"'Oh, Jane! my hope - my love - my life!'
broke in anguish from his lips."
~Charlotte Bronte


The scene that ripped my heart apart was the one where both Raman and Ruhi are embracing Ishita like dear life and pleading with her to be back...as she IS their life...


And Adi's shocked silence, to his rejecting Shagun and declaring Ishita as Ishima...beautifully done.

An episode with too many feels.

And Karan was totally top notch today...not surprising as he's great at emoting...but his frantic search...to him pleading with Ishita to open her eyes...every emotion was perfectly depicted!

Updated:
Sorry I couldn't find clear feed so had to make thes collages with watermark in the middle ... I was just blown away by these moments in the episode...I know all of you will do a much better job describing them so I'm just posting the collages:

Raman's frantic search and his despair:


A moment where his marriage moments flashed through his eyes:


A daughter's moment of reminiscing her Ishima:


The most heart touching scene of the episode for me:


Shagun's admission : "Har gayi main apne bachcho ke aage..."



the episode took an emotional toll on me...so can't come up with anything to write about. I forgot to mention in the original post...about Ruhaanika's acting prowess...which is of flawless category...nothing less today. Today again Gautam delivered Adi's feelings: shock, processing and final rejection of Shagun as a mother... and Anita H today was brilliant too in expressing Shagun's guilt, remorse and acceptance of fault in losing her two children because of her own ego and selfishness.

Hi Gan,

Awesome picture depicted the whole episode in that one picture.

Once again big congratulation to the whole team of YHM in all departments it was beautifully done.👏
Special mention to CV they can deliver soul stirring episode👏👏. Hope they continue with the show like episodes like this.

I am not sure where to start

I will start with Shagun. AH acted so well👏👏. I never thought I would feel anything other than hate for her but today I only felt pity for her she gambled and lost everything in the process.

I always thought she wanted a hold on to Raman but she loved herself more so that is why she went in search for a better provider to accommodate her needs but she could not stand to see Raman falling in love with Ishita as she thought she will be the only person to hold his heart as it was the case until Ishita came into his life. She also realized that what Raman has for Ishita is hundred times stronger than what he had for her because Raman was young when he married her so fell in love with her outer beauty but with Ishita he fell in love with her inner beauty. The outer beauty is only a shell it can fade away one day as was the case with Raman.

Shagun was always jealous of Ishita because she took a broken man and put all the pieces back together to form a perfect live for her so she wanted to destroy Ishita as she believed because of her only Raman love for her was destroyed so she was trying to take the only thing that mattered to her rival the most was the kids but in the process she lost them.

Apart from her the next person she loved was Adi that was portrayed beautifully when the police takes the childrens to ambulance she only called out to Adi and not Ruhi. Ruhi anger did give a thought may be she did a mistake but It took Adi rejection for her to realize that she has lost everything which are precious in life due to her fault.

Shagun first hand saw what hold Ishita has on the family. How much her husband loved her and was frantically trying to find her. How much her daughter loved her she was shouting to get help from random people to save her mom. How much her son loved her that he would throw away the one thing that had been constant in his uprooted life. How much the family loved her that they did not even bother asking her why she took the kids everyone of them was worried for Ishita. Shagun finally realized the truth which Ishita said to her in the spa that she would give anything away expect her family as Shagun realized she doesn't have anything in life and Ishita has a family who is there to take care of her.

Coming to Adi. Kudoos to Gautham for portraying Adi👏👏👏 character so well. In the initial stages hated him, then felt pity for him, hated him, liked him and finally cheering him on now that he broke all ties with a witch.

Today it was a poignant moment for him. He was trying to be a big brother trying to tell his sister that she should talk to elders with respect but got a shock of his life when Ruhi told him that his mom left him in the fire and ran away. He enacted very well as of the kid whose heart had been broken by the person who he trusted most going into shock and trying to process the whole scenario.

In the ambulance he was still trying to process that is why he was quiet when the family came but once when he was with Rinki and the realization came for him that his true mother saved him he wanted to go out to find her and not sit in the ambulance. He was stating it was all his fault that she was in danger.

When they found Ishita and were taking her to hospital and Shagun came and told him that there are so many people for Ishita but she has no one would he not stay with her they subtlety and surety in which he said that she is nothing to him only Ishita is his Ishima was good because this is the same dialogue she used when they moved into the Bhalla house and to give Shagun a place in the family he wantedly took wrong medication to throw Ishita out of the house. Kudoos to CV for giving the same dialogue but with vast difference in showing that Adi has changed for good.

