Res, back in a few mins Leo
*** EDITED
Leo, I started writing this while I was waiting for your rant. So the first part of my reply is my perspective, before reading your post
I am a happy person today. Ishita & Raman's relationship was at the forefront of most of the episode! And all of it was handled with a mature, heart-felt conversation. It was so surreal that I had to keep craning my neck towards the TV to get a better hearing angle! I couldn't believe the conversation was that perfect. And by perfect I mean it wasnt rosy at all, it was quite realistic.
Who'd have thought that Adi's important date would circle back to the discussion about Ishita's infertility. Nicely done indeed! "You know I could never give you that happiness, and if you were looking for that, why did you marry me Raman?" My God, that line even made me choke up. That issue is the crux of this show, and it was handled excellently today.
And the way Ishita steered that conversation around to how she wanted to be a part of everything related to Ruhi (she included Ruhi's brother and Ruhi's father very cleverly into the conversation, smart woman!). I dont think Raman could believe his luck, and I believe his tear represented gratitude, relief, respect, admiration for the woman sitting in front of him.
Although Shagun wanted to put a dent in Ishita and Raman's relationship, most of what she said was in fact true. The concern from Raman, his guilt was genuine. I would have been disappointed if either of them were flippant about this issue!
Circling back to that conversation, I think it was quite sensitively handled. I only said yesterday, that Shagun has so much potential and they should start using her more than just a 'bimbo' with failed plans. Her 'act' in front of Raman today was done quite well. Even I believed for a minute that she was actually hurt because she thought her son was being ignored by his father! And honestly, I didnt mind that Raman thanked and apologised to SHagun. Her guilt trip was that good!
Vandu's pregnancy scare... Boy they are really going to drill down into their financial situation!!! Lets see how it develops.
The Dhaba scene, I'll be honest, I remembered my tagathon OS and had my jaw open for most of it 😲
Now Leo... your post...
I agree what you said about their love story. Its not going to be a typical one, but thats what we all signed up for, no? So like I said, I am happy with what I saw.
I am still not sure Leo, if she will fall for him first... His reaction to her today reinforced my belief that will fall for her first. Whether or not he accepts it is an entirely different thing :) He is Ravan Kumar after all.
