Usne bhi mast jawaab diye🤣

I'm yet to watch the last episode. I'll probably just wait for it to give on TV. But that promo 😭...I already know I'll be heartbroken but I'm excited for the performances!

Shiva, who probably has never drunk before and knows his mother and bhabi won't like it, is drinking to drown it all out rather than addressing it. Raavi who has been fairly innocent compared to everyone else, is back to using those tags as used by society for Shiva after seeing him like this - just goes to show your surroundings and what you hear matters. Shiva is feeling ashamed about spoiling her life by marrying Raavi when we all know how they both got married. Also it's the first time he said how he felt! That's something. Raavi said he shouldn't have read the diary - perhaps giving him the impression that her old feelings are the same. I would love for her to revisit her old diaries and have a new perspective about this Dev-Shiva situation. Maybe she has him drawn in a new avatar in her newer pages? I won't even guess what'll happen because they never do anything normally.

I'm so ready for this...but I'm not!

Now let's see which brother is better😆

Good Morning everyone 🤗

Left around page 100 of the last EDT and here we are in a new thread😆 Congrats 🥳

Some scattered thoughts that came to me while watching the promo again (apologies if this was discussed after I left):

The root cause of Shiva’s pain and subsequent reaction isn’t Raavi loving someone else in past. Instead, it’s the person she was in love with and the role Shiva has played in her love story. This is why we see the two hearts with their names and Shiva being drawn as the devil in the corner of the page.

Let’s say Raavi loved someone Shiva knew at one point. He left her at the alter and Shiva ended up marrying her. Yes, it would hurt to read about him but not to the extent it does here. He would still have some hope of being able to play a huge role in her moving on.

This isn’t some stranger Raavi has written about. No, Raavi has written about her love for Dev - the brother who has always been the shining star when compared to Shiva. The brother who was always the first to speak up and reprimand Shiva at the slightest mischief, almost making it clear as day - the difference between the two of them. “I can’t behave like you.” “ I’m not filthy like you.” “I’m not a trouble maker like you.” Dev’s intentions were probably not to maliciously put Shiva down but since day one, he has shown that his habits and traits are more socially acceptable than Shiva’s. Dev also fits the quintessential Disney Prince/Prince Charming look. He is educated, a gentleman, soft spoken, can make the ladies laugh, etc... on the outside he is a complete package. He is everything Shiva is not. He is Dev - the brother with whom he shares the most complex relationship with. Not some random stranger.

Coming to Shiva and his role in their love story, Raavi made it clear from the get go that Shiva was the villain in their love story. The one whose opinion doesn’t matter. The “jhalla” who doesn’t know how matters of the heart works or how to make a girl feel the way Dev does. Every single ShiVi scene pre-leap and before the wedding ties into this promo. If we do get flashbacks, they will further solidify why Shiva feels pain so intense that it drives him to drink. He has always been the “devil” lurking in the corner (hence the corner of the page being dedicated to him). A major character in the tales of their childhood who is reduced to being the evil villain with no other significance. In the recent weeks, Shiva has seen the gentle and pure soul Raavi possesses. If she can look down upon someone and see them as being evil, what does that truly make him? Does she deserve to be with someone she considers to be so vile? Does their recent progress mean anything to her?

Shiva’s entire childhood is marked by Raavi and her memories. Ones he can’t forget but here he finds himself missing or unwanted in those memories. Or worse being the one who destroyed them. The diary probably describes those memories in ways that have no semblance to how Shiva remembers them. It tries to snatch away his childhood and those treasured memories. That itself can evoke feelings of confusion and immense pain. A squeezing pain in the chest that makes it difficult to breathe. Just look at how Yaadoon Ki Baraat describes memories. They complete us. When someone disrupts how we view those memories, it wreaks havoc inside us.

Shiva was aware of how she viewed him, but being reminded of it at a time like this breaks him! He is nothing more than an unwanted hinderance in their beautiful love story, full of unicorns and rainbows. A love story broken to pieces that he can’t even put together for her. It brings him back to reality and their situation. Their wedding night. The moment of him looking at the gifts 💔

A weird thought came to mind last night. What if it was Gaumbi-Dev in this situation (pretending they are the same age)? Yes, the brother getting married to “Raavi” would feel the weight of having to step into the gap left by his brother but in the end, he wouldn’t feel as if he ruined her life. Both are complete packages in the eyes of society. Prince Charmings in their own right. Shiva, as comfortable as he is in his skin, was always made to feel like he would never even be considered when it comes to something like that. By Raavi, by Dev, by the Kaaki’s I’m sure, by other girls coming by to the store, etc... He is comfortable being Shiva but the thought that Shiva isn’t what Raavi wants is what breaks him. Hence the dialogue.

Everything we have seen up until now with regards to Shiva, Raavi & ShiVi ties into this promo

I finally mustered up the courage to eat ripe mangoes with chilli powder. It’s not bad 🤣 And I realised that the expression Alice made while doing so wasn’t acting, you actually make it while eating that combo 🤣
