I seriously thought Dev is a guy , a human with emotions ...

Hey we men also have emotions and we allowed to cry

Dev crying because he wanted to do so much more for Neha and he didn't get that chance

Sorry I don't mean to be rude or anything but I know if my sister marries and leaves home someday I'll miss her I'll cry

Lot of excitement I see😃😃

Enough flippancy ..so lets get down to business.

For the record I love the show. Infact its the only Hindi TV show I watch. I am critical because I have expectations from it. When I am disappointed I voice them in my own fashion which may or may not be palatable to others.

Crying; Nothing wrong with the emotion at all be it a male or female. However this emotion, in my opinion must be used, at least by the major characters, to emphasis strong feeling of sadness/hurt. There should be a situation that demands and there should also be a proper built up for it to have the desired effect. If not used properly it becomes routine/common place and loses its importance.

One more important thing is that the audience should FEEL it not just KNOW the reason.

Case in point:

1. Dev when mamas house is burnt down

2. Sona when she is informed by mami that gujrals came with a proposal for Dev

3. Sona when she cries sitting on the window sill the night before Devs engagement

In all the above scenes they all were justified, well enactedand very well built up so that audience (or atleast I could) feel the pain and may be even have shed a tear or two myself.

How many of you can actually say the same about yesterdays crying scene. It was very poorly done.

One second he was being his authoritative self with Tina and the gang and the next scene he already had moist eye. There was no built up. Just an abrupt jump from one scene to the other (ignore Sona's scene as thatirrelavant to Devs situation)

We all know Dev was missing his sister but depth of it was not properly shown for the audience (in this instant) to feel it. I dont know... they could have given us some flashbacks of how Neha had to sacrifice things or some interaction between Dev and Neha which Dev now regrets.

None of that.

Just a sudden bout of crying and the audience is supposed to feel bad and sympathize? That's lazy direction. In affect wasting a perfectly good emotion because of poor direction and giving an impression as if Dev can cry at the drop of a hat.
