A good way of reassuring Sonakshi could have been that too. Infact that's what she was expecting when her Kurta gets stuck in the bush and she smiles.
I feel the makers gave us an indication of what's to come in the future. Whenever Ishwari would be upset Dev would shut down towards Sonakshi all that he would see would be his moms or his families plight and misery. What Sonakshi said today was so apt... " seriously Dev aapki family what about hers..." For him the world still revolves around his mother.
I can't wait to see how the story unfolds and how Sonakshi slowly also becomes equally important to him. That's exactly how it happens in real life too, your world initially revolves around your parents and siblings till you find the love of your life and then you slowly start getting worried about their feelings too. Sonakshi is already in that phase but as far as Dev is concerned there are some hurdles to be crossed. Didn't Sonakshi say to Elena that I think he doesn't love me enough. Hopefully he realizes that and just as he expects her to be the solution to all his problems he becomes the solution to all of hers. Waade toh bahut kardeye Dev babu aab nibhane ka time aa Gaya hai.
Can't wait. I am hooked so bad to this serial .
