Hey guys,

So I see alot of debate going around about who was at fault and what not.
Quite honestly I'm not at all surprised or upset with Sona for not believing Dev.
Yes, anger and ego make people take shitty decisions which most almost always come to regret.
However, there is only so much one can take before losing their minds and rationality.
Dev made countless promises to Sona over time but barely kept any of them. Given how empty his words turn out to he half the time in face of actual situations it makes sense for Sona to not believe him. She's pissed of and hurt, trying to be strong but completely shattered inside. The way shades of reality that her love has shown have been harsh and downright painful.
I'm glad she finally stood up for herself and her family. He crossed all lines, broke whatever little there was left between them by asking her to leave.
As sad as it is, its reality. When people take someone's trust for granted it comes back to bite them at a time when they need it the most. She trusted him time and time again and he always disappointed her and its simply karma that when he was actually being honest for once, she didn't believe him. He is the one who pushed her to this point. The rest of the hooligans merely played a part in the who thing.

In terms of Dev. As sick as his character makes me feel overall, I can't help but pity him. I personally feel men generally don't have the kind of strength that women do and very rarely do we come across men who can balance their relationships in their family. Psychologically speaking, Dev has never been stable therefore I wasn't at all surprised that he couldn't balance his marriage and his relations or even see the blunt realities of his family and accept them when he saw them. He is the kind of man who I feel genuinely did try to make everyone happy but failed miserably because he simply doesn't know how to manage his own self and draw lines. Also because his family really really sucks and doesn't give a dime about his happiness. They take him for granted much like he took Sona for granted. A man can only do so much on his own, when pretty much all the odds are against him.

People who live for others and are selfless often end up letting things go in hopes that they will get better. (Dev and Sona both fit into this category). They keep giving people chances over and over again. It only takes a tragic and harsh wake up call, that essentially changes their world to stop giving a jack. I feel like he finally realised that they were being played in someway and since that someone was clearly from his family, he understood that Sonakshi would never really be happy with him. That they wouldn't be able to mend his relationship with her because people just won't let it happen and he doesn't want her to suffer anymore. See he isn't oblivious to her pain in my opinion. He knows that she's endured a lot in his house. I think he kept silent because he felt Sona understood him and his family and therefore by bringing things out to the surface it would dampen his family environment. The only place he was completely blindsided was his mother and I think that today to an extent he even understood that she would never accept Sona. Since he clearly can't let his mother go, he forced the person he truly loves the most in the world once again.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was the right thing to do. I'm simply saying that in some situations in life you make decisions feeling like they are the only option. Some said that he doesn't have the courage to fight. I don't think its about courage at all. It's more about responsibilities and duties. He is a responsible son therefore he will never abandon his mother even if she is wrong and he knows that. He's just not cut out that way. Knowing that there really is no hope for Sona in his family, i think he purposefully pushed her away because he doesn't want her to endure it anymore.

Personally speaking, this show may feel like its turned cliche and in small instances it really has but overall the CVs have stuck to reality. This shit really does happen in real life. I've personally Love really does't conquer all, especially after marriage. The moment a third person gets involved in a marital conflict, the marriage is over. Khalas. There is no going back. Unfortunately, unlike how we will see in the show, destiny rarely gives second chances. Parents and families out of insecurity and in some cases greed destroy their own in ways they can never recover from. It's really sad but true. Sometimes people you essentially have no relation with understand and care about you more than your 'real' relationships do. (Sona was that person for Dev.) Its not that they always do it out of malice and consciously. Many times its unconscious, misinformed, selfish decisions that in foresight are terrible but seem the best thing to do at the time.

As someone quite adeptly said in one the of posts, its everyone's fault and no ones at the same time. You can't singularly blame anyone. Everyone has a part to play, even circumstances. However Ishwari and Dev do have the biggest hand in it. The rest just used their vulnerabilities, and Sona's mistake were out of reaction for the most part. You can only be understanding and rational to an extent. Of course the CVs just also need to shake things up a bit so the drama is a necessity šŸ¤”


I think Dev won't forget the influence Sona had on his life. He can never go back to being the Dev he once was. I feel like there will be like a character switch in a way with Sona becoming the kind of person Dev was before he met her in a way. Serious, stern, no nonsense, etc. Whereas Dev clearly has chilled down. He'll stop giving a fish about anyone or anything, including his mother to an extent. I honestly doubt he will figure out Vicky's play in this, that's going to be a drama plot post leap. But i hope in a way he does realize that his family doesn't give a frack about him.

So yeah. I'm done for now. Apologies for the Long ramble. Clearly lost track somewhere in between.
Happy Weekend mates. šŸ‘šŸ¼

Edit.

Just to be clear, I don't particularly like Dev's character. Personally I would never want Sona to go back to him, ever. In fact I think she came to reality check quite late and should have left him ages ago. However, given that this is a TV show i really doubt that's going to happen. Dev will never truely change as a character so its lost hope therel. The guy will keep hurting her thinking he's making the right choice and he will never really understand the pain she's lived through in his house and because of him. But because I'm tired of how this show has become I'm looking forward to the new season.