Gautham 👏👏enacted very well in this scene bringing out difference in both the scene in this one he showed he has accepted Ishita as his mom and the previous one showed hated for Ishita for the same dialogues from Shagun.


Coming to Ruhi,Hats of to Ruhanika for superb acting👏

Ruhi was the protective little sister guarding her vulnerable brother from a person who gave birth to them. Ruhi has accepted that Shagun did not love her but a corner part of the heart always was hoping that one day Shagun would reciprocate a small part of the love. She also believed that Shagun at least loved Adi but that belief also shattered when she ran away trying to save herself first. When Shagun come to see if Adi was okay she appointed herself as the guardian for him and shooed the hand which was placed on her brother saying to her that she doesn't have any value for them.

When her brother tried to stop her she explained to him what happened finally lifting the veil from her brother as to Shagun intentions. I liked the way how her eyes spoke volumes than what she was letting out. The final nail in Shagun coffin was she told the police she is not there mom.

Ruhi explaining to the family what happened was spot on as her brother was still in shock and processing about Shagun.

I liked the part where Ruhi found Ishita first. Once again I have to give to the CV for bringing in such subtlety Ruhi is the one who found Ishita for Raman first even though he married her for Ruhi but at the time hated her but now again Ruhi found Ishita for Raman this time around Raman is in love with Ishita so they have completed the circle starting from hate to love both times Ruhi finds Ishita for Raman playing the cupid.❤️

Coming to Ishita, Great acting by Diyanka👏 because it takes such acting skills to show that you are lifeless when in fact you are a normal breathing human being. She did not have much to do today but still I liked the her acting today.

Coming to Raman, Hats of to Karan.👏. There are no words for me to express his acting skills but still I will try.

Starting of the episode we saw a frantic husband searching for his wife. He was stumbling looking at each lady that may be that is his Ishita and hope dwindling when it was someone else. Looking at the corpse with dread and hope rekindling when it was someone else.

He portrayed the frantic husband very well. When the ACP said that Ishita may be no more my god the expression were bang on as he became a lifeless statue because without her he doesn't have a life. I really liked the flashback scene into the marriage because no matter you do it willing or out of compulsion my take on the marriage rituals is the rituals have their own sacred magic in them so he remembers her promise to him that she will not leave him alone during the pheres and comes out of the trance uttering no no no my god that was such a poignant scene.

Then again with renewed belief in the marriage vows he starts searching for her. ACP pulls him out from the debris as he was going into dangerous zone. It took ACP and Romi to hold him back but when he saw that his Ruhi was running into the danger zone he pushed both of them back and ran after her to save her. I really liked the way Raman modulated the voice when talking to Ruhi masking his terror that she should not be running into a dangerous area. It showed the father in him came first.

When Ruhi pointed out Ishita hand there was relief for a second in face and then he made sure Ruhi was safe and went to bring back his wife. The scene where he places his ears on her chest to hear heart beat stole the show for me and the hug with IshRaRu showed that they cannot be separated and I was going awe

The relief he found in find Ishita melted away when he could not detect any movement from her so he started calling her and asking Ruhi to wake her up forgetting he is the adult in the relationship and asking Ruhi to call her too because he knew that Ishita could not stand to see her kid crying at that point it did not matter to him whether she would wake up listening to him or to Ruhi or to anyone he just wanted her to be up.

The scene in the ambulance was good it showed a desperate husband asking the doctor why his wife is not breathing and then a father who masked his emotions to calm his daughter so that her mother can be taken to the hospital.

All the characters enacted beautifully but Raman stole the show for me.

Last but not the least three lives( Raman, Ruhi and Adi) are waiting for their soul(Ishita) to come back to them.

Touch wood the CV have delivered the second day too hope this continues.

I never thought I would write this long post but today episode made me see it as a whole package instead of a stand alone episode.

"I'll fight it. I'll fight it for you. Don't you worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. I'll find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time."

~John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

"All my life I've been searching for you. How did I survive in this world before you? Cause I don't wanna live another day without you now."

~Derek Shepherd, Grey's Anatomy

I'm speechless today. I don't if I'll do justice to the episode because it was beyond what I could have imagined. KP and RD take a bow because you both stole the show today. RD two days in a row and she has been beyond perfect.

