And I think we have really hit upon a crucial strand of the main plot with this whole guilt thing. Ishwari's insecurity at an innocent level is becoming obsolete in Dev's life. But on a more devious level, that Ishwari doesn't want to recognise in herself, she is probably worried that if she doesn't have the power of guilt over him, then what power does she have? It makes it all the more symbolic that Dev chose to confess to Sona at the spot this power-dynamic originated. Even though he doesn't realise it yet, by embracing his love for Sona, he is choosing to let go of the guilt and find a more positive inspiration for his life and work... that spells doom for the way the Dixits are used to doing things!

It's to the writers' credit that I never considered Neha a secondary character! She is one of the four pillars of this story, and I love how they have maintained focus on her character. I was all "you go girl!" watching the latest OLV with her and Ranveer! 😆
