My POV:

What is family? and how important is pleasing the whole family when it is a personal issue just between husband and wife?

Having a child ( or not having one) is a very very personal thing between two people it is as intimate as it can get between a husband and a wife so what role does family play in this equation? Aren't family ( extended ) supposed to be a support system and not the system itself?. So an intimate decision like having a child or unable to have one how does the role of a mother of the husband or the mother of the wife come into play and should it?

I don't think having a child is completely personal thing especially in India.. Families are much more involved, that our lifestyle. Unable to have a child does affect the family.. They should share their pain with their parents, that's what family is for. Only a couple does not make a family, the support system cannot support unless it is a part of the system.
Not that I am supporting Eshwari or her particular brand of "love", but you don't get to choose your family. Need to just learn to love the family you have got.

I am grappling with this track and am unable to come to terms with it because as I see it this track is only between Dev and Sona and their happiness or lack thereof, where does Easwari's happiness come in here ? and why is it important for Dev to make sure his mother is happy so much so he is hellbent on jeopardizing his relationship to a woman he claims he loves?
Eshwari's happiness is important to Dev. I get your point that this track should have been about infertility and its impact on the couple. But I guess the show is about the dynamics between the trio and how it changes with the couple's love, marriage and infertility and etc., Dev is not being very wise with all the lies, but I can still understand his reasons and empathise with the character.

isn't it devastating for him that he may never have a child with the woman he loves?
I think he has had a long time to deal with the infertility already. Remember how impacted he was during the Sangeet.

What is different about this mother son duo ( other than the hardships they have faced) . So as a Mother why wouldn't Easwari want her son to be happy knowing well that Sona is his happiness. So where exactly are they taking this story and what role does Sona have in Dev's life other than the obvious one? Where is Sona's devastation in all this? why is it being addressed as Easwari's loss?

If Eshwari is happy knowing that Sona is her son's happiness, there is no need for the show. Like Eshwari says, she knows this in her brain but takes time for it to reach her heart.

I wish someone would enlighten me because this whole track of infertility to bring out the dynamics between Easwari, Dev and Sona saddens me as a mother/ wife and a woman and I certainly did not sign up for this show to feel sad or angry.


I know infertility is very sensitive and painful topic, but I don't think the show is about infertility and I dont think they would be able to dedicate much time or space for it. It would be nice if they can bring it to a decent closure.

I would like for Eshwari to realise the reasons behind Dev's lies, understand her son can never be happy unless she is happy and he would continue to do to crazy stuff until she stops being crazy.

Amen to this . I only wish they would not have chosen this way to go to show Easwari's insecurity

Thanks again for penning your thoughts!

Precisely my question as well. Who is the Mother here(or not)? Who might never be able to become mother?

Ishwari or Sona?

Sona is not pregnant. But whose happiness do we care about? Ishwari's.
Sona's feelings? - Does she even have feelings? Bhad mein gai Sona.
Sona may never become Mother. Who do we think will be shattered? Ishwari.
Sona's feelings? - Is she human? Khadde mein dalo Sona ko.

Who can't be grandmother to Dev's kid? - Ishwari. (Though she still can be grandmother to her other kids' kids. But ignore her other grand kids just like she ignores them.)

Sona can never be a mother. Forget about being a grandmother.
But who do we cry for? - Ishwari.
Who gets to be naaraz? - Ishwari.
Who do we plead to forgive us? - Ishwari.

Every freakin thing is about Ishwari. The same Ishwari who has 4 kids despite being so poor. They don't even have enough Sugar for Chai, still She & her husband produces another one. The great Mahaan Ishwari jo apni kamnao pe control na kar saki. The same woman who wants her DIL to have 9 days vrat & not go near her son. What greatness.👏 I bow down to her & makers!

This show has crossed all levels of pathetic. No one cares for the woman.. who gets to know she was lied about being Mother. No one gives shit that she might not even have one of her own. But let's all cry for her highness Ishwari!

All valid questions and I find myself asking them too. I absolutely hate it that ishwari's wants thoughts desire happiness is supreme to devakshi. Maybe more becoz ishwari being happy with them or not will decide the future of devakshi 🤢
Why nobody is thinking what sona must b going through????? Here again the most hurt is ishu, most betrayed is ishu, right to show anger is ishu's. Honestly its very infuriating. Sona too, now I think she should just stop caring about anyone in dixit house and just concentrate on herself. My blood is boiling seeing all this pleading,manoafying of devakshi to ishwari. When will ishwari think about devakshi????? When will devakshi think about themselves?????? Ufff😡

This show has become a caricature of its first 100 episodes.
I have decided never to try any soap with a MIL character in it, because she becomes the central character eventually. No matter how many "grey" deeds she does, she will be painted white by the end. Of course the leads won't even romance because of MIL

So why bother with such soaps in the hope that they will show some sensible stuff and be socially responsible? I have watched just a 5 min of the show after more than a week and couldn't continue with this shit.

Someone needs to enlighten Ishwari that the whole universe doesn't revolve around her. Even if she doesn't really love Sona can she for a few minutes think about the pain her own son is going through.
Instead of the couple grieving and consoling each other it has become a case of keeping mummy happy.

Sonakshi I can understand as Dev himself in his stupidly has instilled this insecurity in her. First the breakup and then never shutting his family's gutter mouth.

In fact he would deserve it if Sonakshi leaves him courtesy dictates of ishwari. This guy really needs to learn the side effects of mindless devotion.

The prenup is the time bomb which will aid in this.

They say price has to be paid for every karma. It's time for God to serve him a well deserved lesson.

I hope dev supporting her happens soon. Already I feel people are losing interest in the show & it's hard to identify with sona one of the really nicely written characters! Now everybody only wants to please ish. That has becomes devakshi life goal! It's annoying when they don't explore the devastation felt by sona but quickly jump onto ishs disappointment! Matajee has to be kept happy at all costs.

I hope bijoy comes & gives a piece of his mind to dev in front of the dixits.

Hopefully this track leads to dev confronting his mother but pigs can fly too!

I also want this track to be the catalyst for Dev to understand the true face of Ishwari. It would have been great if the makers had planned it as a track where Ishwari ultimately loses her son and understands the cost of her insecurity and cheapness.

I had a lot of hopes on the prenuptial but with the change of writers can't say anything
