Shiv Shakti 23rd December 2023 Written Episode Update on worldofentertainment.in
Dr Shiv inquires with Shakti about her thoughts, to which she responds that they align with the contents of his letter. Her words leave Shiv taken aback. Although not a doctor, Shakti empathizes with his emotions as she ponders the difference between being a healer and a higher power. Upon hearing this, Shiv confirms if it is indeed what she gathered from his letter. Meanwhile, Mandira realizes the need to intervene before their conversation goes further. She gestures to Rimjhim, signaling towards Shiv and Shakti. Additionally, she brings Koyal along to join them as she mentions that everyone has been searching for him.
Shiv explains that he needs to discuss something important with Shakti, but both pull them away. Shiv once again tells Rimjhim that he wants to talk about something important with Shakti, but Dadi says he only wants to speak to Shakti now. Nandu explains that the girls were tensed to leave their families, but their brother became a stranger to them in their own house, and everyone laughed.
The dance performance starts with Bua’s solo, joined by the rest of the family, who thoroughly enjoy themselves. As Shiv spots a chance to talk to Shakti, Mandira intervenes again, urging him to keep dancing. Yet Shiv is determined to converse with Shakti and eventually succeeds in pulling her away from the performance. He asks her if she read his letter and how she could say what she did. Dadi then checks in to see if everyone has applied Haldi to the bride and groom before officially announcing the end of the function.
Shakti approaches Dadi and explains that the Haldi ceremony is not yet over. Dadi inquires about the issue, and Shakti clarifies that the function is ongoing. Ignoring the curious stares of others, Shakti retrieves the bowl of Haldi. She then approaches Shiv’s mother, who is standing in a corner. Expressing her thoughts, she questions how the ritual can be finished without Shiv’s mother participating. Shiv joins Shakti by her side as Gayatri watches on with a smile. However, she also notices Raghunath’s displeasure and remembers his warning about causing any disruptions during the ceremony.
She looks at Dadi, who also signals her to complete the ritual. Shiv notices that she is tensed, so he assures her everything will be fine. She then rubbed the Haldi on Shakti and then rubbed the Haldi on Shiv. Raghunath and Mandira are furious at seeing it, but Shiv wipes Gayatri’s tears off her face before hugging her. Shiv asks Shakti to come, and they both leave. Mandira cannot witness their melodrama because she cannot attend.
Ragunath slowly walks to stand in front of Gayatri, saying he warned her to keep her away. He wipes off the Haldi from her hands, mentioning that everyone is watching. When Ketan mentions Shakti already knows the truth, Mandira leaves angrily, leaving Ketan wondering what is happening in her mind when she says it cannot happen because she will refuse to let Shiv reveal his secret to her.
Shiv wants to discuss something significant with Shakti, but Rimjhim interrupts by asking for a selfie. Shiv then interrupts her, telling her the selfie can wait because what he has to discuss with Shakti is crucial. Shakti agrees to hear him out and asks what is on his mind. Shiv reveals that he was unable to save someone during surgery and now has a fear of blood, which has prevented him from performing any surgeries. He feels like he has lost his self-confidence and wonders if he can be a good person due to the self-hatred in his heart.
Shakti expresses her increased respect for him and suggests that they refrain from treating each other in this manner. She adds that he should also learn to forgive himself. Shiv, taken aback, asks if this is the same advice she read in the letter given to him by Nandu. Shakti clarifies that it is his past and the truth. Shiv adamantly denies this, stating that neither is it his past nor the truth. The tension between them is palpable as Mandira observes their conversation. To clarify things, Shiv asks Shakti to listen attentively as he wants to convey something without any misunderstandings. He assures her that he will not resort to writing letters but will speak clearly so there are no doubts, and she can hear and believe him.
Shiv reveals that the biggest secret of his life involves Gauri. Despite committing a crime that went unpunished, he is ready to talk about it with Dadi. When she asks for more information, Shiv requests a moment to discuss something important with her. Dadi invites Shakti to join them, but he returns to Dr. Shiv, expressing complete trust in his character. Shiv clarifies that it is not what she is thinking, and Koyal urges him to wait two days before revealing the secret.
Raghunath assures Shakti that she will likely feel exhausted and that they can catch up later. Dadi chimes in, mentioning that Shiv was initially hesitant to marry, but now he never wants to part ways with Shakti. She adds that Shakti will be by his side for the rest of their lives. As Shakti and Rimjhim seek blessings from the elders, she notices Shiv’s persistent worry. She cannot seem to take her eyes off him as they depart. Shiv expresses his confusion over what Shakti knows or doesn’t know since her words do not match what he wrote in the letter.
Standing behind Mandira, Ketan exclaims that Shakti is unaware of Shiv’s past. Furious, Mandira slaps him and reminds him of his actions. Ketan questions why he was slapped, and Mandira responds that he deserves it. She then explains that he forgot she is his mother and a master at manipulation in Banaras with the help of Bholaynath and Mandira Kayshup. She recalls discovering Ketan’s plan to betray her. Unbeknownst to him, she was already aware of it.
Mandira points out that compared to the queen in a chess game, one must remember that there is only one queen while there are eight pawns. If one pawn falls, another can always be used. She then mentions her daughter-in-law, Rimjhim, as the other pawn and recalls instructing her to distract Shakti while she switches the letters. Mandira cautions that Ketan’s love for Shakti could lead to his downfall, which she cannot allow as they are family. However, she is willing to sever ties with him if it jeopardizes her or Ketan’s well-being, leaving Ketan stunned.
