I guess Natasha's character was introduced -
- to depict Sonakshi's emotions, jealously and heartbreak and to stop her confession
- to highlight that Dev has no love like feelings for Sonakshi and being a businessman, he can even consider marrying for a business deal. So his dilemma about his own personal life, love and marriage where Sonaksh would help him figure out his feelings
- And finally to show Ishwari's uneasiness with Dev's marriage - why she doesn't want Dev to get married ever, so it would not be just about Sona but with any other girl too
- And obviously to extend the love realization phase, if both of them confess so quickly then how the story would progress.
They wanted to show Natasha as a more suitable alliance for Dev and still Dev will fall for Sonakshi. But till now Natasha looks very fake and dull. Her dialogues and actions doesn't match with top 10 business woman of country image. She looks too desperate to get married to Dev. And none of Natasha's emotions are shown - how she feels about Dev taking so long for accepting the proposal. We don't really know what she feels, so its difficult to connect with her character.
Since Natasha has been so unimpressive, I am hoping that new guy would bring some much needed pace to the show. Initially even I didn't like so many love angles, but if they sketch this new guy character as anti-Dev, like successful and smart yet fun and loving guy, then it would be good. Natasha is seriously no competition for Sonakshi. if taking his family out for shopping is Nat's achievement, then Sonakshi has done far more important things for his family.
phew too long 😉
