@Shaavi, the analogy of Suhana getting hurt by furniture while playing blindfold can't be applied to Sona. Yes, it is true Sona did not understand the true nature of Ishwari, so she was indeed blindfolded, but Ishwari and GKB are not harmless furniture. They are like sword yielding guards who are protecting their owner(Dev) and his wealth. Sona is blindfold, so she is not able to save herself from the lashes (verbal n mental) of the guards and receiving all the injuries. Sona was strong to start with so she withstood the lashes but even the strongest has a threshold level. The owner who could have helped her had a blindfold too! Gradually she became weak and on one day when she was brutally hurt, her blindfold got removed. She understood the true nature of the guards. She rushed to owner and tried to remove his blindfold but the owner refused and told her to get out. That day the girl in love, the loving wife who was too weak to support herself accepted defeat and went out of the Dixit home.
Regarding the self inflicted hurt, I think most of the hurt was because of Dev's action or rather non action.

As I perceive Sonakshi, she has always been strong, straight forward, hard working, sincere, honest and truthful person. Yes, she wanted a fairy tale romance with his Prince Charming. Ideal life with everything rosy and full of love. But she was not a mere day dreamer, she wanted to work towards this perfect wedding bliss. The only problem was she was not geared up for the extent of negativity in Dixit house. She was never geared up for all the lies, deceit, manipulation, emotional blackmail and insecurities.

Like a simple girl in love she thought she will have a happy married life with her hubby and his family. She had good intentions for everyone at her in-laws and always wanted to extend a helping hand. She had her own dreams of visiting places ex Paris. Sadly Honeymoon plan was brutally crushed by her hubby on instigation from MIL without even discussing with her. She longed to go out for romantic date/dinner out but her hubby did not plan any. In fact they had a farmhouse which was never put to any constructive use! She herself had to plan one with Riya's help! She understood that her hubby was a total family man, so she started taking interest in her hubby's family and office matters, Neha and Vicky are such examples. Her in-laws took it as interference and her hubby gave her blunt answer that she will not understand and also showed her who is the ultimate decision maker in the family. I won't even get into other sacrifices like changing food habits etc. She had to forego non-veg in Dixit house. She learned cooking. Her trust on her husband was shaken in infertility track. Her own condition was withheld from her. It is traumatic to learn, for any girl that there is infertility issue but here she could not even afford to become sad for herself. When she expected the maximum support from her husband she got none. There was no compassion for her from her in-laws side on the contrary she was forced to agree for the treatment. She was sent to a resort where every Tom Dick and Harry knew about her condition and were advising her. One can just imagine what kind of hurt and embarrassment the girl went through. From a strong girl she was reduced to a nerve wreck. Her ordeal was not over yet as now her parents went thru the lashing(verbal, mental and physical) which broke her back. She made a last ditch effort but that aggravated the situation and final get out from the man for whom she was bearing all the pain, all the hurt all the insult.

Congrats on the new thread! 😳

Just caught up on last week's episodes. Felt like Dev really got to know the Bose family, and vice versa, without the pressures of keeping appearances to either sides.

Dev is trying really hard to fit in, actually took up the role of Son-in-Law, and did jobs around the house just any normal one would. Bijoy hated it, didn't feel like putting a smiling mask on for Soha's sake.

Asha lost her temper and locked the Big Bickering Boys in a room to sort their nonsense out. It was harsh, but it was necessary for them to get their issues sorted, because it was spoiling Sourabh's wedding prep. I like how Asha tells Sonakshi to keep her nose out and toe the line. It is hard to mediate peace between these two.

I wonder who will be the mediator is Dixit House? Elena ? (*snorts*) Baldev ? (probably)

Here, Dev has one and a half persons to deal with who hate him. Bijoy and Sona. But Sonakshi will have Ishwari, ExGKB and Vicky, all out to be rid of her, and the last two have no inclinations to be nice for the sake of Suhana.

Dev speaks like he will have his rules and his way in his house. But when did he ever have his way in his house? Everything was by Ishwari's rules. Will he be able to disagree with his mother when it comes to what Suhana needs or wants?

Sonakshi has least to worry going there. She knows each member in that house for what they are and what motivates them (Perhaps Dev does now too, I want to see that shrewd Dev again!!) .

They will see a Sonakshi who doesn't give a sh*t who they are or what they want, or what respect should be afforded to them. The way I see it, she has issues with Dev , because he was her husband. But she doesn't have any such hungovers about Dev's family.

ExGKB and Vicky are planning to kick Suhana and her mother out, and this will open Dev and Ishwari's eyes to what kind of parasites they really are. I am seriously looking forward to the tables turning next week.

Dev isn't that bad a guy, honestly. But he is a little blind when it comes to his family. Most men are like that with their family, whatever their flaws they don't like it being discussed. But he must know women are the same, even if they are quiet about it.

