Nice review Viji..

everyday the stupidity in the show is outweighing any good left in the show leaving us in utter disbelief that the creativity can be this ugly too..

I wasn't even going to comment today but my dear friend asked me why no review from me and I didn't want to rob the pleasure she is seeking I decided to put my take here...Though it's not so much of a review but my take on Ishita and Raman as in-laws.

Though it's not unusual to see young in-laws in real life... Believe it or not my MIL became a Nani when she was just 39. And I'm not kidding. That's what happens when one gets married very early and have kids in their teen years and then those kids marry in their early 20 having kids immediately by the time first anniversary hits... Marriage and kids are viewed as biggest milestones still...

But when that happens the parents also grow with their kids as well as grow as a couple and as parents. Because it's a natural progression of life. As a woman we wear many more hats than men successfully.. from a daughter to DIL as well as wife two hats in a different environment, then mother and eventually a MIL and grandmother. Lot to take in where as these relationships hold less weight when it comes to men.. a father and FIL or grandpa he can be as much involved as he wants or he can be as aloof as he wants.. no one measures him in a bad light unless he is irresponsible and abusive to his kids.

But the way things happened with Ishita is not in a natural progression and I must say they are rather forced. Just by marrying Raman she became a DIL, wife and a mother in overnight. Just by having a more motherly and nurturing qualities she was able to slide into that role of a mother with ease. But when she became a mother to a teenager she fumbled and fell and blamed to no end. Not even once she was excused for not having the experience of raising a child from 0 hour to growing up with them to teen years. But she learned.. she accepted her mistakes and learned...But the situations were not in Her favor either where she could've grown with Adi into adulthood and Ruhi into teenage and if luck would've been smiling at her then pihu would've been raised by her from day 1 if not hour 0 making her experience of being a mother a complete and a satisfying journey. But fate played cruelly in the form of an abusive husband snatching her rights and joys away from her.

And after 7 years she again started her journey with same kids Adi a grown adult, Ruhi a disturbed and an abused teen, Pihu an epitome of lies and deceit who doesn't know and refusing to acknowledge her own mother. But once again facing lots of abuses and accusations she tried to remain steadfast as a mother.

Now Adi at the age of 23/24 is ready to get married which is not normal for this day and age once again she is pushed into a role of MIL.

The discontentment we are experiencing as a viewer is due to the incompleteness of the story of Raman and Ishita. What started as their mohabbatein ended before it took it's first step. Died rather killed in its infancy. When we look back there is not much to cherish and as I said earlier in the post the stupidity and cruelty and abuse and injustice added to the story forever remains as a bitter memory for a long time.

Here is for you Maya...

True...I can't believe it ..is this creativity?

@ purple...that that was beautiful raji...we have to adorn many roles snd 200% involvement 'is expected..

@ red...this is true ..though they too have to fit into new roles...it's the amount of involvement that matters ...he has that liberty

Raji more than forced or pushed she had NO OPTION...it was ready made family...as you said she never experienced the phases or different stages ...she had to fit into all the 3 roles instantly ...and everything was in reverse...

@ red...another perfect line...and absolute truth ...summed up ishita very well

@ green...well said...bang on...

Viji,

Yes whatever Shagun said is coming true starting from Ishita as nanny to Shagun holds the highest place in Raman life it was proved recently by Raman abandoning Ishita for Shagun.

Shagun is always right we are slowing learning it now when we emotionally invested in this crap of a story due to KP/DT acting as IshRa.

That is the difficulty I have I invested in this story for IshRa but now realizing it was never a story about IshRa but always about Shagun and her ever changing colors and love.

Leap killed the emotion which was attached to Ishima and now it doesn't feel like it comes from the heart anymore.

HAPPY TAMIL NEW YEARS DAY

And so began the rituals and everybody blesses aaliya...except ruhi ...she was nowhere to be seen and then She made an entry ...man I'm fed of this girl/actress...highly irritating and annoying...anyways..fast forward..

Mani had to leave and shagun was a bit unhappy.

Shagun actually looked good today softened curls, earthy make up

Vs ishita...loud/ bright lipstick ..that springy coiled hair and that atrocious hair style ...And that bun it was ridiculous. On the whole Ishita looked ridiculous. Please tone down you damm makeup...You look like a village girl screaming attention..

Mihika is aaliya's bua now

Bala is aaliya's mama..

All the while this creep is watching everything about

And the talks surround around sangeeth, and the dance competition and mehendi...

Oh boy...enough already...I've had it

So aaliya leaves to talk to Adi and that creep...with that perverted look...silenced her but aaliya frees herself and screams amma...and everybody rush to her rescue

His expressions and and the role doesn't match at all

And that creep is aaliya's dad?!...he looked like a sex offender his actions were like that..freakin creepy...

And aaliya shares this with everyone and they are shocked

And the men rush to catch him

😆 it was so stupid...i was like wth is this..

Raman recognizes him..ishu comes to know about him working at the office

That guy says it's not what you think..and as usual they don't let him talk and

This guys escapes..what a great escape

Another lol moment that way they caught and let that creep go..his great escape...

All the men and couldn't apprehend that guy...Seriously 😲

Ishu spots a chain with mangalsutra ..tamilian Thaali..

So raman is not happy and feel its coz of ishu that he fled.. ishu was about to share the mangalsutra info with him..ruhi comes there and the trio spot adi

And so they hide it from adi ...Ishu tells raman to inform the police

Ishu and ruhi leave...Shagun pacifies aaliya

And ishu informs that adi is here and asks her to hide it from adi a he will be upset

So in the night ishu starts but raman shuts her down

Again interruption.. ruhi..

And this girl is behind sangeeth😡

Raman leaves

Ok guys I'm fed of this girl ruhi..😳

Some AT on adi a collage kind...she wants all old pics

Papa and ishima old pic

Ishu has met maalini...aaliya's mom...but not the dad

It seems mani has protected aaliya so hid all the pics from aaliya

And so amma has a treasure box of old pics

And they look thru old pics...But the old pics were so nice to see

The slim sexy raman, slim ishita, old ruhi and adi

😆manis pic...the bell bottom revolution...he was stylish it seems...a style icon those days...mani was compared to kamalhaasan 😆

Biggest lol moment ...mani looked like Kamalhaasan... wh..wa whaatt whaaattt?

Seriously are they blind ?!..The look sort of reminded me of a ramil movie...ninaithale inikkum...that long hair, oversized sunglass. Checked and bell bottoms..that huge thick belts. The high heel shoes...the scrawny mush...😆

Lol they thought mani was ishus bhai..🤣

And ishu spots aaliyas dads pic...maybe maalini was there...ishu takes the pic and moves away...She wakes raman up...and he's irritated ...and ishra leave

Ruhi and adi laugh at manis pic

Aaliya sees the pic and adi pulls her legs

Aaliya too joins... ishu and raman are at shagmani's

Ruhi shares with adi about Ishu's weird behavior with adi

Ishu interrogates mani ...where is aaliya's appa

Precap

Ishu is damm sure he's hiding something and questions mani.

Overall stupid ...I think...I need a break 😳

DT...looked tired

Hi Viji,

you definitely need a break with all that is happening.. adi's parents are saas sarur and old but aliyas adopted parents still hope for a baby. now that is confusing.

off late even DTs acting is very aritificial and not warming. there are no raman and ishitha now at all. i guess they are shooting separately.. they are not to be found in a frame at all

so i am off. i only read your reviews...thanks for the same anyways..

i am so irritated with cvs.. this is getting pathetic..
