IF this show is about how an insecure mother learns her lessons and turns into a better MIL, how a son comes out of his "maa is my everything" to acknowledging the face that " his spouse" is an equally important lady in his life and about how a DIL helps both these people grow emotionally and in the process, betters herself as a person, then the current track is NOWHERE on these lines. CV's please stick to your original storyline and dont change the story due to either TRP or any other factors. its time that we see realistic shows and not hunky dory images where all ends well or even a show where the leads get to marry each other even after each of them marrying 2 or 3 three different people !!!!!
My POV on the characters and how i expected them to be based on the initial promos.
1. DEV - today we get to see a hopeless Dev who makes all the OTT promises to his GF and yet when he sees everyone hurting her emotions , he never for once raises as much as an eyebrow over it. come on man, agree that MAA is your world and as said so often by you, you really cant see anything else when it is about her in question. May be i can relate to certain extent that all your senses are lost out of the window when it is something concerning her and knowing that she tried to end her life because she is not able to come to terms with your relationship with sonakshi, you impulsively take the decision to break your relationship... I am waiting to see how you break the news to sona before i can judge you on this. I have seen these kind of situations in real life where the parents try the emotional blackmail and make you feel guilty to the extent that you lose all your senses and end up making grave mistakes and yet neither party stands by you and ultimately you are only one at loss. i wish to see Dev making a comeback after the breakup, he trying to get his hold and an emotionally stronger Dev who realises that every relation has its space and no relation is above another especially between the spouse vs mother. I want dev to make all efforts in wooing back his lady love, leaving no stone unturned.. i want him to see the colours in other relations also ( say sibling etc) and accept that the fact that his mom is "human" and not "GOD"
2. Sona - i understand that she want to be accepted whole heartedly and expects equal partnership in a relationship. between Dev and Sona, its always sona who exhibited hert emotions more freely , be it as a free spirited girl, a strong woman or a lady hopelessly in love. . But why suddenly when someone is treating her nastily, she put up a brave face and make it look like everything is under control!!!!
and coming to DEV, she is aware of his shortcoming, his vulnerabilities and its she and only she who has seen the shades in him that are not shown even to his "mother". in that perspective when he decided to break up , does Soan try to open up a communication with him??? see what he is going through... i agree she will be totally shattered hearing him say about the breakup and the agony that come with it will cloud her for a few days. but remember she are the only " friend" with whom he shared his deepest worries, would she as a friend not even think about his mental state when he said those words. from the previous episodes it was she who said if you seriously love a person, you would not mind waiting for him for eternity during natasha incident. I want to see this character as a strong woman who retains her identity and in the process helps DEV to get a spine. as said during his confession " Dev wants to become a better person because of Sona" I really want to see Sona becoming his lighthouse and guiding him on the emotional front. he needs it badly . Last but not least, when we accept a person, its along with his falsies. during this acceptance stage, its we who get burnt and bruised.
3. Eshwari - she is no doubt a very possessive mother who did not share her son even with her own daughters. its not that she does not want her son to be happy . her biggest fear is that she will be replaced by Sona in her son's life. may be initially she will be happy with the breakup that her son chose her over sona, but during the phase of breakup , i want her to realise that her son is living but not alive. the " SPARK " in him is gone. he becomes a zinda laash ( sorry i cannot find a right term in english for this) . it becomes the turning point for her to start an introspective journey from where she emerges as a better person realizing that relationship dont compete with each other , rather every new relationship compliments the other and culminates into the rainbow of colours in our lives.
4. Neha- i always felt this character will be the catalyst in Eshwari's realizations. she with her indepth insight into her mother is the only person who can see beyond her external facade. its more like she reads ishwari's mind. there is a lot of hope for this character as a sibling who lived through the worst crisis of the family. as dev often said, only he and neha are aware of the circumstances that made the Dixits to be what they are today. She surely will have a bigger role to play during the breakup . i think with her character, we get to see the actual storyline of a mil- son -dil journey as promised by Yash patnaik during his interview.
sorry for a long post, but this is what i expect from a show that has the guts to come out of the box and embark on realistic storyline.
