Fact of the matter is Dev is exactly like Ishwari. If one looks closely they have the same behaviour patterns and suffer from obsessive disorder.
The object of their affection becomes exactly that - an object for them, their prized possession.
The way Ishwari is insensitive to Dev's feelings, same way Dev is insensitive to Sonakshi.
It's not that they can't see how much the object of their affection is suffering, as per them it is irrelevant because they care for only themselves.
Their's is the love that destroys, it is almost like a pythons death grip.
Since Ishwari brought Dev up since childhood she has robbed him of the capability to fight against her grip. Sonakshi brought up in a normal environment is strong and therefore resisting, thereby leading to Dev's breakdown.
But if one looks closely, the stage is also being slowly set for Ishwari's greatest downfall. Sonakshi is slowly and steadily becoming more important for Dev than Ishwari. The marriage will surely take place as Dev is progressively losing his sanity and Ishwari will have no recourse but to agree. Sonakshi is also way too emotional for Dev. 🥱
But Now when Sonakshi enters the Dixit house she will be in a position superior to Ishwari and Ishwari's obsession will worsen.
It will make an interesting watch if they stop glorifying the madcap family and show them for what they really are. Don't project it as a love story. It is a story of ugly and unhealthy love- let it be that. Let them show the mother and son duo acknowledging and understanding what is wrong with them and coming out of it.
