First bold - I think you don’t remember the beginning completely. I just watched the first 53 episodes. Ishita never finds out about Shagun wanting Ruhi just for Ashok or that Ashok is nasty or abusive stepfather to Ruhi. She doesn’t find about all that before agreeing to marry Raman. She only knew about Shagun wanting to send Ruhi to boarding school and that too temporarily until things gets sorted out. Even after that she was fine with leaving Ruhi to Shagun. So, she’s is selfish and cruel to want to separate Ruhi from her mother by marrying Raman which would mean he would get full custody (not that I am against Raman getting full custody). If she had found about Shagun’s complete reality or Ashok’s reality she would’ve been completely justified in not caring about Shagun. But now she isn’t. That’s why I won’t feel bad for her anymore when Raman turns toxic which I heard he does later.
Last bold- She didn’t do any favor on Raman. She’s selfish and wants a child for herself so agreed to marry him. Yes, it’s good that she genuinely loves Ruhi but that doesn’t justify her trying to separate her first from her father and then mother. Of course, Shagun is bad but she doesn’t know that yet. She has seen far worse behavior from Raman than from Shagun yet still agreed to marry Raman and betray Shagun because she wants the child for herself.
Anyways, I initially asked here because I wanted to see what those who watched yhm thought and because I wanted to vent somewhere after seeing her behavior
I like Raman, Shagun and Ashok as they are presented as how they are. No whitewashing or anything. They aren’t shown different than how they are unlike Ishita who’s shown as this angelic person when she’s selfish.
I understand that you’re trying to compare the situation here with what is happening in YHM aka Hrithik Munni with Ishita Raman but I don’t think the two can be equated. For one, Raman is not someone Ishita has been holding a candle for, for nearly a decade. Ishita didn’t get engaged to someone else but then broke that engagement at the first opportunity just because her behaviour was being questioned and she was asked to draw some boundaries. Lastly, Ishita never dangled Ruhi as a motherless child to get Raman to marry her by simply making a paper plane to prove her maternal instincts.
Raman Ishita never saw eye to eye but in their own ways they truly loved her and wanted what was best for her.
As for saying that Ishita made no sacrifice, I would respectfully disagree. Raman until that point had behaved abominably towards her and her family. For all she knew he could have been an abusive husband towards her in private or demanded that as a wife she must do her duty by him and sleep with him; he could have been a nasty womaniser who has taken to sleeping around after his wife left him and been carrying STDs. She takes a huge risk in agreeing to marry a man who at any point of time in the privacy of their bedroom could have easily overpowered her in a drunken rage and had his way with her post an argument.
She overlooks everything that could be considered as red flags and alarms regarding her personal safety which extends to her life with a man as prone to anger issues as Raman for the sake of the child she falls in love with. So she certainly can’t be compared with Munni the opportunist who has no sense of self respect.
