Will try to write a long one.The problem with Ishwari trying to keep the pair separate is that its tacky. This constant direct and indirect reference to consummation by various characters is cheap and makes me uncomfortable. I totally expected a suhagrat episode but not such a long annoying track. I actually expected something more grown up.. "A panting shirtless dev with a beautiful Sona on his chest... Done and over with. They have consummated. Now lets move on to the original theme." "Or a Ms Nosey Elena & Dadi teasing Sona to spill the details and Sona shying away... Suhagraat dealt with... lets move on" Keep it grownup and funny and move on. Of course Sex is another shade of love.. Of course it will happen.. but why does it have to be so explicit? Dev & sona are enacting it so well. Supriya is acting fabulous. But the point is, never have they shown such stuff in this serial. Why now? We need to get rid of these heavy sarees, loud ILs and go back to being soft yet strong scenes.I dont expect a 5 minute suhagraat scene where Sona wears her nightwear and wraps herself in a golden shawl... eww... Hope they dont show that. The reference to Maine Pyar Kiya was enough. Seriously, I cant watch this with my dad or father in law or even older kids!That's what I loved about that pink saree sequence between dev & Sona before the breakup. It was sutble, surreal, sexy... Did they kiss... did they not kiss... did he remove her clothes... who cares.. I think they did.. you may think they did not.. It doesn't matter. The point of that sequence was he wooed his woman and sona loves her man.Please keep it cultured. Of course MILs like Ishwari exist. But why do they need to show this "Dev chora na" type stuff... yuck...Atleast in the cities, men today cutely hug their wives in front of their parents. This "kya dev..., idhar aao" type talk is so trashy when shown in the non-romantic style. I love the intimacy, but they dont need to show the mother getting insecure over bedroom scenes. Of course no one other than dev-sona know if they went full 9 yards or not. So why drag this topic like this? Obsessing over that is psychotic and that's what so many of us have taken a slight dislike to these episodes and charactersHave the Dixits gone back to eating Paranthas after Dr Bose left her job? I thought Sona would mention diet and Ishwari would again get all insecure and controlling. I thought Sona will try to change some grocery lists and that will upset Ish. When did Dev start drinking Chai? He drank coffee and juice as far as I recall. There is loads they can exploit to show the insecurity. I like how they are showing the common mistakes a new bahu makes... the mistakes a newly wed son makes. Just keep it decent.Dev working out, shirtless in his room, sona's payal - all strong yet decent stuff. Those dimly lit streets where they would stop by in their evening drives back home - was it not indication enough of what has and hasnt happened between the duo. Why make it so explicit now?The chit passing, the gift posting etc while is cute for M&B type thrill seeking audience, this serial has never been that type. All that used to happen but no one else would find out. Remember how that pink saree had arrived and no one even found out. Why make it so public now?The breakfast scene was way stronger. So much more decent for viewers yet aggravating for Ishwari. Ditto for the goodbye for office. The way Dev's eyes were searching for Sona, was again decent and very upsetting for an insecure mother. The lehenga vs benarsi saree was a great idea. They quickly killed it.That would be normal.. natural reaction from a mother.That is why the episode on Friday and then this 9 days of "alag rehena hoga (ewww)" is so annoying. My suspicion is Ishwari still wants Sona to sign the pre-nup before they consummate (if that is indeed a condition) or that we are heading into a nasty surrogacy track (where Dev sleeps with another woman and an ailing Sona spends the night in tears.)I love this serial. After a very long time I am hooked to something. I hope Sony can one day sell box sets of DVDs for Fans like me who watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S. decades after it wsa first aired.Please show decent adult grown up stuff folks. Not creepy stuff.
