YHM’s whole premise is that Shagun leaves her newborn daughter when she goes to live with Ashok with whom she’s having an affair.
Ashok is willing to take in her son but only because he’s at least not a newborn and even he’s sent to a boarding school almost immediately. Ashok was unwilling to accept a newborn and tells Shagun that it would be very difficult for them to enjoy themselves and go on trips across the world with a newborn who constantly needs her attention. Shagun had cheated on her husband for money, Raman wasn’t abusive or violent or unloving; rather he absolutely worshipped her but he was a middle class man with a huge family and a limited income that was not enough for Shagun. In fact, in flashbacks we see Raman looking very different - nerdy, bespectacled, with a potbelly; he looks so bad that you wonder why a beautiful girl like Shagun would marry him in the first place, but then it’s revealed that she’s from an extremely poor family , their widowed mom has worked hard to raise her and her younger brother, Mihir. Raman looked like an absolute mismatch in comparison but he had a more stable income, his own home and he took care of Shagun’s family financially too post their marriage and paid for Mihir’s higher education; still she didn’t waste a minute when she found a richer alternative. Worse part was her mom was supportive as this allowed Shagun to give her more money as allowance; Mihir was the only one who couldn’t fathom this betrayal and cuts ties with his mom and sister for their selfishness.
Ishita is a woman diagnosed with infertility and she’s unable to have her own children. She is dumped by her boyfriend of a decade and some when he finds out the same after she collapses on their engagement day with a stomach pain so severe she nearly faints and has to be hospitalised where her infertility is revealed when tests are conducted to understand the reason for her severe stomachache. Her parents try to get her married and she agrees to an arranged marriage too but she refuses to lie or hide about her medical condition and thus no man wants to marry her. In fact Shakti Anand has a cameo as one of Ishita’s prospective grooms who meets her via some community matrimonial event to introduce men and women to each other. He tells her he’s fallen in love with her at first sight because she’s so beautiful and they talk, he likes her a lot but she tells him about her medical history and he disappears like he never existed. Her parents try to call his family and they ghost them and cut their calls and block them.
Ishita doesn’t randomly decide to marry Raman to take care of a stranger’s child. She falls head over heels in love with Ruhi courtesy of their interactions as neighbours on an almost daily basis. She aches for a child and Ruhi, who has never known maternal love and affection is drawn to her warmth and love.
So YHM certainly can’t be compared with this Hrithik Munni Timsi situation. They had built up Ishita Ruhi independent of Ishita Raman prior to their marriage itself and it was not based on one or two meetings with a paper plane deciding Ishita’s eligibility as a mother for the little girl.
