Awesome posts, everyone! 👏
Here's something I posted on this thread:Dev did soften considerably after he found out about Sona's trip to Delhi and her attempt to tell them about Soha, He also took her words about Soha being small, and therefore easily overwhelmed, very seriously. That is why he backed off completely and refused to pressure Soha into accepting relationships that she wasn't ready for. He also didn't want to antagonise Sona in any way that would cause her to recoil and restrict him from seeing Soha. He was still angry at Sona for hiding Soha all of these years, but her words helped him put that anger on the backburner and focus on Soha's needs first. The anger didn't disappear, it was just conquered by a sense of higher purpose.@underlined - exactly. As much as Dev understands that what he missed out on in the last 5.5 years is a mishmash of destiny, his mother's move, his ex-wife's not-so-perfect attempt to contact him and lastly his lack of contact with his ex-wife, he is still frustrated at the outcome. If anyone of the above hadnt happened, he would have been part of his daughter's early childhood. And like Sonakshi said and he realised himself, once that time is gone, its gone. It never comes back. You just carry those scars with you all your life. Soha also told him she remembers her 2-6 yrs which means he wasnt part of more than half of her life so far. That must be pretty frustrating - kismat ke likhe...Not only anger, Dev was mashing down a lot of very intense emotion, and it all came bursting forth when Soha called him. He thought this was validation for his patience, and just as he rushed forward, he heard Sona's voice holding him back. Overwhelmed by emotion at that moment, Dev felt like his opportunity was being snatched away by Sona's voice and he reacted emotionally. This was a crucial moment. We already saw what works and what doesn't in the office confrontation. Dev needed to be reminded of that sense of common, higher purpose. Instead, Sona said -- "It's only been three days; why can't you have some patience?" She inadvertently belittled something that had taken all of Dev's will-power, at a moment when he was most vulnerable, and that connection she established in the office was cut off. Dev begins to wonder, "if she doesn't appreciate my efforts, then are we really in this together? Was I naive to believe that we were? Is Sona taking advantage of my deference to keep my daughter away from me?"@underlined - This according to me is the crux of the current situation Dev/Dixits and Sona/Boses are in. Sona and Boses knew for 6 years that this day will come some day. There was very little preparation if you ask me. Sona is hurting. She is nursing those wounds and must be cursing destiny herself. However, she has decided its best to let Soha and Dev meet. She could have led this process a little while longer and guided Dev because she really does hold the strings right now. Like you say in the para below, Dev is putty in Sona's hands.Instead, if Sona had something formal like, "I know this is not easy, but thanks for your patience; it will really help Soha in the long run," she would have tapped once again into Dev's sense of higher purpose and his patience would have stretched a little longer. Even after all these years, Dev is putty in Sona's hands, if only she knows the right buttons to press. But then if she had ever known her power, they would still be happily married. She is also scared, and putting up an cold, angry front, which makes a cynical Dev believe that he is being taken for a ride.Dev is mad at Ishwari, but he mostly blames himself. He couldn't do what was needed to make the Ishwari-Sona bond strong. Neither could he convince his mother that she was the right person for him and their family, nor could he make Sona feel adequately loved and accepted. His happiness walked out the door with Sona, and he no longer willing to do things solely for Ishwari's happiness. He acceptd the fact that their happiness was in different things and he remained without a permanent partner and planned to for the rest of his life. With the knowledge of Soha, Dev has that glimmer of hope that he can at least give happiness to one of the women he failed, and that takes away part of his burden and gives him a lot of peace.@underlined. I agree. I would go on to add, that when his room was shown post leap, one of the things I wanted to check was where is that memorabilia filled cupboard. And it was right where Mr Dixit had put it the day he moved into this house. His mother's place in his life has not changed. What has changed is his perception of what her happiness lies in. Until Sona happened,(like you say) he did not realise that his mother's happiness lay in very different things. And that is what he has now started controlling. He makes sure he doesnt get sucked in that hurricane anymore, let alone become the vortex.His mother wishes to see his child. Luckily for him that has happened.What remains to be seen is, how much of this guard will come down in front of Sona now. He has already been implicitly impressed by what Sona has told their daughter about her dad.
@Chitra: Loved your write up on the Boses vs. the Dixits. Reminded me a lot of the Golu/Soha scenes in school the other day, which were a good representation of what you laid out. Golu expected Soha to side with him even if it meant getting in trouble because now they were on the same team, while Soha prioritised doing the right thing, according to the school authorities. They never really worked through these crucial differences in their core value systems.
@yetika: Welcome to the thread! I don't think you are overthinking; or if you are then that is our full time job on this thread so you are in the right place. Your point that Dev is anticipating Ishwari in Sona's actions is very interesting, and you definitely might be on to something.
@DQ: Is the song lyric, "kismat ke likhe?" I always thought it was "kismat khele khel." The former makes way more sense, and my mind is blown.
You summed up Dev's change in Season 2 so well. In a manner of speaking, nothing has changed at all; Dev has merely adjusted his expectations to coincide with the reality of his family rather than the idealistic picture he bought into all his life.
Like you said, Soha was a happy coincidence for him; one of the rare instances when his and Ishwari's happiness did overlap. He proved with infertility that if he couldn't be the father of Sona's children then he preferred not to be a father at all, and he planned to abide by that all his life until he found that Ishwari's bhagwan had been very generous indeed.
He has illustrated amply that he is thrilled by the fact that this is his and Sonakshi's child, but like you said, it remains to be seen when that guard will come down in front of her. If she showed the slightest sign of softening, he would definitely look to her for guidance. I think that was what that little flick of his eyes towards her when Soha called him Mr. Dixit indicated.
@sam take a bow my dear...I felt the same when Soha called him Mr Dixit and how he looked at Sona...I think it's in his destiny that he has to always correct his most dear-ones ..earlier it was "its Dev for you" to Sona and now "its papa for you" to Soha
@yetika that would be a great journey for Dev-Ish-Sona, if Soha can be the cupid and make everyone realise what their mistakes
In today's episode for the first time I felt Sonakshi really has stopped loving Dev and whatever feeling she has for him is limited to Dev being her daughter's father...she wants him to be safe, alive but living with him, she is not ready...the love she has felt for him is long lost...but unfortunately Dev still has the same love and what he needs is just an acceptance from Sona..that clearly talks volume about his solitude...Sona doesn't feel so because of the effective support system which she has...so the 7 years has done more damage to Dev than for Sona...he is emotionally wrecked but just holding a facade for the outer world...that's why he is leaning on Soha...I pity this man who is a lovable idiot at the same time a complicated man to handle...he was speechless and cut a sorry figure when his daughter asked him why you didn't contact Mumma all these years...I could feel the pain of the little on who is crammed between the Mumma's family and papa...her heart goes with papa but brain goes with mumma...a tough battle for a 6 year old...Golu is such a sweet heart...he is soha's age doesn't care much about others...very realistic display of the difference in the emotional side of boys and girls...very interesting episode...
@rekha...may be Iam wrong..what I felt from his statement of Sonakshi became a feminist is...she has become very boastful of her achievements and claimed that Soha is "HER" daughter with an implied tone that she can manage well without him...so he felt she is questioning the role of father in Soha's life...he has misconstrued time and again her intentions...they are boasting their ability to be good parents of a 6 year old and portray themselves as less than six year old🤣
