Yest epi was just galling to say the least. I just dont get this:
1) WHy do Ishwari and Bijoy keep wanting to call Sona and complain abt DEv all the time?? And Ishwari conveniently forgot that Dev was going with SOha to the doc, IShwari was dropping GOlu off at school. That left Shubh alone with the new Nanny. NOBODY In their right minds wud want that and DEv's decision to take Shubh + Nanny along was the only option he had, as a responsible parent.
2) SOna tells Ishwari that SHE is willing and WANTING to stay at home only but it is DEV who does not want her to stay??? WHAT??? When did Dev ask SOna to go back to work forcibly??? He even told her "if you also want to take care of Shubh, you also quit, let's both do it". SONA did NOT say she would. So she is blatantly LYING in saying so to Ishwari. DEv did not force her to go, he only insisted that HE WILL STAY. Big difference there! Pinting out to SOna that her work will help hundreds of children is NOT the same as forcing her to work.
3) DEv is a human being and he deserves respect from his family and his wife. Cutting into someone's conversation all the time, telling them to shut up bcos their MOm is talking is just plain rude, cheap and spiteful, SOna. I have never seen Dev talk to SOna like that, even in private. And Sona has made it a point to keep putting DEv down in front of the kids (in the older epi at the school), in front of family and now in front of outsiders (the Nanny). IN what universe is it acceptable for one partner to talk to another like this??
4) If a child is sick, the parent's primary responsibility and focus is to resolve that issue NOT to call other sundry ppl and keep giving them updates. If my child is sick, I forget everything else. When my parents crib that I did not tell them, I BITE THEIR HEADS OFF bcos my priority is my child and if they cannot understand that they do not have any real concern for my child. But Ishwari, who knew hat Dev is taking Soha to the doc, and SOna who was not even asked to come, both behave as if DEv committed a big crime by NOT TELLING them. Is it more important to ensure the child is okay or to keep calling u?
This is NOT PROGRESSIVE. This is plain female chauvinism and I do not find it enjoyable in the least to see a woman continuously act like an ingrate with the one man who has supported her career and her independence and her freedom to act as per her wish, going against his own family, her family and the world at large. Not to mention quitting his own career, which he has entirely made on his own without any siblings support (unlike SOna), a career which is his identity and which his family also happily borrows upon.
Sona came across as a control freak today, a woman who is hoping to see DEv fail so that she can once again say, I told you so!
No more Kuch Rang for me. I have no tolerance for chauvinism of any kind.