I just hope Sonakshi keeps her dignity, and doesn't become oversensitive in asserting her rights over Suhana when she is there in Dixit house. I'd hate to see her become traumatized again over there. If I were her, I'd hate to be living in that house again, where i was made to feel so awful. But ExGKB cannot hurt her now, I hope she keeps her shields up and strong.

I liked Bijoy and Dev's drunken conversation. Bijoy got to express his disappointment in seeing his daughter's sadness and failed marriage. Dev too, with newfound fatherly feelings could empathize with his sentiment. That moment when they both cursed the scotch bottle for making them feel something they didn't want, was funny and sad at the same time.

But Bijoy falling ill, and Sona turning on Dev, is a mirror of their first breakup, when Dev blamed Sonakshi for Ishwari's overdose of sleeping tabs.

all in all, I'm looking forward to this week's episodes..


Ani.. so nice to see you.

But Asha has really really low tolerance level and takes too harsh steps .

I'd blame her and Sona for Bijoy's condition. Dev is not the SIL anymore. So what he did not do as actual SIL, he should not try doing as ex -SIL. Just keep to your daughter.
liked Bijoy-Dev conversation. But honestly I like Bijoy so much that anyone hurting him makes for a very disturbed viewing for me.
Asha should not have locked them up without food and water for the evening and all through the night. Maybe she forgot that Bijoy takes some BP medications at night? Does BP get aggravated with no food and high alchohol intake?

But to lock up a 60+ man in such hostile condition is a grave mistake on Asha's part. Why does Asha not show a little bit of tolerance that she continues to preach to Sona about??

I agree it is not Dev's fault at all. If he was really a caring SIL he'd make sure Bijoy does not consume so much alchohol on empty stomach. But Dev is no body to Bijoy . so why would he advice Bijoy or try to restrict his alchohol intake. Specially since his own wife and daughter do not bother about his health😆

High BP is a result of all that tension, alchohol intake, that silly jumping/dancing and the tension of Dev's presence for the past few days

Honestly, Bijoy does enjoy his occasional drinks and I assume he hides them and drinks them without his family's knowledge😆 but in moderation. Don't we all know at least one cranky diabetic senior in our family who loves sweets and would indulge when no one's watching😉

Well written.👍🏼
I can empathise with Dev's condition and don't blame him totally because it is really difficult for a man who had been literally programmed to behave like an emotional robot for 28 years to change in the space of 4 months.It just dosen't happen.
However Sona's threshold had been tipped...the hurt she suffered particularly during the infertility track was very difficult to watch.

Agreed.It was actually surprising to see Asha behave the way she did.I wouldn't have minded if the duo had been locked for a few hours,but locked throughout the whole night...it's just too much.Neither Bijoy nor Dev should have faced that.It probably served as karmic justice for Dev when he had locked her up in the office.

@gt2918- But Sona is resourceful and could save herself on time.
and honestly being a younger healthier person Dev was not affected as bad, but we can see what happened to Bijoy.

Bijoy's indulgence with alchohol(that way he hid the bottle in a cupboard-away from his family's prying eyes) reminded me of my mom. She has a high BP condition and stores salty snacks in her jewellery box(away from my prying eyes😡)
I wouldn't even dream of locking her up with my neighbourhood aunt(with whom she can't get along coz that lady steals her newspaper😆 before she can read)

Asha is mild-mannered, but she really is not anymore tolerant than Sona when surrounded with hostility of any form.

@Bold-That just cracked me up...😆😆
@Red-Agreed.Honestly that fire alarm trick she played was a joke.She had her phone..just call someone and get away.That was a stupid game between Dev and Sona...more of a joke really.

But I agree that Asha's measures were harsh.The fact is that even if a BP patient dosen't get food for a while it won't affect him but lack of water is disastrous.Asha's negligience was actually shocking.

@ Shaavi
Today if Dev offers unconditional apology to Bijoy or Sonakshi, it is going to make very little difference in healing their wounds. Sonakshi's wounds will only heal when she realizes her misconception and the reason for Ishwari's disapproval while Bijoy can only be at peace when he gets to know that most of Sonakshi's hurt is self inflicted. Just like Suhana was warned not to play blindfolded tag, Sonakshi was advised not to involve herself before understanding the core characters of the family members by Dev, Ishwari and maamaji. Only when Sonakshi realizes her faults and flaws can her healing begin. This self awareness is more important than Dev's apology.


@ Yes. Shaavi you are right. If Dev apologises now it really won't work towards any reconciliation.Instead it will hinder the chances of Sonakshi's introspection and realisation. He will any way is quite comfortable to acknowledge his faults and say sorry. It is Sonakshi who is uncomfortable even to give it a thought. She can never believe that she also is prone to falter. Bijoy injected this perfection syndrome into her whole persona since childhood. Hence she never pondered over her behaviour in Iswari Nivas ,she doesn't feel the need to do so. So unless she removes her blindfold she can not realise her faults. As you said right now Sona's self realisation is more important than Dev's apology.

