Geena, so sorry hear you weren't well and glad that you are doing better! I am honoured that you felt compelled to reply.I totally agree with your response, but not with reference to this set of dialogues. The way I heard it, Sona was implying that Dev had never trusted her and she was always forced to prove herself. An explanation I found a little more convincing was that Sona is conflating Dev and Ishwari here. Ishwari certainly demanded that Sona prove herself time and again and never took her at face value. Over the years, Sona has convinced herself that Dev did everything Ishwari said and never stood apart from her when this is simply not the whole story. When he questioned her, it triggered that assumption that Dev is still nothing but an extension of Ishwari. In the past, Sona didn't recognise the ways Dev did resist because he didn't at important junctures; in the present, she has no idea of the changes that have taken place.One of the major personal hurdles Sona has to overcome is giving Ishwari too much importance in Dev's and her equation. That was emphasised both by the flashback and this dialogue. In order to do this, she has to think as Sona and not as Bijoy's daughter. Where Bijoy's daughter kept repeating "vo meri beti hai," enraging Dev and giving him a reason to fight, Sona implored him by saying, "she's our baby girl" making him part of her fight, for Soha's happiness and neutralising the war between the two of them. Sona, in turn, came out when she saw clearly that Dev was Ishwari's victim, not her accomplice, and how hurt he was by Ishwari's actions. These two are so good for each other when they aren't playing their parents' mouthpieces that it's painful to wach them fight against each other and thereby fight against their own happiness. 😭
