I know that many members may not like what I am about to say, but it is nothing personal. What I am writing is in line with the show.
Sonakshi came to IN as a nutritionist, as an employee of Dev Dixit. She might not be on the same level of Kichu or Tina, but she was in a way no different than them. Yet she assumed that she was different than them. She intruded in Dev's personal life continuously and always gave a "plausible explanation". She told him him that he did right when he apologized to someone for what his family did or told him that he was wrong to leave Vickky in jail and that he should have brought him home and explained things to him when she had no right to do so. She even went one step ahead and told him that he should let Nikki go for sleep over because she did it and that was the right thing to do and that was normal. She muted his phone and made him lose crores of rupees because she decided that him spending time with Nikki and having fun was more important. Even in the recent episode she decided that she will forgive Vickky who was Dev's culprit and put his whole company, his life in danger, yet still believes that what she did is correct.
Why is her freedom more important than his. She has right to make unilateral decisions regarding his life and rearrange it so that it meets the "perfect husband(Bijoy)" image that she envisions. She even gave the same understanding to Suhana who told Dev that she will call him "papa" only when he will behave like Bijoy as he is the standard for best husband and father. But then if Dev wants his relationship with her to mimic his and Ishwari's relation, why is it not palatable to her. She wants to keep her personal and professional life different, but mixed them with his life and gave out judgments as to what he should do and shouldn't do. She laughed at him when he told that he likes blue, white and grey colors for his choice of clothes. But is now not happy that he got clothes for her.
I applaud the makers to bring this question regarding the thought process or ones choice. Be it love or freedom, it should be human choice and not something that is restricted to gender. Sonakshi has made several unilateral decisions especially regarding Suhana, but is now expecting him to contribute to her upbringing equally. Unless she realizes her blunders and corrects her mistakes regarding them, there can be very little harmony in their life.
I also liked maamaji's advice to also think as mother of Sonakshi. As mother of Dev, Ishwari will not be able to teach Sonakshi anything or help Sonakshi learn anything. But as mother of Sonakshi, she has all the right in the world to teach as well as to show Sonakshi a mirror for her mistakes. And that is where I think the makers are taking the story. With Sonakshi now facing the truth mirror. 😃
Just my pov. Not intended to hurt anyone.
