There is no telling how many miles you will have to run while chasing a dream-
to Raman Bhalla, to the man who is willing to travel the ends of the earth for making his wife's dream come true


I am sorry guys...there was a power cut in the evening...I could watch the epi only at 11😭😭


Today was definitely one of THE most poignant episodes in YHM...it obviously centered around Raman and Ishita's big loss..their baby... Needless to say, this is the one we were all waiting for, with baited breath...there were so many idiotic rumours floating around that seriously scared the hell out of..I dunno about others but it did play on my mind quite a bit😕

I have listed out some of the crowning moments in today's episode:

#1
The last few seconds before Ishita made the fatal jump...looking at the furiously plummeting speed, the road ahead, the bus teetering ominously, and clutching her stomach ...like she was hoping for a miracle...like she has no option but to jump out...like she was deeply pained doing what she had to do... my breath was caught in my throat THROUGHOUT that bit. It was so tense😲 And then when she did jump out and landed on the mattresses lying on the side, and toppled over with the force hitting a stray rock on the side...and groaned as an agonizing pain shot through her...and fell unconscious...and lay bleeding...Boy! That was so tragic...😭

But to be honest...I was glad that she was ALIVE. Considering all the shady rumours that were doing the rounds of the forum, I was RELIEVED that the CVs atleast didn't BUMP HER OFF.😕 Yes...the fatality was unfortunate, of course, but it was more than enough for me that she was alive.


#2
Ishita lost her dream...her baby...even before she was taken to the hospital, it was clear she had suffered a miscarriage. But I was OVERWHELMED to see her entire family running towards her...the minute she landed...Raman was the first to rush to her. Ruhi broke free from Abhishek's protective wrap and made a dash as well. Toshi and the other Bhallas who were behind the police barricade broke the same and rushed immediately to check on Ishita. It made me tear up.

No matter what the tragedy, as long as you have family beside you, then nothing devastating can touch you for long. I found Ishita to be extremely lucky in those precious moments...As a woman she may have lost her ONE chance at motherhood (for now)..but she had more than enough to compensate for that loss. A husband and two kids who found their entire world in her...a family that was so lost and shattered without her😭

P.S. I could be wrong but I felt Simmi had a slight smile on her face...I saw the OLV (for once, since I never find them😆) and saw how much the actors were laughing through it...Everybody got into their parts..except for Simmi who still seemed to nurse that hangover...prolly the director thought no one would care to look at her since Romi was in the lead😆


#3
The way Amma and Toshi broke down when Manoj broke the depressing news to the Bhallas...even Appa looked shaken for a minute..unke dimag mein bas yahi chal raha tha, ki Ishu ko pata chala toh woh KAISE handle karegi? Poor Iyers...ONCE in her life Ishu was so close to getting what she had always wanted..and it seemed to have got snatched away in this brutal manner.😭

Its especially so traumatic for Amma, who has been a silent spectator as well as a staunch defender of her daughter, against the cruel prejudiced blows of the society for so so long. I feel for her.😭


#4
The way Raman asked Manoj if she knew about it...Manoj said Ishita was presently unconscious so no, she didn't. It was so touching. Despite facing such a loss so suddenly, his first concern was his wife's mental health...her well-being...I guess THIS is why Raman Kumar is like NO other Indian Telly male lead. Yes, he was broken inside. But it was more about his wife, than him. Hats off👏


#5
Bhalla ji did look disturbed and upset when Manoj shared the news with them..but what made be bawl my eyes out - was the scene where Raman went to a corner, and stood there crying his heart out...trying to let the news sink in...wondering what would happen... what would he tell Ishita...the way he said, "Mera baccha.." God! There was so much LONGING in the way he said it...KP was TOP NOTCH today...just BRILLIANT! 👏👏It sent goosebumps down my spine😲

And then Bhalla ji stepped in..and hugged him...consoled him, saying - God's will was supreme ...and it had to happen...but atleast Ishita was saved in the nick of time and is fine. God willing, she would again become a mother...Bhalla ji looked genuinely shaken and was tearing up but trying hard not to let it all go, lest his son feel more shattered...it was a man-to-man talk...something I'm glad Bhalla ji was allowed to do..since Toshi herself was devastated beyond herself...

So yes, am glad Bhalla ji was chosen to be the comforting shoulder to his son..and the voice of reason in these tough times. Not only did he assure Raman he didnt have anything to feel guilty about...he reminded his son that now HE had to be strong to take care of Ishita and the kids.

