Tangled Web of Relationships - Mihir and Shagun - Page 4

great post 👍🏼

Your analysis is a reminder of why the show is aptly titled ye hai mohabbatein. I was completely clueless about Mihir and Shagun's relationship when I had watched the Mihir-Trisha engagement scene. I had just thought that it was a Bhabhi-devar relationship gone sour, for obvious reasons. So them being siblings had been quite the shocker for me😃

Looking back now, it is evident that there was more to Mihir's annoyance with Shagun; her betrayal to Raman having hurt him more because she was his sister.

Note that even during the accident drama, Mihir had not only vehemently opposed Shagun himself, but was also miffed with Raman for having sided her.

As you rightly pointed out, I'm sure Mihir is deeply ashamed of his sister's antics. But I also believe that Mihika being the love of his life deserves to know the truth about this relationship. After all, what is 'mohabbat' without honesty and trust?

I totally agree with you .. Mihir needs to tell everything to Mihika. She deserves to know and I think that he will in a while after some drama ... that is the first step of a relationship ... to bare your soul in front of your partner.
Lets see.

Thank you for reviewing. 😊

Interesting post btalwar.

I like your take on Shagun. I always thought that there is some part of Shagun, the woman beneath the greed and hunger for money, who regretted her choice. It is visible in some instances - in her care and interest for Mihir's life, in her pained expression when he dismisses her, it is there when she sees Raman going to great extremes for Ishita, it is there when she feels jealous of her daughter having a deep connection of love with Ishita, ...

As for Mihir I honestly think he wants to move on and he has been successful to a great extent so far. I love the bound he shares with Raman, I find it so so touching. Mihir once said that Raman took him under his wings since he was still a teenager and made him who he is today. When Shagun left Raman, I think he couldn't take his sister betraying them both, him the brother and the man who did so much for them, doted on them. He chose right from wrong and made Raman his family, his everything.

But one doesn't forget his own sister like that. For all she did, they must have shared sweet moments too. However there is extreme resentment in him towards her. In a way he must be angered that she took his lovable sister from him, she took happiness from them. His sentiments and him keeping the rakhi show that she is still in a corner of his mind and maybe she always will be.

Absolutely correct. Beautiful analysis. Raman actually took Mihir under his wings so no wonder he kind of acts as indebted towards him, yet at the end of the day, he cannot forget that Shagun is his elder sister, someone who was with him from the time he was introduced into this world ... it is said that the bond of siblings is even greater than the bond between parents so definitely even though it can be severed, it cannot be broken.

New spoiler has it that param will be back in Bhallas house

We are all making predictions along the same line as you to explain why Raman will take such a move

But fact still remains redwine that this expectation comes with danger, for Ishita mostly.

Raman wouldn't be able to have his eyes on him 24/7, param is smart and chances are that one day no one will be there to actually protect Ishita...there's no guarantee that param will be caught...

So is it worth the cost?

Lovely post 👏
I didnt even think of that rakhi, i thoughts maybe an old one...i didnt thoughts that shagun had send him...and he has kept it...

@ redwine - compromise to this extent?

Gud morning Bhanu ..

Firstly thank u for linking my post to ur post ... Ties that Bind & Bonds that tie ...

This is my fav post of mine ... not because of what i wrote in it .. but because of the title ... so thanx once again ...

I wrote last nite about the incredible simplicity in ur writing ... u are truly talented .. its not just ur talent with words but the depth of emotional connect & stirring that ur writing manages to evoke that leaves the reader with a smile on the face .. am an ardent fan ..

To wake up in the morning & log into IF & read ur post today ... has worked better than the morning cup of tea ... the relation between brother & sister is very special to me so it evoked a special pinch & stir for me personally ... so once again Thank u for articulating so exquisitely about a relation which is the one relation which u start from birth & is with u till the end ... its special as in theres love, mischief, fun, strength, promise ...

Ur post talks about the Mihir & Shagun relation ... ( they being brother & sister is a given) but if one reads it a bit more deeply & uncovers the depth of ur post ... what u get is the relation between Raman & Simmi as well ...

There was one brother Mihir who in his own way tried to stop his sister from making the BIGGEST MISTAKE Of her LIFE ... but he being a young kid all he could do was take a STAND ...

