Brilliant post, as always 👏

I have been thinking on similar lines about sonakshi ever since I saw today's episode, but could not articulate it. In fact, I don't think I could have expressed it so aptly the way you did.

My observations today:

I think between yesterday and today, Sona has clearly understood Dev, his level of obsession of keeping his mother's desires paramount and her standing in his life.

She feels trapped in his love, wants to live that rosie-dreamy-pink life she wanted to, but can clearly see that it's not going anywhere. Sona has probably reached that penultimate point where there is no point of return given she has always been an overachiever in life and never gives up.

With Dev and ishwari too, she has reached a point where she just wants to get to a safe zone 'survival of the fittest' so that she is not out of this value chain.

Why she is doomed to this level is difficult to answer but I have some may be's:

1) Sona truly, madly and blindly loves Dev - and she wants to be loved back, even if it means broken promises, lies explained with right/wrong/logical/illogical reasons and /or ignoring taunts from anyone outside her bedroom partner.

2) She feels that noone will love her more than Dev ever.

3) Most importantly, Her parents have been supportive, but haven't given her a stick for simply bearing and not protesting against atrocities of the dixits. This has led her to a point where she is always wrestling to 'somehow make it work' and adjust to no end.

I still remember that day when Asha (in her disappointment) said 'kya yeh meri shona hai?, that jolted sonakshi and instilled instant confidence in her and she went back in her solid form of not being love lorn but a self respecting woman. She needs that dose again.

Sorry this has been too long, but I got carried away with your very interesting post. Hope I made some sense. 😊

Great observation since I am not watching and just skimming thru the WU maybe I am missing the Nuances that you have written

You have a point with the maybe's but as a woman I am so disgusted and saddened with the turn of events that even the maybe are not good enough anymore hope you understand what I am trying to say

Sorry this has been too long, but I got carried away with your very interesting post. Hope I made some sense. 😊

You are making perfect sense. I was not going to make a topic but I always like to see if there is a different POV that I may have missed because as I see it these writers are writers by profession so I was just giving them some benefit of doubt without taking sides but as a woman/mother and wife what they are portraying is beyond me . Thanks for always taking the time to reply to my posts..btw do you live in the US?

Exactly.. It's become a joke now.. Ishwari is sending her dedicated employees onsite on an important mission impossible target.. She will expect the performance report on their return and Dev will happily produce a detailed analysis report of their mission accomplished.. 🤣

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
