The room got burnt and everything in it as well, including Shiv's precious portrait, I suppose. So, what happens now?
Does it mean that the pic is no longer important to Shiv? Notice the fact that Shiv was intent on saving only Gauri. He'd forgotten all abt the picture. I think that is highly significant.
I think it means dreams no longer have a place in his life. Reality matters more now....in other words, Gauri matters more to him than the memory of a girl whom he hasn't even met.
What do u ppl think?
