- The grand-son of the house calls the bahu of the house, a neighbor...with the bhallas and Raman present(edit: Autumn pointed out he walked in after the fact.. For me it looked like he heard it) ...looks like something bit their tongue. Raman, who had defended his wife so many times in front of others even when he was NOT in love with her, as 'Biwi ho tum mere" can't object to his son calling his wife an outsider? Parenting is not mollycoddling a kid, but also showing him the right path. So no wonder the child has such a God complex...as he gets WHATEVER he wants...not only from his Mom but also from the otherwise wise family of his father's side.This is fundamentally wrong!
- We live in this millennium and the story takes place in New Delhi, India where marriage is monogamous...so "Chhoti Ma" is so fundamentally wrong...and NO ONE in the Bhalla house felt the need to rectify that. and mind you Shagun said this..not their GKC. So why did they keep quiet this time? If Ishita was wrong in celebrating anniversary of Adi's divorced parents and Raman told her that it was mistake to give Adi the false hope. So what happened now. Completely defies Logic.
- A 12 year old hatching plan to lock his Step-mom in a room so that his mother can do Pooja with his dad because " that's how he always did" ..ummm. You MORON your parents have been freaking separated for past 6 years and you called Ashok as your Dad...when did your Mom do that? Is he 12 yr old or a toddler..delusion and conniving tween don't go hand in hand..CVs make up your mind what you want Adi to be. Again completely illogical
- And Precap? Honestly?! Raman Bhalla can't tell his son that the Puja is done by a couple and he and Shagun are NOT. I get he's majboor baap...but what about your wife's dignity? how can you trample that in front of the whole world and in presence of her family? Again Fundamentally wrong..
What are the CVs trying to achieve? Shagun and Adi's presence in the Bhalla house and Ishita's breakpoint so that Kaali ma avatar emerges. But at what cost? the USP of the story is the love story and not kitchen politics. So is this the only way that could have been achieved by butchering RKB from an iconic character to a mute dikra who just says sorry in his mind...and doesn't have the back bone to stand up to his 12 year old's unrealistic demands?!?
Raman's vision of love is fundamentally wrong. I dont blame him...I blame the creatives for failing their hero.
Sorry I was not planning to rant...but unlike Ishita...As a woman I felt we need to protest this line of thinking at this day and time.