He without his fault is party to his sisters DEVASTATION ... yes Shagun is devastation ... she has lost everything ... the one thing she walked out for she does not even have that ... ASHOK KHANNA ... ( will elaborate in my post tonite) ... Mihir while knowing this from the outset COULD NOT STOP his sister from committing that MISTAKE ...

The tie that bound them together was severed by the sister ... but the bond which ties them together ..makes him keep the rakhi & makes her send the rakhi ..

What is RAKHI ... its a string that a sister ties on the hands of her brother binding him to be her protector for life ... that PROTECTION was torn apart by SHAGUN herself .

But a brother still manages to keep the string with him ... even while he has cut the connection .. his promise to PROTECT is intact ...

Then theres the other brother RAMAN ... THE ELDER BROTHER ... this part of the post shall continue tonite ... 😉

ALL IN ALL ...👏

🤗 Your comment made my day ... I cannot point a single line ... the entire post in itself is amazing ... I also wanted to continue the same thought with Raman and Simmi especially after the precap yesterday ... but eventually decided against it ... because my tired mind was not letting me think coherently ... You are right, believe me ... the Ties that Bind and the Bonds that Tie .. it is my favorite post of yours too ... and the title ... the meaning couldn't get any deeper ...

Mihir was the by stander ... and unknowingly a partner in crime for Shagun's devastation ... and it haunts him. What makes the matters worse for him is that he was taken care by the same man who was the victim of this devastation ... he did the only thing he could ... he denounced his relationship with his sister ... and came up with a new identity ...

Yet, we can lie to everyone but not to ourselves. So the same Mihir keeps the rakhi intact ... a thread which promises protection ... As someone else pointed out, it will be interesting to watch out Mihir's reaction if Shagun is in grave danger ... I think even vice versa will be equally interesting ...

We are all grey characters in the real world ... while we don a mask to display a different self in front of the world... the naked truth comes out everytime we stand in front of the mirror and have a heart to heart talk ...

Waiting for your post of Raman and Simmi eagerly 😊.

Talking about Raman and Simmi's bond as bro and sis, the precap was telling...

Raman who was devastated by the betrayal of his ex-wife Shagun when she broke the bonds of matrimony and walked out on him and Ruhi for greener pastures into the arms of Ashok Khanna today couldn't care less if Simmi had to break her bonds of matrimony rather than send her to live with the pervert Param. This is his sister who has forged his signature, stolen his business files all at the behest of her husband (she was misled on occasion) yet the protective brother Raman wouldn't let her throw her life away to a man who lacks character. He prefers his sister to cut her losses now than regret later when Pervy could make decisions which would impact her and their daughter in a bad way. Raman is successful and can provide and protect his sister until she finds someone who would treat her right.

This yet again brings Ruby's title Ties that bind or Bounds that Tie ... it is the relationship of the elder brother Raman ... it is the same like a cat fight between siblings where they even go to the extent of saying that I do not want to see your face, beat each other black and blue, and cry like a baby. Yet, only a few hours later, if someone else tries to bully either of them, they both stand together as a protective wall which is impossible to penetrate.

For Raman, it is the same. They may have personal differences yet when the elder brother in him realizes that his sister is about to make a grave mistake ... he does not care about the rest of the world and stands in front of her ... in this case, against her as a protective wall ...

Very nice take on the relationship Bhanu..
LIke Ishu says to Bala - Divorce is between a couple, not between parents - which was a very deep meaning statement , likewise some relationships cant be broken forever.
Mihir in his heart must love Shagun but he made a decision to stay with RKB because of the reason shagun left him and he feels his loyalty lies there.

Shagun too has run after clothes and money whereas she never understood that the most beautiful clothes that a woman can dress in are the arms of the man who loves her.

Ishu understands that and in that way looks more beautiful than her

I would actually like to see a changed Shagun who returns to Mihir after she walks out on Ashok(I'd like to she her walk out on Ashok, than Ashok throwing her out) and Mihir taking care of her, making her financially stable and responsible, maybe even get her married to a nice guy

Frankly, I do not think that we will get to see reincarnation of Shagun ... for the sake of the show, she will always be the bad woman ... my point is more towards the fact even though our mind instructs us to do break some relations, our heart cannot ... so inspite of the circumstances Mihir still loves his sister knowing that she is not a good woman.

I think definitely after the break up from Ashok ... she is coming back to invade Bhalla's space ... only to realize that her spot has already been filled by another woman ... even in the heart of the same man whom she till now assumes can never get over her.
