YHM is definitely growing on me and while IshRa' hug and the ensuing scenes where Shagun misunderstands them is at the forefront of today' posts - I liked the progress made on the Mihir front too.
I was genuinely intrigued by Mihir' equation with Raman always. He has been shown as Raman' shadow, his sounding board, his friend and also his mentee. Someone whom Raman trusts implicitly, perhaps one of those limited people in his life, whom he considers important as well. But the strangeness of their equation begins with Mihir' implicit and absolute almost worship of Raman, I get respecting your mentor, considering the counsel of someone whom you look up to as an elder brother and also a guru of sorts. I dont get the quiet servitude like manner Mihir adopts when Raman comes into the equation, nor did it make sense to me until recently why time and again Raman says he is responsible for Mihir and all the major decisions of his life are entrusted to him.
But today' scene where Mihir was at loggerheads with Shagun sorta sparked this whole idea. What if Raman is not just mentor, friend and an elder-brother like figure to Mihir? What if Mihir was actually Shagun' younger brother who found in Raman someone he looked up to? He was pissed off at Shagun the moment she asked him to introduce her to Trisha and held his ground.
Shagun in my opinion wouldn't take an interest in Mihir - who he dates, marries or is with unless he happened to be someone she was connected too.
Mihir' words - Kyun rishta kya hai hamara? - they imply some relationship which they do share definitely.
You dont utter words like those and have that kind of an anger towards the ex-wife of your mentor even if she cheated on him, nor do you make barbed comments about loyalty/fidelity.
Also Mihir said - for Shagun money is more important than relationships. She left Raman after all because Ashok was richer and could provide for her every desired luxury.
I may be way off course here but somehow this makes me think that perhaps - this connects so many dots here.
Mihir' status as an orphan.
No family member ever shown from Shagun' side. Every time if she is spotted with someone other than the members of the immediate cast - its another friend, a fellow bitchy socialite - but never ever one member from her family.
When a marriage crumbles, of course it hurts people from both ends - and I find it hard to believe when Shagun chose to ruin her life - her family dint try to intervene, knock some sense into her, stop her.
Perhaps Shagun' breaking off all ties with Raman had more casualties than Raman, their kids and his family - she also ended up messing with the lives of her own kin in the process of which Mihir seems to be the last one left.
