Tunnel vision, activated.

i heard today the cvs screwed up royally.
And I'm not justifying the characters. I'm actually posting in an attempt to cheer up new friends I've made her. It is a futile attempt. I've been busy today, but I heard the uproar over what the cvs did to our beloved characters.

I'm miss silver lining, and I'm asking you all to activate tunnel vision. We shouldn't waste energy over being upset. So here is a quick post. Ignore what the cvs did and let's focus on the characters we know better than the makers themselves 😊

Feel free to throw chappals at me if my futile attempt royally backfires. Let's just say I pulled a cv high on something move haha. Plus, chappals won't hurt over the medium of Internet šŸ˜†

So here goes:


It's like Raman is terrified of asking Ishita to come back to him.
Because, what if she doesn't.
The dream he had today was of her asking for them to be together. Of her apologising.
He wants her to make the first move.
These past few we weeks he asks her to stay away, but gets involved where ever she is near. He argues with her. She doesn't with him.

First, I thought, like a lot of us did, he's trying to get a reaction out of her. Then I thought, he just wants her to feel his pain. Burn in the same hell.

Be together in their agony.

And I think he did. But somewhere deep down, I think he's been waiting for her to come back to him, and that's what we saw come to the fore.

Yesterday he sent her away. What if he saw her, and couldn't go through with the wedding? And then how the hell would they get through explaining the mess that is their life to pihu? And what about the mani of it all. Not to mention shaguniya madam?

And this has perhaps been the struggle all along.


maybe asking Shagun to marry him, was genuinely a juvenile ploy to get Ishita to break and come to him. But he couldn't give this away. Couldn't break the impenetrable fortress because Ishita still might not take the bait and intervene. And then he'd be the fool who lost his love yet again.

And when news of mani and Ishita broke that's exactly what he thought. It didn't work. Or that instead of coming back to him, Ishita too was out to play the game. And before they spend that night together, Raman does make a jibe. Why decide to marry mani now Ishita, he asks.

Raman messed up not letting pihu know of her mother. And now he's stuck. But when it comes to crunch time, if Ishita had come to him, he wouldn't have gone through with it.

But yet again his insecurities get the better of him.
I don't think it's about Ishita being the one to bow down and say I was wrong. It's just about Ishita coming back to him. And damning mani and Shagun.

when it came to crunch time, I think if Raman saw Ishita come back to him, he'd say, screw the world, I want you.

But yet again, insecurities get the better of Raman, again.
After all, Ishita stayed away seven years.
And Raman still hasn't registered, in all his pain about the fact that Ishita left, that he, in self sabotage mode drove her away in the first place.

What you outlined is the loose way they wanted to show Raman not backing out from the marriage. Like most of the post leap track, they didn't make a strong enough case for his side. But I had the same thoughts you did when I was reading LU

Because who is anyone kidding? He was not going to be the one to leave the mandap on his own. Why? Him sitting through it creates more drama long-term. Now Shagun can blame just Ishita for "pulling" this card to grab Raman. Now Pihu can think Haarwali aunty broke up Shagun-Raman's marriage. Now IshRa themselves can superficially go back to Sirf Ruhi Ke Liye b/c it reinforces it for both of them.

For everyone cribbing - they will NEVER show Raman "deserving" of Ishita's love especially through his actions. They will be together eventually and she will forgive and forget all. Then Raman will do something else to piss people off. It's how shows run for years without making their bahu make an actual mistake on screen.

One silver lining - Raman left the mandap on Romi's words...no questions asked. The man who told Ishita not to do anything to sabatoge his wedding lept without thought.

Exactly. Without illogical mistakes the story from a practical point can't move on. It's an issue that the storytelling doesn't match the talent.

And it's a shame Raman is an Indian serial male lead.

But I am miss silver lining, and despite myself I love ishra.

And let's face it, Raman would be on the look out for any excuse to leave.
At the end of the day, one thing we know. He just wants Ishita.

