Very late, aren't I?
Well, the episode was reminiscent of the old YHM days in that it wasn't the story of just two individuals or a single vamp, but rather two very different families coming together for those two people, severely hurt by the people in their past and being healed by a little kid.
Like a lot of other people, I feel that Ruhi's dialogues are too grown up for her age and the CVs have already crossed the limit with taking creative liberties for a seven year old. However, they are (rightly) banking on Ruhi as the person who corrects all the wrongs done to her parents, especially her mother. YHM, above anything else, is the story of the daughter of an infertile woman - and today they did justice to the theme.
Every single actors' emotions were picture perfect during the entire scene. Raman's tears and then the sad but proud smile on his face, Ishita being overwhelmed by the love the kid showers on her, Madhavi Iyer standing on the by lanes and being completely awed by the concern and the togetherness of the family that accepted her daughter - the same daughter who had been scorned and derided by the people around her for her inability to conceive - seeing her actually become a mother in front of her eyes today - Neenaji was perfect in her almost melancholic happiness.
We got a complete IshRaRu moment and whatever Ruhi said and did and happened and did not happen, I don't care about it. I watch the show for these three characters together, and seeing them in such a poignant moment - all I could ask for.
From there the Appa drama starts. Abhayji was perfect in his portrayal of a confused man, but with humility and confidence in his character. And the two son-in-laws proved what Madhavi taunted Bala's mother about - they have two daughters and two sons.
I think the beauty of our culture lies in the way we handle relationships. It's never "your father" or "his son" or anything - every little relationship we are bound to, we adopt it for life. Raman stood by his father figure - no doubts, no inclinations anywhere else - without thinking twice. You want to demean my father? I'd rather you keep your job.
That is the RKB I've loved watching.
I wish he was jobless for a few more days - Shagun would happily pack her bags and move away to some other rich hapless guy with her criminal tween in tow, and we could have the IshRa confession in some barn or garage with 1980s songs playing the background.π€£
Shagun's plan is not clear to me at this moment. Yes, pitting father-in-law against Raman was a master stroke if she just wanted Raman to feel disgusted and helpless. But what next? Did she think Raman would leave Ishita, his daughter's mother, for some petty cash stolen by someone else and that too when he could pay it back in a jiffy?π³
No use calling Ishita dumb, Shagun is dumber. Romi of course is the dumbest.
From here the story moves on to Romi's current kaand, for which he shall be beaten with a saucepan on the head (can anyone say Tom and Jerry?π) and then ignored for about a week and Ishita will again mend the relationship cracks.
I get that Romi is a loving son and brother and probably a good person by heart but inherently he is selfish. And I really want Toshi - who is primarily responsible for it - to look into her upbringing for it. Even Raman was once blinded by HIS wife and HIS son and Romi is always just about HIMself and Simmi was also once blind and selfish when the Param fiasco came to light. There is absolutely something wrong with the way they handle their kids - the same thing is now happening with Adi and to a certain extent Ruhi. Raman and Simmi have paid their dues for their blow-ups, now it's seriously time for Romi to understand where his faults lie and correct them. Or else, this track is useless and probably just another scapegoat to keep Shagun on our screens for some more time.π΅
I was surprised by Shagun's non-emotive reaction to her OWN daughter's jibe that she is Ishita's daughter. Maybe it was AH's acting ot simply Shagun's character - but there was no feeling of remorse or shame or regret on her face. How could you be so blase about losing the kid you carried for nine months and not feel a figurative slap on your face when she indirectly says that she would rather have been born to the woman who feel does not deserve anything? When she actually believes that she was supposed to be in someone else' womb? How could you just stand there and act so impassive?π€π³
Overall, a good episode with a generous dose of RKB and IshRaRu added to it. The acting by KP, DT, RD and Abhay and Neena - ji was phenomenal today.
