Hey fangirl.. Brilliant question i must say. This has made me contemplate a lot and I have a lengthy answer!
Firstly, its a very hard choice to make because as I always say and believe - Marriage is a gamble, you may have a track record of winning/losing but you don't know how the gamble will turn out in the end. You may lose or win everything.
Now, our decisions are based on choices we make, and that is how our destiny plays and the choices make or break us.
So the real choice is NOT what is important to you, the real choice is what is it that will break you - a bad family, financial problems, infidelity, no attraction, family environment - too conservative or partner incompatibility.
The choice one should make must be based on what is it that we can't do without. That will tell you where your true happiness lies.
As per our show, for Sona and Dev - compatibility, love, trust and respect were never an issue. Infact though they came from different backgrounds and cultures, they are exactly like each other - their sensibilities and thoughts are similar to each other.
The bone of contention is Dev's mother - which is a journey in itself.
In real life, Ritwik would have been a better choice than Dev, till the point of break-up and the sorted positive approach towards life. Also, Dev's true redemption never happened although he loves Sona immensely.
But the heart wants what it wants.
Dev is a perfect choice - because for Sona, love was the first choice. her happiness lies with someone she truly loves and rest all is secondary. That is why though Ritwik ticked all the boxes of being a perfect husband, he didnt qualify in her books.
As of talking for myself, I would have chosen Dev. Because if there is love, trust and compatibility, then I can deal with a bad family. Also a known devil is better than an unknown one. Who knows what issues Ritwik would bring in.
