NONE OF THE BHALLAS LOOKED PLEASED. Raman looked UNCOMFORTABLE..but that's about it...NO protest whatsoever. NO "Its okay Ishita...ADI hum sab ke saath hai naa..." OR "Main Shagun ke saath photo nai khichwa sakta"
I CRINGED WHEN SHE SAID, "Mujhe ADI ki ek photo chahiye...Uske Mamma aur Papa ke saath" Is she his nanny?? DISGUSTING😡
All the hopes I'd pinned on MIHIR turning out to be the more sensible one, were dashed at ONE GO. The minute ASHOK left the bimbo's side, Mihir went up to her, grabbed her by the shoulders M&B style, and questioned her "Kya tum khush ho???" How does it matter? Your fiance is a nutcase and riding high on a sacrificial horse right now.."Kya chaar saalon mein tumne jo bhi kaha, jo bhi kiya, woh sab jhooth tha?" AIYYO!! CRINGE, CRINGE!
ASHOK went up to Shagun and said, "Madam, Namaste Ji"🤣
He then went up to Ishita and uttered some more nonsense about Mihika. Raman ran up to him and grabbed him by the collar and muttered something in his wifey's defense...
"Ab main teri family picture ka hissa hun...teri Biwi ki behen ka pati hun"
"Ek BIWI kam padi thi, toh doosre ko bhi le aaya" KUDOS TO ASHOK FOR BLURTING OUT THE TRUTH LIKE IT IS.
"Whenever Shagun is around, Raman LOSES his mind." ASHOK tells Ishita.
Shagun came in IshRa's defense, and declared "Tum aisa bhi soch bhi kaise sakte ho? Jis Aurat na mujhe apne ghar mein jagah di, main USKE ghar mein aag lagaaungi?" WOW, AM IMPRESSED! What an ACT!
And then followed the 5 min LECTURE on marriage, wives and ex-wives...
I am absolutely sure the CVs are reading EACH and EVERY post on the forum...coz in her defense, Mrs. Ishita Bhalla very unconvincingly tried to explain that she had full faith in Raman, that husbands like him are rare, that with a loyal husband like him around, thre's no reason to be insecure...and that she's no Daya ki Devi..that it doesnt matter that people keep talking about wife and ex-wife living under the same roof...
"Shagun unki zindagi mein tab bhi important thi ...aur aaj bhi hai...tab woh Raman ki wife thi..aaj woh Raman ke bete ki Maa hai" PUKE, PUKE, PUKE
Vandu STILL followed Mihika around, and locked her up in the bathroom, to make her SPEAK OUT. Throttle me, CVs, before coming up with MORE ludicrous plots to justify utter nonsense!!
Mihika belched out MORE nonsense in her defense..."mere paas aur koi choice nai tha" "main phas gayi" "Di ki zindagi ka sawaal tha" "RUHI ki custody ka bhi sawaal tha" "I had no choice"
But the MOST appalling bit? "ASHOK ne mujhe blackmail kiya...kaha ki Mihir ko faansi ki sazaa dilwayega agar maine shaadi nai ki toh"
People get HANGED just FOR PHYSICAL ASSAULT resulting in pretend-coma of the patient?? But they dont for nearly raping a woman??
More puke-worthy bit from Vandu's end, "Tune itna bada tyaag kiya"
Raman wanted to have a ball of a time...LITERALLY...with his CURRENT wife..but Daya ki Devi wasnt happy with just that...she went and called Shaggy-Adi to the dance floor...next, there was the swapping of dance partners...her eyes kept darting off to Shagun and she went OFF to ADI and Shagun ended up with Raman for the DANCE. THIS IS TOO MUCH. BLODY NONSENSE.
"Raman Shagun ke saath dance kyun kar raha hai?" VANDU -facepalm moment. Us unfortunate viewers- sickle-in-the-hand-moment...
ALL Toshi ji had to say to this crap?? (Sigh)..."Ishita ka bahut vadda dil hai?" BAS. That's it. That's ALL she said. NO protest..no warning bells ringing in Ishita's ears..
It didnt end there...Ishita arranged for a stupid after-party for ShaRam's Wedding Anniversary...A huge cake was brought in. Ishita MADE Raman cut the damn cake with Shagun...and then handed him over the "khaandaani zewar" to go gift it back to Shagun. She behaves like an EFFING BOSS in Bhalla House. TIRES ME. TORTURES ME.
"Hamara rishta in sab cheezon se kahin upar hai Raman...yeh mere liye sirf earrings hai...ADI ke liye yeh TUMHARA PYAAR hai Raman"
Your husband lovingly gifts you "khandaani zewar" and they're just "a pair of earrings for you"?? Like, with ZERO emotional value???
Raman looked somewhere outside the damn window and handed Shaggy the earrings. But that doesnt change the fact that he absolutely NO LINES TODAY...NOTHING to say...ZILCH to protest about...
