Aww I missed this Anu calm voiced analysis so much...
Yes you have raised some very valid points...and it's hard for us Ishra fans but the fact of the matter is until Raman doesn't completely bury his ghost with Shagun as his ex , this kind of things are going to happen...we want her to be just the biological mother of his two kids but somehow their history keeps on coming back...not from anyone else but from Raman. And with this track that whole line is getting muddled without him fully realizing or him not wanting to look that way to keep his conscience clean.
And what bothers me the most is in his obsession to get a child for Ishita, he is risking his relationship with her and without that relationship what is the point of having a child? And my question is HOW in the world gifting a child borne out of Shagun or for that matter anyone else's womb would make Ishita forget that she can't ever bear a child on her own? Wasn't that the only reason Raman wanted to have a child with Ishita? How did all of those completely become secondary?
Surrogacy is a wonderful option for a lot of couple, but here in Ishra's case it was absolutely unnecessary. It's forced for a different purpose and for that they compromised everything..including the premise of the show. And that hurts me as an audience. And the blatant disregard for Ishita's wishes or her opinion, insults the woman in me. the mother of a daughter that I'm. And if people think this is about feminism, I would say...no it's rather about a woman's right over her own body about her consent about procreation...you can't violate that just because this is a fiction. Fiction needs to have some boundaries too.
I missed this too!🤗
@Blue: And you got it in one. This was supposed to be Ishita's biggest track not ISHRA's. This was supposed to be about Ishita ad her struggle , both with infertility and the big decisions and processes but also about the idea of a womb and motherhood as being the definition of a 'complete/real woman' .
They could have gone many different directions with is: her reconciling herself with the desire of wanting to try for a child and what that means in terms of all her previous discussions about RUDHI being enough, about not needing to bear a child to feel complete, about dealing with the struggles and practicalities of IVF/Surrogacy etc etc. There was so much scope on this track. And in the end, they made it about Raman. I can't get over that.
How did the track about infertility, become a track about Raman and a vehicle for SHARAM? I find that insulting and disrespectful. To an outside viewer, just coming in watching this it would certainly look like it's about Raman wanting another child and looking for another means because of his wife's fertility issues. And that's just wrong.
As for surrogacy and consent, i can't even begin to unravel that mess, but then we are talking about a show [and a woman, lest we forget ] who swapped children via a contract so really- maybe we expected too much. 🤢
@ Red: Exactly. I get you. Procreation and surrogacy aside, this is about a woman's rights over her own body and her right to choose what happens. They infringed Ishita's rights and now is using that theft to draft up some convoluted reminiscent romance for SHARAM? The level of moral depravity in this kind of thinking bears no comprehension. If you want to make SHARAM happen, fine- but don't steal Ishita's womb , or lack of it, to make them happen.
Having seen so many friends deal with fertility issues and read up on so many cases on this i just cannot wrap my head around on one level on which this makes any sense. Raman committed a crime, a legal and moral crime against his own wife and he disrespected her basic right as a woman. And this is the man I am supposed to cheer for? This is your hero? 🤢
