What the F is Toshi ji upto?

Gifting her Bahu stuff for 'Shaadi ke baad ki PEHLI LOHRI' after humiliating her..and asking her to apologize to her bitchy Sauten...for NO fault of hers...as if that will just erase the abominable episode from Ishita's mind😔

"Mainu pata hai..ki tu hum sab se naaraz hai...ADI pareshan hota hai naa..toh hum sab PAAGAL HO JAATE HAIN" and AGAIN, that oft-repeated, much irritating, redundant, convenient, patchwork line, "Ishita...tera dil vadda GREAT hai" Is this a STANDARD line for Toshi ji? Like, dont they EVER rehearse and find it sick and sly, to be saying the same thing over and over again, after doing something cringeworthy and hypocritical? I will strangle her the next time she mouths this dialogue..Lost ALL respect for her..can NEVER take her seriously anymore...

Pongal celebrations are in full swing..VANDU notices the wedding ring absent in Appa's ring finger.."Aapki wedding ring kahan gayi?" she asks..Appa reprimands her, and asks her to get busy with the Pongal celebrations...

It is so CLEAR that Ishita is upset...feeling uneasy...she's wondering what suddenly happened...She's wondering how tables turned when she was ABOUT to go apologize to Shagun...Arrey yaar, tumhara pati wahan side mein khada tha..isliye tumhari Sauten ne drama kiya..Yeh samajh kyun nahin aata Ishita ko???

"Ishima...kya hua? Aap udaas kyun ho?"Ruhi asks her, entering the room. She goes on and on about how she had been to her Ishima's clinic to get her toothache checked...and how Raman Papa and Ishita performed the rituals "Aap dono toh uss samay ek doosre ko jaante bhi nahin the" she concludes, cheerfully...

"Ishima...AAP HI MERI MAMMA HO...chahe kuch bhi ho jaye..main aapko kabhi hurt nahin karungi...kabhi SORRY nahin bulwaungi...kabhi chhodke nahin jaaungi" "Ishima..I LOVE YOU"...Sooo sweeet...sooo ADORABLE...IshRu are MADE FOR EACH OTHER...I was crying...literally...it was sooo touching...Ruhi, with her gap-toothed smile...RUHI is the ONLY soul in the Bhalla House who is pure, innocent and sooo perceptive...Such a CUTIE! Such an adorable darling...In fact, the Bhallas should LEARN from this oft-neglected child of their own clan...Unconditional love and support...not the kind Raman is trying to justify...CVs, I have a request...Please do NOT tamper with Ruhi's innocence and guileless nature..

Raman who was watching all this, standing at the door, thinks to himself, for the Nth time:

"Kaash Ruhi ki tarah main bhi aasani se keh pata Ishita, ki main tumse kitna pyaar karta hai...bahut koshish karta hun ki tumhen hurt na karun...phir bhi hurt kar hi leta hun...ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar dena" Why should your wife FORGIVE you without a fight? Without You making an effort to ACTUALLY UNDO WHAT YOU'VE DONE...My affection and admiration for Raman is going downhill day by day...his complacent attitude..his ABSOLUTE disregard for prompt action to alleviate his wife's feelings...What has he BECOME? There's no Genuiness in what he's trying to for his wife...He STILL hasnt gotten over the Shagun syndrome, no? Thinks designer sarees and customized earrings and this and that will be a perfect substitute for his loyalty and respect. B.S. HE NEEDED IT. The nerve...He is turning out to be a typical MCP..cannot stand this shit

UFFF...MISHOK are back...and NOT with a bang...Mihika gave a speech to the Khanna Brothers worth raised eyebrows from Ishita herself...about how they should stay OFF alcohol atleast on THIS day...I must say, Mihika was looking like a typical South Indian beauty...lovely...some white-ish saree with a green border..Kanjeevaram hi hoga...

Pongal celebrations begin with Amma-Appa doing the honours...shehnai (I guess, wohi baj raha tha) was playing in the background...The women were looking simple and BEAUTIFUL...Madhvi Iyer donning a pink Kanjeeevaram, and flowers in her long braid, looked really pretty...MISHOK arrived and touched Amma-Appa's feet...

Amma gave Mihika the gajra...some orange-looking flowers..I dont know what they're called, but they look extremely pretty...

Ishita and Raman are getting ready. She helped Raman size up his outfit neatly..He realises that Ishita's "probably very hurt" and that he should say sorry to Ishita...Is it ROCKET SCIENCE? The minute he tries to speak to her, Ruhi comes in with those orange-looking flowers and says she wants her Ishima to wear them...Ishita is ALREADY looking sooo beautiful..elegant, exquisite, and ethereal...the white and red Kanjeevaram saree, the red lipstick...the orange flowers in her neatly tied bun..the sombre look..EVERYTHING ADDED TO HER BEAUTY TODAY...

