*Season 2, Week 3* Analysis Thread - Page 5

Much like in the Ritwick phase, Dev is saying the things he really means to Sona but with a tone intended to imply that she has no idea what she is doing. When he said she was good as a nutritionist, it made me wonder about her journey into business world. The way I remember her, Sona loved being a nutritionist and having that one on one contact with her patients. She thought of this business for Saurabh's sake, so he could do the kind of work he enjoyed and not disappoint their parents at the same time. After the whole investment fiasco, it became even more important for her to succeed so she could become "equal" with Dev.

...and that is precisely where she is missing the whole point. The accusation that Dev never thought she could do anything was not completely true. He did many, many other things wrong, but not believing in her professional capabilities was never one of them. I mean, he invested 5 crores in her startup because he believed in it. Of course, all that has been understandably twisted by the words he let fly out of his mouth at their last meeting before the split... that she could never make enough money feeding people ghaas-pus. But it's not his "male ego" that is stung by her victory. Sona wants to make this a story about how she rose out of oppression, with Dev and the Dixits as villains, but in all reality, it's merely a story of broken hearts.

Dev isn't hurt by the fact that she is as wealthy and successful as him, or that she did all of this without him. He is hurt when she says she doesn't need him, period. Sona didn't know her power over him when they were married, and she still has no idea. It still kills Dev to hear that she is better off without him. And she does such a convincing job of portraying an unshaken facade (offense is the best defense) that he actually believes she isn't as affected as him... and then he goes further and further to get a reaction. Hopefully, this will eventually end in a conversation like the one they had in his office after the date with Ritwick.

On the other hand, after some cooling down time, I am glad that Sona got her bitterness out there. Dev literally had to break her wall down to get her to react, but they had to start somewhere. Dev is always caught off guard by the level of pain that this new Sona is willing and able to inflict on him. Her indifference bothers him, but her hatred and disgust is what really hurts him.

Good idea, I will do that now😊

Great discussions, everyone!👏

Thanks cool

Also, I think this wall situation was symbolic of their situation with Soha. The physical barrier in the office represents the barrier that Sona has built between her and Dev, and therefore Soha and Dev, a barrier that is not striclty "legal." I am putting legal in quotes because I don't mean it in the literal sense, since we don't know the validity of the prenup, but rather the fact that it wasn't strictly ethical behaviour on Sona's part. At first, Dev will tear down the wall in the most painful way possible, by filing for full custody. Sona will respond with threats but the law will be on Dev's side. Sona will accept her mistake and get ready to fight the battle in court, and Dev will drop the case and demand that they coexist peacefully (perhaps with intentions of showing her up). I think in this situation, Sona's employees represented Soha. In her eagerness to block Dev out, she overlooked an important detail that ensured their safety. But she also apologised, and they stood with her. Interesting times ahead...😉

Agree with you Sam that their today's fight just reminded me their bitter fights in ritwik phase. These two needs to sit and talk for that first they need to get back their sanity. Today's episode completely filled with bitterness. The improvement in their communication range is amazing. Post marriage they use to argue or fight in their room, pre break up time their fights became their families entertainment and their families also really happy about this progress and gave encouragement through their valuable contributions. Today their fights became pubic entertainment and that's such a great achievement. I am also seeing a proud father standing there and witnessing his daughter taking his legacy forward and I am sure that he must be really happy about his contribution in this entire mess after seeing his SIL and daughter fighting like cats and dogs.

@Latha: Your sarcasm is giving me life. 🤣

Totally agree, though. Their relationship, once so pure and perfectly their own, is now public entertainment. Dev put it best; they are really staging daily "tamashas" now. 🤡

Again, some amazing analyses. Humorous and thought provoking. Not migraine inducing like the hammer and nails in Dev Dixit's office

I can finally talk about the Friday episode. I had promised myself to watch tonight before commenting on Friday. I don't have much to add because you guys have pretty much covered most of my thoughts.

Golu-molu - you are such a Sonakshi. Dev seems to be "parenting" Golu in a way that he is correcting the mistakes he made during his very short 1^st marriage. He lets Golu know that he is there for him if someone bullies, never lets Golu down at important events like the birthday err PTA, allows Golu to loosen(a bit too much!) and keeps his promises. That means he has done some introspection.

Today Elena earned some points with me. I hope she continues to speak sense and parent her child. Having said that, I see Elena going and speaking to Sona soon... because when mami decides its going to happen, it happens. That also allows Sona to share her feelings. Because so far, she has locked herself.

Dev should really have sent the legal notice to Sona's office manager. Or Sona should have asked her legal team and office manager to talk to Dev. But why would they do that. They can't even talk to each other in private. Easier to maintain the facade in public. Dev was waiting for Sona to arrive before starting the tamasha. Sona keeps rising to his antics. She can continue to do so or she can handle this gracefully and get the right people to speak to the annoying and interfering co-owner of her office space.

I am pleased this tamasha is happening. Atleast they are talking and not using Soha, paromita and shruti and vital public services as a medium to vent. This built up anger has to come out somehow.

I am constantly reminded of that scene just before Sona ordered the jhula - Dev told her, so long as my name is linked to yours, I don't care. Dev, you actually have a 6 year old daughter, who has no Dev and no Dixit in her name. Your name doesn't even appear in the father's name column in her school form. How will you deal with that?