The HUG that the father-son shared was so RAW. It made me cry.😭


#6
That moment when he silently went inside the ward...and checked on Ishita...holding her hand...trying to make sure she was fine. Even though Ishu was sleeping, it seemed like he conversed with her through his eyes...it was so soulful...so silent...

I will admit - I didn't like the bit where they made the foetus speak in a creepy voiceover...talking to Raman, saying "I am sorry. Main duniya mein nahin aa saki" Sounded very Hindi filmy types.


#7
But to compensate for that creative liberty the CVs took as well as the cheesiness inherent in the idea itself, I liked how Raman placed his hand on his wife's tummy...and spoke to it...saying no matter what, he wont break down, he will take care of Ishita, he will bring "him" into this world so that he could complete Raman's family...

On a sidenote, the foetus seemed to be that of a girl...but Raman addressed it as if it were a "boy"...Khair, we will let these minor things pass.😕



There were a few other moments which weren't poignant as such. But they were sort of interesting in a way😆

#8
I have no idea WHY Shagun would enter the hospital looking like Ramu Kaka, the security guard patrolling in the open in the middle of a wintry night, with a shawl for protection🤣Sorry, I HAD to mention this. She was looking like she was some hawaldar...what nonsense is this! Better to have donned the burqa than this abominable 'fashion item'😆 I adore her sentiment of wanting to check on Ishita, but I simply CANNOT get past her dress sense employed in the hospital today😃

Raman gave in to a weak moment of vulnerability and told Shagun, "Ek aakhri ummeed thi...main phir bhi kuch nai kar saka"..She told him not to blame himself...he left the scene and wandered off alone...and she thought to herself, "Main Ishita ka yeh karz kaise chukaungi...usne apne bacche ki parwah na karte huey mere bacchon ki jaan bachai" even as a lone tear dropped from her eye.

She didn't look fake or insincere or anything, but that "karz" wala dialogue was filmy...and so shall the next episodes be, I feel; since the CVs seem HELL-BENT on surrogacy track, and we will have to endure it - IF THE CVs GO AHEAD WITH IT just to make Shagun look holier-than-thou

I am just guessing, but I shall be more than happy if that is not the case.😛


#9
Even Manoj looked like he had failed miserably...like it was a personal mission ground to dust...I was like, "YES DUDE! YOU DID! First you keep telling your patient hers is a special case and she's got to be extra careful and all of that, and then you casually let her go on long journeys to far-off places throwing caution to the wind." So yes, teri medical ki degree ka achaar banana chahiye tujhe😡


I was pissed when Shagun started with the, "Atleast you can share their pain and console them. I cant even do that since they all hate me." I hated the next few minutes that were spent on WHY Shagun's acchai wasn't visible to everyone, since she was such a "good" person and all. Thankfully, Shagun clarified that she has done too many misdeeds in the past to ever qualify for their trust..and if he ever got to know of the same, he would hate her too.

On all other occasions it seems fine by me when she pours her heart out. I was especially pissed TODAY since Ishita and her devastation was the CRUX of the episode, the thing that was on everyone's minds and the thing that ideally SHOULD be the focus now..why make a detour and discuss Shagun's plight??😡 CVs have HORRIBLE timing!


#10
Loved how ACP played his part.👏 Beat Chand up...asked him all the necessary questions...clarified that Aditya Bhalla didnt mean a THING to Ashok Khanna..he is Raman Bhalla's son. I think he did the right thing by filing Ashok's complaint against Chand...he doesn't really have any hard evidence to go by to arrest Khanna or start investigations against him...so its better to first interrogate Chand, find leads in the case and conjure a solid case against him.

#11
Miss Mihir-Raman bonding during such scenes. I wonder what Mihir would've said😕 Missed Mihika too...kahan thi woh??


