After the "YouKnowWho" and Dev's face off everyone is mad ... Some are mad at R for firing at Dev without knowing the truth , some are mad at Dev for taking it all silently ...
But whats wrong with what R did ... This guy knows about Dev only thru Sona who is obviously victim in this break-up , so in the first instance only Dev became the villain of the story . He is seeing this beautiful soul struggling everyday to move on , but Dev is making it difficult for her and more than once he had seen her crying for this guy ... I hope Sona hasn't told him about Dev's interference with his career . He was being mature in all these time even after Dev's irrational behavior at the restaurant interrupting their date and openly challenging him that "She is mine" ... Dev , was trying to be intimidating , with his power and money , yet R handled that situation graciously without creating any chaos .
It was very evident that he held a great amount of respect for Sona , he genuinely wanted to help her to move on . After all these it came to this situation that his and her family's respect would be questioned because of a news related with Dev .Just because of this news, matter is escalated and its not just him now to deal with this affair but his family is also involved ,and it was getting difficult for him to keep the situation under control. So can we blame this guy for holding Dev responsible? Till now he kept his calm but because of loving this guy Sona and her family had to face this humiliation. IMO he had every right to be angry at him , and he couldn't control himself .. But even when he was firing at him , he was concerned about Sona not about the humiliation his family had to face . He was being a true friend.I love his characterization so far and really really hope Cvs wont turn him negative .
Now about Dev . he now knows about the crazy things he had done and had to promise Sona that he would never meet her again which is the most difficult promise he had to give in his life and he was dying inside . And he had to accept she is going to be someone else's and he would not have any right on her anymore . To top it all he comes to know about his own mother's involvement in this . He is struggling really hard to make peace with all these and to let her go . But he had hurt her enough , so he HAD TO DO THIS ... But here comes a situation where their relationship becomes a public affair, and Sona questions him why he would do this again and humiliate her and family . Even though he clarified he didn't give the interview , and at least he would try to keep the last promise he had given her .It hurt him that she doubted him , but he cant blame her , because he was not himself for the past few weeks,and had given her enough reasons to believe so . And he is beyond guilty now that because of him now the whole Bose family had to face the humiliation. He is on the verge of losing himself , so how can he defend himself when someone accusing him of hurting Sona , and saying he doesn't deserve her . Because he himself knows it's the bitter truth .
It was his sincere words when he told Ishwari "You had always taught me to respect woman, do you think I could do something like this .." He can do anything for his loved ones but he could never play with a woman's respect let alone the one woman who is the love of his life. He knows this time he was not responsible but he was in no state to argue ...
So I don't belong in Dev's haters group or Rithik's haters group now . I completely understand Rithvik's outburst and Dev's silence. I am only looking forward to see how and who would manage this situation and keep the engagement intact and also to see if R's words would impact Dev .
