Today's episode starts with Bose family because all actions are happening there. Who wants to see Dixit family's whiny drama anyway? Not me.

Bijoy guesses absolutely right why Elena was "allowed" to come there after seven years. Sonakshi first doesn't think so. But later agrees that Bijoy is right. She says that Soha doesn't want to meet Dev. But if Dev finds out he will come in front of Soha. Soha is not prepared for this.

Me: You have no idea darling, what your daughter is prepared for. She can handle anything. After all, she is your daughter. But can't blame you there. She is also her secretive father's secretive daughter.


Dev constantly calls Elena and keeps on texting her. Elena tells him that not yet. It will take time.

Elena tells everyone that she has a son. Sona is surprised to hear that Elena became mother so soon. Elena tries to show Golu's pic but the cell phone battery goes off. Sona can't see Golu's pic.

Me: Darling, aap to iss baare mein kuch bolo hi mat. Aapne kaun sa saalbhar wait kiya tha bachhe paida karne mein? Kam se kam Elena ki to majboori thi ki uske saas ne uski pill badal di. Aap to apne saas se brownie points kamane ke chakkar mein maa banna chahti thi.

Sourabh and Ronita comes down and both agrees for marriage. Bose and Mondol family hug.

Me: You know meri hamesha ki pet peeve hain ki jab main movie dekhne jaati hoon to movie se pehle itna ad aata hain ki meri three quarter extra-buttered popcorn aur pepsi movie shuru hone se pehle hi khatam ho jaata hain. Yahan bhi yehin problem hain. Interesting portion ka wait karte karte meri pepsi aur patience dono khatam ho rahee hain. Waise bhi supply to mere paas dono ka kam hain. Stalker bhaiya kidhar hain?

Bijoy was looking at Golu's pic when Dev sends Elena sms which shows up on top of the pic. Bijoy reads Dev's sms before battery goes off. He doesn't say anything until Mondols leave. But after they leave, he blasts Elena for coming to their house after so many years as Dixit's spy and tells Asha, Sona and Dida what Elena did. He tells Elena to go and never return. Elena leaves crying.

Dev sees Elena coming out crying and asks her what did she find out. Elena tells him what happened. Dev tells her is she a little girl? She should have made some excuse. Elena requests him to let them be today. But Dev tells that he gave her a "chance" to join them in their happiness. Now he will have to do something. He tells her to stop crying and go home and he will come after he finds about Soha. Elena leaves weeping.

Me: Elena, I wish I could feel for you. But just like Bhaiya, you are paying the price of the choices you made. You had been taking Bose family's unconditional love and trust for granted too many times. How many free pass did you expect to get? You ran away with Vicky without informing them, they forgave you. You cut all relationship with them for seven years when they lost everything, they still welcomed you. But when you agreed to spy on your own family? That's the lowest you could fall. Now you have lost the family who would have been there when you needed them without asking anything in return for the family who only kept asking you to do their bidding. You don't know your husband's reality yet. Where will you go when you find out that? You also, just like Bhaiya, threw away Diamonds for glass pieces. You can put a broken glass together. But once trust is broken, it never comes back together the same unmarked way.


And Bhaiya, what a way to treat a pawn. Now that she is no longer useful for you obviously her tears are not even worth noticing. Kudos. What upbringing you got from your mother. So obviously you can use people for your own end to get to the daughter you may or may not have. But God forbid, Bijoy Bose does the same for the daughter he has. The whole world won't stop blaming him.


Elena comes home still crying and everyone asks her what happened. She says that her family was so lovingly hugged her but she messed up. Ishwari asks her what she found out about Dev. Elena says that she was thrown out because Dev asked her to spy on them about a little girl and she got caught. Ishwari is shocked hearing about the girl.

Me: Elena, you have lived with the Dixits for so long, you have become like them Dev asked you to spy on your family and you agreed? Dev never had any loyalty to anyone but his family, so he will ask you to spy on them is not surprising. But you? You are the one who agreed to betray your own family. So don't blame Dev here for your shitty nature.

And Ishwari, what a lovely way to console a weeping girl. You and Dev no one gives a damn about your pawns, do you? She is crying so hard and both of you are thinking how soon she can tell you if she got the job done or not. She might be a disloyal daughter. But you two have no loyalty to the girl who picked your family over hers either. That's the price I guess Elena has to pay for choosing the ungrateful family like yours.


