Sona did have reservations sharing her vulnerabilities . But I believe both of them had some sensitive subjects which they were not ready to share completely . For Dev it was his past and complex family relations , he find it would be difficult for Sona to understand the emotions as she came from a different and ideal family surrounding . For Sona it was her family's financial status/pride , and the power Ishwari held over their relationships.

@ Divya, this thread and the amazing analysis here is affecting me😆
@ Mahua, what you said is true to an extend but I started loving the show more after this thread and more analysis😃
@Shaavi, completely agree with you. I am glad that I was able make you connect to Sona again. But you helped me to view Dev differently

I was probably quite intense in season 1 LOL ..but now I want to take it easy..though I am much provoked by posts comments around and shaheer Erica fabulous acting oh ..I really to want have little laid back approach LOL..may be because of the heartbreak and disappointment I had with abrupt leap.. sighh HAHA anyways I enjoy everyday as it comes and makers have surprised and impressed with a lot of things in this season 2 😛 they are clever people ..very clever

Guys just finished reading amazing posts here . I just have to say I'm in awe of this thread . Loving the discussions going on here , and it makes me love the show more .

@Sam thank you for that write up . For me Sonakshi is one of my favorite , fascinating character in this show , because I find her ways and principles amusing , and admire her matured behavior. But for me its tough to comprehend her actions because in real life I'm more of a Dev and my huuby is somewhat like Sonakshi . I'm as impulsive , short-tempered, possessive n protective over my family , and often go for some stupid quick solutions so for me its easier to relate to Dev . But the way you and some brilliant writers like Geena explained Sona are beyond admirable . Thank you to u n DQ once again for this wonderful thread and all the members who post here . 👏 I do have time restrictions and truly regret for not being able to actively participate in the discussions going on . 😭

@Deepa That was one superb write up and to think that you could write it after watching yesterday's episode is just 👏 . I lost my patience yesterday because I thought makers are handling it in a poor way by questioning our intelligence . But you are a breath of fresh air dear 🤗 .

@Shaavi: Thank you so much! Reading your response made me feel like I managed to get the point I was trying to make across, and I am really grateful in turn for that! ⭐️

The Gandhi example is a perfect way to view this sitiation. We tend to idolise Gandhi so much as a saintly figure that we discount his shrewd political mind. Like you said, he knew how to read his enemy and play the long game when it came to achieving his objectives. Ahimsa and satyagraha worked because the British were heavily invested in coming off as benevolent and progressive rulers, and Gandhi's actions forced them to reveal how thin that facade of benevolence was. It would not have worked on leaders who were more than willing to exercise violence to maintain control (like the Nazis).

In Sonakshi's case, her sincere and proactive attitude might have worked wonderfully with another family, but here, it was not received well at all and instead gave Ishwari plenty of ammunition for her constant sabotage of Dev and Sona's relationship. The way I see it, quelling Ishwari's insecurity completely and gaining her total approval was an unrealistic goal. It would have been much more strategic for Sona to work on minimising the reasons for explicit disapproval instead; keep a low profile, go to work and come back, and enjoy private moments with Dev. This would not have been a permanent solution, but would have bought Sona some time to really observe and get to know her new family. This is what Dev was gunning for as well, and he did try to communicate it to her, but like you said, she was focused on her vision of the ideal outcome where her relationships mirrored those of her parents.

I totally agree with you about the reconciliation. I don't want there to be any begging either, and there is one strong reason I feel this way: the separation was a mutual decision, and the reconciliation should be too. What I liked most about the way the break-up was handled was that there was no single victim or perpetrator; everyone shared these titles in different capacities. It was very much Sona's decision to leave Dev, because in the end, he did give her a choice by agreeing to pursue their relationship despite Ishwari's ultimatum. I like to give her credit for the decision she made, and insinuating that she was categorically thrown out victimises Sona unnecessarily and takes away from the strength of her character. Similarly, Dev decided not to follow up on his wife and in-laws despite the fact that he had a hand in bringing them to the street. I would love them to reconcile, similarly, by making the decision to be together, despite the odds their families present.

