Hiiiiiiii everyone

Thank you so much, everyone, for remembering me here. 💙

I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again—you all are truly such sweet and kind souls❤️

As for me, I recently had another bout of high fever along with some other complications.and because I was still in the process of healing from my earlier illness, this new setback left me feeling quite weak, drained, and fragile. It was difficult, both physically and emotionally, to go through this phase while I hadn’t yet regained my full strength from last sickness.

But today, by God’s grace and with the positivity I receive from all , I’m feeling better.

and here I am. 🌸....and yeah I know we are in the last phase of the show and I will be here as much as I can.....and yeah I will be giving update also from tonight 🤣..... though nothing is happening in the show I know

Once again,thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️

I'm praying for good health and full recovery

It just wasn't the same without you here and not seeing your import on Namik being humble with last interview with Pranali, the man is a true a star in everyway

Once again we were served with Namik subtle emotional scene and again Namik portrayal of Shivansh Randhawa, was a tailored made and he delivers with ease

I have not seen the last three episodes properly..I just watched few clips here and there....and I have to say one thing.I will watch today

I have tried my best to not let this show weigh so heavily on me, but today I’ll admit it—I’m deeply disappointed with how they’re ending this story. What aches the most is Shivansh’s arc with his mother. His entire life, his wounds, his fears, even his very bond with Prarthana, were born out of that one primal abandonment. PraShiv was formed because of Smita and Raunak—the cracks left by his mother’s absence and the shadow of his broken childhood. And yet… we are being robbed of the one thing that could have completed his story: a heart-to-heart conversation, a reunion, some fragile but healing closure.

The thought that Shivansh will never get to look into his mother’s eyes and release all the pain he has carried since he was five years old—it genuinely breaks my heart. Closure was never about a perfect apology; it was about the boy within him finally being heard. To abandon that thread feels like abandoning the very soul of his character.

And then there’s PraShiv themselves.The love I feel for these two is immense...I adore Namik and Pranali, and their chemistry is one of those rare, magical things that breathes life into even the weakest of scripts. But I cannot deny what’s been staring at us lately: PraShiv’s essence has been diluted. Instead of depth, we are being served recycled conflicts and recycled scenes. Pointless misunderstandings, Prarthana running after one “plan,” Shivansh delivering those passionate lines that stab us in the heart, but without the story giving him any new dimension. He cries, she hides, and the cycle repeats.

Where are their new memories? Their quiet conversations that pierce deeper than any storm? Where is the intimacy of two souls who have carried each other through fire and deserve tenderness at last? Instead of gifting us these jewels, they are recycling old scenes—like the story is no longer being written for the characters, but only for parallel edits and fan montages. It feels hollow, like a beautiful painting being photocopied until the colors fade.

I love PraShiv. I love them because Prarthana and Shivansh had the potential to be one of the most hauntingly beautiful love stories on screen. And Namik and Pranali gave everything to these roles—their chemistry alone can light up an empty room. But when the writing refuses to honor that depth, when it keeps circling back to clichés instead of moving forward, you cannot help but feel something is missing.

And that’s what hurts the most: that we’re saying goodbye not to what PraShiv could have been, but to a diluted shadow of it. 💔

I know it is very disappointing and if you see sundays episode we will feel Shivansh pain. Poor guy loves his mom so much. I would suggest you see it.

Asmita wishing you a speedy recovery and please take rest, drink plenty of water and eat properly and don’t let stress and heartache for the show make your health worse as weather is changing.

I know it’s heartbreaking how they are ending the show . But health comes first dear so please don’t let this hurt your health. We will write proper ending for the show.

For Shivansh his mom is and was his world and today his heartache was louder than Prarthana getting hurt for him. It shows his love for his mom.

Cv’s Ekta this is not a proper ending.

Do watch tonites episode ,there’s an upcoming talk of Shivansh regarding prathna talking about this

Yeah but the issue is it shouldn't have been Prarthana but his mother Smita herself talking to Shivansh. The guy came for badla against the mother who abandoning him and with show ending there's not mother in sight but that vile and selfish BM

Ahhh.... Thank you so much for your prayers and good wishes! for your kindness and care...It means a lot to me.❤️

Namik as Shivansh is nothing short of a phenomenon.

