Shiv Shakti (Colors) 4th November 2024 Episode Recap: Nahusha Earns Mahadev’s Favor
The episode begins with Mahadev, who has taken on the guise of an elderly man, approaching Kartikeya and Nahusha for assistance. He is suffering from intense body pain and seeks their help to reach his destination. Nahusha is torn, worried that helping the old man will hinder him in the impending competition. In contrast, Kartikeya informs the old man that he will attend to him after finishing the contest. The old man hints that helping him might lead to Mahadev’s blessings, but Kartikeya dismisses this idea and walks away.
As the plot unfolds, Shiv converses with Parvati, expressing his belief that the competition will soon come to an end. Parvati, however, confidently asserts that Kartikeya will be the one to win.
The elderly man continues to implore Nahusha, warning him that if he does not lend a hand, the man might perish before reaching his goal. Faced with a moral dilemma, Nahusha decides that turning his back on the old man would be disrespectful to shivatva. Apologizing silently to Mahadev for any potential delay, he constructs a makeshift carrier and hoists the old man onto his shoulders.
Meanwhile, Kartikeya and the other gods ascend the mountain to reach Shiv. Parvati’s mood brightens at the sound of Kartikeya’s voice echoing in the distance. Kartikeya arrives at Shiv first, closely followed by the other gods, who promptly urge Shiv to appoint Kartikeya as devraj due to his swift arrival. Eager to help the old man, Kartikeya implores Shiv to make a quick decision.
However, Shiv’s demeanor changes, and he chastises Kartikeya for failing to assist the old man earlier, also scolding the other gods for their lack of compassion. Kartikeya defends his choice, arguing that it is improbable for the same old man to meet all of them at once. Parvati chimes in, clarifying that this scenario was, in fact, a divine test designed by Shiv to gauge their true natures.
Shiv then reveals that Kartikeya has not yet arrived and directs everyone’s attention to him as he is seen carrying the old man home before resuming his journey up the mountain.
Emphasizing the importance of kindness, Shiv reminds everyone that a true leader must exemplify compassion. He declares Nahusha as the new devraj. Kartikeya, unwilling to accept this verdict, insists that he always finds a way to outshine Nahusha. Shiv, however, stands firm, stating that justice must be upheld.
Finally, Nahusha arrives before Shiv, offering his apologies for being late and graciously stepping back from the competition. In a surprising twist, Shiv announces Nahusha as the rightful victor, highlighting the importance of empathy over ambition.