@Sunny: I absolutely loved your break-down of the break-up! It was a beautifully written piece and I agree with it completely. Dev and his baggage did have a bigger share in the demise of their relationship, but that was always known. For this reason, I am a bit disappointed that they weren't more prepared to face it as a couple, nor did they get the unconditional support they would have needed from Bijoy. Like I said, I am all about validating decisions -- Sona made the decision to be with Dev despite knowledge of his and Ishwari's toxic relationship. She took it as a challenge, and Bijoy, instead of suppiorting her decision to take this challenge tried to eradicate the challenge because he didn't think her life should have any. It is easy to sympathise with Bijoy's fear as a parent, but also hard to miss the way that fear held his daughter back in a lot of ways.

You are a Dev? 😆 I am a total Sona! I began relating to this show because I identified with her character so much and I am happy the CVs are giving us a more detailed view of her feelings so we can discuss her in more minute detail.

To everyone who thanks and appreciates this thread- the feeling is mutual. We have good discussions, because we have them. Keep going and let's continue to be open to criticism as well as appreciation

I won't be able to mention everyone. But the analysis is amazing. It isn't easy being Dev Dixit. It's harder being Mrs Dev Dixit. It's was an uphill battle being Mr and Mrs Dev Dixit.

This thread crosses 1 lac views every week. Brilliant analysis and excellent writing. 👏

I have not been able to contribute much due to paucity of time. Read the posts by quite a few writers here and found the different perspectives interesting.

My view has always been that Sonakshi chose her family over Dev, which is not appreciated by me. Dev has always been a good family guy and she was the smarter one of the two, yet she was unable to see through the charade that happened that night. Tempers are not good at solving issues, instead they only complicate matters. The fact is that Sonakshi has always been the apple of her parents eye -the strong papa's girl. But, in reality, when a SIL comes home, things change. Esp. if the daughter of the house is estranged and has a child in tow. Here, that hasn't happened so far because the Boses are a well educated, decent and caring family.

But I couldn't help wonder what happens when Saurabh's wife walks in! Would the stakes change? Would Bijoy-Asha be so focussed on making the new girl comfortable that they forget about Sonakshi and Suhana! Nothing intentional but that's life. Priorities change, isn't it? Besides, Sonakshi could always take care of herself and Suhana!!! Would Sonakshi feel any change within her own family setup? Would she start feeling like an alien in her own home! Just a thought. Because that's reality. 😃 It happens sometimes that a person goes all out to sacrifice for the family and then find themselves stranded! That's where you start reflecting what could have happened if things were different. Or if the SIL is smart and starts questioning the business stakes and profit sharing?

Just my two cents. If it's worth debating, well...

Wow some amazing discussions Sam, Shaavi and Sunny 👏 Am awed with your thought process how a single point can be dissected in so many ways and each one is proving correct too😲 ...nothing to say except kudos to the makers for carving out some gem of writing here 😆!!

Geena, now am tired of praising 🤔 how easily you dissected Dev's "Get out" !! 🤗I think this is the only thread where I get dumbstruck multiple times😆 Thank you for your generous acknowledgement but I feel the credit should go to you solely for your stupendous posts, after all 'there is no genuine painting without a canvas" 😳

@ jasw: Thank you! Now to answer to your questions, some deep down character traits can never be changed. When Dev can't forget and move on from his love whom he met at 27 years old, can we really expect him to move away from his mother whom he has known from birth? Dev can be angry on Sona but can never hate her similarly he can be disappointed with Ishwari but can never be angry on her to the extend of severing all relationship with her because for him its easy to break something while it takes lifetime to built the same😳 ( A major chuck of reason for his anger towards Sona )...

But I agree Ishwari's hostility is alarmingly increased for Sona and her "Nivas" is definitely not a peaceful place for Sona-Soha unless Dev draws that line !!

And finally DQ for your GM question, my answer is " His pant got tight because his phone "vibrated"!"😆

Very true Deepsel, the basic character traits remain the same. That is why I am more worried. 😊

Interesting scenario, Rekha and could be a possibility. The way I see it, it is idhar kua udhar khai scenario for Sona! 😆 If she goes to Ishwari Niwas, there is a possibility that Ishwari will slow poison the kid's mind against her mother... !

To all the amazing writers here -- You guys are brilliant! 👏 It's super hard to keep up with you guys here, but at the same time it's wonderful to read every post.

So many different perspectives, thoughts, and discussions have been shared here.

I really don't think the writers think THIS much when they write the script. But I do think they purposely leave a lot of things open-ended for the audience to have their own interpretations, fill in the gaps, etc. In other words, if the KRPKAB team were to check this thread they would be super proud ⭐️