The character could so easily have been ruined in someone else’s hands—because Shivansh is layered, contradictory, messy, scarred, insecure, yet deeply loving. He was a man broken by his childhood, stitched together by pride, carrying abandonment like a second skin. To play him requires not just good acting but an instinctive understanding of pain, of silence, of love that hides behind walls.

And Namik… he lives it. He doesn’t just act Shivansh—he becomes him. Every flicker of his eyes carries a storm, every pause between words tells a story of years of unspoken grief, every tear feels like it has been pulled from the deepest corner of a man’s soul. His silences roar, his anger shakes, his vulnerability breaks you into pieces.

❤️❤️Thanks ....

Exactly.... Prarthana talking..but the issue is it shouldn't have been Prarthana but his mother Smita herself talking to Shivansh.so are they gonna bring so called "closure" with Prarthana 's words only....?

And regarding PraShiv scenes,I know I would like it..That’s the paradox of PraShiv. One good scene—just one deep, emotional, intimate moment between them—and suddenly everything else melts away. The world fades, the flaws in writing disappear, and we are right back in that magic, as if nothing ever went wrong. Because that’s what Namik and Pranali bring to the table—they make us believe, they make us feel. Their chemistry is so raw, so alive, that even a single look, a single handhold, feels like poetry.

But here’s the thing… does it change the reality? No. It doesn’t erase the fact that we’ve been short-changed. It doesn’t erase the missed opportunities, the recycled tracks, the way Shivansh’s arc with his mother was abandoned, or how PraShiv’s story was reduced to endless misunderstandings instead of being given the depth they deserved.

And yet… because of PraShiv, because of Namik and Pranali, we still cling. Because they make even crumbs look like a feast. They give life to lines that should have been ordinary, they turn stolen glances into galaxies, they make one hug feel like the entire world has stilled.

Exactly—that’s the heartbreaking part. Shivansh’s entire arc, his emotional core, was built around his abandonment by Smita, the woman who should have been the axis of his childhood pain, the reason he learned to shield himself from love and vulnerability. His identity, his scars, his mistrust, even his love for Prarthana—they all trace back to her absence.

And yet, instead of giving him that heart-to-heart, cathartic confrontation with his mother, the narrative sidelines her entirely. Smita, the woman who shaped the man we fell in love with, is erased, while Bua Maa—the schemer, manipulative, selfish—remains center stage. It feels like the story robbed him of his closure, the very emotional resolution he—and we—deserved.

Prarthana’s presence, as much as we adore her devotion and intelligence, can’t replace that missing emotional lineage. She can support him, love him, even fight for him—but the original wound, the source of his deepest pain, remains unresolved. It’s like building a castle over a cracked foundation; the structure might look beautiful, but the core is unstable.

This misstep doesn’t just weaken Shivansh’s ending—it undermines the very emotional gravity that made PraShiv special. We were promised depth, catharsis, and a reckoning with the past—but instead, the narrative shortcut gave us recycled misunderstandings, manipulations, and missed opportunities. For a character whose soul was defined by maternal abandonment, that absence is felt as a profound loss—not just for him, but for us as viewers who invested in his journey.

It would have been Smita if the cvs and nagpal were not Sonalika and vamp obsessed.

They had a month to show this and that would have been sufficient. 1-2 Sonalika kand and her parents upset and trying to ruin his business. Smita coming saving her son and telling world he is my son and fighting for him and Shivansh and his mom’s reunion when he learns the truth. Shivansh and Prarthana coming to Zaveri house. And him being accepted with open arms in Zaveri house. Raunak could have been shown to realize his moms pain and understand Shivansh pain and him going away so Shivansh can get his mom back.

Thank you so much for your kind words and concern. 💛 Your love and support mean a lot. I promise to take care of myself, rest properly, stay hydrated, and not let stress take over...

And I know even though I am disappointed I know that I should not take stress about it and let it affect my health in a negetive way specially for a show whose writers are not honouring it's characters...so rest assured that is not going to happen ...

And yes I would write the Smita arc closure for sure otherwise I am not going to get peace 🤣

Lol i knew it they will show bm as a vamp 🤣 very predictible by makers
