<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">The "CHEE" per se i don't think was the wrong word ..but how it was said .. when it was said & what followed it was the shocker & why the entire forum is up in arms about it ..</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">Now as u put it ... she is a REJECTED WOMAN .. she thinks she is HALF A WOMAN .. if this same scene had happened in the beginning of their marriage the JOKE of it would have kept this same forum in splits .. But too much has transpired between the 2 for this to be a "CHEE" moment ..</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">What all u say makes immense sense to me .. in ur last post i too wrote that the CHEE is justified for a woman for whom PHYSICAL INTIMACY is a BIG BARRIER specially coz she feels she is HALF A WOMAM .. PHYSICAL INTIMACY in our country is normally related to creation of progeny .. a place where she feels she is a failure hence Physical Intimacy will always be a Barrier in her mind ..</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">BUT having said that .. one they have been physically close just a couple of days back ... in a shower .. after which her reaction was very normal ...also the nameplate scene & her acceptance of RAMAN as her husband ... was a big step ..</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">Now if u look at this scene ... If the "chee" had come immediately after the APPA dialog it wud make sense .. she is disgusted by the talk of intimacy & she is disgusted about the joke that Raman has made of it ... ( i think Aani pointed this out during the LU yesterday .. & she was bang on) ...</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">But for me personally what was even more difficult to palate was the way she cleans herself .. she rubs her hands as if she was TAINTED .. that was completely not PALATABLE to me ... that was WRONG ON SO MANY COUNTS ... i just gave up counting ... Thats one juvenile ... secondly it belies the closeness these two have already formed .. three she is a dam doctor ... she was all over him when she gave him that back rub ... a million other reasons why that particular SHOT was the WORST EVER ON YHM ...</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">Awkwardness yes ... also the nok jhok to cover the awkwardness .. which is what RAMAN does by bringing in the APPA topic was APT ... this was a BIG move for the couple .. the ease & no hesitation with which Raman went to sleep next to his wife .. that moment was lost completely .. either don't show INTIMACY now if the writers are not ready for it .. or then show it in a way which is palatable ..</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">The other thing which irked me & probably the entire forum is a lack of follow thru of this scene .. when the forum says Less scenes of ISHRA .. i guess this is what they are crying for ... U see in the last 2 intimate scenes ... 1. Button popping ..2 . Shower scene ... There is a follow thru .. they both exchange awkward looks .. at the end of the button popping scene u get a monologue of ishita's & at the end of the shower scene u get a monologue of raman;s ... now u know where these 2 stand vis a vis what u saw ... But in this scene there was NO FOLLOW THRU ... it jumped all places ... hence a feeling of W*F did i see .. WHY DID THEY EVEN SHOW THIS ??</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">During the LU in the first half of this scene .. i had mentioned .. it will be ONE STEP FORWARD .. 2 STEPS back for these 2 ... but this was a million steps back ... now of course we are seeing this scene in isolation ... all one can hope is that a follow thru at some point about this scene & the writers are able to justify the same ..</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#0000ff">PHEW ... i am posting more than a regular post in a reply ...😡 UGH sorry</font>
