Fantastic prediction and analysis. You have thought it out quite well and looks like it might pan out this way only. You are right, one feels exceptional loyalty for his friend, and on the other hand, the adversary has no desire to marry his sister

Raman has gone one step ahead in Ishitology and actually asked Mihir to request Ashok Shagun wedding take place. True... a very costly price indeed

I agree Ishita will continue her jasoosi under one divine pretext or the other and attempt to clean up every mess. Their understanding will not increase by 1 %, just a ISHRA scene every week or so, no work rivalry, no dentist office woes, no struggles of raising Ruhi... no urban working mother issue will be addressed

This big can of worms is being opened exactly at the time the show is being moved to the 7:30 slot. Now Ishita, Raman, Shagun, Mihir and Simmi can all hide behind curtains and overhear conversations they should not be and it will go from one OTT melodrama to another

I was hoping this will be a show about how Ishita tries to fit into a Punjabi household, how Raman beats Ashok at his every game... serious work rivalries... how it affects his work-life balance...how they seek each other out in being entangled in a joint family...how she falls in love with Raman, how they may be forced to take care of Adi too some time in the future, how the husband wife relationship is impacted by it all. Later the whole infertility thing... her wanting to get pregnant somehow and how she battles her own demons while trying to accept the life with Ruhi and Aditya

They have the greatest group of people of any daily soap, the Iyers and Bhallas are unique and distinct, so well crafted...

Hmmm...

yeah but I think ishita was under the impression that raman was still not over his past because he has never directly said it, which i think is ridiculous but ishita isn't very smart. today it looked like ishita finally understood it.

I've always said that raman has such strong reactions to shagun due to their history but it was popular forum theory that ishita thinks raman is still not over his past. I thought that was outrageous but ishita really is very dense when it comes to marriage and romance, so i think this must be the case.

There is no continuity in ishita's character and I'm tired of trying to understand her, so i just gave up. now I just ignore her unless she really riles me up. *shrugs*

Finally I got a place where I could vent out my views. Thanks Nisha.. I never expect much logic or rationality in a daily soap, that too from Ekta camp, I still feel there should be a considerable level of it.

.. We are not stuck to the same Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi -Tulsi or Kahani ghar ghar ki- Parvathi types of female protagonist.. We have crossed that belief of typical idealistic characters long time..

Protagonists should have some flaws. Portraying a character way too much idealistic and being too naive to be believed is becoming indigestible.When the protagonist is a well educated professional, independent, principled, I would expect that she should be smart enough to read the real world around her. Mistakes done a couple of times can be excused, but never learning from it is unpardonable. Whether bringing Param and Shagun home without considering and Consulting other , believing in some stranger's story till creating a scene in Mihir's Tilak function in the name of mending the relationship is not expected from a smart woman like Ishita.

I loved Ishita's character in the beginning and Divyanka adorning it was awesome.. But lately, the character seems to be lost somewhere between being smart and acting stupid... I am slightly disappointed. Being a woman myself, I don't want an educated, professional , urban female to be depicted like this..

Today I expected Ishita to say something like - she was playing all along with Shagun to get the truth out from Mihir and she had doubted Sanjana from the beginning, (just to be save the character to being complete fool).. But NOOO.. Or at least expected her to apologize to Mihir and Raman for all the fiasco in the function however clearly stating that she is still upset with Raman for hiding it from her.. but again NO.. Being idealistic also mean to accept ones mistake and rectifying it.. I m again disappointed..

Another major let down was Raman too. Acting as if nothing happened when he clearly warned her not to interfere in Mihir's personal life and not even apologizing for hiding the truth from her.

But positives that should be appreciated are

1) Raman and Mihir's Bonding: Fabulous acting by KP and Raj

2) Very Understanding approach by Iyers

To Ekta: I remember you saying in one of your interviews, I think Koffee with Karan... that people Idolize men and fantasize women on big screen, but idolize women and fantasize men from small screen. I agree to your point to some extend though.. However, I don't want to idolize a very naive and immature character like Ishita ( as it is turning out to be). 😭

oh come on zara
what about shagun drunken drama when he said that after 6 years she is out of his life . Din't he said directly that ? in past so many incidences we have written here so many times that he showed by his reactions towards shagun.

and even indirectly his body language his taunts his behavior were always prominent. If she can understand his taunts for other circumstances about her lectures, he understands she was tired , and all, how comes he will not understand it by raman s other actions ?
even if she is dense in case of marriage or romance, that is not allowing her to think he has not moved on. When a person isn't ready to face up to their own insecurities or deal with their painful past, then pretending becomes a way to avoid dealing with the issues. Her romance with Subbu was platonic first love and she was very young. Raman has been married before, he has been patient given her reluctance to read his signs. She's recently stopped saying chee which is an improvement. After sharing the same room with him covering her eyes when he's partially clothed is 🤔. Left to Ishita he may have to resign to a platonic marriage😛.

but agreed, she is most inconsistent character being a lead poorly written

regarding "mere raman" my pov: she expected raman like her , "advise others to sudharofy life of people who have done immense damage to your life even if in future there is no guaranty of they would not harass you" he has passed this status in her sangath so now she will allow him and not call "chheee" 😕 just because he has advised , she gave clean chit to her behavior towards him as colorful past like perv?

that does mean if perv fakely says i will help in marraige of sarika and romi, ishita will give him clean chit from all rapist attempt and all his sins 😲

I really don't understand what is her propaganda of good husband?

WELCOME

All this newspaper/journal needs is a psychiatric intern👏

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO VYAS👏

ALL THANKS TO HIM This daily is evolving into a really intelligent thought provoking commentary.👏

I actually said a few days back the exact same thing you seem to have observed/mentioned today. AGREE COMPLETELY Shagun is selfish greedy and avacious..she is amoral but she went after whatever SHE WANTED. Yes she is not noble or pious but she is human... on a similar vein FORGIVING her should not be mandatory

Mihir and Raman are human too, some grieve for YEARS some for months. The onus of pardon should be upon the individual himself/herself, NOT mandated by a Bahu...

GREAT ANALYSIS and thank you for sharing valuable insight about clinical processes

Thanks for the refreshing new perspective. I will give credit where its due...yep you are right it is indeed a different show... in the context you talk about👏

At the risk of Mods disciplining me I will make a plug here... a show a friend PMed me to watch called Zindagi Gulzar Hai, yes the famous Fawad Khan show... NO TOUCHING whatsoever... brilliant, every line reads like poetry... every interaction is sizzling.. its the same cliched story but OUTSTANDING... who said "its impossible to feature the leads majority of the time in an episode"? The leads feature 35 minutes in a 45 minute episode...

The story is taut the narration gripping...

Why cant it be a ISHRA story like that?