It is a shame that Raman has been slowly reduced to a typical male lead and this leap finalized his residence in that grave. Raman as a character gave voice to the challenges faced by a modern family man and now all that is moot for many. However Ishita will forever continue to represent the oppressed but empowered woman.

I, too, wish there were an actual silver lining with Raman but we won't see him "changing for the better" until Ishita is in his life constantly as we'll see after Ruhi is recovered.

And yes - he just wants Ishita but didn't want to fight for someone who he thought moved on after he pushed her away. It's not like he was jumping for joy at the idea of marrying and bedding Shagun. So while it's annoying he didn't stop the wedding on his own...he wasn't going to...so it's easier to move on and find what was positive.

Krishy..you nailed it...šŸ‘
@bold was tjhe only reason to go through suddenly with tjhe 24hrs shaadi...nothing else. , raman is the axis around which yhm drama revolves. .from one drama to next.. he has to be the reason for it all..and the bahu hads to then solve them... next 2 dramas ready. .he was tjhe one who 'turned' shagun and made her hate ishita...and so pihu will hate her too..pihus expression when Raman left tjhe wedding and v ran was the start of another long messed up plot...
I will be super surprised if that is not the casešŸ˜†

No one is even asking wht mani and aliya have conveniently disappeared and suddenly there is no talkn of b pihu custody or ishita mani marriage. .the purpose for v those 2 things was also to show raman unduly angry and the female lead hurtšŸ˜•


And i am surprised ppl are cribbing that this is the worst they have seen in tjhe 7 30 slot..I ccan name at least a dozen epis or more which were way crappier...

Zoya..tunnel vision it is...for one I am looking forward to shagun negative. .. šŸ˜†

Zoya , you are amazing and I love how you extrapolate on this episode. I might not agree but it makes for a compelling read.
Here is why Ekta and GEC shows are screwed

http://www.caravanmagazine.in/reportage/lather-rinse-repeat-saas-bahu-saga

Very rarely , in my experience only one, catered to the urban audience especially the vocal sns .It's because it was a youth channel and not dependent on trps . GEC and Ekta have screwed tv .


Few points from the article.

It's always Good vs the Bad.

70% screen to FL. She has to be sacrificing lamp always. Docile and more. That sells.

Unnecessary drama to drag tracks, and start new tracks is a massive issue
That's why I normally watch a very select few Pakistani dramas. I'm watching 2 currently. The fact they are finite creates a more fluid story telling. It's just better. And um, the people on screen are less scary and don't sleep with heavy jerwlley etc unlike a lot of Indian serialsšŸ˜†

I truly hope the next track sees Raman and Ishita at least try and confront head on what they've done. And of course give us some major angst and intensity. And it not just being reduced to Shagun and pihu playing stupid games with her, with Ruhi adding fuel to the fire. But honestly, I'm prepared, and yes, tunnel vision is the answer.

That's why this doesn't bother me like it apparently bothers everyone else. They were never going to get married but Raman wasn't going to be what stopped it.

I can almost 100% promise you that there will be some illogical stupidity as to why they don't tell Pihu who her mother is. And it will 100% be put on Raman as to why.

Thanks to this - the list of people against Ishita is long - Nidhi, Shagun, Ruhi, & Pihu. 🤢

Raman sole role on this show is to be the axis for drama and romance scenes. He initiates most drama and since 7:30 - he initiates most romance that fans love. That's a male lead or they are wall flowers. Take your pick. šŸ˜†

I agree - no one cares about the custody case that was filed nor the lied wedding that set Raman off. I wanted Ishita giving it back to the people who went behind her back b/c at least Raman was brutal but in her face.

How pathetic that no one cares that someone actually filed for Pihu's custody which is what set him off after the jail scene or that Aliya told him Ishita-Mani are getting married which let him accept his marriage to Shagun.

These two were vital points in getting Raman to the mandap but they are brushed away like no big deal b/c it was emotional torture on the ML as opposed to the FL. Had it been Ishita on the receivingend of this, I'm sure the reaction would be different
