I feel if these situations happened without that tension BG music it wouldn't feel like such an issue. 😆
Ishwari was having trouble accepting a new entry in Dev's life: Sonakshi. But she sees how happy Dev is, and how she can see how much her acceptance of Sona is important to him. She is trying, but she isn't very good yet in managing her possessive nature over her son.
Even her daughters learned to step back and be second, third and fourth, when it comes to Dev. That scene with Riya was very poignant for me. She knows and acknowledges that their Mum will and always put Dev above all of the girls. The fact Ishwari didn't even bother saying "No, my dear, all of you are dear to me equally. Just that I don't see much of Dev, is all.." That bugs me.
Sonakshi is so stuck in that uncomfortable situation. She should have insisted that they go shopping together minus her. It was too much too soon. Sona already has Dev in her pockets (😆), she can afford to give Ishwari the feeling that she still has her laadla Dev like normally.
Sona needs to back off. From these shopping excursions, and from family photos. if she wants a harmonious married life later, i mean.
What i am saying is not true for all. Depends on the mother. Lots of mothers are super friendly and inclusive to girlfriends from the get go, more so if she likes the girl a lot. But Ishwari is NOT like that. She needs to not give Dev everything he wants, just because he asks so adorably. *sigh*
I'm all for Sona and Dev, but these shopping trips and family photo inclusions, for Ishwari is too much too soon. And it does not take away anything from Sona, but a lot from Ishwari. Some diplomacy must be there also , na?
The was Dev is behaving with Sona, he needs to be married stat !
