Totally agreed. He does care for Sona a lot. But the indebtedness towards his mother takes over his final decision making. Once again, this is his mental conditioning by his mother. Even if he is remotely happy in his own world with his wife, his mother is right there to "remind" him of his responsibilities towards herself and their family.
Ishwari is highly conservative with patriarchal views and she has brought up her children from that viewpoint also. But despite the constant conditioning of his mind, Dev doesn't share her orthodox views at all. He doesn't care if Sona works, or decided to go to work without discussing with him, if she can cook or do any household chores, if she can give him children or not, or she can do puja-bhajan or not and be an ideal bahu or not. He truly doesn't bother about any of that. They are equals and Sona knows that. In fact, she tells Ishwari that she and Dev are equal in their relationship (Obviously Ish doesn't like that🙄🙄).
Problem is he fell in love with a girl who was diametrically opposite to his mother.. (sometimes I wonder if it was subconscious rebellion on his part🤔😝..)
Problem is he isn't able to stand up strongly for her. I think he is constantly worried that his mother will gulp some more sleeping pills if he did.
But this time it's his daughter infront of him. Lets see, still his mother over power him. If that happens I want sona leave him permanently with shub.
S1 was somewhat relatable to dev. I was all understanding dev till shimla. After that i just dont like him. S2 non existing for me. In S3, I cannot recognise him. I am already pissed off from his behaviour.
