My pleasure, it was a delightful and insightful post..

Loved your thoughts on 'What women want' ...

Thank you!

For a change, makers of an Indian TV show have done one of the best things - acknowledged that the audience is intelligent and their simple, straight forward writing confirms this!
The phase Indian television is going through showcasing stories I cannot begin to describe, this show has simply broken through the clutter and compelled some really insightful discussions. The discussions here are as much a pleasure as the show itself...

I hope the makers continue in this vein, especially now that they are entering the tricky phase. This is the real litmus test actually. Can they show a strained relationship on account of issues at his end and still make it palatable, no engaging for the largely female audience?

Yesterday was a century completed and they do need to pace themselves to journey onwards but for some reason, I was left 'disturbed' after watching the episode yesterday. It answered many questions, packed many emotions in short 22mins but something somewhere just wasn't right. But I reserve all my thoughts until tonight's episode as I have seen the Writers usually address unfinished sentiments in the next episode...

Just addressing the much-awaited & now much talked about Kiss on the forehead. It portrayed the reflex action of someone upset with a loved one. 'I love you but I am upset and need space'. Dev in the heat of moment doing what he would naturally do if not treading carefully around Sona's reticence. This was him being him! Nice...

I like how you interpret that scene

Although the whole scene took me back to their earlier disagreement (again due to different approaches to Neha-Ranveer) when Dev offered Ranveer a job and Sona got offended with the 'class difference' statement. As Sona walked away, we got a restless Dev waiting in the rain for 2hrs to tell Sona never ever to walk away without finishing a fight. A promise that Sona made then & she kept it by calling out to him the next morning...
Dev however walked away now, couldn't get himself to call her, couldn't make the first move to bridge the gap. He sat at the dining table throwing glances at her & would have walked away then if she hadn't stopped him...

A promise Dev made Sona make but couldn't get himself to act on it!

Makes me think of many promises he's been making!! but the few Sona makes, she will stand by them...

Sorry... This went on for longer than I intended... Owe it to my 'disturbed' state and the engaging show that this is 😃
and guess the strategy is to focus on the passionate emotions now and keep the physical expression for when words may not work 😊

First comes first - beautiful post and replies too.
I agree with each one of you and your POVs. I think Dev is bringing back his arrogant , I dont care , selfish attitude along with his lover boy image. Now that he knows Sonakshi shares the same feeling and loves him very much ( task accomplished successfully ) he is getting back to his self and trying accommodate his lover boy character along with other shades so that he can concentrate on other things .

Yesterday, Dev sticking to his point and not being the first to apologies showed his egoistic nature. I loved the subtle approach Sonakshi took to give in to some one whom she loves so much but still sticking to her POV.

If there is a separation track , I really want to see our old Sonakshi who faced him strong , giving him back properly. I dont want to see a typical love struck , heartbroken , sad lead lady who thinks if her guy dumps her , there is nothing more kept in life.

I also want to see Sonakshi , enjoying life with her family and friend circle. Now its like ONLY him..probably CV team is doing this to show " new found feeling of being in love among them "

Lovely reply and I found myself nodding as I read it.

I know that yesterday's episode showcased all the main plot elements of this show but I was not a happy viewer at the end of it..

Somehow after watching yesterday's episode I ended up feeling bad for Sona being caught in the midst of this complex Dixit family dynamic. Strangely enough I did not get that feeling because of that scene with Ishwari because that one actually made sense. She does not know they are in a relationship so she can feel emotional about her son not eating something she knows he loves and which she made with a lot of effort. My mother is that way too, she makes stuff that is unhealthy but will obviously be hurt if we avoid it completely.

I felt bad for Sona after her cafe date with Dev actually. The vibes from the scene indicate a relationship driven by him - when to get into it, when to make it public (even when it seemed to mean a lot to her to go public but he dismissed it rather casually), when to stay apart with little room for her to influence any major milestone. Even all the love that he showers on her somehow could not banish that feeling..

I really liked this line in another thread ...Sona needs to move out of Dixit house, needs to stop roaming the house looking for someone to heal...Her value in his life is not on account of her ability interfere and help him resolve his family issues. I so want her to have a life of her own..Post the accident phase, that aspect diminished on the show, everything about Sona became about Sona-Dev whereas there are many things about Dev on the show that have nothing to do with Sona. I would have liked the fight to be about Dev/Sona and not Neha who does not even know Sona..

To your point on his approach to the fight and his promises - agree. He made her agree on how they would handle disagreements but did not stick to the template himself! Perhaps the makers wanted to show balance. After all they made him wait in the rain when she walked away, so they wanted her to make the move this time :) Which is all right as long as it was just about this disagreement..I do hope he is able to fulfill the promises he made to this girl. It is he who initiated the relationship, she had actually made her peace with his engagement and handled herself with dignity..

First comes first - beautiful post and replies too.

Loved your analysis and the reply. Yes, We need to see the supportive Sonakshi's family. Right now, they are in their own world..
