I like the nightmare scene so to show that Shivansh is past the anger that he feels towards Smita regarding abandonment. All that fills Shiv heart now is his unconditional love for Prarthana and the thought of her leaving him. I agree the person who you used to calm him down and walk of the cliff, is the one he's dreaming about losing. Exactly as you describe it. He jumps up looking for Prarthana and he knew exactly where to find her too

I really didn't see the episode as a filler but the scene of BM & Sona are too long

Absolutely...That nightmare scene is really powerful because it shows Shivansh’s emotional evolution—he’s moved past the anger and resentment he felt towards Smita to a large extent. Yeah he might still be having bitterness,complains against Smita which is fair...but it is not the centre of his world now..Now, it’s all about Prarthana—his love for her is front and center, and the fear of losing her drives him.

And yes! The way he jumps up searching for her immediately afterward shows how instinctive his attachment is now.and him finding her exactly where she was It’s almost like his heart knows exactly where she is even before his mind catches up—very telling of their bond....

(Baaki toh I now know why her name is Prarthana..she is born to stand with folded hands and pray only 😆)

Baaki yeh I also didn't think it was filler exactly..but yes totally agree on BM & Sonalika—their scenes feel stretched, especially after such an intense, intimate moment with Shivansh’s inner turmoil. They slow down the pacing a bit too much...

And the acting of the actress playing Sonalika is not helping....she needs to work on her voice modulation asap ...you don't always need to scream at the top of your voice to show that you are angry...😆..

Exactly.

But I feel Smita has a soft heart for her now. She might help her. But she will demand her to return to Shivansh. Because Smita during sniper scenario probably realized PraShiv both love and care each other and she had a smile on her face when Shivansh fell on Prarthana. And now she says hamari Prarthana and if she faced a similar problem in her past she might help her.

I don’t now what to say about Prarthana. When I start liking her for her strength and courage and kindness. She lets people walk over her and makes us sad. Seems never cared about Prarthana. Therefore she was getting money to get her married to that Bhavesh and Prarthana had heard that on the day she learned she is not Parikh’s biological daughter.

I disappointed in Gayatri if she could atleast stand up for her sister like before. Go tell your jiju the truth about your sister. Tell your mother off.

Smita 's character has always had layers, and that sniper track really worked beautifully at her softening toward Prarthana.

Seeing prarthana who did not show an iota of fear in front of their gun...and did everything and anything possible to save Shivansh ,Shivansh instinctively protect her and the way their bond shows in those small moments probably made her realize just how deep their love is. That smile she had—it wasn’t just amusement, it was recognition even approval. And she actually sent them blessings...

And after that she immediately accepted Prarthana and started loving her as her daughter -in-law... forgetting her own bias and opinions regarding her...

That's what makes her a better mother than BM in this matter...for Smita his son's happiness is priority and she knows it lies with Prarthana only...

I hope they actually show Smita trying to compensate to Shivansh like this... earlier Smita had to leave and it damaged Shivansh so much that even in his adulthood he is a still a man shaped by abandonment,molded by betrayal, driven by bitterness ....and now with Prarthana 's unconditional love, selfless care he is beginning to heal....and if she is snatched away from him then he would be destroyed to an irreparable extent ..and I hope Smita would understand that and would not let it happen....

And Shivansh also needs to know that her mother loves him ..he is not unworthy of true unconditional love....and he still loves his mother a lot...and he deserves to get a proper moment of love and affection from her...

@ red well said and exactly

she accepted Prarthana as her bahu in that moment from her heart and sent them blessings. Something she does not do openly but from bottom of her heart.

@ green I hope so as well. It would be nice for Smita to come into the picture and show she cares and show her fight for her son’s happiness. She should try to create scenarios where they meet up. I know mandir scene would be cliche but Janmasthami is coming up and then Ganesh chaturthi festival . Maybe she can ask shastriji to send Prarthana for puja or something and she invites Shivansh as she trying to mend ways and they meet.

Shivansh deserves to know the real truth. He needs to see his mom’s love for him and she he deserves it all and much more. He needs few good scenes with Smita. And few of PraShiv scenes with Smita.

Smita should buyout Seema alimony wish.

Was the divorce papers fully signed. Notice that Shivansh got to the last page and left it unsigned.

Nope

I think Prarthana’s only signed first page because BM went to Look for a pen.

On a fun note...

PraShiv is such a made for eachother couple lol...

Shivansh said..."Raaj karo...main chahta hu ki tum Raaj karo"

Cut to Prarthana asked for alimony 😆...kitni baat Manti hai uska

Still Shivansh said ki "tum meri koi baat nahi sunti...nahi maanti"😆😆

Yep they are . I also love their dialogues

Especially their nok jhok scenes.

PraShiv have come along way from where he for first time at reception danced with her like she was just a katputli and he didn’t care about her feelings to where now all he cares about is her. He cannot see tears in her eyes.

For her now he is her whole world.

For first time in Indian tv history PraShiv are truely unique and different from all the couples on Indian tv. Best couple made on tv.

I don’t think Shivansh will believe she is asking for it herself.

I just hope Gayatri takes a stand for her sister. YouTube had a Seema day video with Gayatri and Prarthana with Seema. So she is here for few scenes.

I wonder where Prarthana’s baba is? He will be happy to see her.

I know what you mean...the way they are showing Prarthana getting humiliated, ill-treated ,shouted by BM and Sonalika.and her standing there crying and allowing this to happen..is just so so irritating..and triggering...last night I felt very sad ... almost depressed But now after few hours when I am again thinking of it..I actually can get it..it hasn't gone down to the level where I can't understand or connect with her....

See in the past/recent past episodes, Prarthana’s strength was never about defying the world for herself; it was always about protecting, standing up for, and defending the people she loved, Shivansh above all. In her earlier battles—against SM, Raunak, Payal, Sonalika—her courage was an extension of her love for him, a reflection of her refusal to let anyone harm what she held sacred. She was bold, fierce, unyielding—but always rooted in purpose, in the clarity of who she was fighting for.

Now, after deciding on the divorce, that clarity has fractured. Shivansh was not just a part of her life—he was her life. Her identity, her sense of self, her very existence had revolved around being his wife, his partner, his anchor. With the divorce looming, it’s as if the center of her universe has been ripped away. She is no longer “Prarthana the wife of Shivansh”—she’s Prarthana the woman whose world is crumbling, whose only point of reference has been lost. And when a person loses the one axis around which they’ve always spun, even the strongest hearts can feel suddenly fragile.

So yes, her meekness now, her silence in the face of others’ misbehavior, is not weakness in the usual sense. It’s vulnerability—the raw, human response of someone whose identity has been destabilized. She’s not ignoring her strength; it’s still there, buried deep. But right now, it’s buried under grief, under the pain of impending separation, under the loss of the very role that gave her life purpose.

I mean she literally said yesterday in temple that she hadn't thought of anyone else but only Shivansh while signing divorce...It’s a pause, a quiet surrender—not permanent, just a momentary(I really hope 😆)reflection of how much she loved, and still loves, Shivansh....

Damn how did I forget that Prarthana even threaten to scratch Sona eyes out if she came close to Shiv and how she didn't want her around him
