What others have is their perspective. None of us have gone into the writers mind to accurately guess what he wanted to convey. Every story can be interpreted in a thousand ways, and yes i apologise if in my earlier replies to u i might hv sounded like i believe only i am right. Because that is never the case.
Who even said Dev wasnt selfless? The TM? Nope. She was praising Sonakshi. Why does that bother u? Sona had a 1000 things worth praising about her. She was a good friend, good daughter, good sister, good wife, good dil, good sil, and a good mother. If it wasnt the case, why would ishwari's family become happy after 7 long years? Why Dev, who was lost suddenly come back home in the truest sense after his wife and daughter entered his life. This is my perspective. Sona was neither a villain, nor was Dev some God. Everyone in the show was flawed. Everyone who watched the show had different perspectives. Kindly respect that and move on.
Really appreciate your response. I feel being a woman myself I do tend to empathize more with the female characters in a show ( not saying that I do not loathe female characters in a show if they act annoying or do something immoral. )
Whilst Dev as a character became a lot more interesting for me post leap, I still can't help but point out that he did act like a complete asshole at times. Like him saying in an print interview that Sonakshi just wants to become like Dev Dixit, him blaming and insulting Sonakshi's family time and again while not being able to bear a single word said against his own mother and as I have mentioned already the way he used to manhandle Sona. In one of the scenes he even goes on to the extent of insinuating that Sonakshi might have done something intoward to become successful 😕 But when Vicky does the same he becomes angry.
Also though it was cute to see Dev getting jelly on seeing Jatin and Sona, it also largely pointed out on his hypocrisy that while he was okay dating girls, he acts oh so wronged and hurt if Sona dares to see someone else..infact he gets mad at her as if she has done a crime by "hiding her secret relationship with Jatin".
That Dev suffered a lot and loves Sonakshi like crazy despite of everything, that he extremely sincerely apologizes for his mistakes and tries to make amends for it - is what makes him so likeable. Infact this is something I adore about Dev and Sona the most that even in the times when they were driving each other crazy, fighting and pretending as if they don't love each other at all, still there were times when they would go out of their way to protect each other and do certain things which reflected that they do love each other.
That's what love in real life is like. We get to see the best and worst of our loved ones and continue to love them still.
Sowwy about the long rant again!
