Wonderful collage G- especially that shot of Raman and Adhi at the table, that was a beautiful moment. Raman's yearning for Adhi and his love was so honest and obvious- as redundant as it is I have to say it, way to go KP!
I came away from the episode a little sad and a little hopeful.
That focused shot on Shagun's foot as she stumbled into the Bhalla home- I of course flashed back to the day Ishu entered her marital home. The weird thing is that Raman and the rest of the Bhallas in general also had the same feeling of general dislike and unwelcome toward both women at their entrance and both women entered the Bhalla home because of RKB's children and his love for them; both entered as unwanted mothers for the kids.
Of course, now, almost a year later things have changed quite a lot... I am really really loving the way the CVs keep tying things back to the beginning of YHM & ISHRA these days!
Things that made me happy about this episode (because I really need a reminder..😕):
- The Bhalla family conversation about ISHRA before their entrance
- The fact that after the initial moment by the trash Ishu/Adhi/Simmi mainly handled Shagun and
not Raman
- Raman voicing his appreciation and concern for Ishu repeatedly
- Raman's chocolate shake moment with Adhii which reminded me specifically of a similar moment with Ishu and Ruhi @ Raman's office during the 'girl child' fiasco; one thing Ru & Adhi have in common!😃
-Adhi overhearing the conversation between Toshi and Raman, because he can't doubt the truth of Raman's love for him or for Ishu when they don't know he was there (hopefully)... but he also overheard Ashk's convo with Suraj about his true intentions for Shagun and did nothing with that...
-ISHRA slap-a-thon!🥳
Overall there were two main things that bothered me. Firstly, the fact that the Ishu the nurse scene ( is a similar scene with ISHRA too much to hope for?😉) was blissfully short. Though why was she wearing Ishu's clothes? That bothered me as much as the fact that Shagun was in their room...I hope Ishu burns them tomorrow!
Secondly, Toshi's response to Raman's concern for Ishu, I completely understand where she is coming from but it seems like though Raman is finally prioritizing a little differently, Toshi is still not there. We all talk about Raman's love for Adhi but it has been clear from the beginning that Toshi also holds Adhi very highly (many reasons: first grandchild, only grandson, the grandchild she first helped raise, and we all know grandson/grandmother bonds...) and I have a feeling this might come into play into whatever comes next.
As I wrote this I thought of Toshi's words during Raman's goodbye to the family last week when Simmi says Ishu will fight because Raman didn't wait for her , I believe Toshi said I 'let her, it's been a while since we fought'... am i thinking too much? Who am I kidding of course I am! This is the level of my obsession... C'est la vie! 😆
Basically what I want to say here is that maybe Shagun's biggest ally in using Adhi against ISHRA won't be Raman's love for him but Toshi's. Because Raman loves Adhi but he also loves Ishu now (a factor that wasn't in play the last times Shagun tried the same kind of tricks) and I feel like if Raman was that guilt ridden then, he will certainly now be a stronger man, father and partner.
But can he really stand up to his mother's plea for her grandson? Can Ishu?😕 Just a thought.
Wish time:
As Raman rightly pointed out, Shagun already got a taste of lecture queen Ishu, will she get a sample of JKR as well? I don't believe Shagun has ever met JKR... though she has met Jr. JKR during the picnic- and she couldn't even handle that!🤣
Three reasons to look forward to tomorrow in order of likelihood of occurrence: Ruhi's reaction, cute ISHRA/ ISHRARU moments and seeing the couch being burned along with Shagun's borrowed clothes.
Ok, I am going to distract myself with a happy sappy ISHRA FF now...😊
