Sorry for the delay ...I had to,rewatch a few scenes and edit ..so ..
The most beautiful and intense eposide..highlighting relationships..
I'm going straight to Ishra scene..the ultimatum
So raman gives her the ultimatum..a choice..to choose either him or ruhi .
The choice that should never be brought up by a husband and a father.
He in his rage and anger..never thought of anything..his ego..his impulsiveness clouded everything..and asked the unthinkable..to choose. Now these 2 are different entities ..and should never be compared as they both have their own place and respect in a couples life..a woman's life.
And she came back saying..you want me to choose between the 2 of you?..she couldn't believe it that its her Raman asking her this question. She was completely broken
I..you are asking me to decide between you and my daughter?..Choose one?
This is the ruhi...thru whom i met you, thru whom we came together ..and you asking me to choose between the 2..is that all our relationship is? that small/ negligible..the way she said this line...stupendous..brilliant..that tonal influx ..
And when she said all for this nikhil?..brilliant comeback line..an outsider..a nobody ...is that how small our relationship is?.that you want me to make a choice for that guy?...she valued their relationship not him...as its easy for him to break it as he wishes ...their relationship mattered nothing to him. She knew what place she holds in his life..this was a deal seal...she is nothing to him. She has no value in his life..
So she decided ok..if that's the case..here is my answer..
and trust me for a mother its always kids first..everybody else 2nd or 3rd..this doesnt mean they don't love or value them..its just that kids need parents support and guidance and love, as kids completely depend on their parents for everything in their life. So just as she was about to say her decision...symbolically there came a voice calling her ishima...pihu.. their daughter..who up until now was completely forgotten. Wondering if raman even thought of pihu..then realized..why would he..when it was shagun whom he made pihus mom in every sense.
Reality hit the couple...pihu
That kid kept asking questions and ishu gently spoke t her about her exam ad choice ...when that kid said multiple choice...ishu knew exactly what she had to do...
She chose her kids over Raman.
For the very first time..raman was in the receiving end today. He was a bit relieved when ishu said.."RAman no woman had to go through what shes going thru..that includes you..there's the empathy she had for him...for. A woman..its very simple , it's her husband..but for a mother ..it's always always her children"..brilliant answer..yes it is ..thats reality...it's NOT wrong at all. And walked away with her daughters in each arm for support as she was bleeding from stepping on glass..inside. . He never expected this at all. It's good in a way..now these 2 can rework on their relationship.
Bhallaji...a very patient man..most of the time mute..was bang on today..
He asked ruhi to go with their mother in and listen to her..respect her. and then turned to raman and said.."he ei ever behaved Dwight you i this way?..i have always very patiently sat down and talked to you explained to you..made you understand the situations better..and also allowed to to have your say..never forced my views or opinion on you'...wonderful advice to his son. But the best part of the advice was make your daughter understand your pov. Yes he too has had his moments..but only if it's gone to the extreme..
Ruhi...a troubled emotionally messed up teen...very rebellious..due to her suppressed feelings. What made her rebel more was none trusted her, talked to her, listened to her, .but kept accusing her for something she didn't do. She wants them to understand her when romi and ishu talked to her..she was very calmly listening and talking to them. This girl will not let down her parents. I bet if raman talks to her after things calmed down..and when he calmly explains it to her..this kid will understand. I did feel bad when she said "why don't you guys trust me?..do you really think i will slap romi chachu whom i like a father to me?"...that showed how devastated she was that even her dad misunderstood her. Her parents need lots of patience dealing with her and give her time...she needs it.
Raman...the concerned father, worried father for her future who doesn't want it ruined by some fool became a bit emotional and mellowed down when ruhi said do you think i will do this to chachu...coz he couldn't see his princesses tears. So he decided to console her and said.."I'm not you enemy..i just can't see your life ruined"..and his fear when amma pleaded with ruhi to promise her dad that she will never meet ruhil..her silence..was his worst fear..he knew is going to loose her ...and when she said why shouldn't i meet him?...he couldn't take it..so he tried to do the honors of throwing her out as he couldn't see his daughter's life ruined. AS a father i completely understand and agree with him. But the part i don't agree is him throwing her out...as he opted as escape mechanism rather than finding a solution. He is an escapist ...its been like that always, he simply doesn't want to handle problems. This is where ishita comes into play. As a husband he disappointed me ...is his and ishitas relationship never took off..yes...he has not past the ruhi ke liye at all.. was he shattered when ishita chose the kids..yes he was ..but he brought that upon himself..he was at the receiving end this time. I do not agreee with his way of implementing it.
When Ishita asked is that all our relationship is?,.this prompted me to think..she has moved on from ruhi ke liye..YES she has...NOT Raman...as their relationship has no value and ishta is nothing to him...that very ultimatum...that was it...the framework/ guideline/ restriction was Ruhi ...
Romi...the best character improvement...very calm..trying to handle situations ..his brother, ruhi, adi, ishita ...what a maturity in that character.
Ishita never supported ruhi.she doesn't want ruhi taking drastic and stupid decision and doesnt want a rebel ruhi..shes being very practical..
Pihu was the guardian angel today..the minute ishima came..I knew cvs are trying to crate the old ruhi feeling with pihu..
I loved it..very meaningful, beautiful, realistic situations faced by parents with teen kids.
Divan were amazing whAt a performance...wow...
Kp was good
But the episode belonged to DT..what a fantabulous performance ..take a bow lady.
Loved the dialogues ..very simple and powerful and intense lines.
Had old yhm feel..just a bit..
We got Ramans pov...waiting for ishu's
