Whenever Dev is in a tight spot, he ends up taking impulsive actions n wrong decisions. And once he regrets his mistake, he never loses anytime to rectify it. Thats why even though Sona first felt attracted towards Dev during the dance seq, she actually fell in love after the accident after gradually seeing the caring, sensitive side of Dev.


And going by his nature, he again took an impulsive decision to breakup with Sona. Though I was expecting breakup scene to be mutual, cordial n lot of crying n understanding. But breakup happened in Aubhodro style...hurtful, accusatory, guilt ridden, angry. Then I thought maybe he will realise his method was wrong n apologise for not considering Sona's feelings n Sona wud also understand his reason n both will mutually agree to.part ways. But he is still thinking abt his feelings only, he hasnt even thought how difficult it is for Sona. Waiting for the moment when he will feel sorry n apologise to Sona.


Yes the CVs are definitely doing injustice by not showing a self talk along the line of-
" Sonakshi must be in so much pain. I can't even apologized to her. It won't mean any thing any more any ways . It won't help her in her pain. Does she remember me ?? Miss me ?? Still love me ?? "

He just tried to keep a lid on his thoughts on Sona , becoz once he starts to think about how much he'd wronged her ( he'd know, how could he not that what he did with Sona was so very wrong . ) , it'd open the flood gate of his heart. He could bear to live n bear the pain of his own pain of staying away from Sona, but the moment he starts reflecting on what suffering he'd caused her he won't be able to stop himself from going to her , throwing himself at her feet n then at her arms n declare himself as hers. But he couldn't do that due to his blind devotion to his mother.

You definitely love making such thought provoking posts, don't you?😉
Yes, Dev is definitely a character with a lot of dimensions. There are times when you fall in love with his sweet gestures and others where you dislike his blind love towards his mother.,some where he makes you swoon with his words and others where he shocks you with his naive actions.
There is this scene where Dev gives flowers to sona that were given to him by Natasha and Sona refuses to take them and then he goes and innocently asks his mother why she didn't stop him from forwarding those flowers. 😆So his intentions are not wrong, but his manner of presenting those are sometimes.(this flower thing was so hilarious and silly).
Do I still dislike the way he broke up? Yes. Does he still need to realise what he did wrong cos he sure hasn't yet? Yes. Does he love Sona? Yes, very much, he just needs to realise that it is possible to love two people and balance their relationships.

He is bossy, rude,naive,sweet,romantic,caring all rolled in one. I can't help but love him for his sweetness, hate him for hurting Sona the way he did , feel for him when I see that no one in the family truly understands him and feel his pain when he is all alone and missing her so much.

All that said, as a character, he is not bad, he has flaws like everyone does and has made mistakes that can be corrected.

@gargi: In blue: He was soo adorable after her accident.so caring,so compassionate. Yes he had definitely started falling for her at that point.

Excellent thoughts , thanks for sharing them with us. 👏

Yes Dev is a study in contradiction , through out the 125 episodes of the show this has been established as an unrefutable fact that Dev Dixit is a study in contradictions. Ishwari made sure she always remains his top priority and it was easy for her to emotionally manipulate him because well...Ish was always with him from a very tender age , so brain washing was done well n good.
Yes she grew him up to be a provider , an ATM card , n drilled it into his head from an impressionable age that he must always worship his mother.
He'd developed a mad obsession loyalty devotion co dependence on his mother . Does that give him right to hurt others n cause collateral damage ??? Surely not ! Absolutely not !
Bus let's at least acknowledge the fact that he's shown traits of soft affection n kindness that warms our hearts.

My thoughts on the characterization of Dev Dixit
  • Impulsive does not think of the consequences of the action but once he does he makes every effort to remedy it
  • Childlike quality seems to be a little bit emotionally stunted- maybe because of Easwari Mollycoddling and never real had a chance to experience Adulthood or proper childhood
  • An almost obsessive responsibility towards his family members probably instilled again by Easwari drilling in his head that he is the Man of the House
  • Ruthless gets what he wants when he wants it probably because he had to compete in an aggressive Business environment
  • Innocence again may also called childlike where when he fell in Love with Sona he almost wanted to have her for himself like a child loves a toy not wanting to share. I dont think he realized the promises he made were very Tall and difficult to keep.

