What do you do!!?

What do you do? When the next day, following a nasty office showdown – your business partner snubs you? He who happens to be not just a business partner but a dear friend – how do you deal with it? And to make things worse, let's assume- you find out that he has had a soft corner for you since college; you aren't sure of where you stand...whether he's just a good friend you've learnt to take for granted..or someone you've possibly harbored feelings for at some point your life? But what now, when everything's come crashing down, at stake is not just your business venture that you've built together but also your friendship. Do you let him walk away? Or do you give 'us' a try?

And, what do you do? When, your nagging doubts become crystal clear and the realization dawns upon you that may be just may be, it really was never meant to be! And your feelings would never be reciprocated, but you still can't help it because you have this stupid intuition, that your friend is going to get hurt and this daunting realization that you won't be there to lend support this time! The drama of the nasty office showdown has raised questions and you can no longer ignore the enticing offer that beckons you to make a sensible professional decision. The only way to keep the friendship alive is to walk separate ways your mind says...but would that be a purely professional decision? Is it really?

What about Aashish..desperate at this point to bed Isha, would he try to pull something out of the bag, when Isha may be emotionally vulnerable, assuming Rohan leaves Rishta.com for greener pastures of India-marriages?

And Huzeifa, would he still leave everything up to Isha and Rohan or butt in this once? Does he have the right to? Does he run the risk of alienating either one of his friends, if he hasn't done so already??

Which brings me to my last question, do good friends really make good business partners or does business eat away your friendship? Is it a good idea to mix friendship and business..??

Any thoughts?

I just hope that Isha realizes that she'z taking Rohan for granted and takes a decision to stop him !!

I dunno.....I have a nagging feeling that they might just give a vague end leaving scope for a season 2,just incase...The way they left Mahi Way....Mahi didnt get married...but neither did the Shiv-Mahi track get any leverage....as in they left it where it started...Mahi with her life and career....Tho I luved the ending Mahi Way got !!!
But because people seem more sure that Rishta.com is certainly not cuming back for a Season 2........I hope they atleast give us the best in Season1 and give a happy ending !!

@togepe30 . I don't watch anything else on SONY, just curious since you brought it up, did all YRF shows on SONY have vague endings? Back to r.com, we can only speculate at this point- but it struck me the other day, that rishta.com may not only refer to the marriage bureau that Isha & Rohan run but something that reflects the relationship between friends, as they and their lives get more entangled professionally and how that affects their personal spheres & friendship. I don't know about happy endings, i suppose that may be subjective at some level - but I want to see certain issues resolved whatever the end may be..and not a completely vague ending. If that made any sense...Thanks for replying to this post :)

A, the way people will deal with situations like these would be very subjective. But let's try and look at this situation from R and I's perspective. If we look at it from Isha's point, she's always been quite clear about her decision on the merger and I think she always thought that Rohan would eventually give in to her. Rohan always has given in to her, and she was under the impression that even this time around they'll end up resolving the matter like they've been doing till now. And I don't see anything wrong with that, but like I mentioned to you, that her interactions with Rohan hasn't been covered as well as Rohan's with her. He seems to read Isha like a book, but the same can't be said about her. Now when I think about it, maybe that's what the makers were trying to achieve, Isha's always been a bit apprehensive with Rohan; not in terms of the friendly banter. But, you remember the scene when Rohan's talking about his family and Isha didn't know how she should comfort him, if at all. I am pretty sure there have been more such instances, just can't think of any right now. But, what I am trying to say is, may be its either she's had feelings for him earlier, that she's closed off or she's scared to take that one step further in their relationship, worried of the consequences if it all falls apart. She's always been the one who treads her steps very carefully, thinking, analysing and then experimenting. I wish for once, she would listen to her own advice and follow her heart..(that is a very unlike me comment..😕) I don't know, I wish I could understand her thoughts on Rohan more. I wish we would have gotten a second season, so the characters could be explored more...

One thing is for sure, she won't let him walk away from their friendship, the business part- I am not too sure of. Though I know they made it look as though Rohan and Isha are both aiming for different goals in business and in life, at the end of the last epi during that phone conversation with Vaibhav. But, there's a lot more to it, would Rohan walk away that easily from his baby; the business which they started together, which they worked so hard to get where it is. I wish we had got to see the initial days of how they started the venture, the ups and downs that they sailed through together. It would have shed more light towards Isha's reluctance to take up the offer, giving it more depth. Because currently it looks to me as a very emotional decision, even from Huz and Ruch. I am sounding like a broken record, but this show has so much potential..damn this stupid channel. All that aside though, I don't think Rohan would walk away, well I would hope not. And if he does walk away, then it definitely won't be just a professional decision; more so an emotional one.
Do I think she'd give them a chance, if she finds out that Rohan harbours feelings for her? I think she might do, but it would take a lot from her to eventually give in. May be, that is where Ruch might play a part. Or even that creep Ashish might also lend a helping hand in that realisation..Though I also think that YRF will likely leave it to the audience's discretion, but hinting towards them possibly getting together. I wouldn't even mind if they don't, it would have left with so much scope for the second season. *sigh*
From Rohan's side, we all know that the confrontation in the board room was a resultant of the buildup of weeks of frustration to get Isha to read the offer, then him noticing the slight changes in Isha's attitude towards Ashish, her not telling him the truth. Or it might also be that he's trying to run away from his feelings, he's scared of admitting it to himself more than her. I've noticed one thing, Rohan is very observant, he notices the slight changes in people that others might miss. And I think that's what makes Isha even more open to him; her expressions give her away. To that, add the fact that he's known her for a very long time, and possibly even feels something for her.
The Huzeifa point is a very good question, would he leave it up to the two, I don't think so. They're way too close to each other for him to not say anything. Do I think he should? No, coz that would end up mixing professional and personal lives together, which I think he's done in basing his decision on Mr Kohli's personal life. Or maybe his answer was actually not based on that and we are yet to see the main reason. I know Rohan currently is not very happy with Huzeifa, but he'll come around. It's one of those petty arguments you have with your friends. Rohan won't be upset with Huzeifa for that long, though I am not sure of Huzeifa's outburst when he finds out about Rohan's deal with India marriages. Humara Rohan..😆
Don't like Ashish, I think you're right that he might try and take advantage of Isha's vulnerability. Isha's always been more or less aloof with him, but if he tries something I hope Ruch and Isha beat the crap out of him..😆 Seriously, at this moment we can only assume things...he might not be such a bad guy as we are predicting.
So coming to your final question now, gosh you make me write so much..😆
I think good friends do make good business partners as long as you leave the friendship out when you enter the office, it should strictly be professional. You become business partners with people who you have a good rapport with, who would understand your reasoning, who you know that even if you disagree with, you'll eventually work around it. And in friends, you find those.
So I am done with my ramblings, hopefully you're still with me and not bored... so now need to get back to what I was doing before the match starts, which I don't have any hopes for. But let's see...
Loved your ponderings..you should write it out here more often.😛

