I still haven't recovered from the episode. The final outcome was somewhat expected. However the execution was ace. Well done makers, actors, technicians and dialogue writers.

Dev's confession was so honest. I hadn't expected anything can beat his original confession. But today was just another level of expression. Given that I was firmly sat in the sufiyana love land, this behoshi ka confession has drugged me too. This is exactly what I feel about the soulmate connection. When the truth comes out, the floodgates open. Nothing can stop it. I like how the distinction between the soulmate connection and the practicality of married life has been brought to the forefront. In season 1, the confession and the love story was all fairytale like. Dev fell in love with a girl who was his family favourite. Sona fell for her prince charming. But when life gave them a reality check, they broke. No wonder, that deep soul connection still exists between the two of them. When Dev said all those things, he was speaking from his heart. When he woke up, his initial reaction was denial. But then both of them acknowledged that the truth is what Dev said in his subconscious state.

But sona was awake. She knew whatever Dev said is true and lovely. But it's not practical for them to be together again. Now with Soha in the mix, it's dangerous. This girl who used to dream of a fairytale, has grown into a mother who needs to think about her child's day to day securities. The same applies to dev too. In his conscious state, he articulates their relationship status as just that- we are not together, we just live together.

These two never separated at the soul level. But they never became one team at the 'life partner' level. If season 1 gave us devakshi, season 2 will give us Mr and Mrs Dixit (surprisingly that is how they were addressed as just before they became one at worldly level aka consummation)

If in the last post I elaborated on the parallels, I am going to talk about the next story line here. What they showed had to be shown if they want to show Sonakshi confessing her love to Dev in June. They still need to show Dev -- Natasha -- Sonakshi track with Dev -- Sonakshi -- Jotin where Dev is Sonakshi, Sonakshi is Dev and Jotin is Natasha. 😆 😆 😆

Loving all the analysis- but not caught up yet. I agree,it is not practical and very dangerous for them to be together again right now...especially until the acid test with Ishu back (high drama quotient coming up- but I can't stand her character as a mother/MIL even now. I can forgive her as a woman who did all she could for her young children, but not her selfishness and complete disregard for her adult son's happiness. I don't feel the theft justifies her insecurities and manipulative behaviour at all).

👏😊

AbAnamika, one of the words that was used sparingly in season 1 is used very often in season 2. The word I am referring to is "perfect/perfection". This idealism is one of the crux of the series.

Although Dev lists out his faults and considers himself as flawed Ishwari doesn't think so. From her perspective he is "perfect" in every way. She feels that the only way she can be his mother and deserve the respect he gives is if she is "perfect". She also knows the mistake she made when she compromised on her ideals. The one that Khatri revealed. She feels that if Dev gets to know the truth that his mother made a mistake then he would stop loving her and also leave her. This is where her insecurity with Sonakshi comes into being. From Ishwari's perspective Sonakshi is "perfect". Also she feels Bose family is perfect. She fears that Dev will leave her and chose the Boses if he comes to know her imperfections. And if he leaves her she has no where else to go and will once again end up on the street.

Sonakshi unknowingly added to her insecurity by always giving and not complaining. She saw her greatest fear come to life in Sonakshi. Hence she did all that she could to make sure Dev did not leave her. Even now she is still living with that fear. A fear that only he can abate by accepting her with her flaws.

I am not saying what Ishwari did was right or in any way justifying her actions. I am just trying to explain her pov.

The reason she blames Sonakshi for all that happened is because of her considering Dev perfect. Dev blames himself for failing as anyone(as brother, as son etc), but Ishwari doesn't think so. She thinks that Dev fulfilled all responsibilities perfectly. She felt that Dev was leaving this path of perfection because of Sonakshi, by lying, by hiding etc. just like maamaji told Sonakshi -- he is Ishwari's moon. He has blemishes but that are not visible to Ishwari.

