So lets forget Dev for a moment. Right after their first break up, I believed Dev has deep rooted abandonment issues and the dude needs a psychiatrist. His mom instead of talking him through it encouraged his behaviour cos it suited her purpose. And now he behaves the exact same way with Sona and am sure Suhana will get a taste of her crazy possessive papa too in the future. God bless her boyfriend/hubby😆 But thats not the point of my post. Positive, negative, amazing, pathetic, normal, crazy- whatever be the emotion, we know what Dev feels. We understand and see every single emotion of his especially post leap. Whether people approve or disapprove of his behaviour, we atleast know what he is going through and why he is behaving in a certain way and the difference of opinion boils down to different perspectives.
Now lets talk about Sonakshi. Some love her, some hate her, some cant stand her, some are neutral etc. etc. Which is not really an issue cos its the case with every fictional character. The biggest problem with Sonakshi is that no one really knows what she wants or what she is going through and everyone interprets her actions the way they deem fit. I dont know if the writers think so but I have to clarify- strength and independence does not equate to lack of emotions. You can get scared, react to situations and yet be super strong in life. Every time Sona reacts in a certain way without really expressing her emotion (cos the writers never give her even a monologue and she ends up mouthing stupid dialogues), this is how viewers interpret it-
Set 1- Oh she is very strong. Doesn't show her emotions and moves on unlike Dev who is over-emotional.
Set 2- Oh she is pathetic. Egoistic and doesn't even care for Dev while he is going crazy for her.
Set 3- Oh she has faced a lot in life and this is her defence mechanism. She doesn't want to become weak and dependent on Dev.
Set 4- Oh Sona is a robot and nothing affects her anymore cos she is super bahu.
Set 5- Please give her sexy costumes and give us romantic scenes 😆
So the real question is who is right? What exactly does Sona feel? Has she become an emotionless robot who doesn't give a damn or has she suffered too much to care? Only God knows the answer to this cos writers just dont bother explaining her POV. There is so much debate, discussion on Dev and the appropriateness of his actions and thoughts while every single debate on Sona is centred around people interpreting what she feels and defending/getting offended by it cos no one really knows what goes on in her head. There is a thin line between subtlety and lazy writing and the writers have long crossed that line. The last time there was clarity w.r.t. Sona and her thoughts was way back in January before the leap. Post leap, am yet to see an episode which throws light on her thought process. Forget right, wrong, pathetic, amazing- atleast show what she feels for god's sake. Right now, it looks like a one sided love story where the guy is way too invested to one bunch/ a superwoman who can handle anything and everything to another/ 50 Shades of Dev Dixit to the third bunch 😆 Can the real Sonakshi please stand up? Can we chuck subtlety and help poor viewers understand her thought process? Make her cry, shout or just talk. Its been almost 6 months since people have had different interpretations for her reactions. I still dont understand why they separated and randomly chose to re-unite 😛
