I am back in the forum and to review-writing after so long, it feels alien penning down my thoughts on the episode. God! It feels like an eternity since I last posted my review. Watched the episode in the evening itself, but was stuck with some work so writing it now.
On a side note, Rinky blamed Raman for having changed and thinking only about his wife. Wow. She had the nerve to say this after Raman threw Ishu out of the house, blaming her for Mihika-Mihir-Rinky fiasco. Heck! These stupid Bhallas are ALWAYS out with a new problem, so much so, that we haven't been able to GET a consummation scene even after 1.5. plus years of YHM watching😡 Family drama se fursat mile toh na kuch ho
Also, to all those who were worried about my health, rest assured, I wasn't on sick leave.😊 As much as you guys missed my reviews, I missed writing them and interacting with you guys even more. So am glad to be back🤗
Now, to the review.
Since all of you must've already watched the episode, I shall not plunge into a chronological sequence of 'events' splattered with my wit and sparkle in every paragraph😃, but will simply hit the note which has had most of us shaking our heads in disgust the last couple of days or so.
First off, I literally am UNABLE to digest Shagun's acchai and her newfound newly blossomed virtuosity- right from the demure gentle expression on her face, to the lack of whiffs and airs about her, to the "Nahin. Raman and Ishita have moved on. Main already unhe bahut pareshan kar chuki hun" internal dialogue said out aloud each time she hears the slightest mention of Delhi..has me raising my eyebrows each time I see on screen. Each time. Its like am watching a horror movie with rapt attention, waiting for the spirit/ghost to turn up anytime from some unexpected corner and scare the shit outta me. That's how MUCH I believe Shagun's transformation into a GOOD HUMAN BEING🤔
Speaking of working for an NGO, I do not intend to belittle people who work for NGOs...coz its an honourable, noble thing to do..and there are many socially conscious fine, brave passionate people who give up the usual comforts of life working for more lucrative jobs, and work for NGOs instead...to help the society..and even some of them who have the cushioned financial security in the form of rich spouses/well-to-do families manage to live off their humble earnings ...but Shagun has neither of these two privileges and yet we saw her in that swanky black car a couple of weeks ago, and we still see those designer outfits and chunky jewellery on her. How does she afford all this?😲
Anyway, now coming to the ABSOLUTELY SMASHING INTENSE FAMILY DRAMA that took place today.😎
Rinki has ABSOLUTELY lost it. That's all I can say for her. Despite claiming to be an Australia-return educated smart woman, she thinks Mihir does no real work as a CEO simply because he keeps saying "Bhai, Bhai" twenty times a day huh? Her stupid friend simply gurgled some shit about CEO and all being casual ostentatious professional tags with no substantial weightage as such and she took it at face value. If she DID feel bad about the "Mihir mere under kaam karta hai" wali baat, then she should've ideally confronted Raman and ASKED him if he had actually said something like that. Then she would've known Raman actually said "Mihir mere SAATH kaam karta hai". That one line should've made her realise that Raman treats Mihir as an equal, respects him as a professional and doesnt take him for granted. And anyway, if Raman was predisposed to making his family members hog his company's gates, he would've let Romi work for his company instead of letting him struggle to find a job. After all, Mihir is LIKE a brother, but Romi IS his blood.
And anyway, its hard to believe Mihir doesnt already own some shares in the company. Raman is already planning something big for Mihir. So why the hurry?
Instead of talking down to Ishita and making those bitchy faces, she should've had a talk with Raman if she was so miffed with the transfer thing. For starters, I feel the Bhalla family is an ungrateful lot, barring Raman and Ishita (and of course, the kids). Raman is a self-made man and all the fortune, all the luxury the Bhallas are living in right now, has been earned by him. Down to the last penny. He has built it all with his sweat and blood. And ALL of which he earns goes in paying the rent of that humongous house the Bhallas live in, to the food they eat, to the shopping they indulge in, to the medical expenses, vacations, to the excesses Romi incurs from time to time, et al. Everything. Ishita's earnings as a dentist are probably 3-4% of the entire pool.
So it can be safely assumed that the Bhallas have managed to have a jolly good time since years and years, solely because Raman has worked tirelessly to make THEIR lives secured. And that includes the company as well. Legally, the siblings have no right over the same and he can transfer it to Ishita if he so wishes to. After he has done so much for them and still continues to do so, it would be unfair of the siblings to expect he's going to give it off just like that, without taking his wife and kids into consideration.
Bloody hell, months ago Rinky wanted a destination wedding and Raman was willing to SPLURGE on her. Simmi's wedding got called off, else it would also have been a grand affair. So what makes Rinki think he has changed, forgotten them all blah blah?😡
When it comes to finances, why do family members start showing their true colours? Ideally, in this big bad world, if tomorrow Raman were to die, leaving the company and the state of its affairs to any of his siblings, then chances are, MAYBE Ishita and the kids would've suffered in time...since people change as and when time passes...and with Romi getting married to Sarika in a few days and their baccha coming into place, many legal questions might've come up...and chances are - Ishu and the kids might end up getting shortchanged.
