Ishity?!😆
So there are thre dixit women who are far from ideal in different levels
And then there is Sona who is close to the ideal
If the three women are finding it hard to understand Sona, I don't blame them. My problem is that the one who needs to act like bridge between them, Dev, is made so dumb. It's not Sona's duty to fix whatever is wrong with the dixit family. She is related to that family through Dev and she should deal with the problems related to that family through him. I don't like the super woman/ scapegoat avatar of Sona at all. She doesn't have to become the hated one in the family for every problem that pops up. Why doesn't Dev take responsibility like before?

Just because certain people exist in reality, we don't have to empathize with them. They (creatives) have to show a positive turn around in those characters so that we can empathize with them and the right message is passed.

You are so right. Sonakshi is totally spoiling the nice little set up Ishwari had going for so long with her devotes where whatever she did was unquestioned and accepted with utmost gratitude. And here not only Sonakshi bringing her double standards out in the open but also putting a mirror in front of her where her reality is showing up in full technicolor. No wonder Ishwari is so worried. The woman she brought in to cement her Goddess status is becoming the biggest threat to the same.

Lies always fear truth like darkness fears lights. They can only exist as long as the other doesn't show up beside them. The moment truth stands beside lies and light stands beside darkness, they are finished. They can no longer exist.

True.. And Ishu wouldn't want to see in the mirror instead will break the mirror and hurt herself with the glass pieces, then blame it on Sona foe bringing a mirror which isn't suitable to her household.. 😆

And just because these three women cannot understand Sona, they try to mock her for being the go-getter.. And we need to expect Sona to be understanding these three poor souls because they have a limited capacity in their brain and heart for anything else beyond their understanding.. And no they will not even move an inch towards getting there because that's not their place to be.. That's all reserved for the idealists and being there is a difficult job.. why struggle so much to get there while the placr where they are is lot more easy and enjoyable without much effort...

And yeah now Sona has to be put into another extreme of riding a white horse saving everyone in the Dixits' home from the evils which are specifically targeting them because of their stupidity.. Sona now runs around in that mission too like one mad woman (super woman😆) making her more intruding.. Can't she just call out her doubts loudly and warn the family about it all.. Then it can be the family's call.. Riya would want to be careful too... When she's ready for a marriage isn't she ready enough to understand the people and be aware of them as well?!

They are making this all about Sona and how like a Goddess she's gonna be saving the Dixits'.. We have enough of Goddess in Ishwari... Do we need one more?!😆

We keep saying - sona is saving the dixits just like other female leads do in typical shows-- honestly i dont see that happening.. Sona doesnt do anything all by herself.. Even in nehas case the only thing she did was to go and talk to ranveers bhabhi which ofcourse backfired.. After that what ever she did was just to try and make dev understand ... She did not pursue the matter further and left it to dev and ishwari.. I dont this this is called saving the dixits ... Yes she did try to put them on right path but they resisted and she stopped pursuing further.

All the incidents .. She did it because itnis the right thing to do..not becuase she is mahan.. Be it giving shower to dev to bring fever down or tape ishwaris toe or fry kachoris when dev asked her to do it.. Or even vickys job - she let it go and not tag along vicky and bother to see if he causes any harm to dev and his business

So pls tell me what mahan deeds did sona do so far like any other typical lead .. Sona is very well aware of her boundaries and never tries to push ppl.. Now the case of aayan.. She just told them what she saw and wanted to get ayanninvestigated further... Anyone would do that .. It is not a favor or mahan

Now ayan pressurized her to tell him what galat faimi... If he was a genuine guy he would not have made scene for such small missunderstanding .. I think this is another flag for sona to further not leave the investigation.. She genuinely cares about riya and nikki so it is understandable that she wiuld further want to try and find out more abt that guy who raised way too many red flags with his behaviour..

Also she is pretty sorted out .. She is keeping quiet wih the taunts only because she is not allowing them to affect her and she doesnt feel bad for decisions she makes or cries in front of ppl when they taunt her ... That is her strength..

All in all what i am saying is i am stilm enjoying the show and yes due to less comedy/romantic scenes the rewatch value has gone down but i enjoy the episode nonetheless..
Sona is just a regular girl with high moral values and is not mahan by any means.. (Like other female leads in tv industry)

Great points everyone. I concur. Ishwari's insecurities are being portrayed over the top. What sonakshi needs to do is put pictures of drunk Dev around the house.

As always, your humour with strong undertones of satire is funny and at the same time delivers a strong message. ⭐️

You said it all and I have nothing much to add except few thoughts on portrayal and acceptance of flawed people/characters in fiction on screen or through any other medium.

To me, flawed characters have an innate goodness in them that one can be see, feel and experience their generosity, kindness, righteousness along with their flaws. This is what differentiates a flawed character from a villain. A flawed character is grey and rarely falls into dark shades of grey as it is easier to slip into the blackness that is associated with evilness than climb back into lighter shades of grey that represents acceptably flawed as defined earlier. And Sihwari has slipped into darker shades of grey a while ago.

When it comes to Sona, I wouldn't call Ishwari merely a flawed character coz she has never exhibited an ounce of goodness towards Sona since the day Ishwari came to realize that Dev is in love with Sonakshi. One can say, Ishwari is the reason behind Sona-Dev's marraige but we all know the reasons Ish got them married was to please her son by giving him his favourite toy, to keep him from hurting and to save Dixit family from going to ruins.

When it comes to Sona, I don't see Ishwari as simply a flawed mother but as someone who has not a single good wish for Sona (she hasn't right?), she is unhappy seeing Sona happy and she is happy seeing Sonakshi unhappy and slyly causes Sona misery. Since the day sona crossed the Dixit home threshold as the bride, Ishwari didn't have a single positive thought, gesture or action that contributed to Sona's happiness. When it comes to Sona, Ishwari is malicious and I say this because she hides her illwill behind a cultured mask.

I don't call that kind of characterization grey or flawed, I see that black and nefarious. Therefore Ishwari is much more negative than a flawed character; she slipped down that slippery slope that begins as jealousy and ends at pure evil a long time ago. Right now she is lingering around the hatred level for Sonakshi and so she has already entered the realms of blackness that is attributed to antagonists but she is a masked antagonist at this stage.
