Dev - A Complete Failure as a Boyfriend!

He might be a great son to his mother but he completely failed as a good boyfriend to Sonakshi.

I have always hated the indifference that he showed whenever it came to people insulting his "girlfriend" in the dixit house. Whether it was GKB RR constantly taking a dig at her or the recent Ishwari's rude behavior. Any self-respecting individual would feel terribly bad at what Sona was being put through yet Dev does nothing. Forget taking a stand for her, he doesn't even offer a word of comfort. Would he be okay if Neha was given the same treatment at her in-laws? Even Nikki or Rhea for that matter?
Having said that, the love and respect that he always seemed to hold for Sona and the way he treated her despite the major shortcomings with his character made me ignore them all. That was until now..

Breaking up with Sona was his decision. No matter how wrong the decision was, we can still understand why he does it. In fact I was one of those who took a stand for him since I believed it was what "Dev" would do.. See that , that was expected.

What was not though was the fact that he would do it without first consulting with Sona. I mean seriously Dev? It takes two to build a relationship. The least you could do was to have the decency to explain to the woman you CLAIM to be in love with - the reason you are doing it.

Unfortunately Dev has been only talk and no walk. From the very beginning. "You belong with me Jaha mein hoon wahi tumhara jagah bhi hain.."
Kya hua un wadon ka Dev? You owe her the answers. You can sulk and cry over it as much as you can but first - learn to respect your relationship, respect the girl that has given you nothing but happiness in return for the constant taunts and utter disrespect! Such a disappointment as a romantic lead honestly. Shaheer has no doubt been brilliant and those lines.. they made me fall in love with him too. It's heart breaking to watch him being portrayed as someone who doesn't have the spine or the courage to fight for his happiness and more importantly to take a stand for what is right!

If this was the kind of guy I dated, why would I ever want to go back?!
Would you?



EDIT :*assuming all of us are not jumping to conclusions with Dev's behaviour in the scene*

I was honestly shocked with the way Dev behaved in SBS.
Him breaking up with Sona I can understand but him disrespecting the relationship that they had was such a big blow to all of us who stood for him over the whole fiasco.
He seriously let us all down. I really hoped RR was wrong when she said that they only had to wait till Sona was out of Dev's life to taunt her again. I was so sure that even after their break-up Dev would never be okay with her disrespecting Sona but here he didn't even flinch when they dismissed their relationship as a mistake

Dev seriously isn't giving us any real reason for us to root for him right now. I mean think about it, who has gained significantly from their relatonship? Dev. Who changed for the better? Dev. Who promised and went back on them? Dev. Why should Sona give him another chance? To a man who, forget fighting for her, doesn't even take a stand for her? Sona deserves so much more!

-A Humongously dissapointed DevAkshian!

** the opinions in red are after wathcing SBS - hoping the real scene doesn't disappoint us as much as the OLV from SBS did**

Totally agree with you... From the moment he realised his love to sona he had been to himself... He had always taken sona for granted... Any relationship that's taken for granted holds no spine.. it ought to be fallen off...
He being shown as shrud business man doesn't suits his character to take things for granted... Neither for Sona nor for ishwari...
It were his blunders that's sona is going to reep... A total failure of dev..

Just one thing I want to say
What exactly did you expect Dev to say during Ish GKB scene?
Just once put yourself at his place & tell me .. Exact words that he could have said at that time to Ish

Let me tell you what I would definitely not do instead.
Not sitting there and letting them think I was okay with them disrespecting my girlfriend or my relationship. I broke up with her , didn't stop loving her. My break up doesn't erase the fact that I was in that relationship and it gave me so many reasons to cherish it.
So yeah! I would at least ask them to not speak of it that lightly.

Was that a good enough answer? Please let me make it clear that I love DevAkshi and would want nothing more than them being together. I think anyone who knows me could tell you as much and also this post is not a hate post.. far from that . It's my take on Dev as a character. It's what I would like the creatives to think about SERIOUSLY and fix it before they turn him into someone I cannot respect.

Yaah, i also feel since the revelation episode there is a different Dev. Someone who is so selfish jst bothered bout him and his mother. He has totally taken Sonakshi for granted. I too feel he is totally wrong in breaking up witj Sonakshi, may b neone in that situation when u c ur mother suffering so mch that she reaches near death and that too bcoz of ur relationship, in haste would take a similar decision. But i m very disturbed after today's SBS segment. I actually thght he will jst do his duties as a son and brother with an emotional disconnect. Seeing him sitting with his head in his mother's lap and a silence when GKB calls his love as a mistake is totally beyond my understanding. Everytime ne such thing is done by Dev, i m always reminded of the scene where he criticises Kushal Roy. Probably that was the scene where character of Dev as an ideal boy friend or husband was sketched. But when really came to be one he has failed miserably. But still i keep my finger crossed that all this is temporary bcoz during crisis sometimes person behaves opposite to his character but soon he regains it, hope Dev will also do so.

GKB said Dev realized his mistake.He kept silent.His silence is like.He is agreeing to GKB.That it was mistake to fall in love with Sona.He insulted Sona n her love. By not opposing it.By keeping mum.He could have said falling in love is not mistake mami.Love is a pure feeling n walked out of the room.He cannot say this.But can call Sona's new boss to say that he should behave politely with Sona.First he need to shut his family members mouth.Then go n shut outsiders mouth.

Geetha 🤗

Agree with whatever you have written. Dev is great with words but he has yet to prove that he is more than just a talker. Taking a cake for her mum, gifting her a phone, etc are all nice & cute. Such things ADD to the relationship as a whole & make it wonderful. But while he excels on these extras he totally fails in the major things. I was waiting for him to realize that he should finally go n meet the Bose's once but usse pehle hi inn logo ne break up dikha diya😆 Now today I hear he is sitting at his mom's feet with his head in her lap?😲 And they said he will be angry. But with whom? Bhola, Kicchu & Tina? Or maybe some poor peon in the office because people who have wronged him...he is sitting at their feet listening to them bitch about his gf?😲 Then I will say he doesnt even have any right to be angry either.


I think I will just follow the LU till the picture clears up a bit. I cannot be bothered watching a good hero like Dev Dixit turn into a complete spineless coward. I will just leave with all the good memories of his many promises & assume he fulfilled them

@ Bold - I completely agree! And I think that is exactly what is happening with Dev and Sonakshi right now.
This separation and going by SBS video the effect that will have on Sona's equation with Dev, he's up for one rude awakening and he so deserves it! I no longer have any sympathies for Dev either the same way I no longer care for Ishwari. However, unlike Ishwari I still find myself hoping for his sake he finds his way back to her eventually and learns the lesson the hard way.
He needs her not the other way around (at least as far as we have seen so far on the show.)

Tbh, when i first read the title of the post, I was ready to disagree with u 😆
However, u've done absolute justice to ur post by listing all the points. I agree with u completely. 👏

I hope Sona or someone else [preferably Neha] make him realise what a failure he has been in terms of fulfilling his relationship with Sona.

He's definitely disappointing us but I love the fact that this show is ready to show characters full of flaws whether it be Dev or Ishwari. I would love to see how they show these flaws into their strengths.

Can't wait for this emotional rollercoaster ride. I'm team Sona all the way 😆
