Now coming to my main point.. I predicted this to happen.. I knew Shiv knew about the plan. But like I stated earlier, he did warn Gauri ahead of time. He again warned her today but I guess it's too late now as Gauri is head over heels in love with him now. But I wouldn't be disheartened to hear Shiv say that he doesn't love Gauri. It's a fact and he is being truthful and honest by saying so. However, what transpires afterwards is my primary focus here. His care for her, his thinking of her best interest always.. His guilt, his protection of her, his tears, his sighs..everything screams out his love for her.. "Keisay Kah doon Kay hamara ye rishta itefaq nahi tha, balkay ek sochi samjhi chaal thi, jiska hissa main bhi tha..." Yes, he was a part of it.. he was the groom ofcourse.. Had to be a part of it.. But he didn't orchestrate this whole evil plan, I am sure of that!!!
His saying "leiken bas ab mujh se aur saha nahi jaata. Tum per (Gauri per) koi khilwar karay, ab nahi saha jaata.." C'mon Shiv, wake up and smell the roses already (I intentionally replaced "smell the coffee" idiom here. Roses symbolize love more in their essence đ).. You are in love dammit!! Love is fairly subjective.. For some, it's spending time with others, for some its what happens @ first sight.. But for a lot, its what blossoms from mutual care and respect.. Shiv's very helpless state of mind, his saying "ab kya karoon main.." The guy's madly in love but just not realizing it. In true Ekta style, there has to be a billion more misunderstandings before Shiv & Gauri can be finally together.
I believe Shiv believes that love happens @ first sight.. Hence, his obsession with the girl in the picture whom he never met, spoke to, or even got to know about! She took his breath away in one moment and that lingering influence of hers still haunts him. But in due time, he will be in for a rude awakening.. He better be.. After all, Shiv-Gauri are meant to be! Love @ first sight is all good and stuff but you live your life with an actual person, just not a figment of your imagination. Even if the girl in the picture becomes a reality, I am sure Shiv would realize how madly in love with Gauri he is. After all, "yehi wo jageh hai jahan Gauri ka karam shuru hua tha.. " & we all know that "yeh Gauri sirf apney Shiv ki hai" đ
Sorry for this being such a long post but I had to vent đ
Sana~
P.S Men normally take a longer while to understand love on average.. đ