Raman was looking nice too..and I'd prolly have commented on his hotness, had he not tried to "buy" his wife's forgiveness by gifting her customized diamond earrings, the same as the Khandaani ones already gifted to Shagun..
"Yeh aapne Shagun se wapas le liye?" Ishita is surprised
"Main daan ki hui cheez wapaas nahin leta Ishita...yeh maine khaas tumare liye banwaye hain...kyunki unpe TUMHARA hak tha..." Why didnt you protest against the same the day Ishita handed you over the earrings? Nt impressed...in fact..this DELAY in understanding these little nuances...are pissing me off.😔

"Aap kyun nahin samajh paate ho mujhe...Maine kabhi aapse kuch nahin maanga..Bas aapse chahiye..toh thoda sa bharosa, thoda si izzat...in sab cheezon ki koi zaroorat nahin hai mujhe" Ishita gives it back to him, in a sombre, yet FIRM and NO-NONSENSE way!! Loved that Ishita Bhalla...šŸ‘šŸ‘ I totally gorged on the fact that you DID NOT GIVE IN to Raman's second-hand, outdated apology...No man on earth should take his wife for granted in a way that makes him feel he can win her heart back just by buying her a filthy expensive pair of diamond earrings, no matter how gorgeous and exquisite they may bešŸ‘
Appa is worried at the bewildered, upset expression on Ishita's face...I was wondering what exactly happened...First, I thought maybe App a was tryin to read Ishita's expressions..turns out Ishita's face reflected the sight of Mihika sitting around the Pooja fire..

"Aayiye saale saab, kaise hain? Hamare saale saab zara late-lateef hain...Bade log, busy honge. Haal hi mein kuch contracts sign kiye hain...office mein bahut kaam ho gaya hoga naa'' Ashok taunts Raman, as he makes his place near the fire...

"Appa...aapne phirse shirt nahin kharidi naa? Phirse wohi daag laga veshti pehena hai aapne" Raman says, as he tries to smoothen a crease in Appa's veshti...Raman tried to be the ideal Daamad today, but Ishita wasnt even looking...Serves him right

Mihika thinks adding an ENTIRE BOTTLE of chilli powder into the prasadam will be a FITTING REVENGE. How SCHOOL-GIRLISH! But I loved the expression on Mihika's face, "ACCHA HAI NAA?" when Ashok felt his insides burn after taking a spoon of the prasadam.

"I'll have your YUMMY...Sambar...katori se" Ashok pacifies her, once she starts blackmailing him citing her pregnancy blues. "Kitni KAMEENI biwi paayi hai maine" ASHOK mutters out loud, and takes out a bottle of alcohol, stuffed inside the folds of his veshti ..to take a swab and down out the burning sensation in his esophagus.

Mihir enters and hears Ashok bitching about Raman. "Excuse me, you're talking to me?" Mihir shot back, as Ashok addressed him.

"Saala.baap banne jaa raha hai...phir bhi ATTITUDE dekho" Ashok thinks to himself. 🤣

"Jab pata chala hoga tumhen...toh pairon ke neeche se zameen hi khisak gayi hogi..aur meri bhi" I really didnt know in which sense Ashok said this line. And, going by what Mihir said, "Lagta hai tum hosh mein nahin ho...kyunki tum kya BAK RAHE HO, mujhe bhi samajh nahin aa raha..." even HE didnt understand that, I guess.

Mihir ogled at Mihika, opening the door just a teensy little bit...and then realised, she's married. Ufff...Heartbreak and all...Kab tak DIKHAYENGE? Rinki kyun nahin hai...would've loved to see RiMi flirting and MIHIKA watching the same with hawk eyes

ADI came to check on his mother, sitting outside in the lawn..asked her why she isnt ready yet...
"Kiske liye taiyaar hona beta? Yeh sab tyohaar un logon ke liye hota hai, jinka husband
ho...Parivaar ho.." "Ab mera Pati SAARE RULES Ishita ke saath manayega" Wow...Even AFTER the divorce, Shagun thinks RAMAN is HER Pati...and so does ADI...THIS is the counselling the MORON is getting, huh?😔

And so...ADI decides, "Aaj ki Lohri ki Puja HUM hi karenge...agar Ishita Aunty ko pooja karni hai toh unhe alag jaake karni hogi" Tu kaun hota hai YEH DECIDE KARNE WALA???xyza 8onsksknls 😔😔😔 Felt like ghumaoing my hand and giving him a whack that would echo, even amidst the Band Baja of Lohri celebrations...


PRECAP - Shagun managed to get the customary red and white dress gifted by the Bhallas, I guess..she's getting her mehendi done..when somebdy in the crowd asks ADI about Ishita, "Yeh kaun hai"..