#12

The kids were deeply concerned...Adi and Ruhi looked so flustered and clueless and scared...but I don't know why..I was feeling irritated with the way Ruhi was again going on and on about the baby..it was grating on my nerves😡 Baby ke pictures dekhne hain, baby ka heartbeat sunna hai yada yada

To RD's credit, I loved ONE line she said "Jab Ishima ko pata chalega ki baby nai aa sakta toh woh kitni hurt hogi kitni sad hongi" That melted my heart...😭 Poor girl prolly doesn't know wht a miscarriage means ...and what it symbolises...but she knows for sure her Ishima is going to be heartbroken. I guess that's what foremost for her. Her mother's happiness tied to this baby...I find THIS more relatable than ALL the times she has demanded for a New Baby, coz...JUST.😕 And I hope for Chrissakes that she will not start with her "baby chant" once Ishita comes home...God..drill some sense in her head😕😲


P.S. The guy who played the driver has done a marvellous job👏traumatised, angry, psychotic, schezophrenic, murderous...he's played his part well...just wish Ashok stays behind the bars for atleast 6 months now..its TIRING to see him out on flimsy bails...😡


PRECAP - I think DT is just surpassing herself with each track...the consummation track was SPLENDID...the start of the pregnancy track had her reactions at her zenith best...and tomorrow when she gets to know of the miscarriage...we will be treated to another heart-rending performance by her..

So much depth in her acting. 👏So much anguish, hurt, rejection, disappointment, a sense of failure, and a deep intense pain seared through her when the nurse broke the news to her...

If I was crying today, I have no idea what I'll be doing tomorrow😭


Yes...needless to mention, Raman is shattered as well, coz it was not just his wife's dream..it was first HIS dream...he was the one who gave her hope, made her believe it was possible...in some faint corner of his heart he prolly feels guilty for raising her hopes up, for not taking enough care, for so many things that he wishes he could undo...

And yet, I know, that this is a journey of togetherness for the both of them...to deal with the pain and devastation together...to heal the wounds bit by bit...to dream again of possibilities...to hope for a future even when everything's pitch dark right now.

I personally would want Raman and Ishita to get away from this humdrum and those thousand and one questions and the pity and the sympathy and the deafening cries and the general air of misery hovering around them. I would love if he could WHISK her away and make her believe in her worth (which now seems crushed) AGAIN. I dont care he does it by giving her hopes she could be a mother again or tells her it doesn't matter to HIM whether she gives him a baby or not...I know we'll be rooting for them EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.🤗

Hi Akanksha,
Nice review

Today episode should have been a brilliant episode considering Raman portraying of emotion but for me it left me disappointed with the tidbits of surrogacy crap.

KP was excellent in his acting👏 today.

The bus scene they way she touched her stomach I was hoping that there would be some divine miracle even if it was illogical I was in a mindset to accept just to see IshRa baby but for once I have to give credit to the CV for portraying something real because that is what happens in real life when you hit your tummy when you are carrying.

The expression of DT was bang on and the way she cried in pain it was moving me.

It was nice to see whole family rushing towards her and in the hospital it was a nice touch Mr.Iyer was consoling Raman

The minute change in Raman expression when Manoj said that Ishita is safe being happy to being concerned because of Manoj stand and when he told the baby is no more the first question was whether she knows with a break in voice excellent.

Raman standing brave in front of the family and crying alone for his child. Then comes Mr.Bhalla forgetting his grief coming to console his son. The way Raman broke down more than the child he was thinking what is going to happen to Ishita and finally breaking down in his shoulder and getting strength from his father walking towards his wife to console her was beautifully done but to tell the truth I liked OLV better because it had much more emotions and they have edited some scene from OLV I think due to time constraint or they took from a different angle but that had much more impact on me even though some portion I could not hear properly by KP acting skills there is no words to describe it.

I kind of felt irritated with Ruhi constantly talking about the baby I was feeling give it a rest kid you should be more worried whether Ishita is safe. Adhi reaction was good.

I liked how Raman firmly said there is not going to be baby and then hugged her to give comfort and the talk with the kids were good.

I don't know why Raman was talking to Shagun very nicely or for that matter why he talked with her at all I could not understand that logic but your Ramu Kaka comment on her wardrobe bought a laugh to my face.

Manoj reaction I liked it because it shows he values his patients and cares for her but I didn't like the part where he said Shagun is so good why are people avoiding her.

To give credit to Shagun at least she has realized all her mistakes but I didn't like the fact she was saying that she in indebted to Ishita and how she is going to pay back this kind of indicated the surrogacy crap which I don't want to see.

Raman talking with the baby was kind of filmy but a nice touch but the only thing I didn't like was him promising the baby that he would bring the baby to the world at any cost this which also indicated the surrogacy crap track which I am hoping the cv are going to abandon.

Precap was yet again powerful but I hope at least tomorrow they would let us enjoy without all the hanging over of surrogacy crap.

