Anisa, you mentioned one valid point! Yes, Dev truly loves Sona! It isn't ghe calf love Vicky sported initially nor one that stemmed from an infatuation. In fact, it was quite the reverse! Initially, boyh were loggerheads at each other owing to their true nature and then came the understanding, companionship, friendship and with it the realization of a mature love! This was for both dev and Sona!
Both of them had their own shortcomings!
Sona always proclaimed to be know-it-all-because-my-baba-raised-me-well whereas Dev was the I-am-The-Dev-Dixit-so-I-get-what-I-want kind of guy.
He actually broke the mould of a mam's biy when he realized his true feelings for Sona!
All along their courtship and married life, yes, he did not openly give Sona the much needed trust probably because he felt she understood his predicament! After all, here is a man who severed all ties with her and resorted to a bottle and then became a stalker all because his beloved revered mother was against Sona.
So, Sona knew of his cons when she joined him in the sacred union of matrimony.
And in spite of him repeatedly saying he cares only for her andhow even in that last moment, him almost begging her to forget all and that he would make everything all right, she decides to judge him and consider him of not trusting her so as to sign a pre-nup!
Maybe that is what rankles him! Ok, GKB constantly belittled Sona but what do you do when dogs bark? You ignore! If you yell back at them, you go to their level. And i am sure Sona too did not take GKB's constant tirades to heart and just let them go as mere nuisance!
Eashwari - another big fish in the ocean who has the power aka tears to blackmail her son so he could jump on her commands so her daughters can live forever in the lap of luxury just because they were destitute once upon a time!
In South India, where I am originally from, there is a practice among some to breed a lamb/chicken so it can be sacrificed at the altar!
Eashwari did exactly that! She spared no expense (that she could) even at the expense of her other kids and openly favored her Dev so he could succeed in life, drumming the fact into him from childhood that he is and will be the sole breadwinner of her entire clan! He is and was the sacrificial lamb so others could benefit and she can repay her ehsaan to her brother and his family!
She did not love Dev because he is the first born but because he has conformed to her moulding and her ROI was bang on the dot!
Blame Sona when she entered and shook that capital investment! What if her daughters were deprived of that 5M?
On the other hand, Bijoy had his faults as well. When Dev accepted or even wanted Sona never to change for him, why did the dad-daughter wanted to change him?
Ok, he went berserk in trying to arrange for fertility treatment unknown to Sona but wasn't Sona already aware of his stalking nature? All this is food for our thought!
So in the end, life is a out accepting each other with their good and bad! Sona did not even give the BOD to Dev, fully knowingVicky's character! That is what broke Dev's trust in Sona and her love for him!
And for her, his constant temp solutions and her ego in restoring her dad's pride was the final straw that broke their marriage!
Well, they needed a cause for separation, kid and leap!
To me, the last week pre-leap appeared too fast and too contrived where the lead characters behaved completely unlike their true selves!
Anyway, things seem intriguing now! Let us sit back, relax and watch!
As much as I love the new song, i still want the old one!
