So ever since Ishita has met Pervy late Saturday night there have been things that have been said and pondered over - people are calling this act of Ishita' as her Mahaanta and foolishness all at the same time.
At the risk of kicking up a hornet' nest I am starting this post since I am kinda amazed with this approach here.
I am a voracious reader when and try to read as many books as I can in my spare time - one of my absolute favorite books is The Art of War, an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician. The book has to be less than 100 pages and is thousands of years old but the lessons taught in it stand true even today.
Why am I mentioning this book here in correlation to Ishita' bring Pervy home plan cos somehow I see so many of the 13 warfare strategies of the book being used here.
Some of the most ancient, age old war tactics are - keep your friends close and your enemies closer & lose a battle to win a war ..
People are wondering why should Ishita do this - why not take Raman into confidence and all but somehow I can see why she did this and more importantly the WHY of the way she did this - this is like her last resort - Simi always keeps blaming her for her broken marriage and home and while she has her reasons to say that... not ONCE has any family member told her don't point your finger at Ishita... nor has anyone explicitly told Ishita its NOT her fault.
Ishita is still finding her feet in a way in this new home and family and here the daughter of the house keeps on blaming her of things she never should and while she has the support of the others... she fears the others might have that very problem in their hearts and minds, that somehow she might have to hear one day should something happen to Simi, should she do something drastic while at the Bhalla home or away from it just because she wants to be with Pervy she would have to hear from the Bhallas - because of you Ishita Simi' happy marriage fell apart, because of you the daughter of the house is ruined.
When Ishita initially came to her MIL and Simi with this problem they didnt even believe her... and now even though she has the belief of her MIL, she hasn't been made to believe no one blames her for this mess. And even though Raman proved her innocent initially he too chose to side with his family, so should really happen to Simi here - Ishita would once again be the scapegoat.
She wants to rip the bandaid off for once so to speak and for that sometimes desperate measures are needed. Also how can we forget - this guy is a family member till he stays married to Simi, so until and unless they get her to wake up and smell the coffee he won't be out of their lives, that he wont stay away permanently is a given since they have a child together - but unless Simi cuts him off they would have his shadow always breathing down their necks. Not to mention she is seeing how this affects Raman and how last when his sister said those words to him that she is breaking her ties with him his outburst was him being hurt by her statements.
Whatever Ishita is doing is for Raman' sake as well here - she sees how his worry for his sister is tearing him apart and how hearing those words from Simi must have hurt him cos Raman may not show it in any other way than his anger but he is very emotional and gets hurt easily. The sister who has known him all his life has forgotten that truth blinded by the love of a repulsive man but the woman who has just entered his life cannot see the man who has always stood by her in any kind of pain.
Saturday night' epi made me think this - when Simi goes on her blame Ishita mission again for the nth time... no one even says a word like why are you blaming her in this your filthy husband went after her, she didn't provoke him and ask him to come and molest her not even Raman... while they are protecting Ishita, defending her and all - which is a good thing - they need to make her know, no one blames her in THIS family.
Her own family especially Mihika was vocal about things when Ishita was back at her Amma' that how can these people do this to you Akka... I rem I loved the gal for her feistiness there but among the Bhallas has anyone ever told her you don't need to blame yourself for Simi' ruined marriage - Pervy is a filthy guy and he would target anything that moves which has a bosom... and that is less than 40 in terms of age... the truth coming out because of what happened with you is unfortunate but NOT your fault. I guess thats what makes Ishita feel so guilty for Simi too.
As is said hear a lie often times and you start believing it and that is I think what is happening here too... Ishita while knowing she is not wrong feels if not for her Simi could have been happier even if living under an illusion. Even in the scene with her Amma she says everyone at home is worried because of her - somehow she feels responsible for a problem even though she is a victim here and not the perpetrator because sometimes you need to hear things to feel absolved.
And with the incident on Rakhi day that happened between Shagun and Tyagi, which Ishita might have learned from Raman perhaps or witnessed... she would be scared to have her SIL - Raman' sis - live in the home of such a man, if he can pimp Shagun, the woman he pretends to call as his fiance in front of the world, Simi is the sister of the man he hates, would he even think once before doing the same with her if someone offered him a deal in lieu of her and could that husband of hers be trusted to protect his wife should such an occasion arise?
Loads to ponder here even if it may seem an act of Mahaanta or illogical at surface value.