Overall today episode should have left me with so much emotions because of the excellent acting skills instead it left me pissed off because of the tidbits of surrogacy so I was not able to connect with the emotions they were showing today.

HOW DO THE CVs manage to MAKE US LAUGH THIS HARD EVEN IN SUCH A SOMBRE, PAINFUL TRACK???😆😆

Geniuses they are, I tell you!

Amazing write up.
The episode was emotional, precap...
Bhallajis performance was very good, I liked it, he teared up and consoled his son.
Appa tho ...I'm iffy about his expressions, the connection is not there, he is there, but not there.
The rest of them were spot on
Tomorrows episode will be intense.
Don't know if they will go ahead with surrogacy, as they already took a risk for showing miscarriage.

Yes...the epi was v emotional...

to be honest, I was MORE impressed with Bhalla ji's expressions than Appa..but I am gonna give it to Appa that it was just the stricken feeling giving way to these stiff, awkward expressions...I guess S.Indian men aren't very verbose and expressive...stoic, more like😛

I LOVED Bhalla ji-Raman scene...so much depth, genuineness... I LOVED that Raman trusted his father enuff to BREAK DOWN in front of him...no pretenses of being strong or anything

I have a fear it could be the surrogacy track next, since the CVs took GREAT CARE in mentioning that Shagun now wants to "repay" Ishita's "debt"

I can only IMAGINE how she'd go about doing that

Today episode should have been a brilliant episode considering Raman portraying of emotion but for me it left me disappointed with the tidbits of surrogacy crap. I understand...but to be honest, I kinda soaked in the episode as it is...I know the CVs wont rest till they shove the surrogacy track down our throats😡 but till they actually do that, I am gonna not ruin the moments that come before it😕

KP was excellent in his acting👏 today. Brilliant, FABULOUS. Just too good👏👏👏

The bus scene they way she touched her stomach I was hoping that there would be some divine miracle even if it was illogical I was in a mindset to accept just to see IshRa baby but for once I have to give credit to the CV for portraying something real because that is what happens in real life when you hit your tummy when you are carrying. My god! U r a very optimistic person...going by the rumours I feared Ishu wud die or something...thank god it didnt happen...😕 but when she landed on the rock I knew it was a miscarriage...and I dunno...the pregnancy itself was so convoluted..the CVs tried to make it look like it was a miracle and all but I wasn't convinced in the least...atleast THIS MISCARRIAGE seems logical and real...probable...Im not saying its good it happened, but then it would have been TOO DRAMATIC to show a pregnant woman lands on a rock and is still hale and hearty...

The expression of DT was bang on and the way she cried in pain it was moving me. Ditto! So much agony😭

It was nice to see whole family rushing towards her and in the hospital it was a nice touch Mr.Iyer was consoling Raman Ditto!

The minute change in Raman expression when Manoj said that Ishita is safe being happy to being concerned because of Manoj stand and when he told the baby is no more the first question was whether she knows with a break in voice excellent. I said the same in my review as well...He really, dearly loves HER...for who she IS...and the things she isn't or cant be, dont matter to him...so much love👏👏

Raman standing brave in front of the family and crying alone for his child. Then comes Mr.Bhalla forgetting his grief coming to console his son. The way Raman broke down more than the child he was thinking what is going to happen to Ishita and finally breaking down in his shoulder and getting strength from his father walking towards his wife to console her was beautifully done but to tell the truth I liked OLV better because it had much more emotions and they have edited some scene from OLV I think due to time constraint or they took from a different angle but that had much more impact on me even though some portion I could not hear properly by KP acting skills there is no words to describe it. I wouldn't know actually..am horrible at scouting out OLVs...I found it decent enuff...but I guess they always edit portions of the OLV...was the OLV scene lengthier than the one aired today?

I kind of felt irritated with Ruhi constantly talking about the baby I was feeling give it a rest kid you should be more worried whether Ishita is safe. Adhi reaction was good. Adi was fine...but Ruhi was v v annoying😡 why has she started to behave like a brat?? Liek I said, I was only moved when she cried thinking of Ishima's reaction upon knowing of the miscarriage...just THAT bit.

I liked how Raman firmly said there is not going to be baby and then hugged her to give comfort and the talk with the kids were good. Ditto!

