Ishq Mein Marjawan 2 26th June 2021 Written Episode Update: Siya apologizes to Riddhima

Hi y’all! I hope that you’re doing well. Today’s episode was simply lovely! We got a cute Riansh couple fight, a poignant Siya-Vyom break-up scene, Ishani getting her just desserts (at least partially), Riddhu talking to Dottu or rather Dotti (as she assumes she’ll have a baby girl), and a wise womanly conversation between Riddhu and Siya, all packaged together in one episode……it feels like Christmas morning haha! So let’s get to it:
=The RIansh fight: Aww, RIddhu’s facial expressions and how she leaned in and closed her eyes, expecting a kiss from Vansh were just too adorable. I loved RIddhu’s mood swings, but at the same time I can’t blame Vansh for working so hard….not only does he have a wife and child to take care of, but also a whole snake family to support!
=The Siya-Ishani confrontation: Hmm, I really liked this scene…unlike any other Siya-Ishani scenes in the past. First of all, I have to commend Ishani for directly confronting Siya instead of going and telling Angre or Vansh about it (though that would have not been wrong either)….Ishani may be selfish, but she does love Siya in her own weird way, and I think she wanted to hear her side of the story. But at the same time, Siya basically and rightfully told Ishani that she was the one, who pushed her to fall in love with/pursue Vyom, and then she progressed to give her big sis tons of attitude….it was so satisfying to watch! However, I do think in a way, it was nice of Ishani to help Siya delete the video of the latter and Vyom before Angre could see it…..it’s kind of like when sisters fight, but they’ll still protect one another from the wrath of their parents (or in this case their terrifying Vansh Bhai) haha. Though from a strategic point of view, I don’t get why Ishani would delete the video….perhaps, like she said, she doesn’t need the video to convince Vansh about Siya’s and Vyom’s relationship, or she genuinely didn’t want to blackmail her sister. Plus, ordinarly, I would want Ishani to have told the truth to Angre (as they should be communicating and all), but I’m 100% sure, he would have told his Boss, so from her POV, it’s better that she protected her little sis in that way.
=The Siya – Vyom scene: Wow, if words could kill…..First of all, I again appreciated Ankit’s acting in this scene….even though the scene itself didn’t seem super complex or emotional from his POV, I could just feel Vyom’s almost loathing for himself and for Siya through his expressions and dialogues! Also, I long awaited this moment, when Siya would be absolutely heart-broken and realize that she was so wrong for betraying her family, but seeing the tears streaming down her face, and her desperation to attain Vyom’s love, really saddened me! Although, she wasn’t doing herself any favors by still practically begging for Vyom’s love after he explicitly told her that he was just using her to destroy her family…..but oh well! Also, even though Vyom is not my favorite character, and his behavior with Siya was so ugly today, I can’t dislike him….I feel like he just hates himself for not protecting his family, so how can he possibly radiate love or kindness to others. Like Gayu (RIP girl), I believe deep down, Vyom is a good, or rather great person!
=The Riddhima-Siya scene: To begin, I loved RIddhu’s mini conversation with her baby girl….I kind of want it to be a baby boy/Chotu Vansh, but a Dotti would be fine too…..in any case, we won’t even get to see the baby in the series, so what difference does it make…..plus, if RIansh do have a little girl, it would be nice seeing how all the women in Vansh’s life, including RIddhu, Dotti, his sisters, Dadi, Chachi, etc., drive him nuts, but I digress. Honestly, despite Vyom’s harsh words, we should be thanking him that he inadvertently gave Siya the push she needed to reconnect with her family…..no one could have turned her away from Vyom, besides Vyom himself. And I loved Riddhima’s mature, female advice to Siya…..you should first love and focus on yourself, before seeking love from others, particularly from a man….so true! Plus, I also liked how she said tears don’t make you weak, they just mean that you’re emotional…..personally, I’m sometimes dislike how people assume that just because one cries easily, they are weak, so I really loved RIddhu’s words here. Most of all, Siya and RIddhu are back on……I didn’t really realize how much I missed their bonding and it makes sense….neither of them have any friends, so they’re a friendship match made in heaven haha! And I adored how Riddhu said that sometimes she thinks that she would be better off without Vansh, since he ignores her all the time, and then Siya helped her with some playful plotting and planning against Vansh…..What a sweet and wholesome moment….it felt like old times!
= Lastly, why are men so clueless….Although, I did find it cute that Vansh didn’t realize why RIddhu was that upset at him….oh lord. At least, his trusted right hand man Angre realized that Riddhu’s pregnancy mood swings were to blame lol…..I know Ishani was pregnant before, but has Angre been reading much parenting books or something lately haha?
=The precap: Aww, how cute does RIddhu look as Mr. Nair-Roy! Hmm, judging by the way Vansh shook her hand, I feel like he may realize that it’s RIddhima, but will play along with her little game (or maybe not)….but Vansh did always say that he could recognize RIddhu from her scent or touch, so let’s see if his words prove to be true…..I just hope Vansh doesn’t get upset with Riddhu for meddling in his business in a way, by impersonating his business associate…..let’s see, but I’m really looking forward to these lighter scenes!
=That’s it y’all for today/ I wrote too much, but I’m in better spirits today (let’s hope it stays that way), and the episode was truly lovely, with nice transitions between the scenes and was very, well done! My only grievance with the episode was that there was only one RIansh scene….normally that would be fine, but with only 7 episodes left, we want more haha! Till next time, have a lovely weekend, and stay healthy and happy!
