@Payal- Sona might be mature and sensible but she's emotional and madly in love with Dev. One puppy dog face with a sorry and she's gonna melt like butter. She'll let everything go and she'll try to fit in the mad family again. Dev has that kind of control over Sona and I think he knows it but Sona still doesn't have the kind of control where she can refuse Dev for something or make him believe that his mother is not a goddess.

Doctor Doctor Doctor 🤣 Why do you love to kill me 😆 ..

Oh so totally agree with these points. Specially for Ishwari and Sona. 🤪 Neither Ishwari nor Sona can trigger any sympathy in me because they have created all these mess themselves 😎 In this show I am only concerned about the Bose Family now. So I would comment on them first -

Bijoy Bose is such a BOSS 😆 No one can read the unhealthy relationship of Dev and Ishwari better than him 😆 .. Bijoy is not mahaan, he is just TOO irked to see his 26 yr old upbringing going down to drain with his precious daughter choosing such uncultured family for herself all on her own 😆 From his expressions, he looks so agitated and frustrated and definitely he doesn't try to act mahaan by fake-accepting the Dixits. This is my take on him 😆.

Sona is a gone case and indeed CV wants us to give that 'Mahaan' feeling for both Sona and Ishwari 😆 For Sona they have chosen the typical Gopi Bahu or Sasural Simar way where the bechari abala dukhiyari Bahu 😭 tolerates all the insults from inlaws and sucks upto it and in coming 200 episodes she will surely be winning Dadi Bua's heart 👍🏼 We will see some happy scenes of Dadi Bua refusing to eat her meal if Sona doesn't spoonfeed her Aadarsh Bahu Sona will win their hearts and even bring a change in everyone, will show the whole Dixit clan the true light of goodness and dharma thus winning the best Bahu of the year award 👏 Thus mahaan.

Ishwari - The GREATEST sacrifice of all - Giving away your favorite posession - your SON, the precious SON to someone else because unfortunately he wishes to spend his days and nights with another younger woman of his age 😭 In the love triangle, the woman lets go of her 'zid' and accepts the second woman in her boy's life 💔 From where did she get such stern attitude of 'saasdom' ? Of course from Dadi Bua. But she is no believer of ragging. Khoon ka badla no khoon ❤️ Rather she is just sooo sad to see Sona getting insulted time and again from Dadi Bua 😒 'Please don't say such things', 'why are you saying this to her' ? Rather say this to Sourabh and Elena 👍🏼 Or tell Sonakshi that you're nothing but my compulsion. 👏 Mahaan indeed. 😛

This show has become funny now 😆 The downfall began from destroying Ishwari's character, which led to Dev's downfall and then Sonakshi's downfall. Now to upgrade all of them at once, they bring Village Dadi Bua so that all Maa-Beta-Bahu can round up in a circle and cry on each other's shoulder and have victim 'pralaap'

Nonsense !

What a bang on post! I have been staying away from the forum and watching the show only for Shaheer and Erica. But what happened yesterday compelled me to rant. The mahaan syndrome that you've beautifully described also known as the 'hero complex' is something almost all of them suffer. Specially Ishwari. Though it is highly misplaced. But in this show, Dev is fond of playing the damsel in distress and his knight in shining armours are usually Sonakshi and his mommy. Yesterday's episode was a rude awakening for all of them.

But I found myself sitting there with a smug smile on my face through most of Sona -Dev's fight. Now, I chose this post to comment on coz I know you've read my FF: The Memory of Us. I remember your detailed review. Watching their fight yesterday, I was reminded of the time I wrote that fic. I knew this was coming. This is what happens when you don't deal with fundamental issues in your relationship. This is what happens when you shove things under the carpet. Hence, the smug smile.

But the thing that pissed me off was, in my fic I had mentioned that the separation track did not happen. That's why they couldn't deal with these issues and it all ended up affecting their married life. But in the show, we get a month long break up track, with Dev almost losing his sanity, and he STILL doesn't get it? How many times does he have to lose Sona to realise that his mother is insane? That she needs help. How can someone be this thick headed?! Telling your wife that he didn't question when her family insulted his mom is not how you calm your wife down, Dev. Not when she's raising valid questions. Your mother wouldn't have to bear those insults had you been a man and won her over on your own, without her help.

Sonakshi - You made your bed, darling. Now you gotta lie in it. I feel bad for you coz you have probably the best family in the world and you still chose this hell hole to spend your life in. But, love conquers all,eh? Well let me tell you something. Love doesn't conquer all. It conquers some things. But the other things? They beat the living crap outta love. I hope you don't have to realise this harsh truth the hard way!