I don't know why Raman was talking to Shagun very nicely or for that matter why he talked with her at all I could not understand that logic but your Ramu Kaka comment on her wardrobe bought a laugh to my face. Heheheh...Am glad you laughed...she DID look like Ramu kaka😆😆😆 I think since the day Manoj has told Raman about Shagun's "real job" and her "real character" since the day she turned a saint, Raman has found it easier to talk to her in a nice, polite way...He doesn't hate her anymore...itna toh pata chal raha hai😕

Manoj reaction I liked it because it shows he values his patients and cares for her but I didn't like the part where he said Shagun is so good why are people avoiding her. I didnt like the second part...OR THE FOCUS on how bechari and misunderstood Shagun was...I liked that he takes his patients' failures personally and feels responsible for it...but then I was angry too...ki WHY did he let Ishu go to that damn trip in the first placE?? Khair, it had to happen...since CVs cant do without drama

To give credit to Shagun at least she has realized all her mistakes but I didn't like the fact she was saying that she in indebted to Ishita and how she is going to pay back this kind of indicated the surrogacy crap which I don't want to see. Exactly. That TOTALLY hints at surrogacy track...and really makes me cagey😡

Raman talking with the baby was kind of filmy but a nice touch but the only thing I didn't like was him promising the baby that he would bring the baby to the world at any cost this which also indicated the surrogacy crap track which I am hoping the cv are going to abandon. I dont think he would bring the baby into this world "at any cost"...i.e. resorting to surrogacy...I mean, he already has TWO KIDS with his ex-wife...aur bacche kyu chahiye Shagun ke womb se??? Wont the whole point be defeatd then???

Precap was yet again powerful but I hope at least tomorrow they would let us enjoy without all the hanging over of surrogacy crap. I hope so too.😲

Overall today episode should have left me with so much emotions because of the excellent acting skills instead it left me pissed off because of the tidbits of surrogacy so I was not able to connect with the emotions they were showing today. I actually loved the epi today...was high on sentimentality and intensity..Surrogacy is still hanging over us...but am willing to hope that the CVs WONT go for it.

Raman Bhalla, the man who stumbled today, without even touching a drink.

Today was definitely one of THE most poignant episodes in YHM...it obviously centered around Raman and Ishita's big loss..their baby... Needless to say, this is the one we were all waiting for, with baited breath...there were so many idiotic rumours floating around that seriously scared the hell out of..I dunno about others but it did play on my mind quite a bit😕

I had seen the OLVs already, but nothing prepared me to hear her cry the moment she hit the rock. I felt so scared 😕


#2
Ishita lost her dream...her baby...even before she was taken to the hospital, it was clear she had suffered a miscarriage. But I was OVERWHELMED to see her entire family running towards her...the minute she landed...Raman was the first to rush to her. Ruhi broke free from Abhishek's protective wrap and made a dash as well. Toshi and the other Bhallas who were behind the police barricade broke the same and rushed immediately to check on Ishita. It made me tear up.

No matter what the tragedy, as long as you have family beside you, then nothing devastating can touch you for long. I found Ishita to be extremely lucky in those precious moments...As a woman she may have lost her ONE chance at motherhood (for now)..but she had more than enough to compensate for that loss. A husband and two kids who found their entire world in her...a family that was so lost and shattered without her😭 Raman-Ruhi-Adi were the first ones to each her, because their world begins and ends with her. When she was still in the bus and Raman was shouting at her to jump, those few moments, goosebumps. And the kids, they just broke free, tumbling, they ran to her. Their love was pouring out and all I could see was the immense concern for the woman who put them all back together 😳 But I believe the soul-shattering hug during that fire-earthquake sequence was WAY more moving than today 😭 This one made me emotional, but that one just tore my heart 😭 It was so great to see Toshiji shouting at the doctor to save her. Not once did she mention the baby when they wheeled her in.