Bhaiya gets frustrated and jumps into Sona's room and sees Soha and Sona's pictures. But nope. The two dots are still not getting connected. He starts going through documents. He finds their wedding album and the proof he needed to connect the two dots. He remembers the relevant information now that he knows the spoiler (P.S. Suhana was born in Kolkata. But that also means Sonakshi came to Delhi to tell Dev about Suhana. Think about it before blaming her). He gets very happy to find that he has a daughter. But even more happy to know that Sonakshi was pregnant with his child.

But he gets caught. Soha finds him there (told you, Soha got her mother's detective skills). He gets teary eyed and waves at her. But hides when he hears Sonakshi coming.

Me: Bhaiya, I understand what you are feeling. Just imagine, this strong, independent, compassionate bundle of joy is yours. How lucky you are Bhaiya that Sonakshi raised your daughter, eh? What an incredible daughter to claim as your own, no?

Soha promptly reports back to her mother that Golu's BigCha was in her room. But Sona says that is he BigCha or Bigfoot that she sees everywhere. So Soha tries to piece back how did he came from window. Sona thinks may be he is superman but doesn't want to meet her.

Me: *Snort* if only you knew Sonakshi.

Anyways, guess what Bhaiya does next?

Yep.

He goes back home practically twirling in the air and he emotionally hugs his mother. He says that he is no longer a son, a brother, failed husband but also a father.

Me: Bhaiya, got enlightened. He admitted that he is a failed husband. This is truly a miracle.


He tells Ishwari that he has a daughter and she is the cutest thing in the world. Ishwari is happy seeing her son happy. Radha and Vicky fumes.

Me: It is very emotional scene. But since I am a realist and I know Ishwari. Why do I have the feeling that Ishwari got a new toy for her son to lure him back under her thumb. After all Sonakshi toy is useless now because she knows Ishwari's reality. Now Bhaiya handed over another innocent weapon to the psycho lady to use as a pawn.

Bhaiya, you could not control your mother from constantly interfering, lying and going behind your back to harass Asha and Sona despite your repeated warning. How will you control the situation, Bhaiya when you couldn't control her after a million insults?

Do you think she is going to sit still waiting for you to handle the situation? This is the tool she was waiting for seven years to get you back in her control. Now she doesn't even need to share you with another woman because as long as she dangles the toy in front of you, you will dance to her tune again. And you handed it to her.

This is the time I wish you had a friend like Jatin to go to. Your family is not the family with whom you share information without thinking about what they might use against you.

Wait until Vicky unleashes on your unsuspecting daughter.


Precap: Dev asked Soha what she knew about her father. Soha tells him that she never met him. But her mother said he is a good man. Dev is pleasantly surprised. Dev asks Soha if she knows who her father is. Soha tells him Dev Dixit. Dev is surprised. He asks if she doesn't want to meet her father.

Me: Now you know, why it was a great idea for Sonakshi to tell Soha everything? Honesty is underrated in today's world. But it is the best policy every single time.

RESERVED YAAY! This might take a little while to edit since I got so much to say. Now, off to reading your post.

Edited.

This might get a bit too lengthy but please kindly bare with me. 😆


Tia, your place is a safe haven for us all. <3 I don't know how this forum is like outside of your topics but I choose your place to talk than make myself my own topic because I was certain this is the best place to do so and worth the wait. Thank you for being such an incredible torch bearer to us all! 🤗 Another thing I absolutely love about this place other than you, your views or your commentary is how this placed is full of amazing views. Usually, any thread that goes beyond, say 6-8 pages, either an Appreciation thread or a thread that has transformed itself into a battle ground but yours can cross 30+ pages and it'll have such good material to read. I can't help but go through the entire thread and go on 'liking' because each post (may be different in views) but has something good to offer.


I have always wondered what the writers must be smoking? Or what makes them write the way they do? Why are they so utterly confused about their own show and its characters but an epiphany of sorts dawned upon me after yesterday's episode. (Yeah, kinda too late there. 😆) I always assumed that the writers are probably unsure of their own characters, how to shape them up and how to take the story forward in a way that brings them TRPs, keeps the channel happy and at the same time keep the audiences glued. And thus, so much of chaos and confusion. BUT OH NO. 😳


If they can write a family of characters; Bose family and write a family of characters; Dixit family and on innumerable occasions and instances themselves show the contrast (boils down to toxic vs non-toxic) between the two families so well then, what stops them from writing Ishwari and Dev in a way they should be? 😳 The answer is the writers are doing it all on purpose. Intentionally. Consciously. Deliberately. Willingly. THAT is exactly where I fail to understand what they're trying to achieve through it or what are they trying to convey through their show?


