Originally posted by: TransferenceA subtle difference between Dev-Dhara & Dhara Shiva relationship. One is of friendship and another of reverence. The reactions are pretty clear cut to give a contrast of the equation Dhara shares with them.
Dev-Dhara
Dev mutters the word biological clock and pregnancy. Instead of lowering her eyes, Dhara just stares at Dev. Dev too lingers his gaze at the rate as if he understands her really very well and then walks away lowering his eyes. His walking away symbolic of bringing out a very sensitive matter in public. He wasn’t a shame to raise this matter with Dhara. There's no slur of his speech nor a lisp.
Dhara looks straight in Dev’s eyes.
He just breaks away from her.
Shiva-Dhara
Shiva, on the other hand, stutters; Dhara can't look him in the eye till the topic changes. She raises her eyes only when she changes at the subject, and the moment she does so, Shiva lowers his eyes. It’s so subtle that you tend to miss it if you see it in one go. I love the subtle nuances these people carry with the characters. Shiva can never look at Dhara beyond as his goddess.
Dhara is not able look at him
Shiva stutters.
She is only able to look at him when she talks about a changed topic.
He can't look at her!
On a side note, if you notice, Shiva always looks at Gautam Dhara romancing too in awe and reverence, whereas Dev always teases them. The subtle differences in their relationships are terrific and portrayed with earnest honesty!
