In all of ekta soaps, not just ekta but most soaps, it takes months if not years for the good people to realize who the bad guys are and what their real intentions are. Mahen and Nikila in todays episode did not say anything, they both looked sad, especially Nikila who is hearbroken. đIf the bad guys are found out so quickly what is the suspense in the show. đ
That is why honestly believe that Nikila is still the good person, the kundali problem is not in Shiv's it is Gauri with the problem.If you remember Nikila talking to shashank about how she planned this, she starts the flashback with asking Machan for help. She doesnt talk about the initial Shashank and Gauri meeting, if she planned this from the start, wouldnt she have told us how she called Shashank up in the first place and talked to Mahen about fixing his marraige with Gauri. đBut she starts the flashback with Machan, and if you remember Machan comes into the story after the guruji looks at the palm of Gauri's and saying he has to check her kundali. I think Guruji must have asked Nikila privately for Gauri kundali, and told her that Gauri life in grave danger, Nikila must have been shocked, upset and sad. đShe must have asked Guruji how to avoid this, he tells her to cancel her wedding with Shashank and get her married to Shiv because he will be able to protect her. Nikila doesnt tell anyone the truth because she knows that Gauri wedding with Shashank is in full swing, no one will be able to stop it, and she also knows how everyone in the family loves shiv even dadi and that they will never be able to put Gauri happiness and safety ahead of Shiv and put Shiv life in danger. đFrom the start of KAA, Nikila loves Gauri more than palak and even Shiv, so to save Gauri she must have compromised Shiv's happiness.
But I dont think Shiv knew all this or even Mahen. Nikila goes to Machan for help, he helps her. As for Shashank she must have lied to him saying that Shiv has problem in his kundali, Gauri will protect him, she gives him money to leave. Why she lied is because Machan is involved. I always thought a bit suspicious that Machan was so quick to help Nikila to trap his friend unless he was genuinely concerned. Because Machan wouldnt agree to the plan if Gauri was the problem, no matter what a scum bag Machan is he is still shiv's friend and he wouldnt want his friend to marry someone with death on their fate.đ
Now the wedding is broken, Shiv and Gauri are married.đ But on the wedding day, Shashank leaves a note for Gauri. It is either Mahen or Shiv who read it. I think it is Shiv because he must have found out this secret some how. But he doesnt tell anyone the truth either and burned the letter, because he knows how much everyone loves and trusts his mother and they would blame her. Shiv has openly admitted that his family staying together is more important to him than any truth. đShiv decides to get rid of gauri by torturing her but I dont think he took the Kundali bit seriously because at this point he is just plainly angry that he got married to someone he didnt love. đShiv starts developing feeling for Gauri, Gauri keeps having accidents, Shiv becomes suspicious of Gauri fate, and he think he is at fault because that is what he found out from Shashank.
I still have to go back to Guruji saying that only Nikila and him know the truth. Ok that is correct only she and him know the real truth, because Nikila knows she has told Machan and Shashank half truth and Devika knows as well but they all only know half truths. How Devika found out is still a question?
About Devika I am thinking she initially wanted to break this marraige for the reason of land. Deviaka dislikes Mahen because he too has a dark side, and she knows he is capable of doing this for money. When Devika truth about she being Gauri nanni came out at the party, gauri hated her and told her to leave.đ Devika is depressed, and she gives up on this plan to break this marraige and is ready to leave abroad. Why would Devika if she knew from the start that Gauri life in danger because of Shiv give up so quickly. Because we can tell she genuinely loves her grand daughter, would she give up so easily, unless she believed that Mahen wanted the land, so she thinks he can have the land as long as my grand daughter is happy. đBut Devika meets Shashank, and he tell her the truth about the Kundali. There is a new twist, and Devika is all panicky and she is even more motivated to tell Gauri the truth. That is why she calls Gauri tells her to meet Shashank immediately, how did Devika find out about the Guruji unless Shashank told her.
All in all Nikila good person, Mahen a bad guy because he had other motives we dont know yet, Shiv innocent, Gauri got kundali problem. Devika and everone has misunderstood what Nikila has done. đ
Sorry Guys to bore you. I really disected this story or more like Ekta's brain. đ