Might be easier said than done but for a moment, I'll put myself in their shoes and see what I would do with the show. Lets say, I have a story full of flawed characters and my story aims at a blend of realism and idealism within the boundaries of a fictional world.


Through Ishwari, they wanted to establish that they're mothers, women and human beings like hers out there. Okay, check.


Through Dev, they wanted to establish that they're sons out there whose top priority are their mothers and they value mother-s0n relationship to the utmost. Okay, check.


Through Sonakshi, they wanted to establish what happens to the dynamic between a mother and son who are bound by the toxic love and relationship that they share when a woman whose everything Ishwari is not enters their lives. Okay check.


Through DevAkshi's story they wanted to establish what a complicated and complex web relationships are and can be and if such relationships (love, familial, everything included) can stand the test of people, time and fate and if yes, then how. If how then what's the way to go about doing it in such a way that it still conveys a universal message of 'united we stand, divided we fall'. Okay, check.


With a season 2, they had the perfect opportunity, chance and scope to shape their characters in such a way that those who despised Ishwari could start connecting to her again, those who loathed Dev could start falling for him again, those who doubted Sonakshi could begin to understand her. There was one sure shot way to achieve this goal and it's called REDEMPTION. Sans Sonakshi and her family, I personally find every character to be a joke in this show. I see absolutely no growth, no progress, no development, no nothing in Ishwari and Dev.


Now, if I wanted my reader/viewer in a conflicted position, in a position where I'd want them to root for DevAkshi to happen, in a position where they could feel for Dev, in a position where they could sympathize with Ishwari, in a position where they'd literally be dying to sell their kidneys off if it meant a happy reunion between the two families and more importantly, DevAkshi.


What would I need to do to achieve that state? Give every flawed character, every character who has wronged the other, every character who needs it badly; redeeming qualities. Make them suffer so bad and to the degree that each one of us could just not bear it any longer and unanimously scream, 'please, stop it'. Enough. They wronged, they suffered, they redeemed themselves, it's time to give them a second chance at happiness, at love, at life.


But what's been happening in the show, it is only glorifying all that should NOT be glorified. 😳 It's either been glorifying or justifying every single thing that Dev and Ishwari say or do. They have got no sense of remorse, they feel and show no guilt, they are so goddamn blinded to their own share of faults and mistakes, they don't feel the need for introspection, retrospection and redemption, they're always going on about how others have wronged them but can't see how badly they have played with others lives. It's always I, ME and MYSELF. 🤪


Now, it's beyond me to even begin to understand or even try to root for DevAkshi's happy end. I mean, why would I want Sona to go back to Dev? In that hell hole, again? To have a second innings at toxic relationships? To try and experience another level or another kind of Hell? Unless and until, the track/story proceeds in such a manner where I get to see Dev and his family literally rot in Hell, go to the moon and back in order to win Sonakshi and Soha's love, I ain't buying this 'unconditional, undying and selfless love' Dev has for Sonakishi. Unless Dev convinces me that's dying without Soha AND Sonakshi, unless he's showing us he can't do without the TWO of them in any universe, unless he's proving himself to be worthy of Soha's father and Sonakshi's husband again, I can't make myself feel an ounce of emotion for the love of DevAkshi.


As for how Dev's character is still likeable, the show owes it all to Shaheer Sheikh. If it wouldn't have been for him, I wouldn't have felt an ounce of emotion on his ecstasy upon figuring out (like, finally!) that he's Soha's father. I CAN BET that Ishwari will be soon seen going the following,


'Jaa Dev, meri poti aur Bahu ko ghar le aa'.


She'll be reinstated to her Goddess-like status and we see get a round two of how Dev ran to Sonakshi post break up after he got momma's approval. 😆 All of my teeny weeny hopes now are on Soha. She better give Dev one hellva time in the custody battle making sure her father regrets for every single mistake of his and repents for each one of them.


PS It's amusing, really. Brain ko side mein rakh kar yeh show dekho toh comedy lagta hai aur brain ke saath dekho toh tragedy. 😳 🤣

You are too late today.. Watched the episode before the verdict..😆 Anyway finally Sherlock Holmes cracked the code...👏😆
And ran to mummy to announce "Maa, you have become grandmother".. "Maa, your son has become a father".. "Maa, a beautiful bachchi, Maa.. Her name is Suhana, Maa"...
Maa asks "Arey really.. I know it.. I told you to try elsewhere and not underestimate yourself" Maamaji asks "Arrey who is the mother beta?" Dev says "Oh yeah I forgot about her.. It's Sonakshi"🤣

Tia,your post was mindblowing and awesome as usual.👏


I felt bad for Elena today.Both the Mother-Son duo were behaving as if they cared a damn about her.Dev was being extremely insensitive and Ishwari couldn't see beyond herself.Heights of selfishness!!Dev was behaving as if he is her boss and she is his employee who didn't di her job properly.And Ishwari was more concerned about Dev's whereabouts.Thodi si sympathy,thoda concern dikhane se kya bigad jaata inka??
But then as you said Elena is paying for her own actions.She left such a loving family for her so called love Vicky.Ab Vicky ke saath Dixit family bilkul free main mili.


