Agree with you dq, it's just that some one kidnapped our Dev and Sona when they were coming back from shimla and sent these Dev v2.0 and Sona v2.0 in their places.

I knew there was something fishy about them coming back a day early. So our Sona and Dev have been happily manao-ing a permanent, loved-up honeymoon in Shimla for the past seven years? 😲

I like that thought! 😉

Exactly, our babies are living happily in their lala land. These two aliens came in their place and playing thashan game currently by mud slinging in public.

"No one can hate you with more intensity than someone who used to love you".

-Rick Riordan-

Dev have settled his scores with his family and is keen on keeping the relationships on his terms. But the one person whom he couldn't do that was Sonakshi. According to him she left him when he chooses to be with her and never trusted him enough to fight for their relationship. He was coming to terms with her rejection and trying to move on and her being out of his sight helped him in this. But from the moment he set eyes on her he was lost. He believed himself to be happy and content with life. But the Sonakshi he saw was an antithesis to the Sona he knew. There was nothing in her eyes and demeanor except deep loathing for him. He might be angry and disappointed in her but doesn't hate her that way and is surprised and is at unease, telling himself that he doesn't deserve that.

In relationships usually there is a balance between love and hate and when the relationships sours the balance tilts and only hate remains. Usually the partner who makes the most sacrifices or works the most to keep the relationship going will be more bitter and angrier.

The new Sona comes with tough armour and Dev is trying to penetrate this armour to be at an even footing. But she is now also equipped with an upgraded firing capacity and this is taking a toll on him. She won't let her guards down and show her vulnerability around him especially because of Soha. She made herself believe that Soha will be ill-treated by the Dixits, she being her daughter and doesn't expect Dev to stand up for her. This was necessary for her to justify her decision to keep Soha's existence from Dev. They know each other so well that they attack each other where it hurts most.

Dev will hate Sona, once Soha's existence comes to light. But then hurting Sona, will deeply impact his daughter since Sona is the only parent she has ever known. Where he wants to hurt most, his hand will end up tied.

On a serious note ladies, let me throw a cat among the pigeons. As Season 2 progresses, and we continue to get more and more opportunities to scratch the surface on our characters' new avatars, we should be able to see how they do remain the same at core. We have seen a lot in the last 2 weeks however remember today will be the 12th episode of season 2... Season 1 was around 230+ episodes long. It took them about 75 episodes before confession happened, right?

I will admit, I am guilty of not understanding Shimla well enough. I am glad I wrote my thread "shirtless in shimla" and many of you enlightened me there. Because as the current season progresses, Shimla actually makes more and more sense.

My thinking is that the leap had been planned for a while now. Perhaps was always on the cards. Shaavi's posts have helped this leap make sense to me.

This season is quite complicated/layered actually and I am watching it with season 1 in the background always referencing what was said/done/not said back then. Its loud (Ishwari niwas needs to be toned down and ex-gkb needs to start speaking in hindi for starters) and often times you are left wondering - hang on, why would he/she say/do that? We dont know what happened in those 7 years. We just know they both split with a rage within them. How they dealt with those emotions and which one of those are yet not dealt with is yet to be explored.

Another thing is, we see a Dev that Sona hasn't yet seen. Similarly, Dev doesn't know much about this Sona either. They are both holding on to their partners' perception which they created in the build up to that fateful night and also some that they have created since - possibly in an attempt to deal with the pain/curve-ball that life must have thrown at them in the last 7 years. And thus they are venting and reacting to what they see. How much have they changed and how much will they now change is yet to unfold.

Okay, off of my soapbox...

I found the phone call from Soha's teacher the most interesting part of the episode. So Soha is fighting now, and instead of being deeply concerned that her daughter is engaging in physical violence, Sona is determined to negate the existence of the man who is, at that very moment, standing in front of her. Mark my words, this very scene will play back when Dev finds out about Soha and those words, "he doesn't exist" are going to be the reason it gets ugly. When he finds out about Soha, Dev will already have preconceived notions about what Sona taught their daughter because of the point she was trying to make in a moment of extreme bitterness, and he will be up in arms to fight back against it. So much ugliness in store. 🤢

Okay, so let me get this straight. Sona really thinks that she can work in the same office as Dev, deliberately provoke his temper regularly, and keep hiding Soha from him? What kind of superhuman control does she think she has? This reminds me so much of the case of Dev and the fake pregnancy; he had the same delusions of control in a ticking time bomb of a situation.

Soha clearly has a lot of pent-up anger that she doesn't have an outlet for. A fellow student telling her that fathers are better than mothers provokes her because she doesn't have one of her own. Mothers have to be better than fathers, otherwise Soha has to acknowledge the pain and emptiness of missing something in her life. She has to go against the word she gave her mother, that she would always stay by her side. And this is where the conflict starts. The decision not to reveal Soha to Dev and the Dixits can be justified, but robbing Soha of her father, and deciding for her that she needs only one parent, is where it gets really murky. Anger, violence, and bad behaviour are usually a cry for help from children and the urgent call from the teacher should have rung alarm bells for Sona. Instead, she took it as an opportunity to secure her psychological edge over Dev. On the one hand, I am really happy to see Sona showing her human side -- she is not able to process everything perfectly at the same time. On the other hand, I am sad that Suhana put in this position.

Soha is unconcsiously mirrorring her parents' behaviour. They are fighting like cats and dogs, in public, and over the most petty things in order to mask the real issues, and so is she. I think it's an indication that her world can only be at peace whenher parents are acting like parents, aka mature adults.

Dev, what is with all the obvious lurking?😕

Excellent post and you are right about Suhana. I wanted to express these thoughts when I wrote about single parenting issues. It's a fact that a child needs both parents while growing up and one cannot fulfil the obligation/void of the other. Children of single parent usually pretend that everything is right in their lives, but then are lost when confronted with their peers and questions alike. Suhana's behaviour earlier when she marched to the Princi's office was lauded in the forum as a sign of independence and good upbringing. But, lurking somewhere was a mind that was probably growing very fast. If you look at Dev, the moment he sets his eyes on Golu, he is stress free and treats him like a normal 6 year old. Teasing, playing and telling stories. Sonakshi believes she can handle both the responsibilities with ease. But, Suhana appears to be missing her father in her life. That's where I felt that the children in school may not befriend her - now if she has started fighting, it seems more logical- and Golu might try and become her friend, after consulting bigcha!!! 😃 I feel that Dev would make a wonderful father, if Suhana does not see him confronting and messing with Sonakshi.

Incidentally, today's episode rattled me. Sonakshi was subdued and calm. She donned her cap of Swabhimaan again. I liked that. She distributed sweets to Dev's employees. I liked that very much. She offered them to Dev and even forced him to take them, with his hand. I really liked that. 😳 Would she have even bothered to insist if the office belonged to someone else! So, what do you want from Dev, Sonakshi? The last scene of switching off the lights reminded me that Sonakshi was scared of darkness. Is Dev trying to encase? Has Sonakshi overcome the fear?

Today's episode was one of the interesting best that they have shown. There were lot of things that were very symbolic.
