Sona's behaviour in today's episode makes sense only if they are building up to that self-realisation. Vicky's guilt and Asha's words about everyone having flaws and having to depend on your spouse do give some hopeful foreshadowing, and they have been pretty consistent in giving Sona these realisations over the course of S2, from her foundation of realising that Bijoy wasn't perfect, to admitting that she hadn't trusted Dev or their love during Khatri, to the rain proposal after the Nisha fiasco. I think we have finally come to the point where she accepts Dev as a co-parent in the true sense, and not just in name (after all our predictions, she became Suhana Dixit so casually! đ¤Ł).
The truth is, if Soha has to grow up in IN, she needs to develop a thicker skin, something that her mother really struggled with. Very much like Bijoy, Sona is trying to block any unpleasantness out of Soha's life, something that is impossible in a family like this one and which makes her unprepared for harsh realities when they do hit her. Instead, she needs the tools to be able to deal with confusing emotional situations like the ones she finds herself in now, and the confidence of knowing that no matter how many people are around, she can always reach out for her parents and they will be there. This is exactly what Dev has given Golu -- whether he is at the house or not, Golu always knew that he could reach out to Bigcha for support and attention.
Hopefully by the culmination of this arc, we get that balance in Devakshi as parents.
I think you give Lizzie and Darcy more credit for drawing boundaries than I do. đ I still don't see Dev and Sona as Jane and Bingley because they aren't generally naive -- just overly generous when it comes to their kin.
Sam, Why was Ishwari so convinced that Sonakshi was the wrong choice for Dev and that she knew what was right for him. She had based that on her understanding of him as she had seen all those years. But she had seen/known only that side of him that he chose to reveal. What he chose to hide, she couldn't figure it out. That was the reason why Dev and Sonakshi could have that courtship period away from everyone. The thing is both Ishwari and Sonakshi have seen only that side of him that they saw. Neither of them saw the complete person, Dev Dixit. He on his side, maintained these 2 personas without them overlapping each other so to speak. Ishwari didn't really know much about Dev Dixit, while Sonakshi knows very little about Dev. Yet these two believe/believed they they know Dev. With Dev falling in love to all that has led has finally made Ishwari open her eyes and say that she doesn't really know him all that well.
But since Sonakshi always spoke with such authority of knowing him and Dev too behaving that way, Ishwari thinks that Sonakshi knows everything about him. And that is what she kept repeating till now. But with current track she is realizing that Sonakshi might not know everything about him as she had thought. But is still coming to terms with that fact. Since she knows she has made several mistakes in the past of trying to change Sonakshi she is trying not to rock the boat and don't want to do anything that might uupset Sonakshi.
Sonakshi on the other hand has gained her confidence as the person who is eligible to make executive decisions by the constant "yes you are right" from Ishwari and Dev. She lost that during Dev taking theft blame track when Asha retracted that privilege which was earlier given to Sonakshi. With Ishwari, Dev and the sisters attributing the reunion to her, maami saying that she was wrong and Sonakshi was right, she is kind of swept off her feet so to speak. This is the utopia that she had always wanted. The one where she was acknowledged as the one who is always right and validated at every step.
In season 1 during Natasha track, there was one episode when Sonakshi comes to IN, Vickky purposely collides with her resulting in her bag falling down and all her things spreading out. At that time Vickky says that she was their employee and not vice versa. So she shouldn't expect him to help her get her things together. She asks him to spell the word "respect" which he misspells. This is followed by Dev coming there and helping her to put her things together.
In today's episode, Dev asked Sonakshi if she was ready to take Vickky's responsibility and guarantee that he wouldn't do any further harm to the family. Going by how CVs use the parallels and also how they make these conversations come true, there is a possibility that Sonakshi might hire him in her company once he is back at IN. Maybe even against Dev's advise. In the episode where she moves to the same office building, she builds a wall against regulations. She admits that she didn't read the small print. Probably that is what will happen. Just like Dev signed prenup without knowing, Sonakshi might end up signing something that Vickky gives. There was also one episode where Dev had told Vickky that if the later can get rid of Sonakshi from the office space, he would give his entire company to him. And CVs haven't usually added any such dialogues without making them come true, in their own way.
In this season that is one of the things that I am predominantly seeing, the dissection of Sonakshi and Bose family. In season 1, it was Dev and Dixit family. With each track giving new information to Sonakshi and making her realize that she is flawed and imperfect. It will take time, but from the way the story is going, I feel it is leading to this. As you said she very much like Bijoy is trying to block anything negative in Suhan's life. And it is no coincidence that they are bringing this flaw to light at this time. I am referring to Bijoy's attitude just before and after the first break up. The moment Ishwari said that she was not that happy with the intended relationship, he advised Sonakshi against it. He didn't want her to have any challenges in her life. Also when Sonakshi came back from hospital and told him that Dev had broken up with her, instead of acknowledging her pain, he tried to wipe it clean and told her to just forget it. He wanted to just remove the whole of Dev or his influence on her life in any way possible. And Sonakshi is trying to do the same. Remove anything that even remotely looks like Soha feels sad, block it and paint a rosy picture on that.
The current banner has intrigued me for a while and for me that is where the story is leading. In that picture Suhana is safely encircled by Ishwari and Sonakshi. But dev is behind Ishwari and not touching anyone. Also Sonakshi and Ishwari are supporting each other with one hand, while with the other they are holding onto Suhana. And for me this speaks volumes. For Ishwari and Sonakshi to support each other Sonakshi needs to admit that she is flawed and that she is not a miss know it all. Dev standing behind is like a protector of the family and not really dependent on anyone anymore. That he is now independent of that guilt that was consuming him. he is now relying on his judgement independent of it being validated by either of the ladies. While Suhana who used to behave like adult will go back to being a child who is guided by Ishwari and Sonakshi.