The pre cap indicates Sonakshi's self realisation is still a distant dream.Bijoy was locked and not taken care of resulting in his hospitalisation and Sonakshi blames Dev. She forgot that Asha as the wife and she as the daughter are more answerable for Bijoy's condition but attacks Dev who also suffered due to Asha's insensitive,impulsive and offencive step. Actually she should have said sorry to Dev for the inconvenience caused. He came to Boses with her consent as her guest.

I hope Sonakshi's realisation track will start as soon as possible . For , Dev is always ready to accept his lapses ..wholeheartedly.

Forgot to add one point.
@Bold-That is a good point.I am not sure how tolerant Asha would have been had she been living in Dixit house...
By the way,keep a tab on your mom and take care.Eating salty snacks is the last thing you want a BP patient to do.

Cooking is an art by itself. No one can master it instantly and become a good cook. When we get married and enter our husband's house cooking and food habits play a major role in forming relationships or breaking relationships.( not really Ofcourse ) Generally husbands will get used to MIL's recipes and relish them till then. Any kind of change they won't welcome but they will change with the passage of time.

Before marriage I did not even know how to make coffee perfectly. I ought to learn everything from my MIL and I realised it is not as easy as scoring top ranks in studies. I specialised in Mathematics and also did PG in Sanskrit due to my father's wish. I never found it difficult to stay at top but cooking? It took so long for me to become a reasonably good cook . My husband always used to taunt." Mummy makes it taste better." Yes I used to get hurt but not like Sonakshi who took it as offence when Dev criticised her halwa.

Iswari suggested Sonakshi to learn Suji ka halwa first because basin ka halwa is not that easy to learn instantly and it is not easy to make it with perfection. Sona did not listen. Dev likes basin ka halwa so I will learn that only. She was adamant. Iswari could not help but tell her the recipe . Sonakshi's attitude is like since she is perfect she can directly learn the difficult dish.

In classical music first we have to learn Varnas to reach the stage to learn kritis.or Kirtanas. If we directly attempt Kirtanas we won't be able to possess the grip on the rythym,raag and taal. Sonakshi's zid is similar to this. If she made Suji ka halwa she would have made basin ka halwa just the right way. Here Iswari said so not because of her insecurity but due to her wide experience. Like Shaavi said she did not let Iswari guide her. She did it as she thought. The result is obvious. It would have been nice if she accepted her failure and attempted again without paying attention to Dev's remarks she would have mastered it.

Sonakshi is a perfectionist or she thinks so. She would have really become perfect had she kept aside her ego and proceeded further. I know everything,I can master anything...This kind of over confidence becomes a stumbling block in learning new things in life.

Agree with Shaavi who explained so well. Nothing more to add.

@ Grace
Bold & Italic - Latha, 100% agree to this statement. I also didn't know anything about cooking, when I got married. And my hubby is a great foody while my MIL's happiness lied in making her sons have food to the fullest. So, just imagine my plight. Slowly I learned everything. But still there are some dishes which I can't match the taste of the same when prepared by my MIL. And so, whenever she is with us, I make sure that she prepares those dishes. It's really a heartwarming sight to see her happiness when her son praises her for it's taste. And the other way round also happens, when she says that she wants some dishes prepared by me only, as it is more tastier. One more thing I would like to share is that, she was a person who never allowed her sons in the kitchen. So, for the first time when she saw my hubby cooking it was like a nightmare to her. (I hadn't forced him to learn cooking; situations like when I had to take bed rest & all, made him enter the kitchen. And once he learned it, being a foody, he became more interested in cooking. Now he is a good cook than me...😛). It took time for her to accept it. Meanwhile, whenever she used to complain of seeing him in the kitchen, my hubby would say, there is no work which is to be segregated that this is men's work or women's work;If you are interested in doing it, you should do. Then dheere dheere she got used to it. Now, if she needs help in cutting onions, she instantly asks my hubby. The only job she still hesitates to see is men washing the dishes. She still can't digest it...😆

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Grace. It is Lakshmi not Latha. Nice to know your experiences. The show really takes us back memory lane and relive our past . It has this connectivity aspect. So we all are here comparing and analysing our own experiences with Sonakshi 's or Dev's situations. Yes. It takes time for men to change and make themselves adaptable to a different scenario in life. Till then they will get used to their mother's tastes and habits but after marriage they have to cope up with wife's preferences. As I said food plays an important part in the life of newly weds.

A little more patience and adaptability will work wonders for both. Hope Sonakshi and Dev could restart their life with new awareness and mutual understanding.

@Itelidevara
Hi Lakshmi.
I'm sorry I couldn't reply to your post in the last thread.Regarding that post pertaining to the 4.5 cr cheque,there is still a slight element of doubt.Vicky/GKB could have encashed that cheque.
You and I firmly believe that Dev won't leave the Boses in trouble but different people can have different perspectives and some might disagree with us.Therefore I didn't post that comment in the main forum.
I hope you understand.I'm pretty sure we'll get confirmation of what happened that night.Till then...let's just wait and watch.
Have a good day.
