For someone who preaches about manners, sahi aur galat tareeke, that Mani is mannerless, poking his nose in other's business while being way too much judgmental (without real basis no less) in the process. He has crossed boundaries many times. He is no one to judge or lecture about how one should act.
It was not his place to be in the doctor's cabin with Raman even if he was the one to fetch said doctor. A patient medical condition and history is strictly private and is discussed with immediate family. Not an x, y, z childhood friend who suddenly appeared after God knows how many years. Wonder why Raman or Iyers didn't prevent it? Convenient writing?
It wasn't his place again to be the one to uniterally choose to tell Ruhi about Ishita's hospitalization. Her parents, her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, all decided not to. Who is he to interfere?
Again it wasn't his place to bring Ruhi to hospital without her parent's permission. Did he even consider the emotional impact that would have on the child? Hell no!
It's good that Raman's tolerance level snapped at that time. I loved the point he made.
Mani has no deep understanding of Ishita. He just knows some out of the book kind of facts about her, that's all. (Most of them were wrong anyway as per story 😆)
He may have been a childhood friend, shared sweet and good memories with Ishita but does he know the woman she has become? The answer is no imo. At best he is now a friendly acquaintance, nothing more. They have lost contact for years it seems. He didn't even know what happened after the Subbu debacle nor did he know about her marriage. That is very telling.
Btw the guy who didn't know about her marriage or even her address, knows she fasts every Tuesday 🤪 come on CVs what logic is this!
While I loved Raman making it clear that he doesn't like Mani interfering in his married and family life, I think for closure it should be Ishita to put Mani in his place. I hope to see this day coming. Mani doesn't care two hoots two boots about Raman's opinion, he has already judged him as the monster. Friendship has its limits. Since Mani is Ishita's friend, it's up to her to remind him of his boundaries and make it crystal clear that she doesn't like him interfering in her life, she wouldn't take it. Bas. It will show she values her marriage and husband. In real life if one of the spouse shows too much tolerance over his/her friend interfering in the married life then the marriage is bound to take a turn to the sour fast.
The only thing I liked about the Ishita and Ruhi scene was the time when the little child voiced her fear of her life going back to the way it was before the arrival of Ishima - her grandmother being sad and crying, and her father being angered and distancing himself from her. It was touching. Rest of the talk was too mature and lengthy for a girl of that age.
Otherwise the context in which it happened put me off. Ishita being a grown up and a doctor no less being immature and childish refusing to eat in such condition for the sake of traditions is hard to digest.
(Btw if Ishita shouldn't be fasting because of her TB problem, why was it not an issue before? She kept fast before too and her hyper, overreacting mother didnt have any objections! She always remained cool as a cucumber. Amnesia again CVs?)
On side note -
Why mihika needs to hide it from Mihir that the phone was from Ashok? She already shared with him Ashok's bad intentions towards her. Why did she prefer to let the doubt of her not being mindful enough to his gesture of love, his importance be placed in his mind instead of telling him the truth?!
The Khannas brothers were hilarious in their night wear.
KP is one of the few or maybe the only Indian male actor who can cry on screen without making me cringe. Raman's breakdown was well enacted. Kudos to him 👏
