Each to his own. If it was me, I would do exactly what Sona did. I wouldn't give two hoots about a man who kicked me out. Whatever the situation, he didn't stop her when she left his house.

This is a joke: his mum comes and tells him Sonakshi's family have been kicked out of their home and he should decide between his family and Sonakshi's. What does Dev do? He gives the document to Vicky to destroy and sits and mops with a drink. Did he ask to be driven to Sona's family so he can fix the situation. No, shamelessly he waited till Sona came searching for him so he can then show his frustration, oh i mean love?!

I can't believe anyone would even expect Sona to reflect on his love for children. Hindsight is brilliant but using that to beat oneself is cruel. I am glad Sona is the way she is.

Yes I would exactly like what Sonakshi did. It's better the kid dosenot know who the father is rather than knowing such a father. If her family insults and heart break and insult was not enough test she would get her kid in picture to be treated similarly.

Whatever happened was between husband and wife .She is free to walk out of her marriage but what gives Sona more rights on Soha ? Can Sona change the fact that soha is Dev's daughter.Are we saying a child only belongs to the mother and a mother does a favor on the father by allowing him to be part of his child's life .

If the above is true why do we blame Ishwari for assuming her son belongs only to her .Why do we criticize Ishwari if she didn't want to share her son with anyone .Just like Sona Ishwari had her reasons for being possessive about her son .

Indian law gives the mother more rights on her kids than the father. Till the age of 18, a mother has sole rights and the father has got to pay maintenance. Father and mothers right are not equal when it comes to a divorce. Moreover, a newborn needs mother's support not fathers...from feeding to everything, a new born is blindly dependent on the mother. Hence the law.

Ishwari was behaving like that with a full grown up adult son. I guess Soha is only 6 yr old. No one can ever have good enough reasons to be possessive about your married son.

Sona will share her daughter. She never denied. But trust me during any kid's initial days, he/she wont miss their fathers but they cant do without their mothers.

If Sona did not inform Dev, did Dev ever try to find out about her? He was too confident of the fact that she can never be a mother.

I believe I wont be able to convince anyone who wants to hold Sona responsible, but that's the way it is in real life...that is if you have come across such a scenario.

Good point. And that makes you human. Copying my response from my post.

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?

Did anyone wonder being pregnant, neck deep in debt, without a roof over her head, with her entire family's responsibility on her shoulder, how Sonakshi picked herself up and made herself into a success? When we applaud Dev's success who wasn't carrying a baby or had to care about anything except his own success with his mother and sisters doing every single everyday chores taken care of so he could just focus on earning money, do we think that Sonakshi could not pass on her pregnancy, child bearing, taking care of the baby in her initial formative years to her mother, yet she made herself into a success? No. Then we want to see Dev being the source because if Sonakshi's own achievements are not lessened then how can she get back with Dev? A woman has to always have less success, less achievement, less competency than a man to have a marriage, no?

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.

Bravo Tia. Loved your analysis. I feel Sonakshi is the scape goat for Dev and Ishwari, blame her for everything.

Honestly people are so engrossed in the reel life that they have no idea of practical implications of such situations in real life.

I am amazed at the extent to which things are judged without ever considering the situations.

Of all things, it has become a moral issue for a mother bcoz the father is unaware of his child's existence. If it comes to it, then how come the father has no moral responsibility of knowing whether he had a kid or not. Or can we just let it go saying all the time he was so busying coping up with the break up, he never thought his wife had any chance of getting pregnant after the Shimla night...am I hallucinating here?

Morality has to come for Sona only. Why is it not a moral issue for Dev ..The great Dev Dixit who makes mockery of the police etc...to know for sure if he was able to father a child after his rendezvous with Sona in Shimla.

What kind of morality is this which talks about equal rights of father mother but when it comes to responsibility, it will be the mother's only.

Lastly, Dev can never be the bestestestest father ever so if he can not be a good husband. He can never set a good example infront of his daughter. Children tend to follow their parents. Dev can love Soha unconditionally...he can pamper her...but these are not all the qualities that qualify him to be the bestest father.

Does Sona have more right on Soha - Indeed yes! Purely because she carried the child and chose to give birth. She could have easily chosen not to have the child but she did because she wanted to; not because Dev went looking for her, her love or their future together.

Your argument is irrational, as irrational as Trump repealing abortion. Its a woman's body and she has the right, full stop.

I blame Ishwari for not sharing Dev because she promised to share Dev. Lets not forget that she went to The Bose's house asking for Sona's hand in marriage. She lost her right to possessiveness when she went not once but a few times.
