Dev Dixit is a complicated guy. He struggled a lot, had to ask and receive a lot as a stepping stone to his success.. as did his mother.
Let me tell you a story:
My grandfather was really poor. He could barely make ends meet and he had 3 sons to raise. He saw no opportunity for them so one day he took a loan and packed his family up and emigrated to another country.
It was really hard. His wife was angry because she was taken far away from her relatives. They had to all stay in a tiny room because that was all he could afford. And they worked and worked for pennies.
His older son went to work in the docks and would be gone for weeks. His middle son would sell peanuts and snacks made at home in front of a local cinema. Everyday the coins are counted for expenses and savings.
My father was the only one they sent to school. And teachers saw his potential and made him jump class as he was studying well. He finished his school leaving exam so well he won a community scholarship to study abroad.
He worked as he studied. Scholarship money was sent for his family to make ends meet. Brothers would send him fees and necessities as they too had wives and small kids. The wives toiled for their daily household income and know exactly how much was allocated to him.
When he got his degree and was due to return, a big disagreement broke at home. My father had sent a large sum of money back and the 2 bahus wanted to know who gets how much. Ugly words were exchanged and each vocally expressed how much they sacrificed for my father's studies.
It became so ugly that every single thing my father owned was split into two (even a bicycle for parts) one Bahu marched out with her family to her own house. Big drama.
My father came back to a heartbroken mother and angry elder brother and wife. He was forced to take their side and stay with them because , well he was Big brother who had taken charge after Grandfather died.
My father got married and every aunt of mine was jealous and would claim importance from my father over the stupidest things. If my father bought my mother a dress, the same thing must be bought for the niece (of equivalent age as my mother). Don't ask for logic as it does not apply.
My mother would ask for something, and her (SIL) in laws would be the one to approve if she deserves it. And duplicate must be bought for them too. They hold my father like a golden goose, who'd pay all the bills for them. He even paid for his nephews and nieces to study in Uni too and now their grandkids.
My father's 3 daughters are all professionals with their own income. He kept savings separately for us in savings that he gave us upon graduation. But his money is for his family, a fact that still bothers my mother.
For my father, it is simple. He wouldn't be here if not for his brother and his wife. He owes them his life. He'd do anything for them. He won't even discuss it. The grandkids come and claim things without deserving and he just gives and gives. It's an unquenchable debt.
Dev and his mother have this debt with Mamaji. Mamaji does not collect but GKB and Vicky have no qualms in doing so. They feel entitled and just take and ask for more. Only Mamaji has the grace to say thank you.
Dev was right. It's not about Sonakshi at all. She shouldn't get involved at all. He just got a bad scolding from his mother and his head is on fire. He was humiliated as a Businessman by his own mother, and bullied into giving a newbie a job he doesnt deserve.
He needed some time alone. Sona can afford him that. Husbands aren't always gentlemanly and courteous. You would be more valuable if you stood by and didn't add stress onto him at a difficult time.
He had to beg Vicky to take the job too. Even willing to absorb the losses and cover up for his inadequacy. For Mamaji.
Support Dev, Sonakshi. Don't be another obstacle of stress for him. Dont egg him on. Just stay out of it for now. Please. For the sake of your marriage. Dont make Dev stop discussing anything with you by issuing challenges.
