You know, I feel like this. Solely my pov.
So this season, Ram as a character is actually very shallow, or you may say, rude, insensitive or unkind whatever. Day by day my dislike for him is just increasing, and whenever I compare the two rams from s2 and s3, unme actually zameen aasman ka farak hai. Whatever this ram says is just superficial at its best. He doesn't have any care or sensitivity towards anyone in the circle, except his mom. Not even his friends and relatives make it there, leave strangers.
He is you know sort of those people, who can say the most beautiful and poetic things, but can act on none. Jab baat pyaar ko describe karne ki aayi thi, tab you may remember usne kitna bada bhashan diya tha, pyaar ye pyaar wo bla bla, but then when it comes to respect and responsibility towards priya's mom dad, he is zero. Pyaar sirf uski jaan ke liye, aur apni kriti baby ke liye. Wo dono iss duniya me kuch paise ke liye nahi karte, baaki sab log paise ke liye sab karte hain, that's what he feels.
So as I read here, if makers tried to reverse ram and Priya in s2 with raya here, they have actually failed miserably in ram's character. Priya ka character in s2 was too deep, layered and nuanced. She was cynical, but to a point of logic, plus she was not insensitive rude or unkind to others. She was just not over sugary like ram. Otherwise she was very normal and knew the importance of responsibility and respect. But ram here is not even 1% of that. Completely opposite and unlikable. Before I go on to write some more dislike for him, let's change the topic.
Now regarding the breakup or heartbreak of priya. First of all, imo, even if as per ram priya ka breakup kitne saal ya kitne mahine pehle hua hai, it doesn't matter. He is no one to tell her to move on and deal with it, just because he was not able to keep yuvi away from the marriage, which too, was nkt for Priya but her parents, when at the end of the day, priya is doing this for his mom.
Moving on has to be priya's choice. He's no one to tell her when to move on and when not, even if she has been stuck on it for whatever number of years, coz emotions are complicated, and a person's emotions should be respected.
Definitely she should move on for her better, and he should motivate her for that, that is a different thing, but pressuring her or arguing, that too when he's at mistake, and saying that yuvi is his trusted and close to him, when priya has a closer relationship with ram as of now coz she is his wife, is really very insulting. That line when he said ki wo meri family yaani aloo ki family hai and is close to me, when you're talking to your own wife, triggered me a lot, irrespective of a fake or real marriage.
If we remember, in s2, ram was the one who believed in one sided love and used to love vedu even after marriage and was stuck on her for so many years. And this thing was celebrated by his so called fans like as if it's the best thing in the world, the same fans on birdland who must be saying today that ram's dialogue to priya to move on and deal with it was spot on and she should not be stuck. Everything is just fine when ram does it, even if wrong. If we want even we can point fingers at that, ki tab to ganga jamuna behti thi uski aankho se when he used to see shashi vedu together. But we respected his emotions and what he felt and it was fine if he loved vedu even after breakup. But when it comes to Priya this season, somehow she has to move on for whatever reason, which, again should be her choice. But no, move on, deal with it, bla bla...!
So basically my thinking here was ki it was very bad and shallow of ram to say that, and it felt really bad to me, so I wanted to say all this, and here I have written. Sorry for stretching this so long.
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
