Hello!😃
How have you all been? I really miss being a part of forum's regular discussions.
I know, I will be in the minority if I say I enjoyed yesterday's episode. Infact the entire week's episodes.
Maybe because I look at Dev from a different perspective and don't take his actions very seriously, knowing where they are coming from and upto what its intentions are limited to.
Dev had once locked her in the office and tied her yesterday. But did you notice how both these incidences where it seems that Dev is upto no good and is super insensitive towards Sonakshi, were followed by him saving her.
From the earthquake and a tiny moment yesterday, where he saves her from falling.
Isn't it conflicting?
I think it is very smartly done by the cvs how on one side Dev is loving his 'Devilish avatar' who enjoys troubling Sonakshi, may even enjoy looking at her struggling but on the other hand, when this trouble is not inflicted by himself, he instinctively saves her.
He had no reaction and effect of the proximity in both the former incidences (Office lock and hand-tie), he kept smirking and wanted Sonakshi to take his help. He even was expecting a call to listen to her gaalis that day😆
And in the latter cases, he was totally affected. The proximity in the balcony scene did not change him to his vulnerable self but the slip did!
What my point is, yes Dev is insensitive towards Sonakshi, he thinks that him inflicting some amount of struggle in her life would give him some sort of satisfaction, that he is no more affected.
But all his troublesome deeds are limited only until Sonakshi and the situation he created are directly in his control, under his influence.
Like a lab-testing under controlled conditions.
With fixed temperature, fixed pressure etc etc. You getting my point?😆 So by tying her hands yesterday, he knew what maximum would happen ? She would stand there for hours and he would act all cool to save her?
Even in his worst plans (Btw, I am not saying Dev is a saint and intentionally troubles Sona in 'less dangerous' ways, he himself is unaware) he is aware that the situation is in his control.
But during the earthquake and her slipping yesterday, his facial expressions instantly softened. Thats what his true self is for Sona, not wanting to see her in trouble.
These sudden moments manage to bring out the reality because he may not be able to control the situation when they are sudden, this equals trouble to Sonakshi, which he doesn't want.
So we will see this many more times again, Dev troubling Sonakshi to some really insensitive level maybe, and then Dev reacting vulnerably and saving her from tiniest of things, because of the same reason.😊
And Dev certainly can see through Sonakshi's facade (if any is remaining that is😆) and wants to see her being affected by his presence. He obviously had planned to tie her hand the moment he took that black folds in his hands before jumping, but was playing along with her vulnerability before it.
Taking advantage of it, Not Good Mr. Dixit🤔😆
Now, coming to the most debatable part of it, whether what he did was right or wrong?
Is he a bully?
Insensitive, yes obviously. Bully, no!
We are watching the show from a third perspective, the story is being lived by the characters, how we might perceive a situation maybe different from the emotions the character has.
While we were busy being totally shocked at what he did, what was Sonakshi's immediate reaction??
"Bachcho jaisa behave mat karo, Dev!"
What we are thinking of as an enormous insult to her love, Sonakshi, who is the sufferer herself, thinks as kiddish.
I think the use of this word is self explanatory. Sonakshi didn't give much importance to it because both of them are in this game of who wins together. She knows and expects Dev to do things of this sort. And though angry, she wasn't disturbed by it, like some us here maybe.
Hence, no reaction after the incident as well. She brushed it off completely.
Also, I would like to add that we should try not to mix bullying and conflicts together. Bullying is essentially where there is an imbalance of forces or power, where one is completely dominant over the other. Here, Sonakshi and Dev, in terms of power are equivalent, you all will agree.😊 In my opinion, it was a conflict..where one used the other's emotional weakness to win this round.
One thing I liked about Dev before the hand-tying scene was that though he was flirting openly with Ms. Preethi, when she tried to advance, he was very very clear about saying that he wasn't interested in 'that' way. That they can be friends and go on a date, because he doesn't want to share that special someone's love.
It is no mystery that those dialogues were for Sonakshi only😆😳 One because he didn't even know Soha existed until he met her, so he cannot technically wait for her😆
Second, Soha is only six years old ..ye saath saal door kaise hue..?😆
Dev has never ever, even after separation been hesitant to admit he loved Sonakshi and still does, nor has Sona but she says she is no more in love... both regret falling in love though.
What Dev said was that only, that he still loves her..about the rest of the sentences of getting her back and not letting her go this time, I am not sure if he started thinking about Soha as well, at that time. Because one thing is very clear right now that Dev has no intention of getting back with Sonakshi right now. Only Soha is in his line of sight.
So the first part was for Sona and second for their daughter.
😳
Dev realises that Sonakshi is eager to listen to those words from him, she wants to see how Dev wants her back in his life..and Dev throws the bait everytime to see her vulnerable and then withdraws.
Hope I am making some sense.Sorry for the blabber. Will try to be more regular now😳
