Upon request- my opinion on the ishaana issue and precap

i dont understand why we all need to 'relate' to ishaana or why ishaana needs to be good and justified in her behaviour or even need to change her world views and become like anika. we already have 2 anikas on the show, one is anika herself and the other is soumya who so far is just anika with the poverty replaced by fat people problems. we dont need a third. and as for Om deserving 'better' cos he is 'good'- if the writers wanted to show that then they wouldve paired om with annika. but they didnt. its a multicast show and its not important that you find all characters likeable or interesting or relatable. just because one thinks annika is great doesnt mean it is necessary to rip on ishaana for not being as good as annika. and i would hope that none of us can relate to her cos that would mean- a) you are a con artist or b) you have a terrible gambling drunk as a parent and have to play the adult or c) you have goons standing at your door step waiting to sell you and your sister into the luxury life of prostitution. i wouldnt wish that on anyone. and i certainly cant relate to ishaana but that doesnt mean that i dont enjoy her. i like that with her its not a matter of right or wrong, it is what is it and how it is. i dont find the need to make excuses for her actions, there is no need. shes not a villain like svetlana and neither is she a heroine like anika. shes not a normal girl with flaws, shes definitely not a 'good' person and thats fine cos Om is 'good' enough for the both of them. the idea of her having to deserve Om or be good enough for Om is super outdated. if each one of us fell exclusively for people who deserved our love or was good enough, then all love stories would be perfect- which they are not. love is a pretty random situation and many times rather illogical and it makes you more accepting as a person. and as for ishaana's come back in the precap, then i dont know about you but this was the first time i did relate to her a bit. i dont care if my dad is hitler reincarnate but if anyone takes a shot at him to my face, no matter the circumstance, i would be livid- i would rip them apart. parents are off limits to everyone. and thats something everyone should know and understand. my dad may be a drunkard and a petty thief but that doesnt mean i will ever abandon him. i'll do what i need to for him. thats just it. i dont need to have a moral high ground to defend my father against any offense. so yes her dad is a con and her parvarish is not that great in the usual sense, but that doesnt mean that she will just stand there and listen to Om bullshit her family. that goes against the very grain of human nature. morality is not even a question here. om's mother is a drunkard but whenever someone mentions that he bristles like an inflamed wound. its the truth, but doesnt mean people are allowed to just say it and get away with it. lash out is natural. same with ishaana. i dont think Om needs to find out about her majboori and not judge her- judge her all you want thats your prerogative but dont expect no retaliation if you bring in the parents. thats that. this is not really a moral question or a debatable topic- should you listen to someone talk shit about your parents even if everything they said were true...uhhh the answer is an affirmative no.

Finally!
Thank you for your logic and mature understanding.
You are absolutely correct! We don't need to relate to Ishaana, and I love that she is flawed.
And the issue of family is completely untouchable! No matter how much I disagree with my family, if anyone dared to speak ill of my family, I would rip them apart.
Go Ishaana! Don't let another man bully you into submission!

Agree with u dear.

I read this as a comment of yours on that post! You are so damn right and this is what I want people to understand. They always expect a sanskaari typical Indian women when it comes to daily soaps and why the hell so.. even I don't understand.

Superb post dear...👏

You go girl! Said everything I have been wanting to say.

I slightly agree with you. First of all Ishana should not be compared with Anika. Both are different. Both have their own path. We never know what Anika would have chose if she were in Ishana's place or vice versa.

Agree with you on about having a different heroine than the already existing one. I can also understand why Ishana retaliated the way she did.
The part I disagree is defending my blood when they are visibly wrong. That is something I would not do. Yeah I would strive to correct them and give them a better life. But if they have hurt other people as a result of their faulty character , then no I would not defend them. That's a matter of justice for me. You hurt somebody whether it be conning or something petty than that , you deserve the punishment that comes your way.

Exactly.