Raman is perfectly entitled to do what he did ...and his reasons for trusting Ishita over the others is BANG ON. Honestly speaking, he cannot entrust such a huge responsibility to his parents and leave them to take care of such complex state of affairs at their age. Heck. THEY need caring. NONE of siblings currently have the sensibility, the acumen or the sense of responsibility or the mental strength to take care of a thing as huge as a company. Plus, Ishita is Raman's legally wedded wife. So she and the kids are the ones who inherit his acquired, self-made property.
Why does Rinky forget this?
And plus, the will is not irrevocable. It can be amended later on. It was made at a juncture where Raman was undergoing an inner turmoil related to the duration of his life span😆 Rinky needn't have jumped to this conclusion...she should've given it time. I mean, come on...Raman didnt HAVE TO make Mihir a CEO. But he did. Coz Raman truly believes Mihir DESERVES it. He has EARNED it. So why couldn't she have juggled her leftover brains and understood that her brother will give Mihir what he deserves when he finds the time is right??
Rinky's argument - that Ishita doesnt even know the ABC of business is true, to a certain degree. But the legality of Ishita being the rightful inheritor of her husband's property cannot be quashed in any court of law. Also, I know of people belonging to business families...who hadnt ever stepped out of the confines of their plush homes and know ZILCH of business, but have been forced to go out into the world and travel and meet new people and tackle complete arseholes and make new strategies..at the death of the business head and the crashing on responsibility on their shoulders. So it essentially boils down to the fact that, when one MUST do, one does..and eventually ends up doing it well. So she needn't be concerned about that.
And Bhalla ji was so OUT OF CHARACTER. I mean, he hardly speaks A WORD even when he sees Raman and Ishita fighting ...and Raman mouthing all sorts of mean things and asking her to get lost and dafa ho jao et al...he must've said, "Yeh mera ghar hai" to Ishita COUNTLESS times earlier. Was Mr.Bhalla suffering from a ear infection then? Coz he hardly any expressions on...and today when Raman said the same to Rinky, he blasted Raman left, right and centre. Wow. The sheer hypocrisy of this attitude😡 This, when Rinky WAS wrong.
I LOVED it when Raman yelled at Rinky AND Sr. Bhalla and asked them to speak respectfully with his wife. It sounded like, "She's my wife dammit. Lay off"👏 Loved it. So much spunk. It added to his already steely hotness. Haye😆
Personally, even though in SPIRIT, Raman thinks of the house as everybody's house, "hamara ghar"...it doesnt sound as effective as "YEH MERA GHAR HAI" sounds during a fight, naaeen?😆 Just kidding. Imagine if he were to say, "Nikal jaa yahan se. Yeh mera, Ishita ka, Mummy Papa, Simmi, Ananya, Adi, Ruhi aur Romi ka ghar hai"...KUCH BHI. Bas baat ko kheech ke drama karna hai.😆
Ishita was right. Raman MEANS well. But he should really take care of the way he speaks. People misunderstand him coz of the same. But heck? He has been like that SINCE FOREVER now, hasnt he? SO WHY IS IT PRICKING RINKI AND BHALLA JI IN THE WRONG PLACES NOW???? Such idiots... Mr.Bhalla says, "Mera beta mere budhape ka sahara banega"
Does he think he is still 45 or something? Raman IS taking quite good care of 65plus Mr.Bhalla and everybody else and he NEEDS TO CALM THE HECK DOWN and not insinuate mean things. They need to give Raman a break yaar. Was mighty pissed how everybody was just swooping down on him. Rinky definitely instigated Oldie Bhalla against Raman, and the way she called Ishita, "ISS AURAT KE LIYE" I kind of fumed. Horrible way of speaking😡
Also, Raman doesnt need to SHOW Mr.Bhallas that he pays the bills and everything. If he went about doing all that abominable stuff, he wouldn't get the time to start a new company and all. Oldie Bhalla simply took it out of context. Instead of asking the Raman what the matter was, he kept harping on that one line over and over again, "Kya tu dikhana chahta hai ki iss ghar ko tu chalata hai?" I dont want to sound like Im justifying Raman speaking with Rinky like that, but these days its rare to find such a devoted husband and son and brother like Raman who is honestly, MUCH selfless than so many real ones lurking amongst the half a billion men in this country. NEVER has he stepped down when it comes to securing his siblings' lives. NEVER. Its always the wife or the kids or his boy-crazy pagal mother or oldie Bhalla or whoever.
