i think a major difference between virat (in the first couple hundred episodes at least) and ishaan (till now) is that for virat, duty came before family, he stood for what he believed was right, had a mind of his own, a spine and wasn't afraid to call out his elders when he thought that they were wrong. he was a mature human being who treated his elders with a lot of respect but recognized that they were humans and not god who could do no wrong.
ishaan, however is the the complete opposite, mama and papa bear come before everybody and everything for him, he thinks of his adoptive parents as superheroes, the way kids do. he doesn't have a spine and has frequent emotional outbursts, he is emotionally stunted because he feels his mother abandoned him (and now with ishantanu gone, I don't think he will ever be able to grow up and explore perspectives beyond the bhosale mansion).
sai and virat were both strong willed individuals and fit together which is why sairat felt worth rooting for. but over here, ishaan is more like naam bade darshan chhote, he is the director of such a prestigious college lekin savi ka naam ek baar sunte hi professionalism ko bhej diya tel lene, turant bol diya shukla ji ko resign karne. he carries a deep emotional baggage that needs to be addressed by a therapist, he has to grow out of his manchild phase and needs to start behaving like a 30 year old man to be worth rooting for. savi is just so frustrating. i wish she saw the signs that ishaan was still in love with reeva and focused on her upsc instead of falling in love with ishaan.
sairat fit together so well, it felt like they were made for each other. but with ishvi, it feels like people ship them because they are the ml and fl and not because they belong together. there is nothing charming about ishvi, and ever since reeva came back, they've barely had any screen space together and their relationship hasn't evolved even a little bit, the TRPs have been reflecting that.