P.S. I could be wrong but I felt Simmi had a slight smile on her face...I saw the OLV (for once, since I never find them😆) and saw how much the actors were laughing through it...Everybody got into their parts..except for Simmi who still seemed to nurse that hangover...prolly the director thought no one would care to look at her since Romi was in the lead😆 I thought I was the only one who noticed that 😆


#3
The way Amma and Toshi broke down when Manoj broke the depressing news to the Bhallas...even Appa looked shaken for a minute..unke dimag mein bas yahi chal raha tha, ki Ishu ko pata chala toh woh KAISE handle karegi? Poor Iyers...ONCE in her life Ishu was so close to getting what she had always wanted..and it seemed to have got snatched away in this brutal manner.😭 I know! Appa has never voiced much of his opinions, except whenever she has felt she would get hurt. Whether it was Ruhi's initial custody case or the one post Shagun-marriage-drama, or today. He doesn't speak much, but he loves his Ishu too much to see her break down 😭 How much would it have hurt him to see his daughter finally get her share of happiness, even the unprecedented one, and then get it snatched away in an instant 😭 His ONLY concern was Ishu and it was very touching 😳

Its especially so traumatic for Amma, who has been a silent spectator as well as a staunch defender of her daughter, against the cruel prejudiced blows of the society for so so long. I feel for her.😭 She was at a loss of words 😭 Her daughter had suffered so much, and it never seems to end, only gets bigger with time 😭


#4
The way Raman asked Manoj if she knew about it...Manoj said Ishita was presently unconscious so no, she didn't. It was so touching. Despite facing such a loss so suddenly, his first concern was his wife's mental health...her well-being...I guess THIS is why Raman Kumar is like NO other Indian Telly male lead. Yes, he was broken inside. But it was more about his wife, than him. Hats off👏 This is a man so madly, deeply, irrevocably in love with his wife, that everything he does, or does not do, screams his love for her. His gestures, his concern, his words, his life and breath is Ishita, and it is so evident in the minutest of things. THIS is why I feel he's like Rhett. Hard, arrogant, yet so vulnerable at heart when it comes to that single person who matters to him the most in this world, over and above his parents and maybe even his children. He's THE most well-written male character in Indian television, and KP does more than justice to it 👏 👏


#5
Bhalla ji did look disturbed and upset when Manoj shared the news with them..but what made be bawl my eyes out - was the scene where Raman went to a corner, and stood there crying his heart out...trying to let the news sink in...wondering what would happen... what would he tell Ishita...the way he said, "Mera baccha.." God! There was so much LONGING in the way he said it...KP was TOP NOTCH today...just BRILLIANT! 👏👏It sent goosebumps down my spine😲

And then Bhalla ji stepped in..and hugged him...consoled him, saying - God's will was supreme ...and it had to happen...but atleast Ishita was saved in the nick of time and is fine. God willing, she would again become a mother...Bhalla ji looked genuinely shaken and was tearing up but trying hard not to let it all go, lest his son feel more shattered...it was a man-to-man talk...something I'm glad Bhalla ji was allowed to do..since Toshi herself was devastated beyond herself...

So yes, am glad Bhalla ji was chosen to be the comforting shoulder to his son..and the voice of reason in these tough times. Not only did he assure Raman he didnt have anything to feel guilty about...he reminded his son that now HE had to be strong to take care of Ishita and the kids.

The HUG that the father-son shared was so RAW. It made me cry.😭

This scene, Aka 😭 😭 He could not stand straight 😭 He did not know what hurt him more, his innocent unborn not seeing the light of the day, or his wife's biggest wish getting stolen 😭 In the most vulnerable of all moments in his life, he was a son who needed his father to hold him. Only his father could have understood his plight, the plight of another father who just lost his child, his miracle baby. And understand he did. His simple words brought him back. I made me cry to see him try to gather himself, because he had to take care of Ishita, Adi and Ruhi 😭

That moment when he silently went inside the ward...and checked on Ishita...holding her hand...trying to make sure she was fine. Even though Ishu was sleeping, it seemed like he conversed with her through his eyes...it was so soulful...so silent...

I will admit - I didn't like the bit where they made the foetus speak in a creepy voiceover...talking to Raman, saying "I am sorry. Main duniya mein nahin aa saki" Sounded very Hindi filmy types.

I was so sad at seeing him see her like that 😭 But that ghost child sound freaked me out in an instant 😕 I mean, what the hell was that!

But to compensate for that creative liberty the CVs took as well as the cheesiness inherent in the idea itself, I liked how Raman placed his hand on his wife's tummy...and spoke to it...saying no matter what, he wont break down, he will take care of Ishita, he will bring "him" into this world so that he could complete Raman's family...

After the ghost child talking to him, I lost the connect for that scene. I was touched by his words, but as much as I was hoping to be, because that sound kept echoing in my head, and it DID come back again in the end 😕 Uss se better toh flashback dikha dete of their happiness and promises, would've had a better impact. But Raman's crying earlier was still stuck in my head, and so I just moved ahead.

