Stupid Mihika - Page 17

This was not a personal attack, simply an assumption that was obviously wrong. And you cannot expect a discussion on a serious issue like this without a personal involvement. Perhaps you and your siblings share a different kind of relationship, and I give kudos to you for that. But I was explaining Mihiki from MY POV. When a woman is molested in the confines of her OWN home, what evidence do you expect. This is the sad story of so many people around the world. There are girls whose on father-in-laws, brothers, fathers etc. sexual harass them. It is unexpected, you are not going to carry around a camera or recording device, neither are you going to think straight. These girls in fact SUFFER because of the facts you have mentioned. Unfortunately even their own family does not stand for them. This is reality sweetheart, so when it comes to that, I think of how I would react if my sister had been through the same ordeal, God Forbid. I am not going to stand around asking for evidence, and questioning her. At that moment, she needs to know that she has people who support her, who are there for her. If I started to ask for rationale, then how am I any different than the Bhallas? A person who has been through that, does not need to be harassed further with questions, they need encouragement and strong backing. Which in that moment Mihika was. Call me stupid, but if it was me I would have been just as angry if not more.

But anyways, this is YHM and about Mihika.

Yes Mihika occasionally comes across as rude and brash in her "independent" moments. As much as I love Mihika, I will admit that. She can be vindictive. But I don't think she was wrong in defending Ishita. You said that Madhu took Ishita away and that Ishita could've refused and stayed on in the Bhalla house. But do you think they would've let her? Toshi and Simmi would've kicked Ishita out the second Ishita said she wanted to remain in the house. And why would Ishita want to continue to remain the house where her molester and would-be rapist lives? And perhaps Raman realized this and that's why he didn't say anything. But that's it, his silence spoke volumes. We as the audience know that he trusts Ishita. But Ishita and her family didn't. When Ishita needed his support the most, he stayed silent. When Ishita's mom took her away, he stayed silent. We know that he perhaps knew that Ishita's going away for a few days was best. But the others don't. They probably took his silence and his agreeing with Parmeet and throwing Ishita out. Even if Raman was not for "throwing" Ishita out of the house, he could've said something when his family insulted Ishita to the core. If anyone did that with my sister I would be hella pissed like Mihika.

In his place, I could see why Raman was silent. He had something to lose on both sides and it wouldn't make sense for him to take anyone's side when the evidence was so unclear.

But in her place, Mihika was also right. Simmi stood by her husband. By that logic, Raman should've stood by Ishita. And Mihika has other reasons to dislike Raman as well. Raman has not specified why he dislikes Mihika. In fact, if Raman hadn't said no first, then perhaps Mihika and Mihir would've been married. So Mihika has a just reason to dislike him. He continually interferes in her matters with Mihir. But despite that, she's been respectful to him. But him hurting her Ishita was the last straw for her I think.

And regarding Mihir. Mihir's loyalty to Raman is commendable, I agree. There's nothing outright wrong with it. But Mihir is also not completely right. Mihir is spineless when it comes to Mihika. He is the one who gives her mixed signals. He claims to love her, but then when Raman or someone asks him, he claims to not love her. He claims to want to spend the rest of his life with her, but then agrees to get married to someone else. If Mihir had said no to marrying Trisha, that wouldn't have meant that he wasn't being loyal to Raman. By agreeing to the weddings, he's putting three lives in jeopardy. First of all his, its clear he won't be as happy with Trisha as he would be with Mihika. Second Mihika as he keeps giving her mixed signals. He should just break it off with her, instead of doing things like picking her up from work, giving her medicine, etc. And thirdly Trisha. Poor girl does not deserve to marry someone who will never love her fully. Mihir is masking his stupidity with his claim of loyalty.

Hi yo-yoing with Mihika is the reason Ishita doesn't like him. She doesn't mind him on his own. And she treated him respectfully for the most part. But he's been messing around with Mihika, making Mihika hurt which angers Ishita the older sister, hence the rude behaviour towards Mihir.

And regarding the mms scandal. The evidence came from Mihir's mobile that only he apparently had access to. It destroyed her image publicly, unlike the Ishita case wherein its only been in the family so far. Despite that, she did realize that it couldn't have been Mihir because he wasn't like that. So Mihika wasn't wrong there and acted with maturity eventually.

Yes I think Mihika was wrong with her choice of words and she shouldn't have screamed all those things to Mihir about being Raman's chamcha. There's a time and a place for everything, and it definitely was not the right time or place. But I think her blow up was coming. She had been bottling things for a long time and they came up.

Bottom line: Mihika is not stupid. Yes she should not necessarily have said those exact things at the time. But she wasn't wrong in saying them as they would've come out eventually anyway. And Mihir is not that great as well. He needs to make up his mind, stop giving mixed signals, and stop pretending his blind obedience to Raman counts as loyalty.
