MINI-ANALYSIS: I'm actually with Ishwari on this one. 🤔
Sona comes from an environment where she is used to being praised for whatever she does, and hearing that she is a special snowflake. Ishwari understands this, but makes it clear that this is not that environment. Bua-dadi is not going to give Sona a pat on the back for trying and send her on her way, she is going to blow this up into a crisis and use it to demean their household and the way it works. It may not seem like a big deal to those of us who are more familiar with Sona's lifestyle, but to Ishwari, this is her life's work on the line. This household is the company she founded from scratch and raised to success. And in this system, the success of the company is based on the correct observations of rituals, and domestic duties. Dev is the face of this company and any insult to him is an insult to the entire institution.
Sona is a brand new employee, who has yet to learn her way around. In no company would you allow your newest employee to prepare a presentation for your most important and most sensitive client, with whom you have spent years, painstakingly building a relationship. Flip the situation to an office setting, and imagine that Buadadi is a foreign delegate who is very particular about her language and culture. As the manager, would you send someone who has to use google translate to conduct the meeting, even if the client asked for them? Would take such a huge risk with the goodwill you've built up just to ease the conscience of your employee, and indulge their enthusiasm? It makes much more sense to handle this yourself, somehow or the other, and then use opportunities where less is at stake to give the new trainee work experience.
Buadadi is here just for a few days, and it means a lot to Ishwari not to incite her disapproval. What is interesting is that she sees BD as an outsider and Sona now as part of the household, for better or worse. It shows that whatever issues she may have with Sona within their household, she will stand and defend her, as part of the household, from any outsider.
BIG COMPLAINT: WHY IS SONA STILL USING 'AAP' for DEV?!
I have been whining about this since the confession, and held back any concerns because they were both transitioning. But now they seem to have settled, with Dev making the transition to 'tum' and Sona conveniently neglecting to do the same. She used 'tum' for Ritwick, so what's the deal? It doesn't suit the nature of Dev and Sona's relationship and it bothers me every time. 😡
