Lovely post Ruby.
You know last night when Raman went on stage and thanked Ishita - I too connected it with his speech at the award function - how times have changed since then and so much is different now.
Then he had thanked a woman - his ex for his success and said she paved his path by leaving him behind - his words were how her leaving him had inspired him enough to make someone out of himself from an anonymous man - today the same man once again thanked another woman in his life... who at the time of that event was just a stranger to him in a way, a woman he despised no less and called her the woman to whom he credits his success, since she isn't only the motivation behind it but also the woman who is by his side while that happens.
Though what makes the most distinctive difference is the man himself - on that day he had conquered the world so to speak as he stood out and lifted a trophy that spelled his success as the very woman and man who betrayed him stood before him. Then even that recognition - something which he yearned for at the time to show his competence couldnt give him the thing he most wanted - peace of mind, some relief, the control over his life and the balm to his bruised heart since he returned home drunk out of his mind not by celebrating but loathing those two who to show him down resorted to another trickery.
It was the very woman who he ended up with at that night as he humiliated and berated her and finally passed out in her arms.
Tonight that woman has changed the man so much in a matter of months that he knew even if he was losing out on a post he had so much more to register in the column of gains/profit - peace of mind, some relief, a respite to which he owes his sanity, the happiness of his child and family and so much more. For her he could overlook all material gains since she gave him something all the riches combined in the world failed to do - she healed him and is continuing to do so with her gentle hands, her loving and caring presence.
I love how you have interpreted the planting scene too - to me what makes that scene symbolic is the way they had Raman trying to help Adi in planting that sap and later showing him how to go about it once he has placed the sapling.
It was the difference that stood out here - planting a sapling and giving birth to a child - taking care of the sapling once its planted is akin to nurturing it - which can be equated to raising a child. Raman a father in his suit was ready to sink to the ground and get his hands and clothes dirty to help his child - he was guiding Adi the way to do things while his mother rambled on about her spoiled manicure... how very much it states.
To raise a child you have to sink to your knees at times when they fall and cry, when they are hurt and injured yet you do it, when you raise an infant you are bound to get dirty in the process but it doesn't matter to a real parent who continues to pamper and love the child even when changing diapers or merely throwing the dirty napkin on which the little tyke just burped. Also you can only guide your child once they get a little older they have to do the works you can't make their choices for them, only assure your guidance and presence.
Regarding the robe scene - I found it so cute and in a way such a subtle indication of the change in equation once again. A man blushes as his wife accuses him of taking back his gift and returning hers as she says he won't change now would he? He doesn't deny or refute or say anything just shyly looks down and smiles even as she smiles while accusing him.
When she gave him that mask she had said some people don't bother to control their eyes and he too uttered similar words last night.
What was unsaid and yet confirmed was the right here though - his to look at her, admire her, long for her as he does the same - which she finally gave him as she admitted it to herself shyly looking at her blushing, smiling self - aisa kabhi nahi socha ke woh mere pati hai.
His teasing about disrobing and her reluctance to look at him while not leaving until the last moment so even affirmed desires and attraction that is mutual among them - he is acknowledging it now since he could admit in a very funny talk - jo mujhe dekhna hai nahi bhi dekhna hai jo dekha accha bhi lag raha hai ... and while she does feel the stirrings of that attraction - she is scared too - of a foreign feeling or perhaps the return of a known feeling but this time with a man she never thought would invoke those thoughts and desires within her.
And last but not the least your fav guy Param 😆 (you might be his only fan in that regard Ruby, though yeah I love Anurag since he makes us hate pervy)
it was a shock to say the least to hear the word wife and love in the same line as much as him being aghast at using a ghar ki aurat - this the same man who lusted for a woman who helped him, who happens to be the wife of his BIL
I think if he does change it would be when things would really hit him in the gut- his change would be to convince the same woman he speaks of loving that he isnt the same man anymore when finally she would be face to face with the reality that she continues to deny and delude herself.
The day she wakes up to reality might just be the day his world comes crashing down and it be too late for him to ever win back the love and affection of the woman who completely adores and practically worships him when all would be lost forever.
And Shagun definitely is gonna be the one woman who time and again would play a vital role in the lives of those she is connected to one way or another.
I rest my post here today LOL got carried away as usual.
