I really wish Dev's character is not going to be stooped any lower...
I don't want to see Dev hitting or losing his cool with Ritwik (as per the spoiler article). Come on Dev is mama's boy, he used to be a ruthless business man, but don't show him as sadakchap' to hit a stranger. Please CV's don't butcher his character in such way.
Instead I would like to see him realizing that his mom is not GOD as he thinks. Let him understand that she is over possessive and have behaved with Sona in a rude way. And he is in this situation only because of his mom. Ritwik's alliance was sent to Sona's house by her.
Remove the Patti' he has on his eyes when it comes to his mom. Show him behave little indifferent' towards Ishwari. This is the icing on the cake for most viewers.
