Our country has given us several reasons to be proud of it. Corruption, the way we treat our foreign tourists, crimes against women, and our regressive customs. And this is not even an exhaustive list, BTW. There’s so much more. Take our Indian television, for example! Such gems, I tell you. Such gems!

And today, I came across one such rare gem (call it a diamond, if you will). A scene so powerful, that it can single-handedly destroy the credibility of medical science.

The show is Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, and the scene involves the amazing acting chops of Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, who plays the lead character Ishita. She is lying on the autopsy table, and the doctors are about to cut her open. But then the most amazing thing happens!

Twitter user @priyaffs couldn’t suffer this alone so she shared it with all her followers. What you watch now is going to blow your mind.

“I hate Star Plus. THE DOCTORS THINK ISHITA IS DEAD BUT SHE’S ACTUALLY PARALYSED. they’re about to do an autopsy on her and she’s trying to tell them to stop (in her head cos she can’t speak) listen to the last bit pls LMFAO.”

Is your head going all, “WTF did I just watch?” too? So wait, let me get this straight.

The character has been paralysed by some injection. She’s conscious but vegetative, and therefore presumed dead.

They’ve taken her to a hospital, a place full of experts that are supposed to know if a person is dead or not.

And instead of doing their job right, they’re in a rush to cut her up!

“Bina jaane main zinda hoon ya nahi mujhe cheer-phaad denge?”

Yes, everything that you’ve experienced so far is real. Fictional tv show, yes, but not fantasy fiction, or a bad sitcom plot. It is a legit drama.

Okay, benefit-of-doubt time: There is indeed something called as the Lazarus Syndrome, where a human may be assumed dead because of a lack of pulse, and then is known to rise from the dead after some hours. In reality, the person was alive and probably paralysed. However, what makes this scene worthy of our LOLs is the sheer brilliance of dialogues and acting! Also, WTF is with those two docs?

This Twitter no, it’s got absolutely no chill. It just could not appreciate the gravitas of this scene and went ahead with trolling it.

1. This? Too much? Haaaaaaave you met Simar, the makkhi?

2. This is actually earth’s defense mechanism against alien invasion. Don’t think they’ll want our planet after they watch this.

3. Stress and all is cool. But have you ever binge-watched Indian television to the point of existential crisis?

4. Millennials, every time their parent/grandparent snatches control of the television remote. Because.

5. Screw inhaler. Let me just die now, please?

6. Liar! You secretly enjoy watching it too no? #GuiltyPleasure

7. Medical science: This is not possible, you guys.

Indian Television: new phone who dis?

Oh no. Don’t you dare call it tatti. I know you feel like it. But don’t.

Because do you realise, the amount of effort that went into writing this absolutely original plot device? Think of the actors, you guys, and how much this Oscar-worthy performance must’ve drained their grey matter of logic? Like, Amitabh Bachchan and Meryl Streep got nothing on them! And don’t even get me started on those dialogues. That’s some Tarantino-level shit!

So, dare you dismiss it as crap, ridiculous, WTF, hilarious, absurd, comical, uproarious and, if you’re Shashi Tharoor, an exasperating farrago of distortions.

This is real art, you guys. Kaafi deep stuff.

PS: There’s a reason you only Netflix & Chill. Because clearly, you just can’t when watching Indian television. You just can’t.

PPS: For those who’re really concerned about Ishita, don’t worry. Her hero saved her. But who will save us? We are toh doomed na!
