The animosity begins! EPI 14

I did not want to write anything on Sunday's episode but then changed my mind.

My favorite Rithik and shivanya scenes are from the first episode: when rithik sees shivanya for the first time, and the firefly moment. In fact, all their interactions at the haveli hold a special place in my heart because that is when I truly saw how magical shivanya and Rithik's Jodi is. For me, no other scenes created that kind of magic until the Pooja scene in yesterday's episode. There was something so pure and intimate about it. Shivanya finally let her guard down and SMILED when rithik asked her to hold his arm while he offers flowers to the shivling, she was shy and even blushed at a few instances. Both looked like the quintessential married couple standing side by side while performing the pooja.

The most heart-touching dialogues came from Shivanya herself; eyes filled with overwhelming emotions of love and sadness, she earnestly told rithik she hopes he gets everything he desires. Rithik did not let her finish and instead, prays for BOTH of them and that my friends, sealed Rivanya's Fate. No matter what circumstances this pooja was performed under, it took place for a reason and I know the future is laden with thorns, but these two will always be come out together. Only hope is that writers do justice to their relationship and their journey. This entire scene was one of the best and most memorable Rivanya moment till date.

Bhairavnath and Shesha did not look pleased at all, perhaps because they noticed shivanya is becoming attached to rithik. Shesha especially, looked angry but I hope it is because of the same reason and nothing to do with past life love or whatever, as that would be most disappointing and underwhelming revelation ever. Just like shivanya, she was wronged too but did Suri harm her in any way? Why was there so much anger and ruthlessness while she tortured him? It cannot possibly be anger on behalf of shivanya. Or maybe someone was right when they said she is shivanya's grandmother, it explains her concern towards her and her anger. I don't know what else to say as I'm running out of ideas and why is bhairavnath so hell bent on revenge? Please writers, at least unravel some of the mysteries even if you are planning to extend the show.

Shivanya willingly helped rithik put on a dhoti but oh my god, were his dialogues suggestive or what? Nothing about them was subtle.

Shesha poisoned rithik because she did not want them to go to the yagya, I don't think her intention was to kill him but that is definitely not her long term plan. She still poisoned the wrong person and hit a raw nerve in shivanya. If not love, atleast shivanya has come to deeply care for rithik for his goodness and now the claws are going to come out as seen in the precap.

That's it for now, thanks for reading. please like or comment

Love your take as always...

I loved that Mandir scene and also the precap. Shivanya cares for Rithik very deeply. Soon she is going to reach a phase where her revenge might take a back seat... especially towards Anky!! But I think Shivanya is already in too deep with Rithik. We will know in the next episode how his poisoning and bad dream will impact Shivanya and make her realize her feelings for Rithik.

Yes, i think her revenge may take a back seat due to shesha's attacks or something else? sesha may not attack rithik if she sees that it is distracting shivanya from her mission but then again, shesha has an agenda as well and she is not going to stop just because shivanya is not making her revenge a priority.

In the olv, shivanya says she needs to go to the devdi to unravel the mystery but that is not a part of her revenge, so she is doing it because she is concerned for rithik.

Sesha and Bhairavnath can see this coming and they are not happy. I have a feeling that he and Sesha have a bigger revenge plan than what Shivanya is actually aware of... and Rithik is going to be the victim in their game. Have a feeling that Guruma would sense the goodness in Shivanya and would help her in the future.

I don't know...sometimes I think even guruma is a negative character. but it is interesting how everytimes she tries to attack, shesha is in harms way not shivanya. wonder why that is.

The biggest mystery to me is Sudha Chandran. She is such a versatile actor who can convincingly go from an abla naari to a vamp in seconds... wonder what EK has in store for her!!

yes! is she just a paranoid mother or is there something more.

thanks for commenting, loved reading your take😊

I actually liked sunday's episode more than saturday tbh. Felt like there was more happenings in sunday's episode.