And I know it sounds crude, but the one who takes on the most responsibility and handles everything IS the one most entitled to make decisions in the family. Because he is the one endowed with the best foresight and sensibility and maturity. And yet, his crazy family keeps doing something or the other each time and no matter how much he roars, he softens up in no time and tries to do damage control. Be it Simmi's lack of brains and the ensuing Param kaand, Romi's numerous kaands, Toshi's madness and Adi obsession leading to the gruesome custody battle and filmy adla badli... He only wants their best.
When Ishita said, "Hum kyun jayenge hamara ghar chhodke?" Rinky and Oldie Bhalla AGAIN pressed hard on Raman. Uff...the entire drama was based on hamara, tumhara.
Mihir TRULY REALLY loves Raman. And respects and honors him more than his own siblings do. He TRUSTS Raman and knows his bhai well. And knows Raman does the right things at the right time. Was happy to see him yelling at Rinky and asking her some pertinent questions...I mean seriously...I am not against meeting up with friends and chilling out...and I dont think marriage is the be-all and end-all of life...but everyday...?Every night? And then treating your husband like a second class citizen? Sorry. Not done at all.😡
If Rinky continues to be the bitch that she is behaving like, then I'm afraid she and Mihir might encounter HUGE problems in their married life. These days she treats Mihir like a trophy husband. She fought for it, and she got it. Now he can sadhofy on some dusty shelf for all she cares.
Sigh. Sorry. The post went on and on and on.😳 I HAD to vent it all out, coz I just feel so icky when Bhalla family started blaming Raman for things he is actually not guilty of. I was so moved by his honest, heartfelt discussion with Ishita...the tears...the pain stuck at the throat...the clenched chest..aww...my heart went out to him. 😭 Probably this is how men feel in the close confines of a dark room, buckling down under the pressure and the dictats of the society. Oldie Bhallas are being much too harsh on Raman. Just because he is the oldest of the siblings, doesnt mean he has to sacrifice his whole life ensuring their happiness and security and this and that.
Oldie Bhallas would do well to remind the younger ones of their own responsibility as well...and push them to be independent instead of constantly depending on Raman for everything. Ufff.
P.S. Bhalla family has a penchant for distasteful family drama even in the presence of outsiders. And though Sarika is soon going to be inducted into the family soon and is technically NOT an outsider, it would've still looked decent had they put this drama on hold for later. Why wash your dirty linen in public and why give your would-be DIL a glimpse into your fragile, messed up familial relations baba??
PRECAP - Rinky, I guess, is the new bitch/witch in YHM town. I mean, she is so HELL-BENT on securing her "rights" that she is willing to crack sinister deals with Ashok?? I mean really! WHO NEEDS ENEMIES WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH SIBLINGS? Ashok is planning to do some ghapla in the juice packaging going out from Raman's company's factory on 15th August. I hope, for heaven's sakes, that Rinky wouldn't be the one doing this stupidity
Oldie Bhalla wants nothing to do with the veggies and the groceries bought by the "Master of the house" and his wifey. Hilarious.🤣 Then he should get ready to cough up atleast 40K of rent as well...his 'bhara-poora phamily's share' 😆 Such nautanki...once he realises his pension amount isnt enuff for his own expenses, then the whole lot of them will come back to their senses...😆
But as much as I felt like wringing Rinky's neck today, I kinda like this intense family drama. SO REAL. SO RELATABLE. 😛 And its not been executed in the pathetic way SNS scenes have...YHM family drama was crisp and damn classy😆
P.S. I miss ACP and Mihika. And Amma too😭
P.S. Men and women REALLY think differently no? Rinky fumed and exploded into pieces coz she believed Raman to have said that Mihir worked under him. On the other hand, Mihir was nonchalant and completely at ease with what Raman MIGHT have said (but he actually did not)...stating that he DOES WORK UNDER Raman. Women can be nitpicking as hell naaeen??😆
P.S. In India, why is it so hard for people to digest the fact that people change after marriage? I mean, its such a huge event in a person's life...how can he NOT change? Filmy dialogues such as, "Tum badal chuke ho" blah blah sound so idiotic. And its not like after marriage, Raman started torturing his own family members with a whiplash and made them do jhadu-pocchha and eat two sookha-rookha meals and not spend a penny on them
P.S. Ishu truly, truly loves Raman. She would set out in exile to a foreign land, if Raman were to leave everything behind and just walk out ...she would tag along...she loves him so much...and I love them so much...Gosh! They are INCREDIBLE!👏
On a side note, Rinky blamed Raman for having changed and thinking only about his wife. Wow. She had the nerve to say this after Raman threw Ishu out of the house, blaming her for Mihika-Mihir-Rinky fiasco. Heck! These stupid Bhallas are ALWAYS out with a new problem, so much so, that we haven't been able to GET a consummation scene even after 1.5. plus years of YHM watching😡 Family drama se fursat mile toh na kuch ho
