Hats off to amazing writers here. I couldn't connect with Sona at all yesterday, and reading some write-ups definitely helped me.
I always 'sort-of' sided with Sona, yeah at times she took stupid decisions but still I found it reasonable.
However, yesterday Sona disappointed me, to the extent that I felt that I had wrong impression of her character.
She was portrayed extremely insensitive towards Dev's feeling, ignorant about his thought process and bit judgmental about his motive.
The expression Sona gave when she saw Dev's reaction after learning Ishwari's job surprised me. It was disbelief, as if she was like 'how couldn't he understand that it's a good news'. For Sona it was a good news, a welcoming change. Her expression showed that she couldn't understand how much these things are imbedded with his childhood trauma.
Yesterday Sona couldn't even acknowledge her beloved husband's reaction/emotions. She doesn't have to agree with everything but she could at least acknowledge that he could be having difficulties organising his thoughts after witnessing 'the incident'. Forget acknowledge, she couldn't even understand why he would be overprotective towards her. She claimed to understand dev more than anyone else, yet, Ish had enlighten her.
I thought Sona's emotions took back seat after she witnessed how dev reacted to 'the incident'. She wanted to show she was 'unaffected' to safeguard her husband. Now it seems like she noticed nothing and thought it was no big deal.
There might be another possibility that Sona was deeply affected and focusing on her work is her coping mechanism. If that's the case then she should have understood that it has impacted dev and his way of coping is ensuring Sona is protected.
Sona, who has been through alot in 7 years, might have taken this 'bus incident' as negligence on her part and got over it. Still, where is empathy for her husband, who have shared his childhood struggles with her and the fact that his mother used to take a knife with her to protect herself.
Sona made everything about her, her work, her independence, her ego but no compassion for her poor husband who is not able to think straight and being irrational.
Being a wife she can overstep her boundaries to solve problems to ensure family's happiness but Dev cannot and should not overstep his boundaries. I am not saying what dev did was right but the way Sona handled everything was really insensitive. Dev just did few things and overstepped some of his boundaries and she felt suffocated. Why couldn't she reflect back and question why would dev call her, would want to know where she is, followed her all of a sudden? Could it be related to 'the incident'? How? Why?
If Sona has to get answers from her mother-in-law about her husband's love then I sincerely question her love and level understanding. Dev doesn't need to voice out everything neither Sona has to voice out everything for DevaKshi to understand each other.
I really hope CVS have a twist planned to show why Sona is behaving like this. Or they would just ignore her emotions like usual and we have to understand her from our own POV.
Sorry for my long rant. I might not even make sense but felt like writing my POV.
