Dev's journey for concluding Durga is Nithya-My take - Page 2

@Anu he didn't simply gauge silence. He put forward a theory. Even before he was putting forward theory based on his assumptions from gauging silences and expressions. And was seeking confirmation for the same by confronting. For e.g you are hiding Nithya or how did you come to Nithya's house. At all those points for him Durga and Nithya were 2 entities as both the mask, her makeover and diary helped in hiding the reality. Also he didn't know exactly how Nithya disappeared. Durga stood very much in confrontation giving strong answers to each of his theories. Real confusion for him started from b'day cake because it was not in diary. From there he started building new assumptions. He knew Nithya had an accident from Mathur, a severe accident that too. Only thing he did was he didn't confront Durga or Dayal with his new formed assumptions. Once he got the evidence Dr Dayal's car was the one which caused Nithya's accident he more or less decided to speak out his theory.For me yesterday he played his cards well. First telling Dr Thakur your car killed Nithya. He was sure Dr Thakur will negate that and will tell Nithya is alive and about their deal. Then he put forward his theory. You need to clearly see the words he used. I know Nithya is not dead. You have not killed her. But you have given a new life to her. I know where you have hidden Nithya. She was always there with me. Walking in front of me. I am thankful to you for giving her back to me. Till today I was living, but today I have life. Without telling Dayal he understood Durga is Nithya he put forward his theory in a beautiful manner. And Dayal didn't say yes nor did he say no. Yes he had to be told. But the absence of no I mean a strong no to his theory he took it as yes. Dayal didn't refute even one word of his theory. Also Dayal hugged him.

@Fieryheart the only points I was actually irritated with Dev was his explanation of his absence of 2 years. That was not good enough. Second was the way he got the medical report. That had so much of blooeprs and he was shown quite dumb not even checking his car was being followed.

Dev had many signs to know Durga was Nitya. Especially how she bonded with Payal and how Payal pointed to her when he asked her about Nitya.

Otherwise I am fine with him. Reason first we need to know the character does not know what we audience know. He has no clue how Nithya disappeared. Even to think plastic surgery atleast the cause of her disappearance has to be known for any right thinking individual. There has to be a reason why the face has to be changed.

Second he was trying to balance it out with his mom and his true intentions. He was running around for proofs to confront his family. His idea was reopening case not taking back door methods. For a guy like him both for confronting the family as well as reopening the case solid proofs are needed. Evidence matters. Not hearsay. With hearsay you can make deductions, hunches but not confrontation. Didn't everybody knew Dev didn't shoot Raima. Why Durga had to create drama to bring him out. It was for creating evidence. As without evidence , just with hearsay no court would acquit him.

People also forget the fact that Payal changed the statement. She told openly in the court what happened was consensual not rape. Nithya was fighting for Payal. Who asked Payal to change the testimony without telling her sister who was fighting on her behalf. Didn't she trust Nithya enough to give in to Sakshi's threat and marriage offer. If she had not changed the testimony case wouldn't have closed that fast. Nithya would have still fought , fought to get justice. Maybe they all would have died but there will never be in records that Payal told it was not rape. In a way Payal betrayed Nithya by changing that testimony. It was that change which drove Nithya's parents to suicide. They were holding on and supporting their daughter in the fight. How would have been the parents felt when the girl went and told in court it was not rape just marry her of to Shaurya.

So everyone's suffering is to some extent their own doing. There is no point just shouting at one character.

@Anu - I agree Payal was traumatised n she was emotionally blackmailed too by Sakshi n maybe she thought this was better for all of them rather than go through this harassment. Payal was innocent n she was lost but I in a way she is indeed responsible for the aftermath. I am not saying things would have worked out in their way had she not changed the statement. Sakshi would have found another way to win the case n she only wanted to speed up court proceedings by making Payal change the statement. But all said n done Payal shd have atleast consulted Nithya and her parents once. They had every right to be a part of that decision. It wasn hers alone. They were fighting for her honor too. Then y couldn she place her faith in her sister who risked her life even fighting for her? And even if there was no chance of winning the case she shd have fought for herself. There is a saying you can drag a horse to the riverside but you cannot force it to drink water and thats what happened here as well. Nithya could support her, try to offer her strength but it had to come from within Payal to fight for herself first. If she gives up then what can the rest of them do?

Evidence has to be found. It does not fall in lap or come by just asking. It has to be collected carefully. And not carelessly the way Dev left his phone number at mental hospital, or did not realise that Sakshi was following his car. Shaurya had threatened him, Raj and Sakshi were threatening him. He did nit wonder why they were doing this if Shaurya was not guilty?

He faked Rajnath's voice openly on road? Never thought what if someone heard him? Is this how evidence are collected? What do you call someone who blunders this way?

Regarding actor, you need a solid actor. Not a popular one only. This is a show that took solid veterans like Amit Behl for even small role like Mathur. Dev is not a small character. He has scope being heroine's love interest and victim himself as his father was killed. So for varied emotions an actor needs to step up and not fumble. He is okay. But that is not enough. He has to be good at least if not the best.

You are absolutely correct.Nice post👍🏼
