Suki Panesar/Eve Unwin vs Suki Panesar & Nish Panesar [31/??]
One of the things I’ve always loved about the Sukeve and Nish storyline is the way that the show has carefully constructed the contrasts in Suki’s relationship with Eve and her relationship with Nish, be that through writing/directing/actor choices.

Nish consistently leaves Suki to do all of the household chores, as it is makes up part of her 'duties as a wife' to take care of the house; the closest he's ever got to doing something for Suki is occasionally preparing chai, but even that doesn't come without him exerting his control, such as the aftermath of Suki attempting to hand herself into the police to save Kheerat in April 2023.
In almost every household scene since Suki and Eve officially made their relationship public, Eve is right there alongside Suki, helping out with the cooking and cleaning. Suki is no longer trapped by Nish's patriarchal views of what a wife should be, finally with a loving wife who takes equal responsibility in the household tasks. A true partnership in every sense of the word.
