This Dev of CB2 is drastically different from Dev of CB1, who took my heart away. That Dev was one of the main reason why i stuck to the show because, he was so different from the others. He was a strong man who stood beside his wife and believed her even when the entire world went against her!

Sigh. Dev of CB2 is not different from the rest, and is drastically opposite to Dev of CB1. But then both have been brought up in very different conditions. This Dev is fed from very young age as to how important it is to preserve the name/honor of the family. And he has been repeatedly choosing his family's name/honor OR DDJee's wishes over Radhika.

Actually the character of Dev is consistent majorly. He is not a very strong man emotionally... doesn't accept faults easily...thats the reason he wants to live in his comfort zone...this arrangement of Dev-Radhika-Barkha is the comfort zone for him, because he can have everything nicely arranged in the platter.

During the Rohan-Rads fiasco, Dev wasn't initially ready to sacrifice Rads. But when DDjee's name came in, he gave up. He was ready to sacrifice his love. There was also his emotional insecurity that he might not be able to give Rads status and luxury. Fine. Then when Rohan became ill...Dev didn't spare a minute before blaming Rads for every single thing. Was she the only one responsible? No, he was equally involved. Or may i say, Dev was the one who cheated Rohan and not Rads...because she told Rohan the truth before marriage happened. However, Dev never told Rohan that Rads was his love! But he shouted at Radhika, behaved coldly with her for numerous times...to make her feel guilty (when it was his own guilt pricking him inside) and also to an extent because he was unable to forget her so he screamed at her(again because of his own guilt) But all this stopped when Rads was about to loose her life, when Rohan pushed her in the lake. Dev saved her and after facing the fear of loosing her, he became mild towards her. Yet, he didn't believe Rads that Rohan was faking of being ill...UNTIL she didn't show him the truth!

Again, this time Dev chose DDjee's wish --Barkha, over Radhika...to preserve the family's name.

Acc. to Dev...Barkha is the girl who sacrificed her entire life for RaDev...who has put her entire future at stake for the sake RaDev...so that RaDev can be together. Oh, such a humble soul Barkha is! Yes, thats what any person may think...and so does Dev. Which girl does all this for any friend? No one.

He took Barkha's name during RP puja, thinking he would have both wife and RPti. But didn't he think the mental torture Radhika would have to face if the arrangement comes through? No, he didn't. Now when he sees Rads sad, it pinches him...reminding him his mistake during RP puja...but doesn't want to accept it though.

Barkha told him certain words which is true in general case -- wife feeling jealous, insecure because other lady is being given importance. This is easy for Dev to believe...and more so because he feels guilty for he is the one responsible for this mess...he tried taking an easy way out by uttering barkha's name during RP puja...and also wanted Radhika along with him!

So Dev's eyes are blinded completely by Barkha's lies/ sacrifices...and in this he is not noticing the sacrifices Radhika had given.

Is it easy for a wife to let some other lady get the status of her husband's wife, when the other lady is nothing. Is it easy for a wife to feel happy when others are blessing her husband to have a long married life with some other woman?

Its not easy. It really tough, yet Radhika did it just so that her husband can be happy. Just for the sake of his family...for the sake of RPship...for the sake of promise given to DDJee.

She could have easily walked out after RP puja saying, she cannot do this...because remaining as his wife inside the house, while outside Barkha pretends to be one...cannot be easy on herself. She cannot see her husband with some other lady. Better to move away. OR she could have stood strong that Dev SHOULD Accept only her as his wife publicly!!

But Rads didn't choose the easy way, she chose the tough road so that her husband can have his RPti and his wife as well.

However in Dev's eyes, he feels Radhika has it all, so why should she feel bad. Rads had repeatedly told him that all she wanted was to be with him as his wife. So he was happy in his comfort zone because he is giving her that...never bothering to give Rads, a public recognition (he is working on it by putting things on Rohan's head...but am not sure, how much it would be successful!) He always chooses easy way out than going for the correct but tough path!

So my point, Dev feels bad when Rads does all this to Barkha...because he thinks that Rads has unnecessarily become insecure of a girl who doesn't even love him! He is too much obliged to Barkha because if it hadnt been for her, his comfortable life wouldnt be there. And in this, he is unable to see Rads pain, sacrifice. Even if he sees, he shuts himself saying why should she be in pain, for he is there for her!

But Barkha? Who is there for her? Hence his promise that he wont start his married life until Barkha gets married.

So he wants to get guilt-freed in case of Barkha but not Rads because he thinks, he is there for her and would give everything when time comes, to her. In short, he takes Rads for guaranted!

He doesn't realize though, that the reason for this comfortable life of his...is not Barkha...but Radhika. It is Radhika's sheer strength that is letting him have this comfy life with everything in his platter...had it been for some other wife, she would have put her foot down and would have insisted to let only her name be said publicly!

He won't realize it either...until he doesn't loose Radhika!

Sometimes when life goes perfectly, we tend to forget or don't notice the reason as to why our life is so smooth. Is someone working behind selflessly so that the thorns in our paths get removed, before we set our foot on it? Is someone working quietly, without making it obvious, so that you can have a smooth flowing life? When someone like that is behind you, life seems very easy however we don't make a point to turn behind and see who is the one doing everything and making life easier for you...Until the person doesn't go away. Once the person goes away, you realize how difficult life was, but because the person was behind you, things seemed easier and so smooth.