Of all the YRF shows I only watch Rishta.com and I just saw a few episodes of Mahi Way....Its just that i chanced upon seeing the last 30 mins of the show...! They gave a good end...but they didnt pair mahi with shiv...they just left her alone with the hint that shiv maybe her future BF....But again Mahi Way seems to have more chances of coming back for a season 2
As for other YRF shows....I havent seen a single episode of the others....! So i have no clue about them !!😊

@Humz- Isha's had a big NO for the merger from the start and they've made it quite obvious as you rightly pointed out. But think about it Humz, isn't she taking R for granted there, if you say she was expecting him to give in eventually? Isn't that being a naive to an extent, I mean if you run a business then you've got to be one step ahead, and she's known R's stance on this issue..A scene where they discuss the pros and cons of this merger would have made more sense, wouldn't you say? I'm just saying, that perhaps Isha's way of handling this whole merger offer has been bad and a tad too emotional...had she done it differently, things may have turned out differently.

All these are hypothetical situations so I suppose, there is no point in 'what ifs' but I couldn't help thinking..I agree with your thoughts on Rohan reading Isha like a book. And about Isha being the one who treads her steps very carefully, thinking, analyzing and then experimenting. Which also leads me to believe that she may have harbored feelings for him in the past..Damn SONY, I'm sure H, we would have got more insight into Isha's ways and why she's the way she is, if there was a season 2. Just a random question, do you think Shruti and Kavi are on par acting wise?? May be, Kavi's portrayal of Rohan is so convincing, a few notches higher in my opinion.. that we tend to elaborate more..dunoo..just a random thought. Or maybe we're just biased towards 'humara' ❤️RohanLolz.. ggezz we are really bizzare.😆

I'm certain too, that she won't let this deal affect their friendship, but dunno she tends to think a lot and then take impulsive stands..but whatever the deal, just the thought of Rohan teaming up with India marriages will shake her out of her comfort zone. See, how I looked at that scene with Vaibhav was that - it's not that they have different goals in business(the previous episodes prove that in my view) but it's come down to a more personal level where I feel Rohan can no longer ignore the his inner ramblings..and Isha isn't quite tuned in to that frequency yet. The onus is now truly on Isha ..let's sit back and enjoy what they've cooked up..

From Rohan's side, we all know that the confrontation in the board room was a resultant of the buildup of weeks of frustration to get Isha to read the offer, then him noticing the slight changes in Isha's attitude towards Ashish, her not telling him the truth. Or it might also be that he's trying to run away from his feelings, he's scared of admitting it to himself more than her. I've noticed one thing, Rohan is very observant, he notices the slight changes in people that others might miss. And I think that's what makes Isha even more open to him; her expressions give her away. To that, add the fact that he's known her for a very long time, and possibly even feels something for her.

I loved reading what you have up there- this seems so real though this whole mess you know .. how you understand a little more but uncertain how to deal with it, she is not certain, they have this great friendship...now this awkardness..and people are left to speculate..and as in life, no one really knows how things will turn up. So far away from those, rosy frames and random violins playing soothing melody in the background- you know what I mean na..here I go again with my randomness, I've tried really hard to curb that here..but old habits die hard.😕

I think it's safe to say that Huzeifa has bamboozled humara Rohan..see we are always given incomplete information ..the case in point was Mr. Kohli, is he married? Is he a scumbag? We don't know, so at this point it seems like Huz's decision is based on his personal observations of Mr. Kohli .. I suppose Sooks would be thrilled, I'm using Infinity here...I don't know how far you've got there, but she talks about how it's always been black and white...hmm.. kind of makes sense looking at how Huz. made up his mind about Mr. Kohli.

I think Aashish will try to take advantage of this situation at some point, I can only hope we are all wrong about him..but there have been enough hints so far. Or may be YRF, are really misleading us.. making us believe Aashish is two timing Ruch and Isha..too much ifs and butss...let's just watch the show.

Your last point, I don't agree with you there ..I don't think it's that easy to leave the 'friendship' out of the office. It's easier said than done..and I've seen partnerships fail and friendships severed..sadly.

Are you kidding me Humzy!? I love your ramblings..🤗you know that right. Thank youji. And congrats on your victory, I meant to watch it, but errr..you know how I've messed up my sleep, so I missed it.

Rockstars and FOG should collaborate this once leaving all differences aside and file mass petitions, to save this show!? What say, shall we put those good for nothing fan clubs to work for a change? 😆
