1. The show may be becoming negative/saas-bahu types and if that's the case we will know in a few days and some of us will stop watching the episodes
2. However, its quite possible that the serial remains true to its core - a love story where there is a mother with some issues
I am hoping its the 2nd.
Dev has never stood up for Sona his lover(except suddenly speaking up at muh dikhai). He only stood up for Dr Bose, his mother's nutritionist. Him and other characters have repeatedly said, "Sona is the only thing he as ever asked for himself" . He has always been the needy one in the relationship with a puppy face, a complex childhood-adolescence, been a provider to his family. There comes Sona, who needs nothing.. she is independent. She isn't complex.. she is predictable. She talks about love.. the kind of love that he hasn't been exposed to before. The one who validates his heart over head business decisions (20% loss at a factory etc etc). Neha and Dev think money is the solution to all problems. Their childhood experiences show that. Sona challenges that thinking and Dev falls in her love.
What did Sona like about Dev? He didn't tick any boxes as far as logic goes... Ritwick ticked those boxes. He was a Doctor, middle class, bengali, small family, no one expected her to cook etc etc.. they were equals. But the spark just wasn't there... Remember what she said to dada about how he quits his jobs.. that's the thing. She clicks with Dev. There is a spark. That SPARK is what will keep her going. I totally expect her to remain the giver in this relationship. The one who will bring clarity to his thoughts.
I actually went back and watched some old episodes and reminded myself that, that has always been their equation. I expect this saas bahu drama to continue while Sona does her thing(clear thinking, sensible talking and going weak in the knees when Dev comes close to kissing her) and Dev does his (puppy face, unclear thoughts and a hot husband)
Lets all stay hopeful
