I agree wth you that Vicky is jealous of Dev for two reasons

a) for what Dev is-- an extremely successful person

b)for what Dev got as his life partner

We have seen that Vicky is after Sona since starting.

I remember his dialogue when Sona refused him once ..."Agar Sushmita sen nahi to Riya sen sen hi sahi'.. he was referring to Bengalan sisters(Sona and Elena) here.

So it is quiet possible that he married Elena to take revenge or to take take Sona's refusal as a challenge.

we will figure that out in coming episodes.

to your last point:-

Neha(having seen DevSona romance in garden) should understand that money doesn't bring happiness always.

Presence of your loved ones does.

I don't think you are over-analysing at all. In fact, if you think back, their shared experience of being overshadowed by Sona and Dev respectively, was the first thing that broke the ice for Elena and Vicky's friendship, and the first genuine conversation Elena allowed. The resentment they share for their goody-two-shoes cousins, to whom they were always compared, is the foundation of their relationship. So I think what you have written about Vicky applies to Elena as well. She wanted what Sona has: the respect she gets as an adult in the family, her unlikely, tumultuous love story, and her perceived fairytale ending.

But what both of these immature kids are missing is the work that Dev and Sona put into what they have, both as individuals and together. If the Boses take Sona seriously, and respect her, it is because she has taken the entire financial burden of the family on her shoulders both before and after marriage, and protects her relationships fiercely. Long before Bijoy stormed in with his "bhatija" strategy, she had taken care of the aunty issue, making her stance clear to both Dev and Ishwari, and defended Asha's feelings. Saurabh's unemployment was a huge concern for the family, but she swooped in and found a solution that allowed him to pursue the kind of work he is interested in, without hurting his pride. And while her love story may have looked glamourous to Elena, only Sona and Dev know what they have gone through to be together today.

That's why the room thing didn't bother me that much (even though the physical reality of it is quite gross). Like Dev used to say when people warned him about losses in his business: I built this step by step and if need be, I can do it again. That confidence and calm that comes with knowing the hard work you have put in is precisely what sets Sona and Dev's relationship apart from Vicky and Elena, who have taken nothing but shortcuts. None of what they have now, including Dev and Sona's room, is something they built from the ground up, so they will never be able to get what they want out of it.

Honestly, I loved today's episode because Sona and Dev had the last laugh, literally 😆 Once their anger cooled, they were like "sure, why not? Pass the popcorn!" Elena and Vicky have already written their own punishment into their future. Elena -- photographer, literature-lover, and social butterfly -- has bound herself to Vicky -- entitled, undereducated, barely employed, monolingual sexist. That ridiculousness of their relationship was visible even in their supposedly lovey-dovey interaction today. Everyone is making these false equivalencies between the two couples but time will show how different they really are. Vicky and Elena need not only what is given to them, but what isn't rightfully theirs in order to be happy. Sona and Dev, in between all the interruptions, with people constantly throwing water on their romance (couldn't resist!), find ways to be happy with each other. yest

Your analysis is on the dot.. From the beginning, Vickky has wanted what Dev has without putting the effort. He thinks he can take shortcut and by lies get what Dev has. He thinks it will make him a "bada aadmi".

In Mahabharatha, there is a quote -- "Dharmo rakshati rakhshitaha". It means that those who protect the dharma, dharma will protect them. It is true ... The karma works and based on the things we do, it either becomes blessings or curses in disguise. Dev and Sonakshi are protected by this karma. Hence they are truly happy.😊

Vickky might swindle Dev even more and Elena might not correct Vickky and all thosee bad things can happen. But Dev has the brains to gain those back, Vickky has none. Right now Vickky has started to cut the branch he is sitting on without really thinking of the consequences. He thinks that no one will be able to figure out his plans and actions. That he will get away all the time. But life does not happen that way. It always comes back and when it does, you better watch out...

I think the lamp in the aarti thaali going off and Sonakshi relighting it is special significance. Once that attraction between Vickky and Eleena subsides, they will be in trouble. It will be Sonakshi who will help them at that time and show them the right path including GKB...

Looking forward to seeing the story unfold...

</font>

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" color="#000066">My two cents worth. I think the creatives are trying to showcase Selfishness versus Selflessness.</font>

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" color="#000066">Here we have two couples Dev and Sona who are Selfless they believe others happiness are more important than theirs and then we have Elena and Vicky the Selfish couple who do not care for anybody and feel that they are important than others.</font>

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" color="#000066">When the story of Vicky and Elena emerged I was not sure where the creatives were going with it, but I think I understand now maybe it is to show the stark differences between the two couples even though Sona and Elena may have been brought up the same way and Vicky and Dev to some extent the same both coddled by their mothers.</font>

<font color="#000066"><font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif">But the differences are, in the case of Dev he lets his mother make the decisions because of his deep love and respect and almost reverence to her but Vicky though is pampered by his mother just uses her.</font>Elena and Sona had the same loving family in the Bose's but one took the selfish route to find her happiness and Sona took the selfless route.</font>

<font color="#000066"><font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif">I think in this journey of contrasts though Dev and Sona may face a lot of issues but will come out stronger and Elena and Vicky marriage may crumble.</font>And the lesson that Dev and Sona may learn is Life can't be lived dualistically they have to also watch out for themselves in order to get balance a little bit of selfishness is also necessary .</font>

I don't believe you are over analysing at all and I completely agree with you.Chalk and cheese do not begin to define the difference between Dev-Vicky, Sona-Elena ...

Just to provide a diffevent analogy that isn't already done and dusted...Dev and Vicky are like two neighbouring nations.. Dev is like the hegemony in the region (say India in South Asia, China in Asia or US in the west etc) and Vicky is like one of the smaller nations in the same region where Dev is the hegemony.

The problems with politics in smaller nations is that every discussion related to their own sovereign country will feature the stance of the the bigger nation, approval of the bigger nation and from time to time financial/economic help from the big brother in the region.

Vicky is the same. He is minuscule (almost a nobody, if it wasn't for mamaji who helped Dixits in their time of need) in the larger picture for Dev. I feel it is cheapening at some level to compare Vicky with Dev ... actually at various levels. Excluding the recent episodes (where Dev backtracked on calling Asha Ma,, ditching on Sona's birthday and the following incidents), Dev Dixit is a loving, emotional, responsible son, brother, nephew, son-in-law and the most amazing lover and sweet and hot husband.)

I am not condoning Dev's mistakes. His mistakes are his learning curve. And so are Sona's.

But Vikki and Elena are not even the palest version of Dev-Sona. To put it bluntly...they are wanna be Dev-Sona, seeking a love story for themselves that isn't as deep, selfless and pure.

As for Dev and Sona, their love for one another is so pure and complete that nothing dampens it. Not Vikki nor Neha. They are too good!

P.S - Barring the last month when the CVs butchered Dev's character, I wouldn't call Dev spineless and I wouldn't give Vikki's spine for standing up to his mother too much significance". Because Vikki's spine is right now resting on Dev's bed and only because he manipulated the situation like the cheat/theif/ he is.

I'm probably going to get hit across the head for suggesting this, but the expression on Sona's face when she re-lit that lamp reminded me so much of Ishwari's reaction
