Shruti: I always felt Dev was just a forced entry to please the TRP audience. Before that people were asking for Shaurya- Durga pair. As it was not possible, they got a replacement.
Why ?
1. Dev's character sketch is the weakest of all the EHT characters. Even the minute characters were given sharp roles.
2. Till now I fail to get with those 2 years he spent in USA and literally didn't try to contact Nitya. He also never realised his account was hacked. I also fail to understand that on what ground is expecting to meet Nitya one day ?
3. Durga seems to have planned almost everything. She came face to face to Sakshi and Shaurya but her reactions to see Dev looked like there were no such plans to deal with this character. As if she never expected Dev to come. Its Dev's house after all. He is ought to come sooner or later.
4. Her urge to avenge Dev over other Goenkas was absolutely ridiculous. Yes, she believed she was betrayed but one cannot expect someone to go against his family that easily and only because he did it was not a valid reason to avenge him.
5. All of a sudden Dayal wanted Durga to star afresh. Was this the reason he gave her a new face, new identity and helped her in the revenge process. It was just to insert a love angle in the story.
6. As for women's vulnerability is concerned, Durga never was in love with Dev. All of time she expected friendship from him. She gave him the locket so that he finds a girl whose photo fits in the locket. She wrote the same feelings in hte diary also. It was only when she realised Dev is innocently and madly in love with Nitya, she started to develop feelings for him. I found it somewhat ridiculous because Durga''s priority always was Payal and how possibly was she dreaming of a normal life with Dev?
Women are not vulnerable. No, they are not emotional fools. Its only the Indian makers who are hell bent of portraying woman as "mamta bhari maa" all the time.
