I somewhere read in this thread that Dev tried Sonakshi to bring to their equations...But that is not the impression I get when I see the past episodes. Dev really never wanted Sona to perform the rituals or keep a fast or forced her to gel in with his family , unless until she is comfortable with . I hardly remember him asking Sona to do something to make his mother happy. I never saw Ishwari too forcing that , which actually surprised me , because MILs or even husbands wont really think this way and they always expect to follow the their family traditions of generations. It was Sona who wanted to fast and fulfill the customs / rituals of her in-laws , which is very good on Sonakshi's part. But Dev didn't force her to gel in with his family by following all the customs or traditions and make his mother happy. Even today he has the same complaint that she tried to be a perfect DIL,SIL etc, all the time , which he never wanted to force herself into.
But it was Sona who constantly called him Mama's boy and forced him to learn being independent. I am not sure, small things like folding clothes by yourself etc., really make you an independent figure. Is this what is the definition of independence in Sona's view? She always wanted Dev to change. This is a basic flaw. She loved him as he was initially and after the marriage she kept on asking him to change. I might have missed, but I never saw Dev asking Sonakshi to change. He always admired her and praised her qualities many times . I hardly find Sonakshi's dialogue praising Dev's nature or saying something about his qualities. She always says , she loved him and it seems that she herself doesn't know the reason why she was so mad about this guy.
How can we expect a person to change overnight and stop doing what he was doing from years? My question is why to force the change until the person realizes and tries to change himself / herself? Sona tried to change him overnight and the basic problem is she didn't seem to love him as he is or along with his flaws. Isn't the marriage decision a conscious one? Doesn't she know him before agreeing for marriage? If anyone says that she married him with a hope that he will change in future , then I must say she shouldn't have agreed to marry him. Did she marry him with a hope that she could change him? Now , that is bad. This means , you are not completely happy with the person you are going to marry , which is worse.
Sonakshi many a times called him spineless on his face. Now, is it not hurting? But people only find whatever Dev told Sonakshi ,is hurtful. Did she ever try to understand his reasons for hiding the truth about infertility. Is it not for his fear of losing her? It is Dev's nature of doing everything possible (whether it is fair or unfair) to keep his loved ones happy and it is proved multiple times and she is well aware of it. Imposing the fertility treatment , again the whole intention of Dev is to keep her happy without ever revealing this to her. He didn't want to see her hurt. Did Sonakshi not put his mobile in silent mode so that he will re-live his childhood by playing video game. Did she not take that freedom even before they got married, to keep him happy? How is it justified, he may have missed an important call or business deal because of that. Why Dev seems to be so hurt today is that from his stand he did everything out of his love towards her but she couldn't understand this .Didn't her judgement about him as spineless and Mama's boy let her look the other side of each situation?
All my remarks above came as a reaction to what I have been reading in the forum and not to support Dev's actions. We can't tolerate a person like Dev , but Sonakshi sometimes is also not tolerable.
