There is enough evidence that Sonakshi enjoys handling her company and she can take a bit of sabbatical for some time but not necessarily hand it over.She has herself made it clear how she wants to one day be a 'Business Person of the year' More power to her , I say.
Precisely my point. The character in question, has, in the last 380+ episodes, not given us any reason to believe that she would want to be bubble wrapped in her husband's love because she has a potentially difficult pregnancy ahead of her (and that is where I have a bone to pick with her... for later). So I would not dictate what she should wish or do. She has shown us she missed the pampering which I am sure she will get ample of.. and wants to reach newer heights professionally.
In fact, I'd really love for Dev to offer some consultancy help for a brief period.
The possibilities are endless. Especially now, when she has a feminist husband, a fairly independent 8 year old, helpful mother in law, ample household help, drivers, her parents live in the same town, her brother and 3 sisters-in-law live in the same town... everyone of them are young and active so she can always rope them in as and when needed. She lives in the day and age of video calls, remote working... I am not whitewashing the role of a parent. I am simply saying, she can have it all. She is very well covered for emergencies too.
Her brother and she are partners in this business. They can hire people to help her. She hasn't yet been medically asked to put her feet up at a 4-6 week old pregnancy.
Her mother in law is kickass... She independently brought up 4 kids in dire poverty and is learning new skills well into her retirement years. Her mother has reinvented herself at an older age.
And I thought that was the whole point of the show... That fairytales don't exist.. We live a practical life and enjoy the moments we catch (the latest rain sequence was all about that!). Soulmates become life partners.
Now the pregnancy.. I can understand why Sonakshi never followed up after Soha was born to check what exactly is going on with her reproductive health. However, for Dev & Sona to not look into it even now, i.e. after reviving their sexual lives is very disappointing. Neither of them seems to have followed up to check on the "inhospitable uterus" diagnosis. Furthermore, she visits an ob-gyn, without telling her husband... I can still ignore that, assuming she probably thought its nothing and didn't want to get anyone's hopes up.. I dont see the point of carrying all this burden on your shoulders
However, if now, Ishwari and Sona decide to play the risks down to Dev, I will find that highly disputable. Sonakshi is Dev's wife. Just as she deserved to know about her health (when Dev found out when they got married), he deserves to know about the risks his wife is carrying.. She is the mother of his child. Its very irresponsible to romanticise this and I am still holding on to the hope that this will be a joint informed decision.
