here is the review from me.. if you don't agree don't bash me..
I watched the epi..very painful.. it's official that Ishita is the punching bag for both Raman and Ruhi..
ok.. definitely the writing is pathetic.. and nothing can be done for that as these CVS are aiming for uneducated TRP aunties.. they can't have a decent writing.. instead of bringing in new ideas these CVS know how to take our countries to BC time frame..
I will try to give a different perspective.. if you don't agree don't throw chappal at me..
I want to look at 4 characters first - Raman, Ruhi, Adi and Shagun.. and their character traits and how they are playing out on the screen.
Raman:Very impulsive with a caustic tongue and a volatile temper but with a golden heart. He may be a savvy business man but when it comes to heart he is unclear to what he wants. can be manipulated very easily also i can say he has some innocense in him. His Mom chose Shagun for him and after that marriage failed his dad chose Ishita for him because of Ruhi.
Adi: A boy with a golden heart and lot of innocense and can be manupulated easily. with the right upbringing he became a sweet heart.
Shagun: she knows what she wants and how to get it and very manupulative and only interested in herself and nothing i mean nothing kids, husband or family or ethics or morals matter to her..heart of coal
Ruhi: same as her papa when it comes to heart and caustic tongues and a golden heart but very clear to what she wants and how to get it just like her biological mom.. when needed she can be manipulative too and she chose Ishita as her mom because that is what she wanted.
so now back into the story and todays Epi.. the one thing that stood out for me is Adi - his and Ishita is a true unconditional love hands down. He hardly stayed with her, but most of the time his encounters were he hated her and tried to harm her. but she as a true mother with so much love and care made him a child again who is going to enjoy the childhood instead of being manipulated.his love for her is unbelievable and he is truly Ishita's son where he stands for right and speaks up when needed.. today him stopping Ruhi hurting Ishita verbally is wonderful where whole family was in majboor mode to not to say anything to make her angry.. if they say something she is going to leave.. so much selfishness
Raman first him stopping Ruhi from humiliating Ishita publicly is good.. and later telling them from going to Pihu school.. then his quota of dialogs done and he clammed up.. so Ruhi hurling all those at Ishita he had nothing to say.. again in majboor mode Ruhi ke liye and let Ishita take the punches..
Shagun - don't want to say anything but she definitely rubbed it in Ishita's face with Pihu incident.. Of course Ishita need to ask Shagun for permission as she is the Asli ma.. but for blame look for Ishita.. I am wondering who will give home phone to emergency in this day and age.. both Raman and Shagun turned out to be irresponsible in this matter..
Ruhi crying in the room showed her inner turmoil.. which was good.. again she wants to stay and she wants to leave as she hates her parents.
Ruhi she crossed all the decency and all the Limits. the way she said "tum, aurat, Ishita" speaks volumes of her hatred towards her mother. but i still think that she is in so much pain and she is lashing out on her mother.. nobody else but her mother.. she wants her mother to hear her..
but, what is stopping Ruhi to tell Ishita to leave the house.. she knows her parents are playing a house to lure her back.. we know that she doesn't love Nidhi and I don't think Ruhi wants to stay with Nidhi or go back to her.. but what is she trying to do..
i am beginning to believe Ruhi's scars are much, much deeper. she is scared and she is confused.. and I think she hates her parents for her condition, her mother more than her papa. because she believed in deepest part of her heart that Ishita will never harm her and never break her promises.she never once believed that she is shagun's daughter.. remember the girl child fiasco where she cries why didn't i born from your tummy.. that much she hated shagun.. and also remember Ishita's response - that since she can not have babies in her tummy god send Ruhi to Ishita thru shagun and for Ruhi Ishita is her mother..
then comes the first exchange - how much Ruhi got hurt and she hated Ishita.. and during that time she didn't care for Ishita's tears.. this is the girl who can't see tears in her mother's eyes didn't hesitate to make her mother cry.. because her pain of not living with her mother is greater than any thing..
then comes the second exchange - (i missed these epis) but Sarika told her merely a 7 year old child that her mother cares for her own child and not for Ruhi and going to exchange her.. did she believe? no. then she heard her parents conversation - fully or half doesn't matter.. it was clear for her that her parents are going to exchange her for her sister.. still she is not sure.. doubtful may be.. but then it actually happened.. imagine the shock of a 7 year old abandoned by her, mother exchanged for her sister the shock of it. then the lies from Nidhi - but i believe she still believed that her parents will come for her.. she didn't know that they thought that she is dead.. but for her they didn't look for her.. then the beatings to make her listen to nidhi and the gender and identity change and make money for the monster and lost childhood - i can hardly imagine what that child might have gone through.. also remember the tying and drug usage when Ruhi remembers her past.. so to suppress her memories.. all this is playing havoc in Ruhi's life now.
Ruhi loves her mother.. the chilli powder and goons attack incident is an evidence to that love. But can she trust her parents? did they even try to build the trust? from them pretending to stay together to everything is a lie..they are trying to connect with her.. so far only Raman was able to put a dent in her hardened exterior.. have we seen any bonding scenes with Ishita and Ruhi other than that one feeding scene..
so now I think she is testing.. remember what Adi told Ruhi that how bad he was and how Ishita never lost her patience with him.. Ruhi wants to see if that is the case.. is that the same mother who cared for them once is still there? so she is lashing out and calling names and disrespecting her.
her feelings are confused right - so when she heard about Pihu and didn't find Ishita there she thought Ishita didn't care.. because for Ruhi Ishita didn't care for her and left her on that cliff.. she is not going to recall all the times Ishita saved her, because for 7 years she was beaten and drugged to forget those memories and they only surface when she is facing the similar situation.. like Pihu hospitalization..
now telling Ishita not to come and see Pihu saying if you come i will not go.. what does it mean.. isn't she testing to see whether her mother is still the same who puts everyones happiness before hers? Ishita stayed back.. that is what Ishita will do.. she never put any of her wishes in front of others happiness.. isn't it a proof to Ruhi that Ishita still cared for Ruhi that though Pihu is sick but since Ruhi wanted to see her sister she is not going to deprive her off that.
then telling the family that she doesn't want to stay with them anymore is the last one i believe to see are they ready to throw in the towel and let her go or try to change her mind to stay.. But Ishita thinking that if Ruhi doesn't want her in the house she will leave so that Ruhi can stay is thinking like Ishita not as a mother.. for her she wants Ruhi to stay and she is not sure how to reach her.. but the family kind of jolted her out of that dispair.. now she is determined to try..
Raman - when Ishita said she will leave for Ruhi so that Ruhi can stay, i don't think he liked it.. it felt like he didn't want to choose.. his closing eyes sort of indicated that he is getting tired with the situation.. i think him and Ishita both are lost and not seeing any hope to keep Ruhi with them..
Precap - i can not guess.. but it will be more heart breaking I think.. because she said both her daughters don't want her and then she saw something in their room.. it will definitely not something cheerful but something that may indicate she is no longer a part of the family.. i don't know.. feeling negative about it..
rest of the fluff scenes are for those TRP aunties and i don't care..
if you don't agree don't bash me..
