Hey Gan
I dont know where to begin today cause frankly I am lost here.
When we had the SBS segment earlier I had hoped against hope for the news of Ishita being pregnant to be a dream sequence of either of the couple but turns out that the joke is on us and it happened and all due to a tantrum and a prayer by Ruhi.
I really dont know what I am disappointed by more here - Ishita' miracle pregnancy or Ruhi' tantrum,
The very fact that its so absurd that all her life the woman who was shunned and suffered the barbs of humiliation, was even dumped by her fiance when it came out she could not become a mother announced last night within weeks of doing the deed for the first (I wont say the only time, because lets be real here, Ha, they arent gonna show beyond the first night any instance of the couple having sex, and we did have episodes in between where we never saw the couple in their bedroom indulging in some much needed loving in the day/night/early morning except for some scenes where they had a few conversations) which makes a mockery, a joke and an insult all at once, the women who identified with Ishita were humiliated here when this was shown because despite years of trying with treatments and all, some of them never get pregnant, and here it seemed all Ishita needed was to lose her cherry, sorry if I am being crude here...
And then there was Ruhi who once again landed at the hospital all by herself after accidentally dropping by and hearing the conversation that her parents were having...it just pains me to see the character I adored being massacred here. I dont know how the writers are even thinking here to have a seven year old butt in into this very personal aspect of her parents' life. When Ruhi played cupid it was sweet to watch the child being the reason the two parents came together now it just leaves a sour taste in the mouth and a major W*F feeling all over. I loved when Ruhi had a tantrum the first day of IshRa' marriage as she asked Ishita to feed with her hands too else she wont eat as well or the one who asked her papa to get a gift for her Ishimaa because he spoke rudely to her, I even was actually pleased when she asked Ishita a question as to why is the love between her and Raman not obvious, not visible since love can be seen, when she was disappointed in her father and believed that if he hurts her Ishimaa she could leave them and go away too, much like the mother of one of her friends and even her own birth mother Shagun...this Ruhi I cannot identify with.
I understand that you have a craze, an excitement, a feeling of euphoria to turn into an older sibling but when it cannot happen it can hurt a child too, but this obsession of Ruhi' is just not done, its simply not palatable to watch a seven year old behave like this. I wonder why cant we have a scene where Raman or Ishita or both of them explain to Ruhi she cannot just go out in the city all by herself, when she has done it for the second time now. Last night when Raman said he is upset and disappointed with her I was like finally but then she spoke of mata rani and it was enough for Puttar to shut up speaking logic and start with the philosophical rant beyond the understanding of a seven year old.
One of my favorite songs is from a movie called Masoon which goes like this
Tujhse naaraaz nahi zindagi,
hairaan hoon main
Oo hairaan hoon main
Tere masoom savalon se
pareshaan hoon main
As per me it is one of the most beautiful and sensitive movies made and the song always makes my eyes well up with the sheer poignancy of the lyrics, something about the simple words penned by Gulzar Saab just echoes with me, when earlier I saw Ruhi this song used to come to my mind. All the child wanted was to feel loved and safe, all she needed was to know she is loved and wont be abandoned ever...now that she has that security, that assurance it has changed her a lot and while that assurance, that security is a lovely thing, it has transformed the child so much that little by little the very innocence, the masoomiyat of little Ruhi is disappearing.
I dont know what they are doing here - just the other day I was chatting with the gang about the show competing with the supernatural as its competitors are ladden with snake people, ghosts, witches and vampires and what not that take stupid to a whole new level and prayed we dont see it happen to YHM because lets face it none of us wants to see Ishita battle ghosts, witches, voodoo and black magic women 😆😆😆 sorry couldnt help it 😆 we would rather see her struggle with her infertility, struggle to get pregnant and later the difficulties of a complicated pregnancy not to mention how it changes the equations which it might once we have biological child/children(?, who knows Puttar' overactive sperms could have more than one miracle popping up there) versus stepchildren than this miracle.
But instead we got miracle and well not exactly supernatural but mystical and all that jazz...and its simply taking away the charm of a show I fell in love with even more.
I wish they would tame down Ruhi and keep her away from her parents' personal life which they are entitled to, even if they married Sirf Ruhi ke Liye.
I want Ishita to not be pregnant so soon or perhaps ever, which would help maintain the nature versus nurture theme.
I want to see IshRa go for a honeymoon trip, somewhere abroad, to a place that not anyone else but the two of them should decide together, without children and family, though I doubt how a pregnant Ishita would be allowed to travel now, since the mothers would fawn over her like crazy clucking at her littlest' things and a complicated, delicate pregnancy can mean complete bedrest too.
All in all I am disappointed with the show right now more than ever, and that includes Mihika' Shagun bechari ko Ass se bachao track, yeah I knew it would happen just never imagined it to happen this way. Because I dont know whats more crazy now - a reformed Shagun who asked lord to send some doom her way and plant Raman' seed in Ishita' womb, a transformed Ruhi who is so obsessed with the baby despite having two little cousins, one in her own home and the other right next door to play with or a miracously pregnant Ishita 😒
