Today's episode just broke my heart. It was an emotional maelstrom ! A mother on the verge of losing her child. Another one willing to trade her child for revenge, because she feels slighted by her ex-husband and his current wife. A father who due to his colossal error is on the verge of losing not only his child but his strength n support !
Today we saw a hysterical, heartbroken mother overtaking the wife. We saw a grief-stricken / guilt ridden man who by his one blunder, distanced not only his own child, but the woman who he considers his biggest strength.
Was Ishita right in lashing out at Raman ? I am not sure. Was her reaction OTT ? I am not sure about that too. It felt real very very real. I tried to put myself in her place and asked myself what my reaction would be in a similar situation, n frankly, I could not even imagine parting from my child. Just the thought of parting from her sent shivers of terror down my spine. So if someone tells me Ishita is wrong, I would want them to put themselves in her place. She lashed out at Raman the same way he did when he found Adi missing. Ishita is not thinking clearly just now. She is feeling lost and abandoned by the man who gave her, her biggest gift ! Her daughter !
I feel for Raman. He needs support too, and the person who is his biggest support has turned away from him. He is feeling lost and once again at a point where he does not know what is in store for him with regards to the woman he loves so much.
The flashbacks, showing Ishita and Ruhi were so beautiful ! And it was heartbreaking to see Ishita begging Shagun to let her be with her daughter ! The triumph on Shagun's face !
Ishita's refusal to accept that Ruhi will be leaving them was absolutely realistic ! That denial mode !
In reality, a lot of marriages crumble, when something happens to a child. A lot of parents are unable to deal with this loss ?
Will IshRa overcome this turmoil, and emerge stronger than before ? We will have to wait and watch. But it is going to be a heartbreaking, gut wrenching journey, not only for IshRa but for us too. Break out the boxes of Kleenex guys, we will need them in abundance !
Once more a standing ovation to DT, KP and the rest of the cast ! What an episode !
