Much has been said about these breathtaking episodes. I'm not here to bring out anything new that has not been quoted by others. This is just a small attempt to appreciate that YHM which slowly transcended from reel to real life today. In those 20 minutes, felt like i was actually watching one desperate husband, two abandoned kids who were frantically searching for their dear life, their mother, their soul amongst the rubble created by the disaster that struck them few hours ago.
YHM made me revisit one real life incident that happened few days ago. Nepal... What a heart wrenching it could be for a family to search their dear ones among a heap of stones. When Iyers and Bhallas were hoping for one miracle, i got reminded of all those who would have expected one to end up with a failure... Apart from this soap, no other soap can do this magic... They transported me from reel to real world for some minutes.
This topic can't end without giving credit to all those who managed to move me with their stellar performances tonight.
Lemme start with Ruhi... This year, this kid should not walk out of award functions without carrying awards... She makes me wonder if she understands the intensity of emotions that she is portraying on screen. Right from that innocent narration to her whole family till shooing off her biological mother, she killed it. Finally, when Ruhi called out for her Ishima, she told the world the pain that she felt was no where lesser than what her father felt when he was searching for his dear life in that rubble. Fabulous...
Special mention to Shagun is also needed. Yes, it was completely difficult to divert my eyes from Ruhi and Raman but today, Shagun convinced me completely. I appreciate Anita for carving out a niche in such a power packed episode where episode belonged to Ruhaanika and Karan Patel. After a long time, i saw Shagun as a grey character once more. Yes, she abandoned her kids once again when they needed her. Yes, her revenge made her lose out everything to Ishita but i saw a mother in her today. She loves her kids but she loves herself much more than that. Shagun made me realise that... Yes, She's going to come back and create more troubles but today, she made me feel bad for her. Her greed has reduced her to nothing today. Her son, her last key...she lost him today.
Last but not the least, the man himself... Raman Kumar Bhalla... I don't know if i could turn out to be successful in describing his performance tonight. I mean what was that? Last time, i was floored by the drunk act during accident track. But today, this man outdid his own performance with this breathtaking act. I don't know if there could be a better way to show to the world as to what this woman means to him... He was traumatized, shaken, grief struck yet didn't lose hope. He had hopes...in his love. He believed that his Ishita won't abandon him like Shagun and push him into the same darkness again. Asking Ruhi to wake her Ishima up, hugging her, feeling her heartbeart... all these places could rip anyone's heart tonight...
Ishita didn't get any footage tonight but yesterday, she gave a tough competition to all these people whom i mentioned tonight. However, today's epi was powerful to the extent that i forgot yesterday's epi. So, i'm moving on.
Apart from Mihika's sub standard expressions and Toshi's OTT reactions which offset each other, the whole cast did an amazing job. Hats off to the whole team... So what if numbers go elsewhere, YHM is and will always hold a special place in each and every viewers heart...
