Well that's exactly my point tbh. Dev is not stopping Sona from working. So this is not about woman empowerment. What Sona should have said is that she loves her work and wants to do it her way. It's her work which helped her stay sane and take care of their daughter when they had separated 7 years ago. She wants to do it her way and she can manage it just fine. She did it for all these years and she can do it all her life. The problem is that Dev in his paranoia is trying to micro manage her life and her work. This has everything to do with his abandonment issues and very lil to do with feminism and woman empowerment. The last scene looked random and out of context just for this one reason. I wish the writers focus on giving Sona more emotional and sensitive dialogues instead of lectures on social issues. If this track is about Dev's psychological issues, let's stick to that. Don't bring in social issues is well am saying.

Now that you brought in Ishwari, I realised I had the exact same issue with her track. They could have shown Ishwari running an NGO or an eatery or any food chain or just about anything she specializes in instead of making her go out and start working at this age. And worse she learnt to use all apps and gadgets overnight 😆

Well,firstly I'd like to tell you that I've enjoyed your posts over the last few days.You do come across as a straightforward and no nonsense person.While I do not necessarily agree with all your posts but I like your conviction in presenting your view.

Anyways,coming to the episode aired tonight,I don't view that convo as a women empowerment lecture even though it might come across as one when we first see that scene.As you rightfully pointed out,there's no way anyone can question Dev regarding his support for Sona's professional career.Sona has clearly seen how proud the man is regarding her work.I think the convo today was just a cautionary one which points out to what generally happens in most cases like this.You see,a lot of females don't necessarily give up their job in an instant,they start giving less time towards it and they eventually wean away from their careers.I personally don't mind Sona's stand if she genuinely feels that working from home hampers her chances of achieving greater success.The convo can also be viewed as her POV in the sense that Dev's new setup of having her work from home hampers her prospects.

Having said all this,I agree that the dialogues could have been toned down to an extent.Honestly I wasn't really bothered by that scene coz more importantly we had Sona atleast speaking her mind out on something,which we've all been harping about since the last few days.

This is just my POV.I respect your views as well.
