I am fearful for Ayush. Nahi toh Ishwari usko dusra dev hi bana degi. I didn't realise this similarity between dev and ayush untill Ishwari mentioned it yesterday, that both of them lost their fathers at this very young age. This means that both were emotionally vulnerable, and then there was the strong presence of Ishwari in their lives. We are getting to see a lot of her parenting style actually (which is extremely authoritative and manipulative). Like she did yesterday with ayush - getting a toy for him, for giving him pizza and then showing off (yes, showing off because she could have done it discreetly) that she hadn't eaten as well. This is also manipulation, where the child's feelings get sidelined and he feels sorry for the adult or pressured by them. Things like this must have happened a thousand times with Dev. No wonder it has become almost impossible for him to stand up in front of her. Agar Kuch der ayush Ishwari ke paas raha, toh one more Dev will be born.
About Dev, he really looked like he has given up yesterday. The way he asked kyu kiya yeh, and khudh hi nahi samajh paya. I was toh shocked he even accepted as ishwari's fault in front of Ayush which means he is not blind to it. I just wish he had consoled ayush in a different way ki sirf paper mai Dixit hoga and naam ayush hi rahega. And I loved how he said ki agar mummi papa hote toh aisa nahi hone dete. Ayush has started to trust him and sona clearly.
Last but not the least, I feel like the whole family should just abandon Ishwari. It may sound very rude or ungrateful but I don't see any other way
