I don't support what Parmeet has done to Ishita and the Bhallas not trusting her. Any woman who comes with a complaint of abuse, irrespective of whether it's true or not or a misunderstanding, should be given safety and protection.
If we look from Bhallas side, their experiences with Shagun have coloured their views about daughter in law. Remember she had been in the family for more or less five years, before showing her true colours. In between we don't know how many tantrums and incidents she would have thrown to get attention on herself. So naturally they will compare Shagun and Ishita in the same light. So they will always mistrust her. It's not because she is a madrasi, but because of Shagun. Even Raman is slowly coming out of the scar Shagun has left on him, meaning he is taking baby steps in case of 'trust'.
And Parmeet has been their son in law for years and Simmi has never complained about him or his character. So they will genuinely believe the incident was a misunderstanding which Ishita is blowing up. So as not to cause problems in relationships they are trying to underplay it.
I believe even Raman will have a hard time to take an action when he will get to know about the incident not because he doesn't trust Ishita but because many times he has been played by Shagun. Remember how she flirted openly with Ashok infront of Raman.
But this will all affect Ishita because she can lose her sense of security with Bhalllas, as they were not ready to trust her on such a huge incident where she placed trust on them and revealed it to them than calling her own family and make a huge hungama.
We will wait and see how CVs are going to handle it.
Thank you all for reading patiently.
PS (Long):Additional Thought. If you notice the reactions are to an extent situational. Whatever issue Ishita raised, Parmeet was able to give a clear answer.
There was more or less a similar situation before. When Mihir and Mihika's mms clipping was circulated, everyone believed the situational proof and accused Mihir even though he said he was innocent. Even Mihika who had been in love with him was not ready to believe him. Remember how the entire Iyer family treated Mihir. They were not ready to hear him out even.
Whether its man or woman, they should be heard before being condoned. And sometimes its hard to see beyond what is seen or heard, the truth can be hidden and it takes work to bring it in front. Also, even Ishita had supported Parmeet during his earlier case without further investigating the truth. Even Ishita unknowingly was on the wrong side in that case. I believe even Raman will require some time before seeing the truth than what is infront of him. So give them time.
But this also will affect Ishita's trust on Raman and the Bhalla family. As like Ishita said a woman always have a sense to know when a man touches her in a different light. Bala afterall have hugged her many a times and she knows that his each touch is for his little sister that he sees in Ishita. And when she seeks protection from her own family and husband and they are not only giving it but refuses to believe her is going to put a big trust issue with her.
