Okay so I am really enjoying this show and while I never followed any of Karan' previous shows and got into this one purely because of Divyanka, I am liking this pair. I kinda hate the passive-aggressive rudeness sometimes Raman flaunts but do find his one liners cracking, somehow the snarky Bhalla is my preferred mode of Raman Bhalla 😆
But I am not making my post to discuss that, loads around for that😳 This post is merely inspired by my (overactive) imagination LOL..
As we already know, last night Ishi spots Simmi while she was out to buy stationary but thinks of it as a delusion and thanks to the spoilers we learned her suspicions will be confirmed thanks to her visit to a mobile shop.
What got me thinking is there has to be a certain relevance to all of this... esp now.
Prior to IshRa' marriage this wouldn't have made a dent in Ishita' life, but now she is curious about Simmi' lie. And eventually being the (Balaji) heroine that she is, her sleuth skills will unravel Simmi' secret. But what if Ishita ends up learning a whole lot more than she intended or even meant?
I am assuming Simmi' big secret is that she is having an extra-marital affair.
We know, in this show Ekta has promised bolder, real to life content and hence even asked for the slot she did on the channel. Shagun' infidelity has already raised the issue in this context - that women too, can cheat in their marriage. It isn't always the man that strays. But we have no idea, not exactly and completely as to how Shagun' affair with Ashok began and how did Raman learn of the truth of his wife' cheating ways, and nor does Ishita.
If, and I repeat, IF, Simmi is too treading down the same path here, this will invariably lead to the disclosure of a lot of ugly secrets in the Bhalla household. As they say, skeletons will be dug up and Raman will not take it kindly, that his sister is repeating history in the family.Had Simmi being the one cheated on, Raman would not have taken things lying down, but if the roles are reversed and his sister ends up being the culprit, the cheating partner, he would go bat-sh*t crazy, this will definitely stir up a storm.
A storm which I think may finally reveal the truth of Raman & Shagun' marriage in front of Ishita, which is vital to their relationship. Yes they have married for Ruhi and are under the same roof now, they are actively taking up the role of Ruhi' parents, even Raman who after Ashok' lies has finally awoken to the fact that he loves his daughter dearly and cannot bear to lose her (even if she was not his biological daughter, which she is).
The latest happenings in IshRa' life is making them see each other in a different light and making them realize there is so much error in their preconceived notions about each other. Be it Ishita silently conducting the DNA test for Raman' sake, Raman standing up for his wife in front of Subbu' mom and even the slap which Raman silently took because he has accepted Ishita as Ruhi' mom (not only to win a case) and of course ishita' remorse which makes her see she should not have presumed things and punished Raman. Also, the DNA test has not only unveiled Ruhi' parentage it is unraveling the loving, fatherly side of Raman, which his family tried to coax out of him for so long and Ishita, finally managed with a few sharp words, Yes she can be hard on Raman at times, but I think he needs this.
I believe Raman was always loved a lot in his family, but post Shagun' departure from his life, his mom especially has been treating him with kid gloves. Yes he needed the love and care, to keep him stable post the huge blow to his marriage and even self-esteem, but he also needs someone like Ishita, who can make him realize that his quest for revenge shouldnt make him the person he loathes; as she once pointed out to him during Ruhi' custody trial.
But all of this is yet to make an impact on IshRa, as a couple. For them to truly fall in love and accept this marriage beyond a coming together as a compromise for Ruhi' custody they need to get to know each other. Which means they have to get to know the truth about their past. To this date, nor Raman neither any member of his family has so much as uttered a word about the falling out of Shagun & Raman, but if Simmi is truly being an adulteress this will kick up a hornet' nest, which may finally let Ishita know that all the things she thought she knew about the failure of Raman' earlier marriage were lies and her assumptions based on her thinking that Raman is a horrible man and must have been the reason why Shagun chose to leave him for another man.
They say you cannot make a new beginning unless you have a clean slate, IshRa not only have their issues in terms of their baggage which comes from their failed relationships but also their misunderstandings and prejudices, only when they get to know each other beyond their grudges and faulty judgments will they be able to embark on a journey towards the new beginnings of both their lives with love for each other.
