*Season 2, Week 6* Analysis Thread - Page 23

A leopard doesn't change spots and zebra doesn't change stripes. Similarly a persons core character is not easy to change. It changes only when there is a life altering event, an event which shakes the very foundation of a person.

Today's episode was as it is supposed to be with every character behaving true to their core behavior.

Ishwari -- She was left to face the harsh society with 4 kids in tow. At this point, she focused on survival and get her family out of that situation forever. In this she chose Dev as the necessary tool(for lack of a better term ) to gain this. So she started using her street smartness with manipulation and started telling what she thought as "white lies". Best example is the FB where Ishwari and maamaji remember the time when she was sick, but hid the thermometer and told Dev that she was doing ok now and that he should not worry about her, but should go for his studies/competition(something like that. I don't remember the exact thing). In this her lie was to make sure that Dev focused on the task of getting good grades so that he can get them out of their dire situation.

If this lie was ok and for Dev's own good, why is it wrong to lie to him about why she sent Ritwick's alliancee to Sonakshi(purely from Ishwari's pov, not mine ). Old habits die hard. Ishwari started to lie to Dev at a very young age and justified herself by saying "it was for his own good". For most part of the time she did not really see the damage her lies had done. Also these lies did not really affect people outside of the inner family circle.

With Sonakshi coming in this, Ishwari realized that Dev did not really believe all those white lies completely, but still did not say anything as he wanted to keep her happy. In the beginning of Dev's married life, she tried these white lies, but found them not as effective as they once were. In her keenness to keep her position, she resorted to full fledged lies. In all this once again she has not really seen the impact it has on Dev. She doesn't really know the extent of hurt she has caused to Dev as Dev has hidden it effectively.

Only when she will be exposed to the carnage her lies has caused, will she realize the enormity of her manipulations. But it is not too far that this will happen. Very soon things will start to tumble whether she likes it or not and this time she will have to face the truth. Right now she is totally unprepared for it and that is what is going to make the impact even greater.

Dev -- He is a good person, who is a 8 year old at heart. A child always thinks that his/her mother (parents) don't lie. That what they do is for the good of the children. Once again this is a belief that he has held for a long period of time. Even when he found his mother's white lies, he still did not really confront her as he thought that if it made her happy, what is the harm in that. His first real objection due to this white lie was when he had to break up with Sonakshi the first time in hospital. He was really sad, but still could not break the habit of keeping his mom's happiness above his and accepting it.

He thought he would go back to the old place where the white lies had not caused much damage, but found it hard. When Ishwari said that she wanted him to marry Sonakshi, Dev thought that his mom had understood the impact of her white lies. But still he was cautious. Soon he found it was not so. But by this time, Ishwari had resorted to black lies. This is something he could never imagine, that a mother can lie so shamelessly to her own child whom she says she loves so much. He did not think his mother would be so selfish as to only think about herself all the time and call it as "doing it for his bhalayi". Sonakshi's comment of accepting family as is also played its part in him not confronting his mom harshly.

Once his breakup with Sonakshi happened in that farmhouse, he stopped treating her as god which is what he thought of her as she had given him life and from his perspective had given up a lot for him and his sisters. But even then she was his mother. He could not completely shut himself off from her. He knows his mom lied, but does not know the depth of it as of now. But as per precap, the truth is ready to come out. Soon the other truths will follow soon which will change Dev where he will start displaying the results of Ishwari's lies.

Dev breaking down completely will be the eye opener that Ishwari needs at this time. For Dev, Suhana is the truth that will slowly start working in bringing forth the lies in his life.

Sonakshi -- As Geena had mentioned in one of the previous post, she came back to Delhi because she wanted to justify her action of hiding Soha and also see how Dev is doing. But what she saw shocked her. The scam in his office, the getting beaten by goons where both of them had a conversation without the 'faraq nahi padtha' masks and also the confrontation that happened in Dev's office following Ishwari's lie regarding her marriage let her know that he is still the same old Dev. She is now in the same place she was in before when she realized his goodness. She feels bad for him that even now he is being manipulated by his own mother and also for how sad and lonely he is.

This is partly what drove her to play his games today. She wants to make sure that he does know the truth not just about Suhana, but about her too. If Dev says he knows Sonakshi, she knows him too. They know what each other are. The other part was due to the fact that Suhana had been very vocal about Golu's bigcha before and it was with Sonakshi. She knows that Suhana is confused and conflicted. Hence wants to know what he told her before talking to Suhana. She also wants to make sure that Dev does not do anything impulsive which she knows Dev is prone to do. Sona wants to talk it out with Dev to minimize the impact of his presence in her life as well on Suhana's life and she is willing to go to any lengths for it.

Both Dev and Sonakshi know that they still love each other, but that is buried underneath the anger and disappoints that they have with each other. The episode today opened up that channel of communication that both were waiting for the other to open. Now that it is open, pretty soon even if it starts with fights, the realities of their misunderstandings will start to come out. 😉 😳

As for GKB and Vickky, God help them the day Dev gets to know the extent of their greed and the trouble they are ready to stir in his life to get the money. 😆 😆