This is also where Sonakshi and Bijoy come into the picture. They also consider themselves perfect. Even in yesterday's episode during car ride, Sona and Soha said that they were perfect. That is one of the reason why Sonakshi is not ready to accept Dev's confession. She feels what they have now is ideal. In other words "perfect" relationship. She doesn't want to change the status quo.

The way the CVs are narrating the story and how this belief of "perfection" is playing such a major role is amazing. Upcoming episodes will definitely be gripping is what I am thinking. 😃

Yes i feel that sona is going to propose dev. But still i don't see jatin as natasha. If you ask in s1 both were unaware about their felllings or deapth of the feeling so they were not ready. But form yesterday's episode they know what they want and what they feel. So fight is now with ownself and the with the their parentes idealogy that how my child should have a life. So now fight is with their fear to hurt each other and soha and what ishu and bijoy feels. So no need of jatin as natasha from my point of view. You know no i never get agree as jatin as natasha. From my point of view jatin and elena is the future pair.😊😊

Let's agree to disagree. After today's episode I am very sure of Sonakshi Jotin marriage track and that mimicking Natasha track. One of the highlights of that track was Sonakshi was aware of what she felt regarding Dev, yet chose to consciously conceal it. Dev on the other hand felt an unknown pull towards Sonakshi, was unaware what this feeling was and ended up blurting them at times to Sonakshi. Like the time he said that he doesn't like it when she is angry with him or when he wanted to know if she was hurt because of the ring etc.

This is exactly what is going to happen now. Dev will keep the promise he made to her. But there will be change in her behavior which neither Bijoy nor Ishwari will like. Bijoy has accepted Sonakshi's decision of co parenting only because of Sonakshi's assurance that she and Dev are not together and they will not get together. This is the last day of their stay at IN and from the next day onwards they are to go back to Bose house. Bijoy will have clear view of Sonakshi. He will insist on Sonakshi Jotin marriage to avoid Sonakshi from even thinking about Dev. Sonakshi too will say yes as that will give her an opportunity to run away from Dev and her feelings. But just like Dev blurting them out without realizing that he is doing so during Natasha track, Sonakshi will end up blurting out the truth at odd times unknowingly similar to how she said "couple" during their coffee date, "maa" for Ishwari etc.

It will truly be "dil ke faisle dimaag se". The more she will run away is when she will better understand herself and reconcile with Dev. 😆

Sab tumhari galti hai, Shaheer ! Tum itne convincingly Dev ko enact kyun karte ho ?? 👏 Very emotional episode . A big round of applause to the actors n the script writers. Some of the dialogues're amazing.

...but I am still a bit saddened about the 'never' train of thought that Sona maintains despite herself...and kind of agree with Asha. It would have made sense to me if there was no soul connection at all, but for all 'pragmatic' purposes, they are already living in a very complicated situation. On the other hand, I can't blame Sona...her hurt was so deep, the hesitation is understandable.

So to me, Dev's dream and hope of their own home and fresh start with their own family (including Golu?), however premature it may be, is one of the most sensible, pragmatic and sincere ideas this man/lover/father/husband has ever proposed, given the hostility and nature of his own family members- and I truly hope that this is what happens in the end, redemption or no redemption for Ishwari. This in no way means he abandons his family, but he puts Sona, Soha and their happiness and relationship first. Finally.

And I hope Ishu mata's 'nightmare' just before her Vaisnodevi trip (but Dev's dream) comes true.

Looking forward to seeing events unfold and the continued dissections by so many brilliant writers on this thread!

👏😊

As she herself lamented, Dev only sees the black and white of relationships. He needs her to show him the complexities, that there are countless colours, that they can leave their relationship unnamed and just enjoy getting to know each other again, that their issues have to be dealt with before her "no" can become a "yes". And Sona at some point will need to take a leaf out of Dev's book, because in the end, it all comes down to taking courage and putting your feelings on the table. Sharing her confusion is the only way around Dev's mental block of "yes" or "no." Now that Dev's feelings are out there, a standing invitation, it's entirely up to Sona whether/when she wants to sieze the day!
