1. neha incident - after her short stint at ishwari nivas, she should have understood that Neha is a very strong lady with a heavy burden of her bitter childhood. then how on earth can she imagine that neha will come over and have a chat with her. What neha needed the most was her space, there was no need for Sona to take tea for her and then become upset on the fact that neha does not even acknowledge her presence. sona needs to understand just because you feel neha is your nanad , she does not need to feel you as bhabhi and come running to you with open arms.
2. vicky incident - the opening statement of Dev that any experience of vicky can be of no use to them, pretty much sums up his opinion about vicky. even when vicky was taunting Dev to be big man, with a plush house, big car... blah blah blah,,,, dev did not respond. Ishwari already established the fact that the sense of entitlement from Vicky because he is Dev's brother is justified. they had a row and when Dev went to her room,he had a earful.
All he asked Sona was for some alone time. on the first night when sona said she needed space didn't dev back off? then why couldn't she do the same, why does she need Dev to discuss everything under the sun with her. any person will share something only when they feel like sharing. first of all, she does not know what was the conversation Ishwari and Dev had.
he very clearly conveyed that the only way Sona can help him was by leaving him alone for some time. She should have been sensible and left from there. there was no need for her to become the aadarsh wife at that point ...
3. Vicky - doesn't she know that vicky and maami bring in Ishwari as their trump card always?
what was new there? There was no need for her to argue with him, you know his character and very well know that they are going to ruin Dev's reputation and his business. instead of challenging vicky , you better focus your attention on Dev,Dev is going to have a one hell of life ahead as he will not be any position to say anything to vicky due to ishwari.
You want to become his strength,then first build your own strength. Your MIL already gave you a best advise. try to become best in what you already know instead of testing new waters.
GET THIS POINT STRAIGHT into your head Sona. god damn it, its only 5th day of your marriage, and you want EVERY ONE in the family to behave with you as if you are one of them!!!!!!!. Isn't it asking for way too much!!!!
even when we were kids and joined a new school all the 30-40 students of the class would not have become our friends within the first 7 days. and here we are talking about complex individuals who come with their own prejudices, egos and strong opinions.
TIME is the biggest element... there is a time and place for everything. until then no point cribbing.
