Sorry for not replying to this last night Kri, just saw this today 😳
I guess Raman wants Ishita to forgive Subbu because he did it when she asked it of him and knows that while paying heed to that advice is not easy once its done, you feel better, lighter, more peaceful than before because you have given that chapter, that part of your life a rest permanently and have exorcised those demons that continue to haunt you...he could move on in life when he listened to that advice, while Raman' moving on meant he could open his heart up to love once again; the same thing for Ishita would mean she would be able to get over the rejection of her past and make peace with the aspect of herself which she thinks makes her inadequate, though Ishita has been called 'baanj' by many I suppose over the time since the truth got out but the one person who' words hurt and haunted her the most were that of Subbu'. The rejection hurt her but worse was the way she was rejected by the man she loved as if her identity was only important if she could make a baby - if she lets go of the anger and pain, she can also get over that hurt and pain - the one thing that continues to haunt her despite her becoming Ruhi & Adi' Ishimaa now...Raman wants Ishita to experience the same peace IMO.
As for Priya' hint honestly I am not able to decipher it and @bold - are you implying to a convo we had months back when I think we mentioned the possibility that Ishita may not be a virgin? Well if that happens I for one would be a happy viewer, I know I am inviting brickbats here perhaps people will hate me but really they were in a relationship for 12 years I doubt all they did was made gooey eyes at each other and held hands at the most. Honestly it would be refreshing to see something like this - why is virginity important in case of a woman but not a man? Ishita married a divorcee who is also a father of two, so if he isnt exactly bringing err - fresh and untouched - to the table why expect the same of her? As for the slot Kri, well worse things have been shown in the slot and really a decade back at 8.30 Prerna of KZK had premarital sex and also a baby out of wedlock, I think the viewers after a decade can handle if Ishita at 7.30 declares someday to her husband that I am not a virgin Raman.
@bold - even Kumud in Kkusum had premarital sex which resulted in a child. In this show currently, we have a side character who, when she shows up, is pregnant. While the status of her being married or not has been tossed in the air, Sarika is, for all intents & purposes, a single mother. We even saw Mihir & Mihika start to approach the next stage of their relationship as a couple prior to marriage. So premarital sex is not a totally foreign concept to desi TV, prime time or not.
About Ishita being a virgin or not...I'm really intrigued by the entire concept. At times she is show as hesitant or shy to Raman's advances, while on Holi & the night before the child swap court hearing, she appeared to be a very willing participant. I want to believe the makers had something in mind but thanks to TRP pressure...the message has been diluted.
You also talked about Raman encouraging Ishita to forgive Subbu. We all know there is something more sinister afoot, but like you mentioned, Raman, of all people, understands the mukti one has when they fully come to terms with their dark past. No matter the public face you put on, carrying dark & deep scars like that does keep you from fully embracing the present.
In all of this, I love the fact Raman & Ishita know her infertility may not be so absolute. Ishita is coming to terms with the rejection she faced from Subbu & many subsequent suitors. While both their hurt is different, Raman & Ishita both faced rejection that centered around their core identity of what it means in our society to be a man/woman.
No matter what the CVs show...this depth to the story that we are able to ellict keeps the tale rich & multidimensional.
Lovely write ups as always, Aani! 😊