On a sidenote, the foetus seemed to be that of a girl...but Raman addressed it as if it were a "boy"...Khair, we will let these minor things pass.😕



There were a few other moments which weren't poignant as such. But they were sort of interesting in a way😆

I have no idea WHY Shagun would enter the hospital looking like Ramu Kaka, the security guard patrolling in the open in the middle of a wintry night, with a shawl for protection🤣Sorry, I HAD to mention this. She was looking like she was some hawaldar...what nonsense is this! Better to have donned the burqa than this abominable 'fashion item'😆 I adore her sentiment of wanting to check on Ishita, but I simply CANNOT get past her dress sense employed in the hospital today😃

OMG Aka! 😆 😆 Ramu Kaka! 😆

Raman gave in to a weak moment of vulnerability and told Shagun, "Ek aakhri ummeed thi...main phir bhi kuch nai kar saka"..She told him not to blame himself...he left the scene and wandered off alone...and she thought to herself, "Main Ishita ka yeh karz kaise chukaungi...usne apne bacche ki parwah na karte huey mere bacchon ki jaan bachai" even as a lone tear dropped from her eye.

She didn't look fake or insincere or anything, but that "karz" wala dialogue was filmy...and so shall the next episodes be, I feel; since the CVs seem HELL-BENT on surrogacy track, and we will have to endure it - IF THE CVs GO AHEAD WITH IT just to make Shagun look holier-than-thou

I am just guessing, but I shall be more than happy if that is not the case.😛

BLATANTLY IGNORED the solo Shagun part because it hints at something I'm totally disgusted with. What I did like about her li'l encounter with Raman was, how dejected he looked and felt. He even ignored to acknowledge her with ANY emotion, other than that of despair for himself & Ishita. So mechanical, so natural. Wanted to vent out in few words, oblivious to who was he saying all this to, so in the moment of grief.

Even Manoj looked like he had failed miserably...like it was a personal mission ground to dust...I was like, "YES DUDE! YOU DID! First you keep telling your patient hers is a special case and she's got to be extra careful and all of that, and then you casually let her go on long journeys to far-off places throwing caution to the wind." So yes, teri medical ki degree ka achaar banana chahiye tujhe😡


I was pissed when Shagun started with the, "Atleast you can share their pain and console them. I cant even do that since they all hate me." I hated the next few minutes that were spent on WHY Shagun's acchai wasn't visible to everyone, since she was such a "good" person and all. Thankfully, Shagun clarified that she has done too many misdeeds in the past to ever qualify for their trust..and if he ever got to know of the same, he would hate her too.

On all other occasions it seems fine by me when she pours her heart out. I was especially pissed TODAY since Ishita and her devastation was the CRUX of the episode, the thing that was on everyone's minds and the thing that ideally SHOULD be the focus now..why make a detour and discuss Shagun's plight??😡 CVs have HORRIBLE timing!

Fast-forwarded. The benefit of watching it online 😆

Loved how ACP played his part.👏 Beat Chand up...asked him all the necessary questions...clarified that Aditya Bhalla didnt mean a THING to Ashok Khanna..he is Raman Bhalla's son. I think he did the right thing by filing Ashok's complaint against Chand...he doesn't really have any hard evidence to go by to arrest Khanna or start investigations against him...so its better to first interrogate Chand, find leads in the case and conjure a solid case against him.

ACP was amazing 👏 KP ke baad koi hai jisse dhang se gussa dikhana aata hai toh voh ACP hai 😃 👏 He played his part to the T. Raubeela police wala 😃 👏 This guy has such a good emotional range - acting wise 😃

Miss Mihir-Raman bonding during such scenes. I wonder what Mihir would've said😕 Missed Mihika too...kahan thi woh??

