Shiv Kapoor: Freedom from an unwanted matrimony, and more recently, attain the land owned by an NGO, for which wife is the care taker..., pretend a good human, after the recent mess up in front of Gauri , for the sake of his new project.
Gauri Kapoor: Her motive is one, pretend happiness in matrimony for the sake of her Father, who is ill. More recently, do a good job of the responsibility given to her.. and now understand the motive of her husband, what with his new polite and sugar coated words thrown at her...
Devika Ji: Break the marriage of Shiv and Gauri. She tried with obvious attempts like proving Gauri bad, but it didnt work, so she tried getting Shiv in bad light, that worked wonders, Mother suspects, Gauri lost her faith ... ,now she plans to play the final game...with the bone of contention, the Land, as the the bet..
The Land , we know is too precious to Devika ji. She wont let go of it so soon, its possible setting up wife against the hubby, she is raking a new war , that will only set them apart ...
A chakravyuh , as indicated in the episode is being set , for which she knows the way out, and only she shall be able to set Gauri free , how and when, and under what circumstances are for now a figment of our imagination - Defeat , Love( of her grand daughter , or Shiv and Gauri) , or a Win...
In the episode, I belive, she does say that she dosent decide easy , but when she does, it dosent change, come hell or high waters...
May be she is risking it , the land , for Gauri, for she did show concern for the young lady, when she was sad. Devika ji is definetely aware of what Gauri is going through and she wants to end it as soon as possible. She is no evil, she is a caring woman , who has been left with no choice possibly but to resort to these hurtful tactics to get her Grand Daughter back.( I say Grand daughter , for I believe this has been shown in some SBS video and hence my basis.)
As for fate, well may devika ji and shiv will be in for a surprise that Shiv and Gauri's matrimony is forever and undeniable. Fate definetely has a way of turning the worst into the best! Dosen't it?
The game is getting interesting, everyone playing their game, unaware of the motives, assumptions galore... the other players shall come forth... from the shadows.. for now.. the game has jus begun!
