Hi all,
I was asked about my opinion regarding the foreshadowing in yesterday's episode and even though I have posted this same thing in another thread, I wanted to post it the main forum as well, to get everyone's input.
I think the point that Ishaana made yesterday was that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
I felt that what Ishaana said was legitimate. The entire fiasco at the Maha-Aarti was hushed because of the power and influence that the Oberoi family wields, and not only was Tej directly involved in the cover-up, Shivaay supported it. Therefore, Ishaana rightfully pointed out that Shivaay isn't the honest, noble businessman with integrity, that Om would like to believe. But that is the corporate way and I don't hold it against Shivaay, but again Ishaana didn't say anything wrong. Her points about Rudra, were not invalid either. He does cheat on women. He does two-time girls, and even though, we as an audience find him adorable and love him - it is also true that how he habitually behaves is unacceptable.
Coming to her argument about Tej, and the foreshadowing - I believe these issues are inter-connected.
That is, in my opinion - Ishaana's prediction that one day Om will become his father, will come true.
I know it sounds outrageous, because Om loathes his father and would never intentionally cheat anyone. However, I feel that Om's hatred for his father stems from a feeling far more pervading than pure anger at his father's betrayal and dishonesty. Underlying his hatred for his father, is an intense fear of abandonment.
By choosing Svetlana over Jhanvi, Tej pushed his family away and to an extent abandoned them. Abandonment does not necessarily mean creating physical distance between people, it is often much more agonising when it is an emotional abandonment. I believe that this is the true root of Om's hatred.
Friedrich Nietzche had written: 'Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.'
I believe this will ring true for Om, as Ishaana predicts. Unintentionally, inadvertently, it will be Omkara who will become his father, by pushing away or abandoning his family.
This is where the foreshadowing comes into play; due to his rigid ideologies, Omkara will turn against Shivaay, possibly because Om is misled. Omkara is too trusting and therefore easy to influence. I believe that he will fall victim to someone's plotting and will be misled to believe that Shivaay has lied to him, kept a big secret or betrayed him in a way - when it will not be true. This has happened before on the Raksha Bandhan episode, when Shivaay is protecting Om, but Om misunderstands.
Due to a severe misunderstanding, Om will either leave or compel Shivaay to leave, thus fulfilling Ishaana's prediction, and paving the road for the CVs promised Vanvaas track.
And now that I've put in my two cents, please feel free to agree or disagree, but I will not be responding to any bashing.
Let's have a peaceful, healthy discussion đ
