I hate to be making another post on this forum that's not quite different from those floating around at the moment but I cannot help myself, I need to rant and BIG TIME!
A year and a half ago I discovered this show and it slowly became a part of my life - it introduced me to a number of wonderful people on this forum that I am priviliged to call my friends today but today that very show is making me repulsed and angry beyond what I can possibly explain in words.
What attracted me and most of us to this show was the 'REALISM' (HA!) it had. You could identify with a child called Ruhi wanting nothing more than the love of her parents but lost and abandoned in their conflicts, a woman who came in to fill the emptiness of her life in the form of a mother who in turn wanted nothing more than a child calling her mother and a man who was so disillusioned with the very concept of love, jaded about marriage and scared and scarred in equal parts about getting close to anyone again in his life, so much so he was unable to even display or reciprocate the love for his own child that he had in spades in his heart...somewhere their lives coincided and they fit together with each other, Ishita became the missing piece of the puzzle that was Raman and Ruhi' lives and they became the ones who looked beyond the tag that society had labeled Ishita with... it seemed like they were always just meant to be together and these fictional characters struck a chord with all of us...
Today a year and a half later, everything feels like bile to be blunt here because this is NOT the YHM we fell in love with, yes it had shit earlier - we all were exasperated with a majboor Raman in the accident track, wanted to give an earful to Mihika during her bechari Shagun ko bachao mission, hell even recently with Ishita getting miraculously pregnant we were throwing up our hands in the air because hello, a woman who has fertility issues got pregnant in what can be the blink of an eye - like shut the hell up; but nothing, nothing can be more repulsive than what it seems is headed our way.
Ekta and SP made tall talks when launching the show about it depicting nature versus nurture and all that jazz...well they accomplished that - in the face of death Ishita, twice, didnt think about her own life over that of her children' Ruhi and Adi, even they were not ready to leave her in those moments... so in a way mission accomplised, nurture won against nature.
So why in the name of all that is holy are they butchering that very message?
Why is Raman in his guilt, as per the new promo, not realizing that if he forces this surrogacy upon Ishita, is being no different than Subbu, as per whom a woman is only worth her fertilised eggs?
Like seriously what the f**k! *pardon the language please but I am so pissed!*
Can there be a greater insult to the woman he just told a mere few days ago that he is fine if they have no biological child of their own, since they already have kids and each other, to ask his wife to let his ex step in as the surrogate for their child, an ex, who at every chance she got has only humiliated his wife and made no bones about it?
Why does Ishita have to go for surrogacy at Raman' insistence so soon after a miscarriage? Cant Raman give her a little space and break? If she conceives in the future even with medical intervention, which should have been what got her pregnant even the first time, would it kill him to wait for a couple of months or a year or two or even more? And if she cant have another child, so what, arent they parents already?
Wasnt Raman pursuing Ishita to get pregnant so she could experience motherhood in every possible way then how the hell does he think, that watching Shagun sport another baby bump, help Ishita? Particularly if that child is theirs? Seriously, what the eff?
I was one of those viewers who never wanted to watch Ishita and Raman have a serious altercation that would perhaps lead to them seperating even if for a while, if not for a longer term but today, I wish nothing more than to see Ishita stand up against this shit that Raman is trying to pull off, I wouldnt mind watching Ishita walk out of her home and away from her husband if it gets down to it, because would really that child not be the worst humilation thrown at her?
Raman' guilt has made him lose his mind, I cant think of any other explaination for his willingness to opt for surrogacy so soon after the miscarriage, but it should cost Ishita her dignity, her sense of self-worth that she had just found again after years of humiliations subjected to her about her infertility that led her to believe that she isnt worth any man because she cannot give him a child of his own. Raman, the man who gave Ishita that confidence once, in his guilt cannot and shouldnt strip her away of that once again and more cruelly than Subbu or all the other men who rejected Ishita over the years combined.
The love Cvs have for Shagun can make them blind, can get them to try and justify this shit by showing that the newly reformed whiter than white Shagun would kill two birds with one stone if she goes in for this surrogacy - help pay of the debt she believes she owes to Ishita and expose the scandal taking place in the clinic, but it in no ways can be enough to get the viewers over the nausea, the pure disgust just thinking about this we viewers are experiencing.
I get it this is star and ekta' baby and they can do with it whatever they feel like but it doesnt mean we have to like it...I dont know how they come up with these things, the idiots, but it just makes me feel so mad right now, it seems everything that we loved about this show has to be slaughtered to the point where we ourselves wish for it to end than to watch anymore of it. I cant help but think of a line I once heard one of my favorite characters once mouthed in a show that is one of my all time favorites and echo the sentiment as well as understand what inspired it in the first place.
Sheldon: They can't just cancel a show like Alphas. You know? They have to help the viewers let go. Firefly did a movie to wrap things up. Buffy the Vampire Slayer continued on as a comic book. Heroes gradually lowered the quality season by season till we were grateful it ended.
