Beautiful collages today Gan 👏 As they say, pictures speak a thousand words. You've captured the anguish so beautifully 👏
Coming to the review, today, I beg to differ a little. I'll come to the hows and whys, but need to first let out my take on the smaller issues of other couples.
Ishita-Romi: A poignant moment. Usually it is men who help the groom overcome nervousness, and they did try, but Ishita understood that for her mischievous BIL, it is not the physical aspect of this night which is daunting, but the emotional one. She knew he ran all his life from commitment and she encouraged him to overcome his fear and begin this new journey with his better half, who has seen enough bad days already. Ishita-Romi bonding was at a different level today. I wish you could capture the scene in another collage 😳
Romi-Sarika: The scene inside their bedroom touched my heart. It was a different feeling to see an irresponsible playboy commit to a lifetime of happiness for a single person, that too whom he himself had discarded in the past. Romi, as a character, has grown so much in the love department, that I felt respect for him for saying the things that he said to Sarika. Also loved the part where he asked her to stop him from doing any wrong, because he knows himself, he knows he is prone to committing blunders in his thoughtlessness and selfishness. In return, the girl who was scorned by him & rejected by his family, felt so overwhelmed that she had nothing but her support to give. Though I'm yet to forgive him for not apologizing to Ishita, Bala & Mihir, I liked the simple promises he made to his newly wedded wife.
Mihika-Abhishek: Small moments, but cute enough for them to let us think of another step in their relationship. The authority with which Mihika got upset with Abhishek, and the restlessness with which he has constantly pursuing her, to clear things out was adorable. They have their own bitter-sweet chemistry 😳
IshRa: What can I say about them! Their love was visible in each and every thing they did today. Whether the part where Raman wanted to come closer to his beautiful wife, or the part where she wanted to go away from him for the moment. Whether her falling apart in the corridor, or his waiting for her in the bedroom. Whether her roaming out in the night waiting for him to fall asleep, or his tears in finding out the truth. It screamed of a couple who is so in love with each other, that they simply cannot bear the thought of the other falling apart.
Which is precisely why I think Ishita ran away from him. Not to hide the truth from him, or to handle this situation on her own. But to prepare herself mentally, to be able to tell him that their dream is shattered, to be able to watch him slump down. She has been through the process once before, but back then, it was only her hopes that were crushed. This time, it was a dream they wove together, a hope they cherished together. She was more hurt for his pain than hers, which is why she apologized to him while he slept. She wants to share with him, to break down in his arms, but not before she steels herself to be able to see him break down.
Same goes for Raman. His anxiety, nervousness was palpable when he spoke to the nurse on phone. His excitement when the nurse said Ishita could get pregnant, his hesitation on the word 'par' (but), and finally his slumping down. His anguish was for her. He asked the nurse not to inform Ishita, because he cannot imagine how much this would pain her. Something that she had accepted long time ago, was again being thrown in her face, that too after her hopes had been increased, and for the life of him, he couldn't understand how would she be able to handle it because it surely seems like a cruel hand of fate. And so he wants to prepare himself, to tell her, to face her.
She is living in his anguish, and he, in her agony. That is the beauty of the love they share, the bond which runs so deep that they break apart just thinking about their better half breaking apart for a dream they chose to see together.
The credit, that I, as a viewer, could feel so much and connect with, goes to Divyanka and Karan. They make Ishita & Raman alive in every possible way, embodying these complex, layered characters to the ultimate level of truth 👏 👏