I've been sorely missing Mihir for ages now 😕 Romi ki shaadi aur bachelor's uske bina ho gayi, tab se 😕

The kids were deeply concerned...Adi and Ruhi looked so flustered and clueless and scared...but I don't know why..I was feeling irritated with the way Ruhi was again going on and on about the baby..it was grating on my nerves😡 Baby ke pictures dekhne hain, baby ka heartbeat sunna hai yada yada

I thought I was the only one there. It was fine till the time she was asking Ishima kaisi hain, baby kaisa hai. But baby ki picture and heartbeat was just too much to bear 😕 Adi bada hoke bhi ye sab bakwaas baatein nahi karta 😡

To RD's credit, I loved ONE line she said "Jab Ishima ko pata chalega ki baby nai aa sakta toh woh kitni hurt hogi kitni sad hongi" That melted my heart...😭 Poor girl prolly doesn't know wht a miscarriage means ...and what it symbolises...but she knows for sure her Ishima is going to be heartbroken. I guess that's what foremost for her. Her mother's happiness tied to this baby...I find THIS more relatable than ALL the times she has demanded for a New Baby, coz...JUST.😕

Same here, Aka! For her age, Ruhanika, is such a good actor that when they give her these lines full of love and concern for her immediate family - Raman, Ishita and Adi, she spells out excellence. It is only these stupid mature dialogues that it makes me cringe, listening to them coming out of her innocent mouth 😡


PRECAP - I think DT is just surpassing herself with each track...the consummation track was SPLENDID...the start of the pregnancy track had her reactions at her zenith best...and tomorrow when she gets to know of the miscarriage...we will be treated to another heart-rending performance by her..

So much depth in her acting. 👏So much anguish, hurt, rejection, disappointment, a sense of failure, and a deep intense pain seared through her when the nurse broke the news to her...

If I was crying today, I have no idea what I'll be doing tomorrow😭

DT was FABBB in the precap 👏 👏 I can list out all the adjectives that I have used in the past for her, but I'll save them for tomorrow 😆


Yes...needless to mention, Raman is shattered as well, coz it was not just his wife's dream..it was first HIS dream...he was the one who gave her hope, made her believe it was possible...in some faint corner of his heart he prolly feels guilty for raising her hopes up, for not taking enough care, for so many things that he wishes he could undo...

And yet, I know, that this is a journey of togetherness for the both of them...to deal with the pain and devastation together...to heal the wounds bit by bit...to dream again of possibilities...to hope for a future even when everything's pitch dark right now.

I personally would want Raman and Ishita to get away from this humdrum and those thousand and one questions and the pity and the sympathy and the deafening cries and the general air of misery hovering around them. I would love if he could WHISK her away and make her believe in her worth (which now seems crushed) AGAIN. I dont care he does it by giving her hopes she could be a mother again or tells he doesn't matter to HIM whether she gives him a baby or not...I know we'll be rooting for them EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.🤗




I am SO waiting for an emotional closure to this ONE track, for it should ONLY be about Raman and Ishita. It was THEIR dream, they should bear the brunt of its crash together, and alone. It would be such a beautiful thing to watch them either emerge stronger and more cohesive than ever, or broken and falling apart and trying to put everything back. Because such incidents bring out the worst vulnerabilities, it is also possible that each of them blames himself / herself and grows apart.

But I am keeping no expectations from the story these days, taking each day as it comes, helps prevent disappointments.

Once again, great review Akanksha 👏 👏

One of KP's BEST performances, so much so that I know I'll have tears in my eyes whenever I watch this episode, for a long time to come!

Yes...the epi was v emotional...

to be honest, I was MORE impressed with Bhalla ji's expressions than Appa..but I am gonna give it to Appa that it was just the stricken feeling giving way to these stiff, awkward expressions...I guess S.Indian men aren't very verbose and expressive...stoic, more like😛

I LOVED Bhalla ji-Raman scene...so much depth, genuineness... I LOVED that Raman trusted his father enuff to BREAK DOWN in front of him...no pretenses of being strong or anything

I have a fear it could be the surrogacy track next, since the CVs took GREAT CARE in mentioning that Shagun now wants to "repay" Ishita's "debt"

I can only IMAGINE how she'd go about doing that


Exactly, I was able to connect with bhallaji, realistic, pure, not appa, if you look at old yhm episodes, the bonding between a father and daughter was there, I'm not seeing it now, I cannot connect with him at all. Even amma who is always too dramatic softened. Yes, he was a solid rock for his son today. Raman shagun don't know, it's like we are getting hints, yes, Raman was drained mentally and emotionally, he had no energy to argue with her, not now. But he did share his vulnerability with her, and that's worrying me, where is this headed. As you said puttar and Biwi needs to go away for a few days, without the family, just the two of them, they need that time alone. About s.indian men, I don't know, I'm a South Indian, i think they are emotional too to a certain extent. Idk

Though it looks like surrogacy track is coming up, do u think they will actually go for it?
