I am so glad for for this post. For the last few days, many people have been bashing either RKB or Mani or Ishita. This was a much needed post. Today's episode was one of the most emotional touching realistic episodes of YHM as per me. Everybody and I mean everybody acted well. Each character was right in its place.
People have been bashing Mani. But why? Just because he is showing Raman where he has been deficient as a husband? But is it not the truth? It is true RKB is a gem of a person. He is caring and loves his family. But what about Ishita? Has he ever bothered to ask her likes and dislikes? Forget that, how many times has RKB really sat down with Ishu for a sensible talk? During the Amma track there was this whole trust issue. He could tell Ishu the truth. They don't share a bed. I mean they don't have to do anything. But why can't he let her sleep on one side? What is wrong with that? Didn't they do it for Ruhi?
Has Raman ever sat and thought what Ishita means to him and his family? Yes he said it in his speech once. He also said it to spite Shagun. But saying it in public and sharing it with one's spouse in private is different. But that does not mean RKB is bad or brute. He immensely likes Ishita, cares for her, and does his best. But he is still in a shell...a shell in which he has cocooned himself because of his bitter experience with Shagun. He needs a push to come out of it and that is where Mani comes in.
People are reacting badly to Mani. But why? Has Mani said anything wrong today? He was asking Raman to speak properly. Was that wrong? Raman was being brute. Whatever Raman said about scrapbook was true. But whatever Mani said about "pati" and "accha pati" was equally true. Few days back, even MiMi had said that Raman is caring but Ishra have not had any KKHH moment. "It is caring...only not exactly love"... Mihika had said it.
My question to Raman is had Mani been a girl and had known everything about Ishita, tab bhi kya problem hota? Nahin... RKB is reacting like this because Mani is a male friend.
Raman is madly in love. He needs a push.. a jhatka to declare that to Ishu. mani is just providing that. As a good friend, he is looking out for his best friend. What is wrong about that?
Raman, Mani and Ishu are exactly doing what their characters are supposed to do. The track is going just like it should for Raman's confession. The acting for all has been excellent. It will be good if people stop bashing a character and just watch the episodes.
