Everyone is so angry about how Ishita handled her business on national TV, that something else got ignored. I wont get into whether she was right or wrong--I understand her reason for doing what she did, even if how she did it was basically ridiculous...But come on! Raman just bought Prateek for her! I want to ask--does no one have a problem with what Raman did with Prateek? Let me explain:
When Raman meets Prateek, he does so out of guilt. Well and good. He should be apologizing to Prateek for his actions, since they led to Prateek's family also being quite humiliated. He does not know that Ishita's engagement broke because SHE asked Prateek to choose, and that Prateek was a loser. If Raman had only apologized to Prateek for the disturbance, assured him of Ishita's innocence, and left, I would have thought him a hero.

If Raman had only apologized to Prateek for the disturbance, assured him of Ishita's innocence, and left, I would have thought him a hero.
What he does, however, is so completely insulting, it took my breath away. He offers to PAY Prateek, give him a good JOB, if he will return to Ishita's life. Now remember, Prateek does not work for Raman, he works at another firm. He is someone who Raman does not know at all, all he knows is that they were engaged, and now they are not. But what gives Raman the right to BRIBE another man? To put money into someone else's relationship? Does he have so little respect for marriage that he will reduce someone ELSE"S marriage in terms of money and power? Why, after he is feeling guilty over having misjudged Ishita, is he interfering with Ishita's life?
If Prateek was a decent man, he would not have left Ishita in the first place. Don't tell me an award winning CEO doesn't know that much about what makes a man a good person, and what actions reveal him to be a creep.

If Raman had yelled at Prateek, insulted him for leavng Ishita at the first sign of trouble, I would have appreciated Raman's actions. It would have been interfering, but it would have been an honest impulse, a strong man giving hell to a weaker fellow for not being...a man. And if he cared at all, he wouldn't have wanted a man who could be bought like that for Ishita, the woman who SAVED HIS KID.
What Raman does, and then what he says--don't let Ishita know about our deal--it shows him to be a creep too. He knows Ishita would hate him for the deal with Prateek--because its insulting, and she has already been insulted by him in every other way. But here, he just does it again---he has basically just bought Ishita a man, and the Prateek who called him less than a gentleman is now himself less than a man. And RAMAN KNOWS THIS.

I think there was an element of cruelty in Raman, which made me feel that his insulting on national TV later was actually just fine. Ishita didn't know what he had done with Prateek, but she called him on his other bullshit. I think Raman had already insulted her very deeply before she showed up at the TV station, by basically buying her a husband. And more than anything else he has already done, if I was Ishita, it is THIS action, the one of paying Prateek to come back to her life with lies and fake promises, all so he can get a job at Raman's office--it is this that I would never forgive him for.