I don't know how to express my feelings today or even analysis the episode. So ill try my best. I have never been a fan of AH's portrayal of Shagun but today she won me over. She beautiful showcased Shagun's regard and even for a few minutes her denial. I always knew that the only way she would realize her mistakes was the day Adi refused to acknowledge her as his mother and that's what exactly happen. Like you said Adi's transition from saying Ishita Aunty of Ishimaa was beautiful. Even as children we expect our mothers to protect us because we the safest in our mothers laps. Adi never thought that his mother would walk away from him when he was in danger. The person who he loved the most ran away when she should have protected him. That betrayal was the last straw for Adi and he realised what a mother really is. Him even wanting to go find her and when he ran to her to find out to make sure she is okay.

The last scene was heartbreaking to watch. I had goosebumps on arms. From both Ruman going frantic to find their life line to when finding out she wasnt breathing, the whole time I had goosebumps because it was beyond realistic. Raman kept telling Ruhi to wake Ishita up and Ruhi kept telling Raman to tell Ishita to wake up. If Raman and Ruhi are Ishita's world, then she is their life line. Before her they both were alive but when she entered their lives, they both finally lived. Watching their life line and not breathing in front of them must having taking their every living soul inside of them. I am happy they didn't show Ruhi just finding Ishita or Raman just finding Ishita because the scene would have just felt incomplete. Both Ruman finding her felt complete because these two are her world and if one was missing from the scene it would haven't have had the impact that both a husband and child being there had.

The confrontation between Shagun and her children were both on point. Ruhi refused to finally disown Shagun after Shagun ran out on them when they needed her the most. And because of her, her Ishimaa was under a building. Adi scene with Shagun was the most I was looking forward to because the person who Shagun wronged the most was Adi, the only person who loved her unconditionally. Now Shagun has no one and I am finally glad she stopped blaming Ishita and realised it was all due to her.

One thing I would like to say the cvs have done a wonderful job with the earthquake track. I hope through this track people have some sort of idea of how people of Nepal are feeling. I hope that people can help out the best way they can and donate.

Where to begin about today's episode?

Raman: This man has lived through so much, and my heart constantly goes out to him. He battled his demons of insecurity and sheer hatred to find a beautiful life with Ishita and his children.

He saw his daughter rushed to the hospital, but couldn't give blood to her out of fear that he may actually learn she was not his. He saw the woman he married and respect put herself in danger the night of the riots, but he could only watch. He saw his wife, his friend, in a hospital bed from exhaustion, only to realize he knew nothing about her. He believed he lost his wife and daughter forever when he was told a woman and child were found in the morgue. He saw his son contemplate suicide. And now, this man was informed that the woman, who helped breathe life back into him, is lying under a pile of rubble.

Raman is incredibly flawed, but at his very core he loves passionately and deeply. To see him on the brink of loss yet again today breaks my heart but also excites me to see how he will help his family move forward.

Sort of related, but it's been on my mind for a while so I thought why not include it here. 😃...It may be futile, but I do wish that we will see a track focused on fatherhood or the role of a man in a family. Because we as a society need to celebrate both motherhood & fatherhood. The relationship between a child and their father is important, especially for young boys. When we as a collective society fail our boys, so it would be incredibly refreshing for this show to be a platform for that message.

As for KP - I don't even know what to say. This man is an actor in his own league, and sets the bar incredibly high for desi TV.

Ruhi: She's seen so much sadness and grief in her mere 7 years of existence, but she never gave up hope on anyone. But today, her biological mother has forever scarred her and unfortunately taken a piece of Ruhi's childhood with her. Ruhi is Ishita and Raman's daughter through & through. Every characteristic she possesses is from them. As they touched on during the girl child track, Ruhi may have been born through Shagun, but she was meant for Ishita. Ishita has always been a guiding light for Ruhi, and Ruhi has been Ishita's strongest advocate. Now this little girl, who has often been insecure about her family's stability, sees the pillar of the family in lifeless. That sight leaves a certain kind of scar in a child...

How is RD just 7/8? She is evidence that some people are born with sheer talent, and I truly hope that despite this fame, she grows up in a positive environment and continues to take the entertainment industry by storm.

Ishita: She was not present in the episode, but she was. This is what Ishita needs. For someone rejected by many on the basis of her inability to have children...to have unconditional acceptance and need from a family is more than healing. Raman, Ruhi, and now Adi complete her. She was a happy, confident woman before the Bhallas came into her life, but she was not alive either. Just like Raman was a living corpse for 6 years, Ishita, too, had no compass. Then Ruhi came into her life and brought Ishita this loud, boisterous, mistake-making Bhalla family.

