*Season 2, Week 16* Analysis Thread - Page 2

Shavi beautiful write up sweety :)

New thread ..new week.. Mubarak ho everyone ! 👏

Mahua, in love Sonakshi is an introvert and Dev is an extrovert. The first time they broke up in the hospital, Sonakshi shut herself off like a switch and Dev tried to hold it all in like a dam. When Sonakshi accepted Dev's marriage proposal, for him it was like a dam breaking. For her it was like a light switching on slowly. In those episodes she is shown to be wary and kind of trying to accept that it is really happening.

As soon as the slapping of Bijoy happened, Sonakshi once again shut herself off like the turning off a switch. It was shown by her not answering Dev's calls or any of his attempts to reach her. When things started going downhill from the time she comes to IN with the check, from her point of view she fused Dev and Ishwari as the same. From her perspective they were not different from each other including their actions and words. After the farmhouse encounter, Dev once again dammed his feelings within himself and Sonakshi shut all her feelings within herself.

As Sam, Geena, DQ mentioned in previous posts Dev had ample amount of time to introspect. That is the reason he calls himself "naakam pati". He knows that he failed. He was waiting for that one opportunity to tell this to Sonakshi and apologize to her. But because he was angry she left him alone even after knowing everything about him, he did not immediately make the confession.

Sonakshi on the other hand came back with the belief that a Dev and Ishwari were still the same and that they were still one. With Dev taking on parenting responsibilities, Suhana accepting him whole heartedly, she had time to observe Dev that too unguarded and without Ishwari's intrusion(summer camp and Bose house stay). She was surprised with what she saw. But was not ready to accept that Dev had changed or that he and Ishwari are 2 different entities. When Elena talked of how Dev left Ishwari and stayed away from her, she could no longer ignore that she was wrong. With Asha talking about trust and its importance in relationships, she had to accept that she failed too in her relationship with Dev. That he was not the only one responsible for the failure of their marriage, she had her contribution too.

The moment she accepted this truth she was able to see Dev and Ishwari as separate as two different entities. That is why she was able to reach the farmhouse and make that plan with Jatin. She knows Dev and his guilt and his dealings with it. She has neither forgotten nor forgiven him. All she did was admit the truth. Like Asha had said to Bijoy that Sonakshi was "righteous", all Sonakshi did was the "right" thing.

This righteous Sonakshi is someone Dev is very familiar with. That was one of her traits that he fell in love with. As soon as Dev saw his Sonakshi, the first thing he did was to pour his heart out. Say what he wanted and had been waiting to say for the last 7 years. It was like a dam breaking for him.

Since Sonakshi separated Dev and Ishwari, she was able to relate to Ishwai, as a woman, a mother and a single parent. Sonakshi had always admired Ishwari and with this understanding she talked on behalf of her.

Right now Sonakshi's switch is not completely turned on. It is like on the lowest level of on. There is still a long way to go for her from where she is to where she needs to be before she can think about getting back together with Dev. She is right now accepting Dev as the "good papa" of her daughter and being cordial with him as his friend. What she is making sure is to give their daughter what she asked them for the first time as Asha said in her counseling -- mamma aur papa dono ka saath. She has not accepted Dev for herself.

Hope this helps.

Nice write ups. They were so detailed. It was a pleasure reading them. 👏 👍🏼

@Shaavi adding to another reference to the samosa, during Neha's wedding the three sisters also recited a poem about samosa.

Congratulations everyone:)

@Shaavi awesome analysis 👏

Enjoy KRPKAB analyzing everyone 🤗

Since Sonakshi separated Dev and Ishwari, she was able to relate to Ishwai, as a woman, a mother and a single parent. Sonakshi had always admired Ishwari and with this understanding she talked on behalf of her.

I watched last week's episodes in one go after reading the updates and some discussions here. I honestly had a very different impression of the episodes before I watched them, and as it often happens with this show, I ended up loving the episodes themselves. Like DQ mentioned in one of her posts, given that they were working with a lot of absences, they kept the story moving in a way that I found incredibly convincing. I am also of the opinion that what we saw on Wednesday was not a resolution of all of Devakshi's issues, it was merely the acknowledgment of them, so they can proceed to solve them from now on.

