But I wish to say I really admire your posts,Tia's posts and some other posts.Patriarchy is a system which is unable to accept an independent and successful woman.And if she does succeed on her merit and capabilities then the system chooses to overlook it.Dev's problem is that he is unable to see that Sonakshi has managed to stand on her own feet and become successful without any help.That's why he attempts to belittle and discredit her.And the name which Sonakshi called him is something which he truly is.What is wrong in calling him spineless and Mama's Boy because it's what he is.He deserves every bit of it.Also I have observed that most of Dev's mistakes are overlooked or people are willing to overlook his mistakes.They try to paint him as a tragic hero.Every harsh word he uttered to Sona is conveniently forgotten.However Sona is looked down for the fact that she hid Soha from Dev.I just wish to ask something.What would have happened if she had told him about Soha??Dev wouldn't have wasted a moment before taking Soha away.Soha would have been raised with the Dixits.She would not have the positive upbringing which she got with the Boses.Also knowing Ishwari and Radha,who knows that they wouldn't try to poison the little girl's mind against her mother??Moreover according to the pre nup agreement,Dev is not responsible for his children with Sona in any manner.And how on earth is Soha suffering by not knowing about Dev??Infact she seems to be very happy and content.I feel that it was her fortune to be away from the toxic Dixit clan.
I could not agree more.. like what tinkefairy said, the truth hurts.. the problem lies in the fact that we blur the lines between characters and actors. I have said this before, said it now and will keep saying it. it is the character that we talk about it.. and not the actor.
the points that you have raised are absolutely valid. here is what one person promised Sona.
That he loves her like a man loves a woman, That she is his life and he cannot think of a life without her.
Yet, when it actually mattered, he forgot the most key promises made. We keep forgetting this. If Sona broke some promises, Dev broke many many more.. but still only Sona's promise breaking is remembered and all of Dev's promises that were broken are forgiven!
Manifold cheers to Manhood!!
