Will Raman be believed at all?

"Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it."
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

I am a huge fan of the series by GRRM and this quote features among the top 10 of the series in my list.

Now I don't mean to play a spoilsport here so I hope nobody hates me, but the breakneck speed with which we witnessed almost half the spoilers for this week already in Saturday' episode makes me wonder will the exposure of the truth by Raman be actually worth it?

When it was revealed Ishita would be framed by PervMeet and accused of coming onto him the forum was quite divided on what Raman' stance would be - thankfully we were not made to wait for long for the answer or to see what Raman actually does about his belief. He was up and about the next morning itself to prove his wife' innocence without dropping a hint even to her.

Now tonight he would hear PervMeet threaten Sarika, and by tomorrow I believe he would be laying the facts out in the open for his family and the Iyers, even Bala and Vandu along with Mihir might be present for the scene.

I am assuming tonight would be hogged by Shagun and the visit from the judge, not leaving much time considering there are commercial breaks and all.

And while all the forum is celebrating over this, I wonder will this actually turn out to be as easy as we are being made to believe?

Last episode we witnessed Simi stating to her mom she believes Raman would have Ishita back sooner or later, and considering Toshi was silent when the statement was made - she too considers its a highly possibly event, that even if Raman may not trust Ishita she would be back in the home even if only for Ruhi' sake. Simi is even furious with her brother for staying mum and not asking her husband to stay back, support him in any which way. After Raman drops Ruhi at the Iyers once again, the mother daughter duo are up in arms against Raman - they aren't even trying to understand his POV and believe as a son, a brother he ought to support his family first - over his wife, a woman he barely got to know a few months ago. The morning Mihir came to check on Ishita, on Raman' orders Toshi even said he is her son first and she would see to it, he stands by her and make Ishita realize he is her husband only thereafter.

These two women are blinded by their love and worship of that monster - the wolf in sheep clothing- PervMeet to the extent I wouldn't be surprised if they accuse Raman of tarnishing his BIL for the sake of his wife.

After all the spoilers clearly state Simi would stop Ishita when she would be asked by Raman to slap that monster... now if Simi wanted to do the honors herself... I could have understood this, but it doesn't seem the case here.

Also Raman has a history that would stand against him - of favoring a woman he loved back then madly who did turn out to be an adulterer, by going against his own father.

And Sarika - the chief witness has been considered a woman of lose morals by the Bhallas as it is, even before they knew she is Ishita' secretary and post the fiasco where Ishita herself landed up in jail, will even her truth be considered the truth here?

For all his skills and wit, Raman can only look for the facts, lay them out in the open to his family - let them know the findings of his investigation, but he cannot make them believe a truth, a hard truth - for all that its worth. He cannot force Simi to even consider the scenario her brother is not lying as he cant make his mother understand that her thinking which believes- damaad bhagwan hota hai and apne bachche kissi ke kehne se bhure nahi ho jaate are all utter nonsense and absolute bullshit.

It would absolutely be devastating for Raman to know his own family thinks so low of him - which somehow would make him realize the extent of Ishita' pain even more, even if he is already aware of it.

I too was thinking on d same line.

This dilemma will get clear within 2-3 days.

I hope that Raman get some convincing doc like the detailed list of SMS from cellular co. Stating that msg fro Ishu mob to Param was sent on that day only as Param said he has deleted earlier smses so this may give concrete proof.

hope Rinky also play some role in this. As she is not shown after that incident may be they will get her on revelation day.

N Ishu should clearly state that her phone was at home. I think she should ve guessed that Param must ve sent those SMS when mob was at home. Hopefully on revelation day she ask Toshi that didn't she call to inform her that her mob is at home.

I feel atleast Toshi should believe what Raman is saying

simmi and toshi are so blinded by the unemployed and useless husband/damaad, that they may not believe raman's words. to be honest, sarika's confession is not concrete proof because she has lied before and she also works for ishita. simmi and toshi can argue that she has coerced sarika in order to frame the rapist.

we need pictures or recordings but hopefully they will at least give ishita the benefit of doubt, since pervert has already been accused of sexual harassment.

I can understand simmi's behaviour and denial but toshi was an absolute embarrassment. there has to be some kind of justice after the ordeal ishita went through last week.

Wow I hope against hope Ishita isnt attacked again Vyas... though I see where you are coming from, but that would be so horrible for the poor thing. I wish the revelation happens without such an event.