Please that was harsh for insulting and humiliating Sona , making mockery of her feelings and love all Dev Dixit gets is life lessons. That too not fully according to ur post what next he needs to patch up and leave Sona third time for him to understand Vickky intention. Why should he get to b in a pedestal and get to learn life lesson by ruining an innocent girls life.

I'm not really sure if I understand your post but if you mean to say that I implied she should be together with him again then Clearly, I didn't make myself clear enough. I would never want Sona to go back to a guy like him. Yes, I pity him but realistically the guy sowed the seeds of his own destruction by taking his wife for granted and not realizing her worth. In her place I would have left him a long time ago.

I was analyzing what happened and Dev from my point of you, not siding with him. What he did was stupid and cliche as hell. The guy hasn't learned from his mistakes, I really doubt he ever really will. Not completely. I don't think he'll ever truly understand the utter misery and pain Sona had to deal with. She really did learn in the worst way possible that love isn't everything and how completely destructive it can be in a person's life.

However, seeing as this is a TV show its a given that they will get together again and I said that the CVs will leave the Vicky reveal for the new season. No where did I say anything about patching up or anything along those lines.

Hope I've made myself more clear this time. šŸ‘šŸ¼

Very interesting POV. And detailed one too...thank you :D

I have one request though...do not take Reality/realistic and KRPKAB in one sentence...What part of last three episodes reflected reality? It was worse than a typical soap as the CVs and makers sprinted to close the existing story to go where...we don't know ..

Now let me reply to one of the points there - character switch. This is a topic which actually fascinates me, lot of my favourite couples in novels/books/tele/movies have adapted this. I find this interesting because sometimes we don't realize how the partner is effecting you and in which way, more so when we have a live-in or married relationship with them. But the sub-conscious mind catches it. This makes a very slow and long term impact to both the characters as each of them adapts some nuisance from the other and after many days, sometimes it becomes like mirror image when you look right through your partner.

However, I don't think I can call it the same here for Dev. For Sona, yes it is true. The deeper the love is, the greater the impact on your partner on yourself is. While Sona has quite adapted Dev's no-nonsense unemotional attribute towards life, Dev could not. I would be happy though if he can.


Being casanove/flirt/womanizer is not really relaxing. Sonakshi had strong morals, she wasn't this carefree, not giving an eff about anything type. She and Dev, although very different exterior, but shared a basic line of attribute - sense of duty. Sona had always been dutiful, the sole bread-earner for her family for quite a period of time. Girl with middle class background face more struggle than a rich brat who had to give up their morality to rise the ladder of success. Sonakshi was always down-to-earth and had her values in tact. She was very strong and level-headed girl. But Dev's love being terribly weak and shallow, Dev had read only the exterior of Sonakshi Bose and thus has become a wanna-be Sona copying her happy-go-lucky nature. He might think Sona is made of this shallow free-bird without caring for anyone, but he misread it. Dev is just a lost soul who adapts to ride from one woman to another woman which is a symbol of escapism, not relaxing. All Dev is going to do is running from himself.


Although I must say, out of all character transformation over the period of separation in real life/novels/shows/movies, this I find the most interesting who, unaware of his parental status, has all of a sudden becomes a womanizer šŸ˜†. I cannot wait to study this transformation now, I mean from being one-woman-man deeply madly in love (as he claimed) to angry-non-believer is relatable, but newfound fantasy of finding peace in every woman's arms is quite amusing to me 🤣. What kind of emotion in subconscious mind could trigger it ? Any guesses ? I am truly lost šŸ˜†. Anger, guilt, helplessness or just TOO happy to get rid of the trouble in his life to choose between Sona and Maa ? šŸ˜†

I agree with your last line. He must have inbuilt such desires which was suppressed in the pretex of his upbringing. Once that tussle between mom and wife was removed. He has become free bird. You cannot pretend and feign sleeping around. You cannot do that in any pretext punishment or whatsoever.
I just hate CV they killed my Dev who despite his flaws was lovable and romantisizable. Seeing his character transformation girls would b skeptics to choose their partner.

I meant that the situation was realistic in a way. I've seen stuff like this happen in real life too but its basically a by product of bigger and deeper issues. People like Ishwari, Vicky and RR do exist in real life. Manipulative and selfish. People like the latter two use other people's insecurities for their own greed.

In terms of Dev and Sona, there was so much between them already and they're both really wrung out in every way. High, volatile emotions and then third party interference is a recipe for disaster.

I do agree that the reality wasn't shown realistically. They did it way over the top. The charm of this show was in the simplicity and understated-ness of its scene. That clearly wasn't there and therefore in part I was thrown back into a deja vu of multiple Ekta Scenes along the same line.
