Mrs Bhalla definitely has an old school of thought. For her what the society says matters a lot. Her thoughts about a Ghar ka chiraag etc are regressive and are on the peak now. And like everything wrong that's been challenged on the show, this will as well.Raman is agreeing to her in the Sarika issue but not because of the same reason as hers. I guess as the man of the house he just wants Romi to settle now, his mom to calm down and his son back because Shagun's dangerous and he's had it with her. But in this WHOLE mess Raman's stand may lead Ishita to feel insecure. ( I HOPE IT DOES. Because it'll make for an interesting track)And as you pointed out, that letter Ishita tore so confidently, was not and cannot be the end of the matter.
