The need for bringing Dev in Soha's life would remain even if Jatin was an anchor for Sona in the past.
One, because even though jatin has been a good friend and a huge support for her, he remains that. Not a father. Plus Sonakshi never looked at him with the perspective of a future husband or even as Soha's father. .so whatever J does for Soha is in a something which Sona owes to him whereas Sonakshi knows Soha would feel content under her father's shadow. Dev. Whenever a parent does something for the child, does the other partner owe it to them?I think many many couples must have together tended their baby, does the wife count that okay, 20 years ago my husband did this and that? And I cannot fight with him because of it. It is a part of natural process.But whenever someone outside the expected circle comes to help you, it is sort of an obligation & though this one is not something which Sonakshi is returning by finances or any other thing, she looks at J respectfully because of it.So I think comparing Dev and Jatin makes no sense. Because no matter who a 'father figure' is, a father's love is father's love. I am sure Sonakshi did not want to deprive Soha of it.And I also think Sonakshi overdid the mention of J's role in their life, as if to show Dev what he lost. And how someone else was their anchor.Though I did not like Jatin packing his bags and acting to move out of the house. Was the drama intentional?😳
