Thank you Rida. Welcome to my post. Thanks to Husna for recommending it.
I'm not a follower or regular watcher of the show. I've seen a few episodes in s1 and have been following a bit of s2 since the last week. To be honest, I literally watch the show to see Dev give it to Ishwari. That gives me such a kick.😆
We are on the same boat. 😆
There are obviously times when I sympathize with the Indian television creatives. Too many cooks spoil the broth and I believe that's mostly the case with every single indian Tv show. The channel wants something, the writers want something, the director envision something. Add to that the TRPs and other pressures, the tight scheduling and low budgeting and you have this khichdi. They say suspend your disbelief when watching a fiction. In Indian shows, this holds true to the very T.
They're more often than not one-dimensional and mills & boonsy where it's all about the eye-locks and drama, which is why I really don't watch them for the logic or depth or understanding.
But even then, sometimes you're really wondering what is the exact definition of love? Love is always the most apparent logic. She loves him. He loves her. Even after 7 years, we all know that. But what exactly is love to CVs? the whole angst? where they save each other's life and can't see one another in pain? But why is love always shown to be this angst-passion dimensional only?
That is my question as well. Why love has to be angsty all the time? Who wants to watch people suffering?
I mean who doesn't enjoy two good looking people throwing shades and hot looks at one another?😆 but that's not what love truly is.
It's respecting your partner first. Respect is the utmost important thing. Respect them, their potential, their space, their strengths and stand with them and support them.Who doesn't want that from a life partner/lover? for them to be that calming balm in your life, for them to be your support? for them to tell you you've in yourself the ability to conquer the world. The person who understands your dilemmas before you word them, even through the fights.
Not only did Dev ridicule Sonakshi's potential (given he did it in anger, stress and nobody gets 5 crores just like that) but he also in a way did leave her to deal with the outcome of this decision alone. She had gotten into it partly because of him and then they divorced, she was out of her home, all her struggles, pretty much everything was her. Did he ever look back and realize what if she can't pay that loan? I have to help her, or support her indirectly? That's what love is (who knows what revelation CVs might have in store in the future though.😆 )
But he also is ridiculing her now every chance he gets just to satisfy his petty ego and keep the whole 'tashan' thing going because of course.
OMG... I totally agree. I was literally saying exactly this until my nails broke over my tablet screen but it seemed such a futile effort. Why is it such a difficult concept? It's like a woman's respect is oxymoron that we made up overnight.
Instead CVs show the qualities in so many other men surrounding Sonakshi whereas Dev is there to give her those smirks, and hot angry looks and interpret Suraj chaand sitaare.😆
I swear, I was this close to say, Suraj, chanda, sitare... Bhad me gaye saare. Abuse, ridicule, harass seems to be the way to a woman's heart these days and then we complaint about eve-teases and men who can't take no for an answer.
Hopefully, they'll show Dev becoming a person who will respect her as the smart, wonderfully independent and intelligent woman she is, he will repent and be sorry to her what he and his family did to her, and marvel in her accomplishments, be her life support, be more mature and be the aggressive front she needs. Otherwise, rithvik, jatin and all side parties look much more better romance potentials than Dev. Like if this were real life WHAT GIRL WON'T WANT A GUY LIKE THAT? especially if he can calm you like that.😆😆 though I just liked how they showed him to be a totally awesome friend and nothing else (and ofcourse he had to be the investor. becaaauseee...) and he's got good vibes. (but you never know when he turns into a potential fiance and what else. because larka larki kabhi dost nahi hosakte etc.etc.)
Good question, I would like to know that answer as well. I agree with you about Jatin being a good friend. I don't know about later, but I liked the bonding he has with Sona and Bose family.
This turned quite long. I really loved your post. the surajmukhi jwalamukhi had me in splits.😆
Thank you. 😆
I really hope they can bring around Dev's character. I TOTALLY LOOOVEEED it when he was giving those jawaab after jawaab to Ishwari no less but all of this also makes you realize that Sonakshi's life is so much better right now without him. Her family loves her. She has a loving daughter, an ambition and successful business of her own, great friends. She isn't being suffocated, ridiculed, criticized every second. Why would she want to go from this to Dev again? for the supposed 'love' factor? CVs better make their reunion (if there's one in store) a logical one because otherwise the whole 'and love conquered all (even sensibility)' device of Indian CVs that play the role of Ex-Machina will have all of us rolling our eyes.😆
Rida.
Lol... We loved yesterday's episode too. CVs ne phir se Dev ko wohi laake khada kar diya. Now I would like to know the answer to your question as well. What Dev has to offer Sonakshi that will make her go back to him? Soha can spend time with her dad. But as a boyfriend and as a husband, Dev was a failure. So until he becomes a nicer person and actually improves his attitude, I don't see why Sonakshi have to go back to him even if she doesn't get together with Jatin.
