According to me, Dev needed a strong reality check yesterday and who better could have given a fitting reply to him than Asha. Since the woman lost her marbles (excuse my language) and this may never happen on this show - I might as well say it here. So here are mine (as in Asha's) dialogues to Dev :
"Get off your high horse dude! I came here to apologize for Bijoy's behavior. So be graceful and accept it instead being an absolute jerk and saying how innocently your mother left."
"I am not entitled to listen to you with regards to my marriage, especially when we lasted for 30+ years. My daughter is my shadow, imagine if I could 'tolerate' Bijoy, what my daughter went through in your house that she couldn't tolerate you as a husband"
"Your family can return a sarcastic comment if Boses appear at Dixit doorsteps 7 days later, since you, my dear Dev, have already confirmed that to Bijoy."
"What do you mean by saying that you could have be angry too, didn't you already express it while the way you joined hands in front of Bijoy? So stop fooling around and showing off your greatness in anger management. You are no saint"
Finally, I love this line from one of my favorite shows and I so wish Asha should have said this to Dev - "Careful, I am the only friend you have got.. in this house'.
Last but not the least -
Women have to stand up for themselves - sometimes by being vocal and some times being too vocal. Because communication is the key. And people like Dev and his mother, need everything spelt out - they lack the understanding of body language, gestures or silence.
Thanks for reading and feel free to add more if you think this wasn't enough. But no physical violence please, Dixits are only use to verbal abuse (they ace it you see 😉)
