Why The Fandom Needs To Trust Dr Rohit Sippy A Bit More

The Friday episode of Star Plus’ Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum ended with a terrific precap of the upcoming week. Rohit proposing to Sonakshi, Raima entering the Sippy mansion, Rohit asking Sona to leave – all this was too much to bear for the Ronakshi fans.

For one thing, it was just recently that the fans had got to enjoy the romantic phase of Ronakshi. The fans had got to see their Dr Rohit Sippy as the romantic Rohit Sippy for only a few episodes. Rohit had accepted his feelings towards Sona. Sonakshi was finally getting the share of happiness that she rightly deserved. The families had agreed to the relationship. Everything was going smooth for Ronakshi, or rather everything seemed to be going smooth for them.

Then why this Raima track? – one may ask.

It is no hidden fact that twists and turns advertently follow the happy tracks in an ITV show. For when the path becomes trouble free, it is no doubt that the story becomes plain and bland. New happenings every now and then are the reasons the lead characters evolve and the viewers remain expectant. And in this case, we always knew Raima would come into the picture one day.

If you have already watched the precap of the latest episode of KHKT (of course you have), then your heart must be experiencing thousands of emotions. Hundreds of ideas racing in your mind, as to why Rohit Sippy did what he appears to have done in the precap. Maybe you are angry with him, maybe you are sad, maybe you already knew that this was coming. The hashtag of Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum was flooded with various opinions, ideas, consolations and explanations. People seemed to be discontent with Rohit’s actions, the way he seemed to have behaved with Sonakshi. As it should be. For Dr Rohit Sippy is a well written character, fans love him for his antics, behaviour and caring nature, and of course they can’t stand him not supporting Sona when it appears that she needs it the most.

But here is one thing fandom – We need to trust Rohit Sippy a bit more. We need to give him the benefit of doubt and understand the reasons behind his actions. The Rohit we know is impulsive, he acts first and then cares to spare a thought about it. How do you think he would have reacted when he just saw a girl that he loved, at his doorstep after years of being in coma? What would he feel when that same girl would accuse his present love for her situation? Of course, he ought to listen to Sona and know her side of story (and I’m sure later on he’ll do that too), but the Rohit Sippy we know doesn’t know how to handle his emotions.

At a time when he has his former love, Raima crumbling infront of him, accusing Sonakshi for her state, her health deteriorating infront of his eyes, what do you think would be his first reaction? Obviously his doctor instincts will take the better of him. At that moment, when he is filled with emotions of surprise, shock, confusion, doubts about his feelings towards Raima, do you expect him to think straight? Do you expect him to stand up and clear things and react like a perfect person?

The character of Rohit Sippy is carved out of a human persona. He is human, and he has flaws too. If he actually would have behaved rationally in this kind of a scenario, then it would mean that his flaws are brushed under the carpet, making him a perfect hero, the epitome of what ITV soaps portray. He might be very wrong in asking the Rastogis to leave his house, but you have to understand what made him do so.

What did Rohit actually feel when he saw Raima, standing in front of him, recovering from the coma? And don’t you think the world would have come crashing down at his feet when he came to know that Sonakshi was somewhat responsible for this state of Raima? And right before him was this patient, his former love, who needed his help.

What were the reasons behind Rohit’s behaviour, what made him do the things that he did – we will definitely get to know about these in the upcoming episodes. And I’m sure Dr Rohit Sippy will understand the implications of his actions and try his best to make amends for them. I’m sure Sonakshi will understand him too.

Will Rohit’s impulsive nature get to learn a lesson or two from this incident? Will he be clearer of his thoughts after the arrival of Raima into his life? The answers to all these questions lie in the episodes of Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum this week. Be sure not to miss a single episode. Till then, trust the writers and your lovable Dr Sippy a bit more!