It's no secret that Dev is an intensely emotional person, who has never had the right tools to express those emotions. This is true right from the time of his father's death where, unable to deal with his grief in a meaningful way, and being thrown into adulthood overnight, he channelled all of that emotion into anger... at god. Similarly, throughout his life, he has only been allowed that one emotional outlet (which is true of a lot of men, and the root of toxic masculinity). The interesting thing about Dev, is that early on, he learned to direct that anger inwards as a sort of motivating force. That is how he explained the almari full of reminders of Ishwari's struggle. They made him angry, and that anger fuelled his struggle and therefore his success.

This singular relationship worked as long as he had control over the doses of anger that he used, and anger became his greatest weapon, but it also became his greatest weakness when he couldn't control it. And it became especially dangerous when that anger was directed inward at himself, because that is when Dev begins to self-destruct. We first saw this during the first break up. Neither could be blame Ishwari for not supporting his and Sona's relationship, nor could be blame Sona for moving on, so all of that anger was directed at himself in the form of an intense self-loathing. And as much as Sona tried to move on, she couldn't bear to watch Dev turn on himself the way he did.

That is what I see happening now as well. For the last seven years, Dev has fueled his ability to exist in this careless/carefree way by turning his anger on Ishwari and Sona. As long as he was able to direct his latent anger at them, he was able to sustain his own self-care. Every time he faltered, Ishwari ended up reminding him of where his anger stemmed from in the first place by trying to bring up Sona, and at the same time, Sona came back into his life and seemed to prove all of his anger valid. Even with the Jatin thing, as many people have mentioned, as long as Sona was lying to him, and doing wrong by him, Dev didn't have to think about the fact that he had fallen short as a husband.

But with this Khatri thing, his anger both at Sona and at Ishwari came crumbling down, and the base upon which he had learned to exist all of these years was pulled out from under his feet. As a result, all of his anger turned inwards and he went into self-destruct mode. Sona has seen this side of Dev before; she couldn't bear it then and she can't bear it now. She will fight with Dev, she will unleash all of her anger on him, and she will feign indifference when Dev is in full form, but the moment she sees him crumbling under the weight of his own guilt, it's like a primal call from his soul to hers, one that she cannot ignore.

The way I see it, she is answering that primal call by supporting Dev, by encouraging him to let his emotions flow freely. This is a side of him that only she ever got/gets to see, and somewhere in the madness of their marriage, she forgot how important that space that only she could provide was for him. What is beautiful to see is that everything they missed out on in their marriage, which made their pre-marriage relationship so harmonious, is precisely what they are discovering in this new phase initiated by Khatri: their friendship, support, and their natural and easy connection with each other.

As I am one of them who want that dev should leave the property and start fresh it is not because of the theft but for dev's peace of mind. Because I am not sure how Ishu will react on the finding of the family and helping them. Initially she will be happy that dev is understanding her. But I am not sure about the insecurity related to dev and her fear of becoming poor which I feel is one of the reason for her insecurity and losing of dev. In case of Dada's investment she was hurt that dev had given the money without asking her and mamai and vickki is able to use of her fear of becoming poor very effectively when they show her the prof of dev's investment. So I don't know how mami and vickki is going to play. So ones again if they able to convince ishu that dev can give the property to that family or that family can ask for some share and dev can give them and now he is not interested in running the business as ishu feels. Their are chances that ishu will go against dev and sona and this could lead to the dev giving the entire property to Ishu. And if this the case then I want this because Ishu has done the theft for the school fees but if she feels that she has done this crime and for dev and her family so she has done the scarifies and if she try to use it to manipulate and blackmail dev then I want dev should leave the property.. Because this is also true that Ishu was not able to trust dev that why she has prepared prenup and take the sign by cheating him.because if she has trusted him she can simply talk to him. It is the same pattern when in the childhood dev bunk the school one day. She want that dev should not miss the school the normal mother must have talk to him and explain the importance but she find the another way get herself humiliated and put the burden on that small child to be the successful and effect is the small boy lost his childhood. I am having another question why ishu want that dev should become "bada adami" that is rich mam. if they become the middle class family with good earning still it would be fine to get the economical stability there is no need to become rich by losing your own life. Dev lose his own life to become rich and Ishu was completely ok that his son is working like and hell and vickii is just enjoying all the comforts. Why? Can any one explain me what was the reason for the Ishu's behavior. And I am asking this because my father also have the hard childhood with the economical difficulties he never want to become rich . He make sure that his family gets a good life but at the same time he enjoyed his life to some extend. Please give your opinion about it.