Once Radhika is gone, Dev and the entire PF would realize how Barkha is as a RPtian and as a human. Barkha hardly knows anything or hardly understands the worth of RPship...yet everyone is making her a queen. Well, they would realize who was the noble soul was...when this arrogant queen would smash them down her heels!

And well, everyone including Dev deserves that. 😃

Dev disappointed me as a character y'day because he was so different from the rest of the lot and hence close to my heart. Y'days Dev was just like someone else which i couldnt relate to. Nevertheless this is CB2's Dev. But i wanted to vent out my feelings...and hence this post! 😳

Sia i liked ypur thoughts about Dev and it gives insight in to his psyche ... He has grey shades reacts to Radhika when she is in grave danger ...Yes he has taken her as granted , knows she will always be there for him ...He is believing Barkha whatever crap she is feeding him and most of them is truth ...now he is looking at the things what Barkha wants to see him then Padma , Amba are also singing about Barkha ...His mind and heart are blocked ,Radhika,s cry for help or her pain is not touching him ...Sometimes Misunderstandings go on piling one after another , same is happening here ...Radhika in her anger confronted her that also before Dev , she took advantage of that , convincing Dev , whatever she said about Radhika is true ...Last 2-3 days episodes repeat i saw , was kind of punishment , but if you look at the situations and dialogues , Barkha has very smartly twisted the situations in her favor...Dev is grateful to Barkha because of her he got married to Radhika , little knowing she will be the reason for their ruin ...Last scene was very sad , he just accused her without giving her any chance to defend herself ...Major problem is CB1 Dev comes to mind , so the comparison ...If it would have been their first show , then would not have any problem ...Now are giving logic , but should more of Dev.s monologues as viewers wants to hear him to connect with him ...He has become his old self ...I am posting one song from Anuradha , concept is totally different, but here husband takes his wife for granted , when she takes the decision to leave him , then he realize her importance ...This is classic movie ...

yes that's what hurt me the most. its about eternal love of radhika and dev, and no eternal lovers will have trust of this level. he did not blinked even once before blaming rads of poisoning barkha. on wed it was fine with me. he was feeling anger towards radhika for not trusting their love. but yesterday accusing rads for trying to kill barkha, its beyond me.
I was so attached with these two because of their intense faith in each other. This is surely not love.

i hope they show that dev was all acting.

Yes, he can realize her worth only after he looses her. Well, they are building it up so nicely that we all have started wishing that Dev looses Rads! He should know how life can be difficult when Radhika is not there for him! How Barkha's presence in his life is nothing...because she means nothing to him more than a burden of guilt. Yes, she is the guilt pricking thorn in his life, because he took her name in RP puja. He took an unwed girl's name as his wife during the puja, messing Barkha's life and hence is feeling guilt ridden towards her. Whatever is happening is because of that!

You are right Sia , because of that his guilt he is not thinking rationally , not believing Radhika instead trusting Barkha ...Whatever he said in anger does not mean he stopped loving her ...It will be after he loose radhika the realization will come and when he will think about the past happenings then will become suspicious .Track is going well

Thanks 😊

Yes, Dev is emotionally weak because he never got love from anyone. Also he never takes PF for granted...because he doesn't consider them as his own. He himself said that the two people close to his heart were Rads and DDjee. He chooses wrong because currently he is under guilt and cannot think right, unfortunately.

sia, a great in-depth analysis of Dev's character.
This Dev has always clung to Dadaji, as he was his soul support at his young age and so he used to do things to please him and this has become his habit, Now when Radhika came into his life, he got another support, but the habit of walking on his Dadaji's words have not left and so he chose Barkha over Radhika.
This Dev is just like Radhika of CB - 1, takes the spouse for granted as feel them as their own extension. This Dev is not strong at all, as whenever a major circumstance comes, he falters and looks for a strong support.
Yes, he is not the strong Dev of Cb-1, who is known to all of us, he is weak , v'weak and this is the reason y we r not liking his character.
HOPE he gets strong atleast now, after he loses Radhika and turns into the Dev which we all want to see.

The problem is Dev is highly obligated to Barkha. He surely loves Radhika a lot. Yes, it did pinch me that he didn't let her explain, but he has a reason -- because he thinks that Rads has lost her senses under this insecurity, jealousy. However people don't flip in their nature so quick...Rads hasnt changed. He knows her well, but because he is guilty and his sub-conscience knows it... however he doesnt want to accept, he is shouting on Rads.

If you see, barkha has played her game very well. She always stood by Dev's words. She always supported him, even when Rads did not. Plus she never takes Rads name in poor light. And then her huge sacrifice blinds his eyes. So her sacrifice, his guilt all has made him weak...and he is shouting on Rads, left right and center without even letting her explain her stance.

Liked today's first part where Rads asked her Lord as to how come her KK didn't even let her explain and was the first one to point finger at her. Just like us, Rads is also befuddled by this. But what she is not understanding is that...this Dev is under heavy guilt and to bring some sense in to him, she has to act smart and not truthfully!
