Interesting views!
Actually I was very impressed by Dev's direct nature from the start. He is stubborn and obstinate too, he practically bulldozed Sonakshi's life for his mother's benefit. Ruthless type.
But he was disappointing right back from when he hid their love story from everyone. She deserves to be loved in the open. She is an awesome woman, not to be romanced in secret.
People defended that it's normal to keep GFs a secret from the family. "He wanted her for himself" "for once he chose something for himself" etc. i didn't find it very romantic. She worked in his house, and he was possesive of her from the start. They would meet in his room, have cutesy convos. She had to lie about why she was waiting late for his return from work. She comes home late everyday because he says so or he will be upset with her.
He was disrespecting her by keeping her a secret. If he told his Mother from the start, she would have been forced to either accept or tell him outright that she did not approve. But no. The whole secret part became the giant issue and became a huge "mother and son" tiff, rather than a "GF-BF" unsuitability issue.
Sonakshi became the loose end, the convenient thing to cut out. Everything about Dev is his mother's and family's wants and needs. He never did make her a priority. He expected her to just fit into his family somehow and join him in making his family her priority too. He met her family before but never after they fell in love. He never asked of them only until after they broke up, that too only as a conversation piece, not that he really cares.
He is too wrapped up in his own selfish needs. "Sonakshi is wrong to marry Ritwik. She's doing this to punish me."
How dare he? Make everything about him only. Brat!
harsh? Maybe. Remember when he found out his mother didn't approve of Sonakshi?
"Everything was fine before... Ma was happy. And I did this. Sonakshi has to go."
facepalm XXL .
Dev has a long way to go before he can bring Sonakshi into his house and keep her happy. He'd just be forcing her onto his mother, and and forcing Sonakshi to deal with 2 women who openly displayed their disdain for her. Heck, however cute the guy was, no girl would put her toe into these waters!
Whatever grouses I have with the path the writers have chosen, I cant deny that the dialogue and drama is effective. it is going somewhere we would like to see, but before we get there we have to see them at their worst.
DevAkshi will be back together, but after a lot of life lessons.
