Sorry for a tardy in my reply, first things first gurl you seem real angry at Ishita to a point that while reading this I was fearing for your keyboard and your blood pressure! 😆 just kidding! You have said a lot of things in the post some of which I agree and some I do not. Like Gan said in her post, it's all about perspective and that's the beauty of this show. There are no absolute rights or wrongs it's just a matter of perspective.
Your biggest gripe against Ishita seems to be that she lied to Raman, was it the right thing to do? NO, but is it fair to label that ONE lie and call her insensitive who isn't doing anything for marriage or that she doesn't care/love Raman?
I do not like comparing people in relationships because relationships aren't account books where things need to balance, but here I go nonetheless. Raman has lied to Ishita on multiple occasions during Adi-Amma case, is it not a husband's duty to come clean to his wife? Forget that this case was about Ishita's mom even if it had been about a random person, is it not Raman's duty to come clean to Ishita? Do you remember that scene where Raman is in despair about lying to Ishita and his family, Ishita goes down to the bench and tries to make Raman feel better, tells him not worry and that things will work out. He had the opportunity then but did he? In that situation I couldn't blame Raman nor could I blame Ishita, similarly here I can't blame the two. Yes no one should be lied to but it happens, and here she is lying because in her mind she is trying to help HER man, HER HUSBAND out so he doesn't lose that much coveted Asia business position. Also I think lying goes against her character but for some reason the CV's are hell bent on planting a seed of doubt in Raman's head and hence are making Ishita do things that she would never ever normally do, like lie or ignore Ruhi and be on the phone. She may ignore Raman but she would never ignore Ruhi. These are the creative liberties that the CVs are taking to plant that doubt in Raman's mind. Do I agree with this storyline? NO, but do I blame Ishita for not caring and loving her husband? No to that as well.
Ishita has done a lot for Raman apart from the palak paneer, she made that pasta for him just because he was staring at a picture, she dresses the way he likes, she accompanies him to every party that he is being celebrated in, being there as a supportive wife gleaming in pride of her husband's achievement, even though she will have to face Shagun and his past. She stays up when he comes late and eats with him, when he was upset, she called him and dropped by for impromptu lunch at his office explaining Subbu doesn't mean anything to him. All of this knowing that Raman may never love her, she still did this out of love for him. And I am not writing down what Raman has done for Ishita to save my fingers and save you from the length of this post, we all know he has done more than enough for Ishita and actually in yesterday's episode, Ishita said to Mani 'Raman has done a lot for me and I am not going to let anything happen to him or anyone tarnish his reputation'. All of us define Romance as different, Raman compliments her with his classic one liners, Ishita blushes and does something meaningful and says something endearing almost nonchalantly. Remember the incident when Raman opens the drawer of delicates and calls himself stupid, Remember what Ishita said, Don't' call my husband stupid' for me that is Romance!
The other point that comes across your post is that you are terribly upset with Ishita that she took that call knowing Raman has been hungry, from what I remember, 1) Raman tells her to take the call 2) Mani cuts her and tells her listen lady this is important and 3) more importantly she was so touched by his fasting that she didn't have words to describe her happiness and we saw that in the 1st 2-3 minutes of the episodes. Both their eyes did so much talking. I wanted to see Ishita care for Raman a little more yesterday but again creative liberties of the show. During the var lakshmi puja, she fasted stayed hungry all day for him, he comes back and they fight, and what does he say later, Itna toh Shagun ne bhi mere liye kabhi nahi kiya' Are you kidding me right now Raman, you are comparing your monster witch of an ex wife who left you high and dry to your present wife! Forget being thankful for her fasting this is what he thinks and that is followed by, madrasan ne mummy ko impress karne ke liye fast kiya', But I can't blame Raman or Ishita, they are humans and they err, none of us are perfect in our relationships otherwise how boring would our lives be!
And I completely agree Raman ka gussa bilkul gayaz hai, and Ishita is in the wrong here for ignoring her family but that in my eyes doesn't translate into her being callous and not loving Raman. She in her mind is doing this to save Raman from Ashok's yet another devious plan. She is trying to save HER man from yet another heart break. We can question the manner in which she might be doing things but we can't question her motive.
Chalo I took a study break in the morning to type this, now afternoon I have to hit the books hard! Hopefully Ishita redeems herself in your eyes soon! And like always feel free to let me know where you don't agree with my post, I will pakka reply.
Hoping for a great episode today!
