Mani and his judgements..

The CVs have really gone to town with this character of Mani. His actions sometimes seem forced and illogical. For someone who claims to be Ishita's best friend he has very little understanding of her feelings for her husband and his family. He seems to assume the worst of her husband and her family when he could clearly see that she is happy to be a part of Bhalla family and more than fine being wife of Raman who is not perfect yet values his family and puts every single relationship above himself. Being her friend he should have known that she is someone with strong family values and that is also the trait that she sees in Raman and adores him for who he is. I loved the fact that Ishita put him in place when he accused Raman's kids and his past being the reason for Ishita's troubles. Her response that she is married to him and is happy facing the ups and downs of his life with him by his side was perfect. On a different occasion, he even told Raman that he was upset that Ishita married him a divorcee of all people who had so much baggage from his previous marriage. Mani came to India from Turkey almost two months ago and yet he could n't see who Raman really is. He is a man of values and despite being a successful CEO he never lets that get to his head. He has always been the person who stands up for what is right and does not hesitate to call them out even if they are his family members. He is influential yet useful to others so that they may benefit from him. When I look at Mani, he is no doubt a man of success but is a braggart who boasts his achievement every opportunity he gets while him being so very judgemental is going to cost him Ishita's frienship. Ishita knows that Raman is a person of value who silently knows of his achievements and prospers others through them. It's high time that Mani realizes that as well.


What really irked me the most was Mani judging Raman's actions yet again when he was being the absolutely adorable supportive husband trying to calm his wife who was in a total shock after going through the worst nightmare of her life. He was so rattled by her disheveled state that he was beating the daylights out of the moron who tried to misbehave with her. Mani's monologue that he was glad that Raman did not get upset with Ishita was totally uncalled for. Has he not seen the interactions between Raman and Ishita? Is he living under a rock to not notice how they feel for each other when she publicly held her husband's hand and danced with him just so he doesn't feel embarassed in front of everyone when Adi ditched him. Why would he even say that? What is Ishita's fault in this whole situation that Raman would get mad at her? He really needs to get out of his illusion that she is living a dreadful life and stop passing judegments on each and every action of Raman. If he tries to belittle Raman one more time he really will face Ishita's wrath for sure. Raman is not a perfect husband, he has his own flaws but he is perfect for Ishita who has her own flaws. They both have a scarred past which they are trying hard to overcome and move on with their life where they value each other more than he can think of and gives credit for.

Really well written Priye...
Sorry I forgot I had "red'd" it. I was on Nik's thread this afternoon, trying to come up with risque Tamil lyrics for ISHRA scene before the party...,. Bscorp, is a Tamilian also... so her and I another gal were busy coming up with every "off beatr" tamil lyric possible. Check it out iof you get a few minutes😆


Back to your topic... REALLY well written... so true... Raman is stuff dreams are made of. Every time he has committed a mistake he has jumped up to own and acknowledge it. He is arrogant and opinionated yes, but there is nobody that loves and cares for their family quite like him.

The most impressive thing in the whole show for me, personally, Priye is HOW Raman has been crafted. He minds his own business. He tells it as it is. He is short tempered, he is passionate, he is straight forward, he is clever and has the greatest sense of humor.

Mani has no clue about him. Mani's character has been constructed in a hurried way and mostly haphazardly... with no deeper "meaning" of any sort. He is there when he is not supposed to be, he does things which a husband is entitled to do. He is full of unnecessary opinions. He is high handed and judgmental... its like everyone is blind to his flaws.. For a while I even started suspecting if they were strategically undermining Raman's character with some ulterior motive😲 It almost got that bad

I think ISHITA'S expression of love and attraction towards Raman has helped mitigate much of the uneasiness Ive had around Mani scenes. I was extremely frustrated Ishita is not being expressive
By nature she is NOT. She is unemotional, not very expressive, guarded and cautious. Throw Mani in the mix. It can break any relationship


Ishita has reinforced my faith in ISHRA in the last week or so... for Mani to be completely gone... I think Ishita has to do more... no not because I suspect her of not doing enough... but because if the message comes from any one else... it wont have the same impact on Mani

To get rid of him... the onus lies on Ishita

Since the CVs will keep him around for the long haul... she may never get rid of him

Thats my deepest fear😭

I was surprised by mani's reponse to ashok after the fighting scene, it was very clear that ashok was enjoying ishita getting harrassed that has been in the presence of mani then why can't he confront ashok on a serious note? just a warning is enough?? 😲😲 i didnt liked it😡

leave Raman yaar he din't even understand Ishita properly.
He simply assumed that Ishita will stay in a forced relation and recieve everything thrown at her.

He don't know Raman.It is not that good reason but still we assume what he called Raman is accepted.

Then what about Ishita he is her so called best friend.Then he believed that Ishita will stay in a forced and abusive relation silently and won't give back and bear smiling.
Then will Iyer's seriously will be silent if their daughter is in that troubles.Then participate in every function smiling.
Then will any women dare to meet her friend that frequently if her husband is such abusive.
His brain is completely out of order.

He is a kind of person who will spend whole day and money to identify common sugar chemically than simply tasting it,
Insane ,unhuman,blind and nothing but theorotical knowledge just byhearted a telephone directory.

Good post priya..honestly what can be expected of a guy who judged raman a day after meeting him...when ishu was in hospital. ..and that too nothing less than calling him a bad husband. ..really😲🥱
shani..has been a MISFiT..from day one and continues to be one..both from a script angle. ..and also that his role is limited to interfering in important IshRa scenes and passing judgements about Raman while literally stalking Ishita anywhere and everywhere.
Don't know what was the point of having him in the script in the first place. ..other than creating a nuisancical third angle...rather fourth angle...shagun is already the 3rd angle in the story...🥱

Yes his reaction in sat episode was weird..one ..he seemed to be shielding ishu from raman when Raman was beating upn that creep..I was like?😲...Really you think raman can harm ishu in his rage? Then I thought it was a editing flaw...but then he really voiced out the same thing when he said he thought raman would lose his temper on ishu🥱...no words for that line...

I might get killed for saying this...but then this should be a lesson to ishu on what interference and sharing private info with BFFs can do ...And like she took a stand in the jail scene..she might have to take a final..firm stand with shani...once and for all ...to keep his nose out if her personal life...whatever the intentions..good or bad. ..till then we should expect more judgements and lectures i guess...

Nikki - Thank you yaar. Ever since I watched the episode Mani's monologue was bothering me way too much that I had to make this post to vent out my frustration 😆 I think the episode as a whole was fantastic with power packed performance by both DT and KP except Mani of course. His presence annoys me to the nth degree simply because it does not add any value. I think they are confused about not knowing where he would fit in the current track and hence forcefully place him in situations where he does not have to be. Like for instance, it made all the sense in the world when Raman got to know from Mihika that Ishita is not at the hen party and came rushing to her and they could have left at that. What was the need for Mani to be there when he was asked to come late? To me it did not add any value other than him making a comment that he is not fooled easily. What a joke? He has been fooled more than once and case in point here is him deciding to work with a sleaze bag like Ashok in the first place regardless of whether he signs the contract or not.
