What's so bad about the precap?

It could be deceiving

But it seems like Shivansh is going to fall in evil trio trap and misunderstand Prarthana or he is just misunderstanding her.

Are they going to waste rest of episodes on misunderstanding till last 2 days or another week on it?

Same lol

Plan is too stupid.

I upset with cvs for taking away Shivansh smartness and showing him make Prarthana spill the beans with all this flirting. He definitely can show he is hurting. When he told her she has become his jaan. He let his heart all out and feel for his itnu se ladki.

And this Mr. Randhawa could have said if you really wanted my money you could have just asked I would have given it to you. So what is your real reason.

I can imagine Seema coming up with this plan because she doesn't know Shivansh, she must have thought this would be enough to buy them some time, and Prarthana will give it back to the vamps and expose them.

But I expected better from Prarthana, who knows Shivansh, knows about his trauma, and who knows how desperate he was to make her stay with him. If she thinks this will test his loyalty and how he will support her, she's wrong. The test, by default, is wrong.

He said plenty of hurtful stuff today itself. I don't see anything to be super disappointed.

Precap was mostly Prarthana giving it back to the vamps, and we know that even after their bedroom conversation (or before it), there will be the earring scene.

But maybe I'm being too optimistic 🤷🏿‍♀️

Call me a Shivansh apologist but Prarthana's alimony plan is stupid, especially when she knows about his past trauma and the circumstances of their marriage. Realistically speaking, there is no logic in Prarthana accepting their marriage and being devoted to Shivansh. The only explanation is that Prarthana is nice, pure by heart. The alimony talk removes that goodness and makes her look like an opportunist. Why in the world did she choose to play along...

Also,Shivansh, you beautiful hypocrite. He was completely straight-faced when he was talking about people only acknowledging their pain. My guy, that's exactly what you do. Open your eyes.

On a lighter note, he was way too comfortable holding her in his arms. The way he lowered her to look for the rat, the way he kept changing positions...no matter what he said, he would have happily stayed like that for the entire night

It’s not about being a Shivansh apologist but the plan is flawed not including him in on it. Seema plan to get past BM had to be crazy to work and it did. I’m sorry but Shivansh can’t be trusted to not get manipulated by BM, he is strong in other ways in the business game but not kitchen politics. Look at how many things that happened with Prarthana and Shivansh is around yet clueless cause he believes BM. I’m with Gayatri in being disappointed of him signing and allowing Prarthana and ladies to make the divorce decision

I wouldn’t say low budget yeah the channel isn’t a big or available every where but it has an audience. Ekta first show Prem Bandhan, didn’t look low budget and the cast was fine. Dangal TV, is growing in the entertainment world. There shows were nominated at ITA and recognized on GEC.. Also that channel doesn’t allow tracks to drag forever, I like some of their shows

I am glad then. We need some shows which are feel good but also not a drag fest like rishta/anupamaa or any other never ending show

1000% agreed.

She knows about Shivansh past trauma and the impact it has on him and even though they are not showing us his nightmares anymore does not mean he is over his mommy issues. The traumas the insecurities are there. He even saw a nightmare of someone taking Prarthana away from him.

He found a sense of security in Prarthana and instead of showing her trust in him and telling him the truth she doing dumb stuff. The guy let his whole heart out front of you. He loves you so much. He wears his heart on his sleeves. He found his home , security, love and care all in one place in form of Prarthana.

They should have ended Sonalika track awhile back.

But no they are showing us bs. I hope she disappears in 3-4 episodes.

Yet to watch the ep but I completely agree with this. And no we’re not Shivansh apologists for saying it.. any normal person with 2 functioning brain cells can see the truth. It’s downright foolish on Prarthana’s part to keep hiding so much from Shivansh!

Yes I get that in her head it’s all “for his good, for their betterment,” but where’s the trust? Where’s the understanding? She always acts on what she feels is right.. whether it was the whole “I’m khatra for you” drama back then or now this alimony mess. What she doesn’t realize is how deeply she ends up hurting him each time, playing with his emotions, while their relationship is still shaky,.built on doubts and complications instead of trust and clarity 😮‍💨

Ohhhh

So am I....I am completely with Shivansh on this...I can sympathize,empathize and feel for him...

As Shivansh had said earlier....

The very thought of Prarthana returning made his heart surge with uncontainable joy. He had imagined her presence threading back into his life, the world becoming a little lighter, a little more alive with her near. Just the knowledge that she was back ignited a rush of exhilaration—he felt he could run, leap, and throw himself into her arms, letting go of all the years of grief, betrayal, and isolation he had carried. For a fleeting moment, the universe seemed to right itself.

Then the truth pierced him like a knife: she had come not for him, not for the fragile, sacred bond they shared, but for money. Alimony. The very thought made something within him shatter. It was not mere disappointment—this was the death of a hope he had nurtured so carefully, a hope that she would be here for him, as she had always been, as she had become the heartbeat of his life. His chest tightened, and a hollow ache spread through him. Something inside him “died,” a visceral recognition that even the possibility of being loved had been replaced, in his mind, by transactional necessity.

Today...Shivansh’s voice, rough yet trembling, carried the weight of a lifetime of scars and the fragility of a trust he had spent decades before rebuilding. Shivansh knew, with every fiber of his being, that trust had never come easily to him. The child who had been abandoned at five had learned early that love could not be relied upon, that goodness was fleeting. Prarthana had painstakingly, tenderly, given him that gift back—the gift of believing in people, in love, in a world that could hold him gently...and now...

Prarthana is not even realising that bcz of her stupid plan ....she is breaking him to what extent....and for what reason...a plan jiska koi sir-pair hi nahin hai 🤣

It ruins the essence of Prarthana's character and the bond they share that she doesn't see how it is breaking him. Yes, she told Seema and Gayatri that woh toot rahe hai, but she still plays along because...what is she hoping to achieve, that her act will make vamps stumble and Shivansh will see the truth?

Honestly, if I was writing this story, I would give Prart another dose of dukh dard kasht as, after the reveal, Shivansh tells her exactly how stupid it was and gives her the silent treatment. Would have made for a good separation story.

When I wanted her to confront him about him not trusting her on the EMA issue, she didn't, but now she is doing the strong woman act 🙄

I so want those shows to end soon. Especially Anupama. I have heard story is a mess and it is not following the original version.

There are few other shows I want them to go off air soon but I don’t think it will happen anytime soon.
