Two cents on Raman , will keep it short or we may extrapolate everything and then it becomes bigger than fiction .
The character sketch had all these tendencies - anger, impulse, obsession, loyalty , control and many others. Problem is it's a story, show and a visual medium. After some point you need to resolve or show some progression for these traits. With Raman they play conflicts on those traits for drama but rather than resolving it with some introspection , they keep the lip and cover it up with some "good scene" , that gives the makers a chance to keep revisiting the trait again and again and we buy it all for that "good scene" and justify his actions by relating it to the trait ..completely missing out the character progression and it's linear flow with the story. Now because it largely involves Shagun and surrogancy , the whole trait pinches more but then when we recall how that particular trait has messed his actions, you realize that he hasn't learnt anything.
At this stage , I wonder did they got his love for Ishita right? Because the traits they play are the main ones that always hurt her. So, the man has not tried adjusting to her at all? Being understanding to her nature, perception and her core essence?
Presuming his behaviour for someone else carrying the child is a hit and miss. what If, that woman be living alone? He would always worry, try to keep a watch? Might even spend more time trying to understand her and to make suggestion, cater to her needs etc? Approach might be different but his obsession would be the same. With Shagun , it pinches us , hence they used the track. But he really always had this strong emotion for her and tbh I don't begrudge him, she is the mother of his two children , they had this intense equation , her brother is his bhai now, so somewhere for him , he takes in to the familiarity . I doubt he keeps a check on the sins of this lady because even with Romi he always used to brush them aside.
But the real scary question be, if ever Shagun had a realization of her sins in the past say like Romi would Raman be more forgiving towards her and what sort of equation he would have had with her? I am very curious about his perception of Ishita - the woman, wife and most importantly the love- how is that emotion distinct.
Don't know what I rambled, but this discussion was interesting. Sorry for interrupting.
