Hey all, long time. Real life can be such an unwelcome intrusion sometimes. 😊
The news of the show ending so abruptly was a bit of a shock, but storywise, I feel like I have been prepared for this since the beginning of the leap. They always poised the story in such a way that they could end it in a week or explore the plot points at leisure over months. I have no complaints with where it stands because according to me, the core story was given satisfying closure with Ishwari's redemption properly explored (as in, the show didn't end with her changing, but we got to really see the changed Ishwari in action) and Devakshi's reunion not dangled in front of our noses for months on end. Everything happened with the time was right, and so when news of the show ending came abruptly, I knew I would miss the show being part of my everyday life, but am satisfied with how it went.
I am glad it's ending at a stage when it can be watched as a cohesive unit, without any sudden breaks or gimmicks that compromised the core story and characters -- when I watch earlier episodes, I see less developed versions of the very same characters! As long as they don't make any monumental gaffes in the weeks to come, I end the first phase of my journey with this show a very happy viewer. ⭐️
I also loved yesterday's episode! ❤️ The scenes between Dev, Sona, and Soha were so beautifully written, directed, and acted and I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. I think it's important to remember that in a lot of ways, Soha is still testing her relationship with her papa, since he is so new to her life. She is trying to figure out the kind of person that he is and how their relationship works -- that is why there was so much zidh where Vicky was concerned. The slap, coupled with Vicky's sudden niceness really confused her about the kind of person Dev was, and she got a little lost trying to figure her way out of this confusion. When Dev brought Vicky to the party, everything fell back into place for her and she saw her dad clearly -- Vicky was only ever a symbolic entity.
One of my favourite moments from yesterday's episode was when Soha came to her parents' room door and smiled at Dev hesitatingly. She was so unsure about how things would proceed after the first unpleasantness in her realtionship with papa, but the way Dev handled her left me (and Soha) feeling so content. He told her what he wanted most of all was for her daughter to remain the person that she was -- what an amazing loop closure from the time she lied because Golu told her it's what impressed Bigcha! He also gave her the assurance that she would be his perfect daughter forever as long as she owned up to her mistakes. *Sigh* Sona and Dev are such a great parenting team, and it's wonderful to watch Dev fill in the blanks -- now Soha knows that marks are important but they aren't the be all and end all. That was one happy little girl who fell asleep surrounded by her parents' unconditional love.
I also loved the Sona-Saurabh segment of the episode. It showed such immense growth in Sona that she owned up to her mistake, and instead of fixing it on her own and pretending like it never happened, she went to dada for help. That one gesture brought them closer, as equal partners, instead of pushing Saurabh away, with Sona isolating herself further. The fact that she left that SMS for Dev, and took the driver told me that the pendulum has finally found it's rhythm -- it's no longer swinging wildly from one side to another. Sona, the mother, trusted Dev the father and left Soha with him so that she could throw herself into the role of Sona the sister and business partner with full involvement and integrity. I loved that security and balance in her multiple roles.
Finally, watching Sona stuff her face with ice-cream and then seeing Dev show up at Bose house in the middle of the night hit me with a strong wave of nostalgia. No brownie points for guessing what moment it brought to mind!