As for bhairavnath (kudos to you for getting his name! I just thought he was a nameless priest LOL!), I think he's just also really invested in this entire story because of the background. I mean, it kinda makes sense logically. Firstly, I think any crazy devotee of any God would get mightily pissed if someone stole something of the God. And on top of that, the stealers committed murders of other fellow devotees, Shivanya's parents -- so it's already kind of like a personal attack. And finally, all those things considered, it's also implied that he had a close connection with Shivanya's parents -- didn't he warn them and tell them to run away when Anky and co. first entered the mandir? So really, I think Bhairavnath's investment in this whole revenge saga makes sense. Not only will his friends and fellow devotees get their revenge, but Shiva would also get his gem back. Idk, it makes sense to me.

Makes sense, he was probably close to shivanya's parents, then the naagmani was stolen from a sacred place and shivji's ardent devotees were killed. he probably took it is as a personal insult. so I guess it makes sense. still the expressions are OTT

Talking about Sesha, she still confuses me. She definitely cares for Shivanya's well-being. And honestly, I think her and Bhairavnath's concern over Shivanya falling for Hritik is because Hritik is a human and apparently nagins lose their power when they fall in love with humans -- they don't want that for Shivanya. Shivanya, although in danger because of her nagin-ness, is also quite well equipped to defend herself in other situation because of the protection her nagin-powers give her. I think they don't want Shivanya to lose that with her powers. But back to Sesha, again while I think she cares for Shivanya, I'm becomming doubtful that she's related to Shivanya? When she mentioned some dialogue about Shivanya not having a family, she didn't even refer to herself. Idk. For some reason, I just think that Sesha is consumed with vengeance for her previous lover -- probably killed by Hritik's lookalike ancestor. That explains her 100yrs tapasya to become a nagin and also explains her hatred of their entire Raheja clan. I bet she probably doesn't even know that the real Raheja's are all dead (assuming that's the ancestral name of Hritik's REAL family and that Anky assumed that name once he became rich in order to take over the property Hritik inherited). She probably thinks that Anky and co. are the real Raheja's and hence wants to kill them all to finish the entire clan.

I don't think shesha is related to shivanya, her anger stems from the injustice done to her by the same people who wronged shivanya as well. Their end goal and mutual hate for the raheja's formed a bond between them. Perhaps she cares for shivanya because they knew eachother for a long time. it is possible shesha looked the same as she does now as a result of 100 years tapasya. she then met 5 year old shivanya and looked after like a older sister. yet, I don't see an emotional connect between them but I guess there is no room for emotions in front of their revenge.

I think in an OLV posted recently, Hritik has another nightmare with snakes. I'm assuming that Sesha's doing that and Shivanya is unaware of Sesha's past with the Raheja's. I mean, if Sesha really wanted to, she could kill all the Raheja's in a second without another thought. But she's semi-*respecting* Shivanya and only targetting the 5 murderers (for now). For some reason, I strongly believe that the Sesha vs Shivanya conflict will take place when majority of the 5 gem killers are killed. And I also feel like Sesha will be the one to reveal Shivanya's nagin truth to Hritik -- probably in an effort to separate the two.

no, Rithik had a nightmare that he was wearing a royal outfit and someone killed him in that devdi. it could his ancestor, him from previous birth or his father. I still remember how anky almost freaked out when rithik joked whether he is hiding a dead body in the devdi.

Anyways, enjoyed reading your take Zara and sorry for just rambling in my post LOL.

thanks for commenting.😃

You nailed it...

Totally agree...

The scene at the temple was really poignant...For me that was the scene changer...Shivanya's relationship with Rithik is sealed...Gosh..Rithik is so cute, his dialogue delivery (agreed very suggestive) has so much charm...

it was indeed very poignant and very well acted by mouni.

Rithik is a cutie for sure, which makes me feel even worse for what is happening with him.

For me every character is being portrayed beautifully. The big mystery other than the identify of the 5th person is why Shesha and Bairavanath hell bent on the revenge...They are brutal too in their quest for revenge.

so far the story is going well but who knows what will happen once they extend it. I love the characters and the mystery elements , makes the show very gripping.
