I needed to have that one point ... The true breaking point for my fascination for Yhm as a whole and IshRa to be specific. Today I reached it.
There was a reason why I protested against surrogacy track ... There was a reason why I protested about giving over importance to one character... Surrogacy protest was because it was against the principles of human behavior .. And protest about Shagun was because she is that parasite that has continuously eaten away everything that was good in YHM ... and everyone including the main protagonists and the antagonists as well as most of the side characters have been mercilessly butchered to accommodate her screen space. I signed up for IshRa journey... I signed up for IshRaRu .. I signed up for MiMi and the Iyers and Bhallas as they were till Shagun's wedding track ( the downfall of YHM) started. I still hung on because somehow KP and DT made IshRa believable ... Relatable.
But with the surrogacy track Raman got butchered to someone else. This track had initially given me hope we'd get to see Ishita's vulnerabilities and Raman's redemption ... And then the brilliance of Divan made me come back for a week or so... But based on what I read today in the WU ...Ishita's butchered too..as much as Raman was in surrogacy track...or probably some more or less.
One question that I had raised over and over again about Surrogacy track... Was really that the only path for the creatives... The answer was a resounding NO... Today I stand at the same juncture ... Was this the only path? Because like surrogacy is a viable option for many couple.. It was not right how it was done in YHM .. And today a wife's 'path to save her husband ' ... Ah well I can raise a lot of logical questions if I cared anymore . .. But simply put .. Ishita's path is not humane by any standard.
But it is BT's story.. Their production.. Their and the channel's business decision about how they want to take YHM forward.
The 'Why this path' will always be a mystery to me.
My journey with YHM ends here. As I've always said, my affiliation was to the story .. Not the actors. With IshRa as individuals and as a couple ruined royally there is nothing to make me watch this drama.
It feels strange as IshRa/ DivAn has been part of my daily existence since August 2014 ( I started late ).
Good luck to the talented cast especially DivAn!
