namik didn’t just play him—he felt him. Every beat. Every contradiction. Every crack beneath that icy exterior. His empathy for Shivansh poured through every look, every sigh, every broken whisper of love too scared to name itself...
So yes, while the world may move on and the writers may not have given Shivansh all the time he deserved, we will remember.Every scene.Every silence.Every inch of vulnerability that Namik poured into him.
And like you so perfectly said—
Shivansh Randhawa will always be special. Always remembered. Forever etched in our hearts.
Because he was never just a character. He was an experience. A mirror. A wound. A soft ache. A storm stilled by love.
And for giving us that—
Thank you, Namik. Truly.

Back profile, front profile, this angle or that..whether in shirts, turtlenecks, overcoats or even that hospital outfit, with perfectly gelled hair or messy, wet look, bandaged or not.. HOW does he manage to look hot all the time?! Like seriously, how is that even humanly possible ?!?! 🥵
