Shivansh Randhawa

Namik Paul as Shivansh Randhawa in Kumkum Bhagya

I am finding the character of Shivansh Randhawa quite an interesting and complex character with multiple layers, a successful businessman with a secret past.

He still carries with him the haunted trauma of his mother abandoning him at such a young age. The scars of that early loss have stayed with him, shaping his every decision and relationship to this day.

Just as he is about to start the next chapter in his life, preparing to get married to Sonalika he sees his mother reenter in his life. She is in fact alive with a family of her own, a different husband, a another son and daughter. It seems as though she has forgotten all about him. With all this hatred now building inside of him he needs to let it all out. Leading to his plan for revenge.

Its hard for him to trust anyone, and now his only focus is to take revenge and seeing Mrs Smita Zaveri ultimately destroyed.

I believe that whenever someone close to him leaves, it triggers painful memories of the abandonment he experienced as a child. Now, with Prarthana, his wife, having left him, he’s deeply shocked, he never expected her to make that choice. Thankfully, everything is fine now, as she returns home safely after the horrific events they both endured the night she chose to leave the house.