Now the Ishita, who fought against destiny to capture the love and happiness, is fighting for her life, but she would be proud to know of the extensive network of supporters she now has all thanks to her daughter.

DT, while not in center stage, never failed to make her presence known.

Adi: My heart breaks for him. For 6 years, he treated his father like crap because he was told his father abandoned him. For 6 years, his family was centered around Ashok dad and Shagun, but then Ashok drifted away from Shagun and Adi was left to be the man in his mother's life. He trusted her and was willing to put his life at risk for his mother's happiness. Even being abandoned by her during the child swap, his love for her never lessened. He questioned his status in her life, but he never once stopped loving her. When he chose to live with the Bhallas, he still tried to engage his mother.

Now he has realized his mother's selfishness. Does he hate her? I don't know. Can he actually hate her?

GA has come so far over the course of this show, and it will be be wonderful to see him continue to flourish on screen.

Shagun: Today Shagun realized what her selfishness had lead to. Is she upset because she is alone or is she upset because she realized that she permanently damaged the one relationship that mattered to her? She deserves the rejection from her children for using them as pawns in her manic desire to get revenge, but I still felt something towards Shagun. I can't define it. Maybe it's pity that when she lost her life with Ashok, she gave up a part of her humanity to try to "survive." And when that didn't work, she gave up more of herself for "revenge."

I don't blame Shagun 100% for leaving Raman if she wasn't happy. I blame her for being callous to the poor guy and for poisoning her son's mind back then. But the loss she faces now is a result of her darkness and selfishness.

I find it so interesting that the one person she accepted her defeat to was the man for whom she gave up the life that Ishita now has.

This show shows the difference between a woman who can give birth and a mother who can give love, but I think that no matter what...Ishita and Raman will be grateful for Shagun. Because Shagun isn't a parent, but she was the one who allowed Raman and Ishita to become parents. What this says about a woman's ability to conceive...I don't know, but she and Ishita prove that just the ability to give birth doesn't mean anything.

I personally feel AH did a wonderful job today. I could feel her sense of loss, and while I don't know what I feel for Shagun...AH stirred emotions in me for this 'negative character.'

---

For someone who has been very frustrated with lack of delicacy on this show, I am so happy the CVs have tried to hit the correct emotions with this track. I don't know what the future of this show holds, but today and yesterday restore some of my faith in the CVs and more importantly restored some of my emotional attachment.
---

As for the acting, every member of the cast - leads & supporting casting were on point. When the story fails us, these actors somehow still make everything look beautiful. I am proud to be a viewer of this show for the sheer brilliance of acting.

The cast of this show don't just work as actors. They flawlessly breath life into fiction. I respect the sheer talent these people possess, and EK for having the eye to bring such talent together.

---

If anyone actually read this...congrats! 👏 I just couldn't help myself because for once in a really really really long time I feel really emotionally invested with this show.

Gan - I apologize for updating an atrociously long post before you updated, but I'm running a wee bit short on time today and really needed to write out some of my feels before moving on! 😳

Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster - Sun Tzu

This one quote defines the current track. They never knew about Shagun nor Ashok entirely. Did they? But yes good come things in the hardest of times. Adi called Ishitha his mom his Ishima but she was nowhere near to listen to those words. Adi's father wanted his family complete and always wanted Ishitha to be Adi's Ishima. She did become but he was not in a position to even console himself let alone hear. Ruhi wanted her brother with her forever, but the poor kid was trying to revive her poor mother from the grave. Three broken hearts all crying for one lady, their life 😭❤️.

Ego is an exquisite instrument. Enjoy it, use it - Just don't get lost in it:

He married her for Ruhi but their relation had crossed that line long back and today there was one more person who had to witness that. Shagun claimed that she hated her life with Raman but did she really? That was one reason she never wanted to see him happy and at the same time, she was confident that he loved her unconditionally but today she witnessed unconditional love. A motherly love who could not conceive gave her life for her step children and a man who got affected by her mere presence was crying, trembling and shivering for his wife. It takes a lot for your own kid to say you are not my mother anymore and will not show you my face again and Ruhi never really accepted Shagun as her mother but somewhere deep down she had this love for her but all that dried the minute she walked out when she asked her to save her brother. The boy grew up listening to his mother and to hear all this on such a disastrous day pushed the boy to a point beyond shock. There was this remorse I witnessed on Shagun's face when ruhi said she was no one to them and whatever the reasons may be she did have something for Adi. When the kids walked off with the guard she shouted for Adi not once for Ruhi. That does tell a lot of things and now she has lost it once and for all.

