Awesome post ... beautifully described Ishana here, totally agree with your post but only one thing m not getting if Ishana's character is so beautiful n deep then why she is not able to connect with viewers/audience wats the need of such post its d actor who should make the character connect wid the audience every action reaction hve a deeper meaning n viewer should get to understand dat why she is doing dat why she is being switching on n off at one point she says she doesnt not want to hurt Om and next moment she try to fool him by being Bela and dat wasnt enough wen she goes to comfort him after his brother news she tries to steal watch or random stuff from the mansion i mean dre is no connection at all i do get it dat she is doing everything to protect her family her sister but dey shud show dat na in her actions n seeing her as a viewer it isnt clicking dat she is doing it for some majburi rather it looks like she is enjoying dat and audience should get to know her character by seeing her enacting it getting to know her pov not reading some analysis or thesis on her character it's nt a novel it's a show n who's fault is it you have written this post very closely and it clearly indicates that Vrushika is not able to pull off the character at point we able to understand her but nxt moment she does something totally opposite n we again left wid a question mark nt able to understand the reason behind it and it's all because of her poor acting skills she really needs to improve a lot and CVs already spoiling their story by showing anythng anywhere widout any link Watsoever and above all her acting dats ruining it more making scene look as if deliberately trying to hold the audience wid her dancing as she is beautiful dancer no doubt bt dey should focus on acting as well

PS- I am commenting here because Aks_aKindSoul send me link on my post who belongs to the actor fan group so do not ask me why m i commenting here

😊 Smile.

You know what I do?

I don't even open those posts anymore.

Just skip over it.

People will stop if they do not get any response.

There's something really enjoyable in not giving people the reaction they expect.

You should try it!

<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">"In her eyes, the sadness sings - of one who
was destined, for better things."</font></p><p align="center"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Lang Leav,Love & Misadventure</font></p>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Even before her entry, both Ishaana and
Vrushika have been plagued withscepticism. I'm not here to defend Vrushika
today, I'm trying to understand Ishaana - the character. This is not an Ishaana appreciation post,
because I will absolutely acknowledge that she is very flawed, but this is also
what makes her real. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">The simplest way to define Ishaana is:
intricate. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Like any normal human being, she is made up brilliant post.
of the good and the bad; as the norm goes, people are very quick to pick out
the bad. Let's be fair and look at both sides of her personality. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">In my opinion, Ishaana is a turbulent ENFP.
</font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">There is no doubt that she is curious and
exceptionally observant. She sees things that most don't, which is evidenced by
her sharp insight into Omkara. It took her one conversation with him to know
that he is just as damaged as she is. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">She is endlessly resourceful: she will find
a way, or make one. Ishaana is also eager and lively, always ready to jump out
of her comfort zone and take a plunge into deep water. Her communication skills are excellent as
well, and she is friendly and approachable. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Nevertheless, Ishaana is not what she
seems. This might seem fairly straight forward, since she is a con-woman by
profession, or rather necessity. In her
attempt to deceive the world, Ishaana is only deceiving herself. She has convinced herself that she enjoys what
she is doing. She has taken it into stride, and made a sport out of it and yet,
when faced with the prospect of swindling someone as honest and kind as Omkara,
Ishaana balks at the opportunity.</font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Ishaana is melodramatic. She is flamboyant.
She smiles, sings, dances to show the world that she is fine, but often it is the
saddest of us who leave the least clues behind. We know that she is in a bad
circumstance, and it is admirable that despite all her setbacks, she does not
give up. Yes, she's chosen the wrong path to achieve her ends, but she hasn't
bowed her head in defeat. She doesn't submit to her circumstances, and she is
the only one in her family who is trying desperately to protect it. Ishaana is
misguided, presumably due to the lack of a maternal figure in her life, and
with the addition of an irresponsible father. Like Omkara, she has not experienced a happy
childhood and therefore is still childish and immature. However, unlike Omkara, she
does not try to escape reality. She does not dwell on negativity, instead Ishaana
picks herself up and moves on. This is
why, she will be a suitable partner for Omkara because she will teach him how
to face life, head on; to not be afraid of making mistakes, or hide from
problems.</font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Lacking practical skills, she is full of
ideas, but she is unable to execute them properly. She is always in a rush, and
is easily distracted. Her lack of focus can be attributed to her tendency to
overthink things. She is a beautiful chaos of incomplete thoughts and
indecisions. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">With an affinity for pretty things, expensive
things, Ishaana is ambitious. Like most of us, she values wealth and aesthetic
beauty. However, at heart, more than unending riches, she simply desires
financial stability because she knows what it feels like to be poor and needy. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">But, Ishaana has set herself up for
failure. She will never be a successful con-woman, because she simply does not
have the ruthless temperament that is necessary to achieve what she desires.
She is a feeler, and will choose not to capitalize on many opportunities
because her emotions will get in the way. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Ishaana is intricate. She is full of false
bravado and infinite imagination. She is a wild, untamable force, but she is
loyal to those who are loyal to her. And
she has already proven that she is loyal to Omkara. Even though she has all
intention to swindle him, the thought of him suffering has her rushing to his
aid. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">She feels an ineffable connection to him. Perhaps
it is his ingenuity that strikes a chord within her, or the fact that he was by
her side when she was vulnerable. She respects him, and somewhere, we all know
that it will be Ishaana who will fall in love with Omkara first, and not vice
versa. We can surmise that there is an
impending fall out ahead, once her reality is revealed. It hurts to even think
about it, because we know that there is no nice way around it.</font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">But, they need to separate to get back
together. And I have faith that they will. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Omkara is a classic INFP; he is Ishaana's
introverted counterpart. This relationship, if portrayed correctly, has the
potential to be divine.</font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Both of these individuals are dreamers.
They live in their head. Of all the couples at Oberoi Mansion, this is the
couple that would be the most connected and balanced. Each pairing has their
ups and downs, and I'm not at all suggesting that one is better than the other.
I am infatuated with all three at this point because each has their own beauty.
Nevertheless, once they are finally together in an honest relationship, Omkara
and Ishaana will be the couple with the least conflict. With Ishaana's sharp
insight and Omkara's ability of internal analysis, they are bound to be
discussing and solving the problems in the lives of their loved ones. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">They are both extremely empathetic and
sensitive, and so just as they will rejoice deeply in each other's joys and achievements,
the will also suffer greatly for each other as well. This relationship is one
of mutual emotional investment. They will be fiercely loyal to one another,
they will heal each other. Ishaana will bring Omkara out of his shell, and he
will ground her with unconditional love, something that she is not used to. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">There are people who don't like the fact
that Ishaana calls Oberoi Mansion as her sasural. To others, it is endearing. I'm
not challenging anyone's sentiments; rather, I am wondering why she would think
this way. Has she already started to fall for Omkara? Can she foresee a future
with him? Is it instinct, or perhaps just a gut feeling that this is where she
belongs? Or is this just another one of her whimsical fancies? It could be
anything, because Ishaana is unpredictable. She is the type of person who
jumps first and builds her wings later. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">There is no dearth of Ishaana haters on
this forum. Whenever I am on this
forum, one thread or another is apparently dedicated to Ishaana's bad characterisation. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">Perhaps it is just us. Maybe, we just haven't
learnt to read between the lines yet. </font>

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#333333">It is my sincere request to CVs and the show's
writers, if you are reading this - please know, that I admire this incomplete,
imperfect and irrational character that you have created. Please nurture her
character. Plant the seeds, let them take root and allow her to grow. Don't let
her get lost in the crowd. </font>
