I think I figured out the raaz

Well this is what I think based on the facts so far:

Shiv is in love with the portrait girl whom he had met when she was 14.

He seems to not know who she is because he is always speaking about her in the third person even to Ipshita. So I dont think it is Ipshi.

He has a dosh in his kundali by which his life is under threat unless he marries someone with strong kundali like Gauri. This is why he keeps getting the recurring nightmare of someone (may be death) chasing him. But by helping shiv, gauri's kundali is weakened and she will die.

After she dies, he will come to know who is the person in the portrait. So he will be able to marry this girl and be happy. This is his 'khushi' as referred by his mom.

Now comes the trick Nikhila is planning to play. She is planning to reveal Ipshi as the portrait girl after all this. For this she needs some one's (perhaps Ipshi's mother's) help. Shiv as of now does not know that Ipshi will be shown as the portrait girl. He thinks that divine providence will reveal the girl to him after Gauri dies. I think therefore nobody knows who the portrait girl is but Nikhila is making sure that Shiv believes it is Ipshi. Ipshi may also be aware of Nikhila's design and is a willing party because she loves Shiv.

Shiv is feeling guilty because he may have agreed to the marriage only because he wanted to find his love (the portrait girl) and that is not possible till he marries gauri and lets her die. But after the marriage he felt guilty and tried to get rid of her. But unfortunately for him she fell in love with him and is refusing to leave.

Nikhila and Shiv know that if she comes to know that he married her and put her life in threat only for the selfish reason of finding who the protrait girl is then she may leave him. This will affect Nikhila's plan. Shiv may also be unhappy that he cannot find his love but is willing to make that sacrifice but Nikhila is not about to give up her plan to bring Ipshi into his life. That is why she is blackmailing him into not revealing the truth.

Do I make sense?

man u r a mastermind......wow 😛 .....but i dont think gauri will die..yeh but the motive behind all this cld be true

noo gouri cant die she is kind of like the main charachter so she wont die for sure. 😊

good theory, i think nikila keeps talking about his kushi, i think his kushi is linked to that portrait and ipshita. i just hope shiv is not in love with ipshit because that would totally suck. 🤢

your prediction is much much better that want we all were discussing b4. very good. lets all hope for the best.

Good theory!!! Hope Shiv doesn't marry Ipshita though... even though that is what all of the articles are pointing to

No Shiv will not marry Ipshi. Most probably they may show consummation of the marriage (thanks to some more tricks by nikhila) and Shiv leaving the house out of guilt for putting Gauri in real danger. Remember Guruji said they (Shiv and Gauri) need to be one for Shiv's dosh to go.

Gauri will get pregnant. This will save her life because the baby will bring good luck to her. (Guruji and Nikhila may not have foreseen this).

Shiv may return sometime later when he realises he cannot live without Gauri and would be happy to know that both their lives are spared. But Ipshi will try her level best to break them apart. I think this is where the extra marital affair will enter the picture. Ipshi may trick Shiv into sleeping with her. This will cause fresh tensions between Shiv and Gauri.

Well, I think I should stop here. I have really let my imagination run wild over the course of the story for the next one year.

Kekta may change the entire thing and may even decide to kill Shiv since IQ is leaving. Although I'm sure none of us would want that.

Even I thought story would go this way. Then after 4-5 months of torture ekta will show us that Shiv didnot actually slept with Ipshi, but it was all a chaal from her side... We can actually see all this coming... Why do I watch these serials?????😕

I know these serials are torture, but we still watch them. What can we do it is the human norm to always torture ourselves. Ekta is going to ruin this shiv-gauri jodi by separating them. Then we shall shed many tears and curse ekta. 😭

I know dear... I am actually feeling depressed this weekend thinking abt this serial and the seperation of Shiv-Gauri in the coming weeks. I cant see gauri's tears anymore. I have never taken any other serial this seriously. 😭