Well today Dev's first reaction was happiness.Not anger,not betrayal but happiness.Pure,unadulterated joy.And it was natural of him to react like that.He had a daughter.He was a father now.He had experienced on of the most blissful feelings ever.As he was overwhelmed with happiness,Dev 2.0 was suppressed and Dev 1.0 returned.

And today Shaheer's acting was marvellous.He nailed it today.

When Dev 1.0 returned,he forgot everything what had happened in the past and the first person with whom he shared this joyful news was Ishwari.Because one of Dev 1.0's most prominent traits was his love and devotion for Ishwari.Chalo dono Maa-Bete ka emotional punar milan hogaya.Tauba tera jalwa,tauba tera pyaar.Tera emosanal atyachaar.
Dev and Ishwari were like dhol nikalo,bhangra shuru karo!! Iss ghar ki beti aarahi hai.

I could see what was going on in Dev's mind.Everything would be perfect now.He could finally have his entire family together.His mother,his wife and his daughter.He would have Sona and his daughter back.That was the first thought that came to his mind because Dev always wanted Sonakshi to be there beside him.
His mind was clouded with happiness.He started building castles in the air.He assumed that Suhana will mend everything and everything will be as he wants it to be.Sonakshi will be back,his daughter will be there,his mom will be there.Sab kuch pehle jaisa hojayega.But Dev Babu jaisa aap chaho sab kuch waisa hi ho yeh zaroori nahin hai.

Tia as you said,Dev has an incredible daughter ready for him to claim.And upar se khayali pulao pakane main he is an expert.

It was like a hangover.Aur insaan hangover ke baad hosh main aata hai.Jo hangover ke baad hota hai woh uska asli nature hota hai.

Tomorrow when the initial happiness subsides let's see which course of action he takes.
Sonakshi will refuse to return to him for sure.She will break his fantasy.Dev Babu ki khayali pulao ki jagah Sona will serve him reality ki dum biryani.And after that the questions about why she hid Soha might resurface.It can have two outcomes.Either the vindictive Dev 2.0 will be back with a bang and declare the custody battle.Most probably Ishwari will also support him.Maa-Beta will form an alliance.

Or another course of action will be that after talking to Suhana he will realise where he went wrong and he will try to rectify his mistakes and turn over a new leaf.

It will either be one of these two.Knowing Dev Babu my bet is on the former one.

Oh PP... You are so funny. Yes, sorry. Got stuck in a meeting. I know, right? There were so many contender that Ishwari needs to find out which one to harass for her granddaughter. Now she knows. And of course, she will start plotting immediately. Her bachha asked for a toy after such a long time. Sniff

Today Bose family proved how real they are.. They react only when they know that the other person's intentions are wrong.. If Elena had walked away the moment she gotta know that Dev-Ish sending her there on an agenda that would have been a strength in her character.. Or at least completely ignored the enquiry session after her return that would have been another form of her.. But she showed her intentions were wrong and still standing by it for her own benefits, making Baaba angry.. He understands The Dixits' the best...👏

Yep. Dev 1.0 was back. He has finally got a connection to Sonakshi. While Soha was the icing, for Dev, Sonakshi was the cake. He had been trying to get the cake for so long, now the baker (the maker, as in God) has put a lovely icing with his name on top. I am telling you, he will now want the cake more than ever. But the problem is two - 1. His family and 2. Why should Sonakshi believe anything he says now. He has dug such a big hole there for him already?

Bhaiya makes better bhaiya than any other relationship. Aur main unke Maiya banne mein interested nehin hoon. Lol... Aaj Bijoy ko bash karke kya faida? Bahut jaldi Bhaiya Bijoy Bose banne wale hain. Bijoy Bose is the daddy version of Bhaiya.

Exactly.The Boses are not two faced like the Dixits.
And I feel that yesterday when Baba saw Elena at first he was genuinely happy.But when he doubted that she is a spy for the Dixits,he had a right to be angry.It is as good as betraying your own family.

Baba is an impartial man.He will never stand for anything wrong.👏
