Peripeteia is a sudden or unexpected reversal of circumstances the 'point of no return'.

This show I think is at that juncture now. In order for this show to move to its finale Easwari's insecurities and her true face has to come out . I think the makers instead of taking a more subtle route to achieve this in what was once a beautiful show chose to take this dramatic route. And in the process in my opinion literally killed both their Hero and the Heroine. But , nevertheless this is their story and they chose to portray it this way.

To Quote- Haruki Murakami

In everybody's life there's a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can't go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That's how we survive."

Here it remains to be seen whether Sona accepts the fact that Dev will always put Easwari first no matter what and live with that or decide to move on out of this relationship.

It remains to be seen whether Dev will accept the fact his mothers needs will always come first so he cannot do justice to Sona and the marriage and live with the fact or change things around

I am not going to speak about Easwari the character here because even though she and her supposed insecurities are the catalyst to all of this The marriage is between Dev and Sona and they have to decide if they want a marriage or out? and if they want a marriage things certainly needs to change as they have reached a POINT OF NO RETURN

Sabita first sorry for not replying to you on my post that day as suddenly got unwell.

As you rightly said, the slap is going to be the point of no return. But will it be okay for Sona to agree to be a second grade citizen in devs life? She is being treated like a slave.

As you rightly said, at least this will make Sona realise Dev's true character or in other words his weak and spineless character.

And if in spite of this she agrees to continue in the relationship, then she is not worth discussing forget liking.

A woman who is that desperate for a man's love that she is ready to forego not only her own but also her parents self respect, is just not worth it.

Yes she is not worth discussing but it is her life and if she chose to live that way let her but no sympathies from me

AMEN

Well dev and ishwari are a package deal. Until and unless ishwari really realises her obsession with dev a disease and not glorified motherhood nothings is gonna change in this equation and the only solution that is gonna remain is sona seeking divorce from dev becoz living together with looming figure of ishu around is worse than living in jail, I feel.

I think dev is never gonna have courage to stand up to his mother in sober state, I would love to be proven wrong as I really want to see dev as an adult.

Marriage is between dev and sona but whether by default, or by their own mistake ishwari is an integral part of their marriage.

Dev and ishwari are already at a point of no return and now if sona becomes so understanding and goes back to dev after slapgate then she is gone to the point of no return

Excellent point, Sabita. Here's my take.

Sonakshi has put up with a lot of degradation for Dev. But the question arises that is it worth it?

When the man for whom you are putting up with humiliation, insult and degradation takes you for granted, you know that you have no value to him beyond what he can get you to do for him.

Because there's a big difference in value and price.

A price a man pays when he thinks that he can buy a woman's loyalty and love in exchange of little favours, romantic drivel in private or little kindness which most of the time goes longer way with women.

But a man values a woman when he stands up for her honour in public, presents her as his other half - his team mate, and puts himself in her shoes and tries to understand where her happiness and sorrows lie.

One of the thing my husband and I often tell each other, "I am your no. 1 cheerleader."

It might sound strange. But the reason we say it because we are a team. When we work together, we are team mates, equal partners. But we don't always work at the same thing at the same time. At that time, when I am taking an exam or my husband is preparing for a busy meeting, we are each other's cheering squad. We got each other's back. Whether that means after a 12 hours day, he would cook me a dinner and clean up so that I can continue my studies or even after a tiring day, I would give him a back massage to relax him so that we both can go back the next day re-energised and ready to face the world.

But Dev never had Sonakshi's back. He never played as a team mate. Instead he always treated Sonakshi as a player treats his favourite bat which he takes out only when he wants to play and keeps in the locker the rest of the time. This is not how one treats a person they claim to love. That's how people treat someone whom they consider as convenience.

In fiction, especially in that fiction where one deals with flawed characters, one gets to see the direst of flaws in the protagonist closer to the beginnings, as the rest of the work will become his journey to become a better man/woman. The journey is gradual but progressive.

And here we have Dev, our flawed protagonist, who becomes worse as time goes by as he continues to don darker and darker shades of personality.

I have no problem with dark characters...I love Haruki Murakami and Yukio Mishima. I know what darkness means.

But the makers of KRPKAB seem absolutely confused about charectrerication. If they wish to show Dev as the dark character, so be it. But when his actions are dark and disturbing and yet they want to portray him as the innocent lost man...it doesn't gel, work and hence the whole thing becomes a bloody mess.

I am deeply disturbed by the current trend.

If my man slapped my father...I will never forgive him. Period.

Also, a man capable of slapping my father will be perfectly capable of slapping me one day too..if for some reason I don't agree with him or he happens to be become that angry over a heated argument or I happened to insult his mother or or something he happened to deeply care about.

But will the makers of KRPKAB take that route where a physically abusive man can abuse anybody physically? No, they won't. So, what the hell are they doing?

Sona is badly screwed up ever since she entered Dixit household. She deserves every insult...every horrid thing coming her way if she decides to stick around. Period!

Thanks Tia. All I can ask is Does Sona value herself ? and what is the value she places on herself?. If all she wants is to take what Dev gives her and is happy with that because for some strange reason she understands him she will stay in the marriage. The bottom line is not what you and me want out of a marriage it is what Sona the character wants and if she just wants half measures that is what she will get and I guess she will be happy with it..

P.S looks like Sona is ok with being you know what for Dev I rest my case

Do I agree with that H***no but it is her life and she chooses to live it this way. That is why the quote because if all you wanted to is survive you will.

Kudos to your husband and you for being cheerleaders to each other

This to me is flawed storytelling especially as I see it the story is at the end or maybe we misjudged and the story is just beginning only the makers can tell us that .

I have no problem with dark characters...I love Haruki Murakami and Yukio Mishima. I know what darkness means.

I do not like the darkness in Haruki but sometimes that is the grave truth. I have personally seen woman who just keep going back to their abuser as they feel they dont deserve anything more and in this case I think Dev has been abusive not physically but emotionally towards Sona ..again this is just my take

But the makers of KRPKAB seem absolutely confused about charectrerication. If they wish to show Dev as the dark character, so be it. But when his actions are dark and disturbing and yet they want to portray him as the innocent lost man...it doesn't gel, work and hence the whole thing becomes a bloody mess.

AMEN ..That to me is the POINT OF NO RETURN how can you even surmount something like that?

Also, a man capable of slapping my father will be perfectly capable of slapping me one day too..if for some reason I don't agree with him or he happens to be become that angry over a heated argument or I happened to insult his mother or or something he happened to deeply care about.

As to what the HELL they are doing? I have no clue and frankly dont give a Damn

After watching today's episode, feeling that there no peripetia in serial world, especially in this show.

I am surprised to see that in today's episode everything is solved and all seems to happy, no hurt nothing.😕

In future episodes also it will be the same case, even after Dev's slap to Bijoy there will be no difference. Totally disconnected and no expectations, so no worries, let them show whatever they want. lol.

Excellent point. I wrote something similar in Rithu's post about why Sona always asks and takes Asha's advice? Why she never consults her father or grandmother. Because she doesn't want advice, she wants validation and Asha validates her decision which she already taken. Trust me on this, if Asha even once told her to leave Dev, gather what self-respect she has and move on, she'd never go to her for advice again.