In this Mix comes Sona who is as different from Easwari as Chalk to cheese who expects him to be a Man but he is just a manchild..maybe the Journey of Dev from boy child to Man will be shown now

I am still pondering over this Gargi 😕.. Will update the post shortly ... BTW, thought to comment first but only thing I was able to write was a simple RES 😆

UNreS #EDIT


Dev Dixit ... A complicated character or should I say a layered character ?

His actions are quite a oxymoron. Sometimes outspoken, judgemental, tempestuous and recognising.

Outspoken, everything is open.. anger,confession of love. Hammer it. He is straight forward in this matter.

Judgemental, he lashed his anger at Sonakshi, without knowing the whole incident. He broke her phone, brutally.

Tempestuous, he is really emotional when comes to his family. Thanks to Ishwari, she always helps him to remember his past (sarcasm alert !). He becomes blind and forgets everything else when it comes to the happiness of his family. Remember his efforts to get Ranveer employed in his office for Neha.

Recognising, he acknowledges one's abilities always. Be it, Natasha or Sonaskshi. Remember, he offered a holiday package for people who donated blood to Sonakshi. He appreciated Tina's efforts too.

But, we have found his actions quite opposite to the above mentioned traits --
He didn't even tell his mother about his relationship.He was brave enough to call off his engagement risking his business,But he couldn't simply make his mother understand his happiness existing in this relation.

Coming to his mother's actions, he was never judgemental.😡

While he broke off with Sonakshi, he was livid. His emotions were only towards his mother.He took decision unanimously whereas the relation was mutual. Plus, all he did to help Sonakshi to recover her accident was on pure humanitarian grounds. He didn't realise when did Sona become important for him.More than his mother's nutritionist. His timing was the night before his engagement ! Such a confused soul 😆

He was utterly unprofessional,when it came to terminating Sonakshi's job for his mother. Firing her from her mother's personal nutritionist job was another one and thirdly, arguing with her new boss too ! He mixed his personal and professional life !

He respects others views, yet is always firm in his opinions. We can find instances for it when he was buying a house for an extra amount in the same locality where he lived his childhood.

"Jo bhi cheez pasand aajati hai use paane ke liye main kuch bhi kar sakta hoon"

This was what he was telling about himself to Natasha.

"Aap best hain. Yuhi nahi maine aapko paane ke liye itni mehenat ki hai, ... I mean as a nutritionist of course "

He is a man of desires. He believes in achieving things he craves for . Most important of all, he is stubborn. He was pertinacious in making Sonakshi work for him as his mother. He conveniently forgets everything when it comes to his mother. He worships his mother but not God.


He is the same man, who broke his relation with Sonakshi just in fit of emotions for his mother. Whereas, when he was asked to take advantage of Gujral's allegations and Natasha not supporting her father, he chose not to comment as he respected Natasha. Much professional right ? 😕 (Consider my above statement)


Studying his character traits, we find that his personality has been shaped by turn of events always. He acts without even thinking sometimes, but when he realises it, he repents, acts back, makes sure that he makes up the mistake. But there must be someone who must give their piece of mind to him. Be it Ishwari, Mama or Sonakshi. Verbatim.

To err is human, and no human is perfect ! We fall before we start walking. Dev would definitely in a course of time, refine himself.

My sincere advice to Dev would be --

"One of the most critical decisions made in life is choosing with whom to spend your time. For it is those close relationships that gradually mold our character until we become a reflection of the company we keep."


👏👏Very well put..
@in blue: Yes, bravery and cowardice both in one. A proper discussion was really required instead of just believing shallow words his mother said when her expressions were quite contrary.

@in red: I really hope he realizes his mistake without anybody having to show him the mirror.I guess entry of Ritwik will be a catalyst. On the other hand,Sona should also give a piece of her mind.I feel that too is required.

@in pink: Beautiful and true
