wow!! This is such a spot on analysis of Raman Bhalla...the conflict between Ishita's Raman and Shagun's Raman...I loved how you highlighted his similarity with a Shakespearean hero...

Loved every bit but this line just stole my heart :

"Today his eyes full of passion and disgust kept on following Ishita's every move, if his eyes could love, then Ishita would be enamored by love and if his eyes could kill then Ishita would have dies a thousand deaths today."
That was just the perfect description of Raman in the party

And that song is perfect! ...loved your translation.

great job👏


Raman Bhalla is also my favorite character in YHM because of two reasons: the layered character sketch and KP's portrayal of him. The Ugly duckling of nerdy RKB transformed himself to almost a swan, the alpha male RKB...but unlike the perfect molting to rebuild a better version, he just wears a smoother, tougher outer layer which hides the chink in his armor: his insecurity, his fear of rejection..his fear of being in the shoes of old Raman again.All his stern actions stem from this root cause.And this vulnerability is what makes RKB so endearing to me. If we peel that hard shell, what we see is a guy who would go any lengths for his loved ones.

And KP has the uncanny ability to project each of these aspects of RKB to perfection using his expressions, voice enunciation and body language...sometimes without the aid of any dialogues. He makes RKB an interesting character to watch.

Dont know whether I made sense...but like RKB says " Bhavna ko samjho "😉 😆😆😆

Thanks for this amazing post!

You are in the wrong business, Doc!! Going by your posts, you ought to be in some sort of writing/creativity business! I am almost sulking at the fact that you were not this active on forum during EHM days & we missed out on a lot of your writing that you would have shared otherwise!

I can imagine; my second year in Uni wasnt exactly all that pleasant either! 4th year was relatively easy like you said & I had more time on my hands to do all that bakwaas I did in the ATs towards the end lol! Good times!

I am not being kind- I am just being real & saying the truth! I haven't seen today's episode but will catch it after work tonight! But you were bang on with your analysis- Raman vs Raman- very true!

Hi doc

What can i say that i have not said before .. tonite in a passionate post .. u still manage to hit a soothing tone .. man ur wonderful .. its restive & a contemplative read ..

I liked that u mentioned .. he desperately wants to believe that Ishita can ever betray him .. the man who got up with the hangover & went to his room was the man .. who wanted to question what he saw .. even as he bravely looked into the mirror & said that this relation is about RUHI ... but what i particularly liked was when he said nothing else matters .. he couldnt face the mirror . he looked down .. cause it mattered .. her betrayal .. her not loving him .. but whats more >> HIM LOVING HER .. mattered .. it mattered a hell of a lot ..

To me this man came to that party .. & little by little the layer of love was being pulled out .. yes Raman is a complex character .. his FLAW makes him a complex character .. seldom have we seen a hero in Indian telly land whose insecurity transforms him ... his vulnerability transforms him ... even in designer duds .. or at the pinnacle of his success .. deep down in his core he is a nerd .. who doesnt think a beautiful woman .. can be attracted to him ..

He worshiped at Shagun's feet .. cause he couldnt believe he could be so lucky as to have a goddess in his life .. he a nerd

He shunned & ridiculed Ishita called her fat at every given opportunity .. cause this time he didn't want to worship at this goddesses feet .. that was his way of keeping her in a BOX .. & saving himself .. but by saying no repeatedly .. it dint make her any less of a Goddess .. & he did end up worshipping at her feet .. albeit secretly ... his only recourse is . he still had his veil intact .. & hence he dorns that ..

Theres a macabre poetry to his speech .. if Raman as a character has layers .. his speech at the party was those layers ..for me the Speech was in a way the writers way to introduce RAMAN KUMAR BHALLA TO US ..

TO me this was the mix of Nerd & ALPHA .. the first true glimpse of the mix ... a man who is lethal ... the man who with his words could kill as well as soothe ...

Bang on analysis of RKB. 😊