That ________ said, "Err..YEH...YEH MERI NEIGHBOUR HAI" How DARE this sick, pathetic, creepy bratty MORON say something? And as far as its apparent, I dont think any of the Bhallas will say anything

WHAT THE F ARE THE CVs upto? The Bhallas stood doing nothing..Raman, very 'conveniently' just stepped on the scene..and Ishita looked heartbroken. AGAIN. If this time None of the Bhallas say a WORD, then I've had it.

Chhii EK...your drama levels are DEPLORABLE. What depths will you go to now? Raman Bhalla isnt the ONLY man in the world to have divorced his wife...or the ONLY one who has a son...GET A LIFE..AND STOP PLAYING SEXISM IN YOUR SHOW EVERY SINGLE DAY😔

P.S. Now I know..why TOSHI JI and RAMAN are sooo alike...The MIL tried to appease to Ishita's better nature by gifting her LOhri ka saamaan, and uttering some cringe-worthy lines which sounded FAKE and extremely sly...Just as the HUSBAND tried to buy out his wife's forgiveness..Pathetic...And I know, I'll just get angrier day by day...

P.S. Ruhi, DO SOMETHING SHOCKING and infuse some much-needed sense into your Raman Papa's and daadi's head

P.S.Ishita was the REAL HERO of today's episode...Love and ADMIRE the succint, curt response...I just hope, in HOWEVER subtle ways you can manage, please do not let your guard down so easily...and GIVE IT BACK to this family taking their morning dips in hypocrisy

Stupid episode. Filler. Just to push the drama to probably friday or saturday.
What is the point i don't get it? Is there NOTHING more to the show than this irritating love triangle of sorts? They can still explore so much about the leads, their love towards each other, Ishita's trials as a mother.. Simmi-Param drama, or for a change proper closure to Mani track lekin out of so many cool options, they choose to show such typical tellyworld crap and to top it, they literally 'fill' every alternate epi with utterly nonsense scenes. Im starting to lose my patience now, to be very honest. :/

Raman failed to redeem himself in this epi also, and not im not going to buy any of his romantic drama until he sincerely apologises for the wrong done by him.
I watched the epi while working so i might be wrong, but what i could comprehend was ki when Ishita said, i just want a little respect and trust from you, did he just say 'why is she showing attitude?' or something on those lines? Coz if he did, then oh my god CVs, u just killed Raman Kumar Bhalla for me.

Toshi Ji was at her disappointing best. Bloody hypocrite. Im so glad Ishita expressed her disappointment to her. That lady is too much.
What kind of a woman Toshi Ji is, really? Blaming Ishita for literally everything and uske baad trying to be overly-sweet with her?
'I know we have wronged u.' Now what good is this realisation when u have to do such thing again and again? :/
Toshi Ji broke my heart. And she's lost all chances of redemption acc to me. I will never look at her the same like i did when she stood up for Ishita during accident track. :/

Raman too. Like mother, like son. Toshi Ji said not one word to Shagun and Adi. And Raman, not one word to Shagun, Adi and Toshi Ji. Bus stood there evesdropping on Ishita and Ruhi. My foot. Selfish people. I doubt if i'd be able to love Raman like i do, knowing that he too, is just as selfish as his mother. Blinded by his love for that one moron of a son. :X
His casual attitude while Ishita was making something realise very serious, just killed it for me. Disappointing, disappointing and utterly disappointing. :| I now dare CVs to make a mockery of an apology from Raman to Ishita. Make that one seriously intense scene to a comic one and i swear that would be the end of YHM for me. It's going too overboard now.

Ishita and Ruhi scene was so pure. :') It was all the more fun to watch coz i know it will be Ruhi now who'll be standing for Ishita! Lovely SBS/SBB. :D
Raman as usual standing there like a mute spectator. So unless i see a very valid reason for him not yet saying anything to his stupid son, the character no longer exists for me.

These people again started with Appa and his finances. Gosh i can't tell u how irritated i was by that. :X
Instead of those scenes, atleast Raman ko Toshi Ji se baat karte hue dikha dete yar? Kisi ko toh ye bolte hue dikhate ki aage se Ishita ke saath hum ye nahi hone denge? :/ I'd have felt ki goodness does get rewarded after all. Lekin these people started with their own pooja drama. 10mins of pooja scenes jisme i could see no sense whatsoever. Bloody nonsense. :X

Ashok, im sorry has been made into such a comic caricature of a villain na.. So annoyingly stupid.. I now realise Raman ka character toh assassinate hua hi hai, Ashok has also gone with the wind. Where has that classy villain gone man? :/

Mihir was good. Still in character. And it was such a treat to watch him so sensible after such a bitter break up. :)

DT was right in her expressions throughout. She looked lovely in that cream-orange saree. :')

Ruhi my doll. :D

P.s. In all seriousness, RIP Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla. :(

Shouting
Yelling
Insulting apology
Being addressed as a neighbour
After all this raman is ready to do the lohri puja with shagun because of Adi? Is this is his way of saying sorry? Or does the word sorry has no value for him bcoz he forgets everything in just a second. How mean can he be. Puja with shagun? ??? Really?? He actually agreed to do that??

