Interesting post !
Given reality is being mentioned, sure Raman's feeling, emotions and guilt is all very valid and human. His affection and vulnerability due to Adi is also very human.
But then must look at his actions. Humans do make mistakes but slowly learn from it. Raman has shown to be vulnerable father with Adi to start with and he is still at the same place.
Yes Raman needs time to grow but matter is when it comes to Adi is he willing to do that?
I am not even talking abt Ishita, Ruhi or his family right now. I am talking simply abt Raman himself. Knowingly fall and falter means it is a choice. He has taken this choice. Sure he says he is willing to face consequences for it but is he really? It is shown he is willing for it now but looking at past episodes not too much. By being this vulnerable father he is hurting himself. While vulnerability is very real, but till how long others can carry this vulnerable person?
In past where he has given into Adi's obsession, what good has really come?
If Raman wants to grow as person, he has to make hard choices. Now one would say he is doing that but is he really? How are his actions different from past behavior? The added element is guilt, this time for Ishita and not Ruhi. But so what? For his son he is willing to play with law?
I don't know what frustrates people on forum, but yes people do expect more from him. After all he is the hero.
If it was shown that Raman is still stuck between what to do, some impulsive actions of do something for Adi but then step back do something opposite; then you really have good grey character and confusion. But what is being portrayed is Raman is thinking abt Adi's well being and his actions are only thinking abt him. Later he shows guilt for Ishita but there is no action. So I ask does he really feel stuck or between rock and hard place? Raman needs to grow out of this for Adi, for Ruhi, for Ishita; does he has some individualized sense of being or not? I read so many times his reactions in various posts here, how abt having actions. And in past when Raman had true actions, he rocked 😉
Yes people like Raman sure exist, but then they are left to be on their own. I should know as I work with such people. Here CVs are showing something real but their method is still same old. The presentation is clearly partial. As audience we hear person's guilt & self talk but is that what really takes place in reality? Do other people get to hear abt self talk?
While Adi is kid, he too needs to grow. If CVs show Raman needs to grow, well they also need to show ways Adi needs to grow. Just coz he's a kid he shouldn't be let off easily. Especially when Ruhi has shown going through so much. So sooner or later Raman actually needs act like a father ! Doesn't matter if it is convenient for him or not. In past he has simply asked Adi to say sorry but that was not coz of Raman it was his fear of truth coming out. So Adi needs to do right thing coz his father Raman knocked sense into him !!
Have no idea what CVs plan. But if they are showing Raman making so many mistakes like in reality, then later they must show him being punished for everything as well coz that's reality !!
But then end of the day it's fiction tv show. Don't know abt others, I may watch it till it is bearable 😆 Whenever self-respect is compromised, I start moving away from it 😆
God I have written so much 😲
