I don't want to be sounding like a complain box, making topics only when I am not happy with something on the show. But to be fair to myself, I duly appreciate the excellence in the tracks too. For now I'll just like to talk about the two most important pillars of the show. Raman and Ishita. And their Mohabbatein, which shows up in bits and pieces.
A few questions from my side going out to the creatives and writers of a production house that has created the most romantic couples on TV and given romantic moments in abundance and continue to do so on the rest of the shows on air.
Ishita and Raman's relation has been exceptional, with a gradual development shown in their emotional bonding, trust and dependency on each other. But although said to be a show based on mature story lines, I fail to understand why the romance doesn't naturally develop and get showcased. They consummated after a year and a half of their marriage and now when they have instead of showing their intimacy or physical comfort increase we jump straight back to family drama and their usual bickering. I don't ask for that aspect of their relation to change. But let's not make them behave like the intimacy (the biggest step in their relation) never happened.
These characters and their relation is the soul of the show. The show is named Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and their every romantic track has gotten great numbers for the show. Even the consummation which according to writers would lower them, only rose the trp. I don't understand why the writers get so picky in giving us romantic scenes or tracks solely on the couple. Why is that we get side hugs or comforting moments cross-wired somewhere in between Raman and Ishita helping their family.
We get that Ishita is the best mother, sister, daughter in law etc. And that Raman is the best brother, son and so on. But can we just give them two a break and have something related to just the two. I don't think I am interested in watching a vamp turned angel's love story on the show. Who cares where Shagun lands up? I don't. And sure as hell most of the audience is done with her. The actress is talented and beautiful enough to bag other shows where she can play a positive character to her hearts content.
YES we love the entire star cast and would love to see more of them instead of seeing Shagun. But more than seeing any more family drama or multiple tracks, we'd love to see at least one of them concentrate ONLY on IshRa, or at least majorly on them.
Please creatives BE REAL. In this day and age people like IshRa who get a second chance at love and marriage cannot stay away from each other and not romance at all. All your shows (won't name them to avoid bashing) show romance between pairs who haven't confessed, or are separated too. But IshRa are together, happy and claim to love each other and we get nothing but long gaps between two romantic moments
P.S - Please take this as honest feedback and not bashing. And this post is ONLY about the characters Raman and Ishita. Kindly do not bring the off screen drama on this thread 😊
