Hey Tani nice post. U hve nicely analyzed trust issues and flaws on both Ishra parts. We all know that there r trust issues n lack of understanding between Ishra.
As far as characterizations go I feel Raman is more evolved or developed character over Ishita- I wud say its makers fault coz that is how they r portraying Ishita as. She at a point says Kahin mujhe unse pya n then goes onto say Raman has loved Shagun only, on one hand she says I like Ravan Kumar and also empathisizes with him when he says sorry for his anger she is like no need to b sorry n on another she says u always taunt me abuse me, on one hand she says Raman has bada dil n cares for everyone on another she says Raman has never cared for me in her outburst. It looks like the character is confused. 😕
I m not justifying Raman's acts obviously he is hiding his true self in front of her, he wrongly abuses her all the time. The current Raman who is trying to b a good husband over being Ishita's husband. He is googling stuff from internet to make her happy but doesnt know what will make her happy. He needs to ask her not google for that.
Ishita says she likes to make Raman jealous so that one day in his jealousy he will confess. Even if he confesses wont it be superficial or time being ? Raman might confess now coz f jealousy n then some years down the line might think he was not truly in lve with her then what?
Overall so far what Raman does wrong is constantly abuse his wife n Adi fixation apart from these two there r no vices per say. We all know Raman is wrong no arguments on that. But Ishita's character is butchered by Cvs when they show her getting her own rapist home, getting Shagun home without consulting Bhalla family, blindly trusting a stranger (sanjana case, yes Raman was wrong in hiding but Ishita is a smart woman n shudnt have fallen for Sanjana's trap)while she did not believe Shagun during her marriage (she was smart to understand that Shagun is manipulating her) n constantly glorifying Mani on Ramans face when she knows that it might turn for worse coz Raman has suffered at another womans hands n might doubt her.
This current track (Mani track)shows Raman as all wrong n Ishita as all right, this is the biggest problem for existing viewers I m nit saying Raman is always right n Ishita always wrong, but somewhere Cvs have butchered Ishita's character to justify their drama which is unacceptable to me as a viewer.
Ps : Romi track I find both Ishra as sensible, Raman is practical n Ishita emotional. But for sake of drama Cvs might show Ishita as stupid who thinks Romi is culprit n Sarika bichari n will fight against her own family to give Sarika justice. In the end it will b revealed that Romi was the victim here, it looks so from the on loc videos. But in all this mess Ishita will again come across as stupid na even if her intention was right? So my issue is y r the Cvs destroying a smart n sensible Ishita to create drama?
