Boy stuck between Mom & GF - Precap.
The 2 women looking at the Man and asking him to choose.
Unless he simply buys both - this is so cliched.
The classic tug of war and so blatantly obvious.
The shopping plan itself was for Ishwari to show RR how she is utmost important for her Son. The pride bordering on arrogance silently saying, 'See, I told you so. I still reign'
(Obviously Dev doesn't know...but...)
Ishwari is on the fence and Sonny boy invites GF on this power shopping trip.
Now he has to choose between Mom's & GF's choice.
Sona may not be playing but she is already in the game.
This is power play at its most obvious!
In our society, we tell both our Sons & Daughters that their happiness is ours but we make sure our Daughters also learn sensitivity, the art of adjustment and adopting a new family. After all, they will go into a new household. They might get the world's best MIL but we still teach them so they are prepared for the worst.
Boys are not given this benefit. They learn this the hard way. While daughters move into a new house. Sons bring in a new person in their existing household. Adjustment, sensitivity & understanding is needed both ways.
'My mom loves me. I love You so She will love you.' Acceptance.
If life was Maths, this would be a perfect equation.
But life seems to be Chemistry - Mix the chemicals in the right proportion, at the right time to get the desired solution.
We don't live in a Sooraj Barjatya movie & balance does not come automatically. Or
Do we not teach our Sons balance because then we will have to expose our own vulnerabilities?
Dev: What is this sudden urgency to involve GF in everything?
And going by the segment today.
Ishwari does it the sly way and chooses the family photo without Sonakshi but keeping the slyness aside, I somehow agree with her - Sonakshi is not an outsider but not officially family yet either.
And if including her in the family photo is Dev's way of proposing - I will echo Sona's words - World's most unromantic proposal'.
I still would love to see Dev get the family photo that includes Sonakshi & keep it on his office table but officially putting it up on the home wall - too much too soon.
