Physical intimacy between a couple is the ultimate step in a relationship. More importantly in one where the whole premise of the marriage started as a compromise to keep a child's custody. But to bare yourself physically you need to bare your soul first.

In the last few weeks Raman and Ishita have had a lot of progress in their understanding of each other. They have started showing their feelings for each other. For a couple who had not yet shared a bed, to take their relationship to the next level...they needed to open up more, communication wise.

Raman is the experienced one when it comes to physical intimacy and he took advice from another married guy..so for him reaching out for a packet of condom was the next step.😆 But when he entered the room and saw Ishita's hesitation and predicament...he understood her. This is all new territory for her...and it needs time to develop their comfort level and for her to feel comfortable enough for the next step. So he decides to wait and show her his love in other ways first.

I loved gandhari the way cvs have dealt with this..thy dont knw each otjer and i would nt have liked if one fine day thy would rushed up things...

Its going at a good phase...

Raman just melted my heart today. He's a unique man...truly attuned to his wife in all aspects. Respecting a woman's boundary takes a gentleman and requires a strength in character. The guy, who in his inebriated state wanted to claim his marital rights, to 'own his wife' is ready to wait till she's ready. If this is not redemption, then what is?What a guy!

The change in rkb has been shown in a brilliant way and i thnak sonali mam for tht..she said she loves the character of RKB as lot..as KARAN PATEL is jst beyond words...

This is why I love YHM...the whole episode was lighthearted moments about a guy's dilemma with a packet of condom...but this last scene just dealt with the inner working of the man that he is.

Agree with ur last line Gandhari...👏

Gan, the juxtaposition beautifully captured today! You're so good at this. That collage, those pictures, speak a thousand words.

Disclaimer: Somehow my post has turned mature today...please excuse it.

A mature quote, but I think it fits the situation today:

""It's easy to take off your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes, dreams... that is being naked."

THIS is what IshRa need...as you said, to really bare their souls to each other. To talk, about their feelings, their fears, their hopes...to really stand naked and vulnerable before each other and gain a mutual understanding. The only way to do that, is conversation.

These sweet moments and endearing gestures we've seen over the past week or so are great, but until these two talk (I know, I'm beginning to sound like a broken record), they're not going to get anywhere. You simply can't move forward in a relationship without a good intimate conversation.

Second mature quote of the day: "There's nothing more erotic than a good conversation." Truer words have never been spoken. Seriously. IshRa need to get on board. It's going to be a while though...such intimacy takes time. It can't be rushed. These two, need time.

I for one am still having a hard time with the overdose of sweetness between these two lately. I just can't connect. I think I need to go back and watch all IshRa scenes from post 28/10 to today. It's sad not being able to gush over how adorable they are.

Anyway, watching and waiting for that much needed conversation. I won't hold my breath.

Thanks, Gan! 🤗

Lovely pics and writeup with an equally superb quote Gan !

Aww.. Raman Puttar was at his best.. throwing the condoms on the floor for her to see was the best 🤣 And his disappointment 😉 at her not getting his condom hint was even better 😆

But, Raman is 😳 The ILU talk to her was perfect although the shot seemed a bit abrupt. Felt there was a lack in continuity.. Anyway, SR abhi bohat bohat door hai 😉😆

Wonderfully done!!!

And this is how an episode must be enjoyed. To me it was a well crafted scene. Raman went from helplessness to awareness - absolutely true to his character. Every time there is a major turning point in his life with respect to his new wife he goes from helplessness to awareness. Helplessness because he is inside a insecure husband and final awareness since he is at the end of the day an intelligent caring man. 👏

This scene belonged to. Raman just like The scene in the car while dropping off Toshi to airport where ishita becomes aware of her love for raman when she rubs her cheek on to his resting head. Ishita moved from awareness to helplessness. Because that is how she is true to her character. She is a more aware person because she observes and deeply watches everything around her, so that is her initial instinct but then when husband comes in the picture, she becomes helpless because inside she is still that insecure rejected love soul.

What a journey we are watching

And your caps and quotes enhance that every time

Hugs and love

Hi wish i knew ur name so will go with G as usual superb captions. So I m a woman myself and i keep wondering most ss and os on this forum are talking about Raman taking first step. Why not Ishita? Why does the man have to be make the first move. ( bala said as much in his advice piece to Raman? ) . She did do the dance so why not romancing. She knows Raman is hurt but does like her. Maybe he is insecured and fears rejection. Can u or lady called Doc write something on these lines Would love to read that. Please a humble req from ur fan.

Keep these coming.👏

I mean maybe he can buy her some pretty lingerie..like a sexy nightgown

Saw the episode this morning so just catching up with all the posts.

Loved the way you wrote this post Ganu ⭐️.

For him it was something he had experienced before but for her it was all new. Uncharted territory and this in a way makes it uncharted territory for Raman too. Am looking forward to his next course of action.

I really hope the CV's take it slow & easy to give us loads of romantic sequences 😳
