You always come up with the best explanation... 👏 I absolutely agree. Sympathy votes pour in on weak, pathetic people, but the people who seem strong, no one wants to find out what price they might have paid for that strength. How someone had to loose her husband, her love insulted and ridiculed, thrown on the street, in neck-deep debt, her parents humiliated and with no retirement savings and income because of her and pregnant on top of everything must have coped. How they won't even have had time to cry because they have every single person's responsibility on their shoulder including a new born baby.
I won't wish that kind of burden on any new mother. Giving birth to a child when all hopes were lost should have been celebrated by both family pampering the new mother, her husband showering love on her and both of them helping each other to learn how to take care of a baby.
Sonakshi didn't have that. Yet she coped. No one wondered how. They were just more interested why she didn't do the "right thing" for the man who never did the "right thing" for her. How many of us will think about the person who hurt us the most and what's their right when they're responsible for our and our family's misery?
When Dev was blocking Ritwik's loan, no one said why he didn't do the right thing and either marry Sonakshi or let her go? No, they were relishing "Dev ki Deewangi" which is basically not the "right thing" and he wasn't even in desperate situation.
Yet, because Ishwari and Dev whines and blames everyone and basically weak characters, sympathy pours in. Everyone is so sad for their poverty. But no one is concerned for all the people whom Dev brought into poverty by taking away their livelihood or dreams for whatever personal reasons because well, he was doing it for his family.
So when Dev does morally and ethically wrong deeds, people try to look for his intentions with a magnifying glass and fine tooth comb, but when Sonakshi tried to protect her family, she should be crucified. Keep in mind, we still haven't seen how Sonakshi coped after the break up. We just saw how Dev coped. But who cares? The jury is always ready to pass judgement on Sonakshi.

Don't know about the hero-heroine percentage distribution but I sure think the weaker the character gets, the more the support it gets.. TRP audience love to sympathize with the crying ones thus supporting them.. Ish and Dev will never come out of that pitiful state making them the more relatable TRP elements.. And the more stronger Sona gets the more her mistakes get highlighted.. Remember with great power comes great responsibility thus with great strength comes great ownership.. May be once Sona gets into the need to be supported there they will make her weak again to get the audience sympathy for her.. 😆