My family is my strength and my weakness:

KP .. Kudos to you for such a brilliant acting 👏. He opened the sheet which covered every corpse just to confirm his wife was safe but the minute when ACP said everything was over, the way he shivered and stumbled was just .. Brilliant performance. Their flashback moments and the word "Nahi" that kept coming out of his mouth just shows how much he loves her and his emotions were bang on.

RD's yet another brilliant performance 👏. She managed to reach the forbidden area and looked towards the sky shouting for her mother who came like an angel and saved her. She yelled to the same moon reminiscing her moments and requesting to send her Ishima back to her. This kid will come a long way. On the other side Gautam pulled it off again. His guilt for pushing her in this condition for no fault of his. They never really showed their bonding till date but the bonding between Ishitha and Adi has definitely taken a beautiful shape from where it started.

Unconditional love comes out of a broken heart that has been healed:

This was one hug that I was waiting for when the spoilers spoke about Raman saving Ishitha 😳. He squished her to his chest and cried. Both loved each other dearly but he knew if it was someone who could wake up Ishitha it is Ruhi. Such is their relationship. IshRaRu ❤️ hug was again heart wrenching and I cried there. KP's expression when he shouts "Stretcher ko le aao" was just fab. Then came the final confrontation between shagun and Adi. He even shrugged his mother's hands the hands which he loved the most. Her mask was ripped apart and it took Adi's hatred for her to realize what she has lost to her selfishness and ego. I loved it when Adi said Ishitha aunty is my mom my Ishima. I saw that scene a couple of times and after all the tears that line made me smile. Finally Shagun did realize that she lost everything to Ishitha. Remembering the parlor encountering between Shagun and Ishitha here, when Ishitha said she will never let go of anything that belonged to her. Her three priceless treasures Ruhi, Raman and Adi.

On the whole, it was a soul stirring, heart wrenching, emotionally draining episode. Did not want to say this yesterday and get disappointed today. These two episodes are one reason why I can never bring myself to stop watching YHM however bad a track is. Kudos to the entire crew and cast. They deserve all the awards and accolades 👏👏.

Will post the GIFs after mediastar uplaods the episode and they take forever these days 😡

What an episode!!

YHM is the only Indian show that can make me afraid and cry (hasn't happened simultaneously though)!

Raman's frantic runs and Ruhi's wails for her mother, the family's try to break through the barriers- it was all so real and so emotionally draining!!

The montages of Ishita and Raman's wedding, Ruhi and her bonding- tugged at the right strings of heart.

Raman asking Ruhi to get Ishita back- it doesn't get more honest. Ruhi was the one who brought Ishita into his life and he was asking her to do that again.

I was on the verge of tears the whole episode and they managed to escape when Adi denied to acknowledge Shagun as his mother and declared that Ishima was his mom. I absolutely loved how the scene wasn't over dramatized. It didn't seem like he was saying those words out of trauma or anger- he said them upon realization!!

Karan and Ruhanika were amazing tonight. Episodes like this can make me forget at least 10 crappy ones, so great job tonight, YHM CVs.

It was indeed gut wrenching and for the first time in years I actually cried watching a daily soap episode. The way Ruhi cried out for her mother, the way Adi felt for Ishita aunty, the way Adi rejected Shagun who was still at it, telling her in no uncertain terms that Ishima is now his mom. The way Raman searched for Ishita, how the Bhallas were all crying for Ishita. It was as if their soul was wrenched away from their bodies- none wanted to imagine a life without Ishita.


Looks like Shagun did feel for her kids finally and maybe somewhat for Ishita too - a spoiler pic shows her in hospital!


What I didnot understand was why were they all pulling Raman back? It is not as if there were bombs waiting there to explode. There was rubble there and Raman cud have continued his search! Loved, loved that Ruhi never gave up and finally found her Ishima!


All actors were good, esp Ruhanika and KP who had nearly the whole episode to show their talent.


So now I wud like to say to ishita bashers that had Ishita not been burried in the rubble for her so called super act, Raman wud not have been able to react this way😉
