Wohooo look who is here 🤪 am humbled Sam... finally a post worth for your response 😳First, I have to say that *you* have been that light in the dark so many times on this forum. When it seems to be overflowing with negativity, you bring that much needed perspective and maturity to the analysis of show and characters! 👏 While I agree that we shouldn't condone wrong actions or behaviour in the name of fiction, I also believe that the role of fiction is not just to preach what is "right" (after all, that is entirely subjective) but to hold up a mirror to our society so we can look at it from a different perspective, and think critically about ourselves and the choices we make. To me, despite some small flaws here and there, that is precisely what this show does, and that is why we praise its realism. It's not because we are any less disapproving of Ishwari's manipulation, or Dev's outburst, or Sona's overzealousness to fit in, but because they give us a different vantage point from which to think about how these relationships work, and perhaps to apply that fresh perspective to our own lives. At least, that is how I like to think of it.Okay lecture done.😆Thank you, feeling special especially when it is coming from a mature and spot on writer like yourselves😳 You are absolutely right but the problem here is majority of viewers doesn't want to see that mirror leave alone perspectives with unfortunately leaving very few of us connecting to each and every thing they portray. With the constant nagging and disproval of each track and the downfall of TRPs, am scared we might even loose this fiction of reality !! Am very curious to see the solution for this realistic problem but if that should be shown undisturbed, I don't mind them giving lollipops with masked harsh realities😳Am always open for your classes so won't mind the lectures 😆
🥱I loved your analysis of the episode as well!I completely agree that Dev has grown a lot since the reconciliation, and their subsequent marriage. I don't think he is getting enough credit for how vigilant he is about Ishwari's attitude towards Sona, compared to how blind he was pre-breakuk-up. Unfortunately, he didn't anticipate that the person he would have to protect Sona most from was herself! As I have said in other posts, Sona is still nursing the scars of the break-up and hasn't learned to trust Dev (I don't think she trusted him before the breakup either, but that is a different story). That is the major piece of the puzzle she is missing in her assessment of the situation, and until she communicates clearly to Dev that she is scared and he communicates clearly why things are different between him and Ishwari after the break-up, they will continue to have these fights that scrape the surface.Very true, Dev's amazing growth after marriage is given a blind eye but he is being given enough flak for the last episode😆 Sona will never let go of that fear until she opens up to Dev as you stated but it needs Dev's growth too. When both opens up their insecurities , thats going to be the final step of completing this family !When Dev said, "it's not about you," I think he was right. The conflict about Vicky's post arose from issues and experiences that went way back before Sona became part of this family, and Dev became the man who is part of the Dev and Sona relationship. Ishwari's disappointment and anger was with Dev for forgetting those things and getting carried away in Sona's black and white suggestion, as though they were a normal family, and Dev a normal CEO. It had nothing to do with Sona herself, the way I see it, and since marriage, Ishwari has been least concerned with Sona, but for the times Sona herself forces her way into her line of vision. Ishwari's exclusion is not through meanness or pushing Sona out... it's through not letting her in in the first place.BANG ON !! I dont want to add anything to spoil this 😆