Shagun is evil. But she was like this since day one. Raman wgo gives into Adi's demands is much more at fault that shagun or anyone else

Raman is becoming shagun.love is materialistic for him now.just hated when he gifted earings.and also loved ishita response to him.loved ruhi ishita scene.and again raman standing as stupid at door perplexed how to say sorry.u know how to force urself on ur wife,scream at her now and then but dont know how to say sorry.strange!!!😔gift is one which has love in it which ruhi gives to ishita by standing for her.shagun is real mom of ruhi but still she is not majboor for adi or shagun.just loved ruhi and ishita.DT expressions were bang on.she was looking gorgeous as always😳.u bhalla clan don't deserve tiny bit of our ishru.just hate them.i am sure he will tomorrow not correct that moron for adressing ishita as neighbour and doing lohri pooja with shagun disgusting😔.and questioning ishita on her motherhood,i mean how can he!!! YHM=ishita and ruhi.

TBH I m tired of this drama. Its Nonsense nothing else. Nothing has changed much. Only thing is CVs dont understand the thin line between non sense n sense.

Toshiji was doing Ishita is Yashoda maiyya at drop of her hat n now doing Ghar ka chirag jaap, Raman earlier was like Ishita for eternity now is doing Adi k liye jaap.

Dont u find it weird that Raman lifted his current wife n did 7 feras (PDA) in front of his son who hates his current wife? Will it not be disturbing for the kid? I m not justifying Adi's behaviour by saying whatever he is doing is right just saying that the track changed from "Ishita is great" to "Adi k liye Majbooriyan".

Firstly Raman not getting what is going on in Adi's brain is stupid. He knows how n what Adi is n how he thinks. A 12 year old kid is able to outsmart Well educated adults (including Ishita for sometime) is pathetic n unbelievable.

This drama is being stretched n MU is being created so that more drama can be added on to the existing drama later.

P.s: Ashok is a laugh riot n only saving grace šŸ˜†

Nice review

Raman is not able to understand his wife's feeling is pathetic and also feels sorry for him. He has been stucked between his wife and son. He is trying to gift the earrings sumilar to his khandhani earrings to break the silence of his wife. He cannot able to understand that no gift can bring the trust on him and the self respect of her which his wife lost today can get it.

Ashok mihika and suraj conversation brings clearly said the cultural differences among them.for punjabis drinking is the part of thier celebrations whereas drinking is prohibited for tamilans on auspicious days. It was clearly shown that Ashok was not interested in attending their celebrations. But when he saw raman the happiness he has in his face is that his life time goal wasaachieved

Mihir and Ashok conversation is the result of misunderstanding between them . Mihir was taking about his promotion in theoffice but ashok was talking about mmihika's pregnancy. It was hilarious but both of them was not understood what the other person has said.

Raman and appa's conversation was nice a careing sson in law for his father in law.

Note
cv's has to know the rituals properly or study well about it before the try to portray it in the screen . Without knowing the correct ritual the sending wrong message to the others

the orange colour flower is called kanakamarAm in english it is called firecracker flower

I don't even try to fathom the level of hypocrisy of the Bhalla clan. Today Toshi explained how important Lohri was for a newly wedded couple and tomorrow they'll celebrate it with Shagun! Ruhi had to be the one to stop that bullshit! A six years old had to be the one who saw how wrong all of it was! Raman and his family- they are very impressive when it comes to talking! They always have so many fancy things to say, promises to make. Ask them to keep even a single word, they are the first to hide!

Two things had made me have two different extreme feelings.
One was Ruhi-Ishita scene and another Raman- Ishita.Both love Ishita but the difference in showing their love at this period of disaster...has a stark difference.One will make your eyes well up and another will make you pissed off.
When I see a 6yr old kid knowing what pain her mother is going thru ...she makes an instant effort to assure her mother and cheer her up.The scene is so heart warming.It makes your eyes moist.
And another scene the MAN RKB... who is said to be madly in love with his wife doesn't even realize what makes his wife angry.His dialogue.."yeh itni bhadki kyun hain yaar"...really Raman??Your wife gets insulted by your bratty son and Shagun...u watch it as mute spectator,you blast her and blame her for Adi's leaving the house...and still u ask what makes your wife angry?Heights of stupidity.And next to patch up with her and wipe off all the mistakes... Raman gifts Ishita ,earring.I loved Ishita's reply...so TRUE...RKB u surely have failed to know how your wife is.
