KRPKAB never ceases to amaze me. The way CVs are doing the story telling is unique and one of a kind.
Hats off the all the cast and crew 👏 👏
I read a spoiler that Ishwari's realization or redemption will not be sudden or dramatic. It also said there won't be too many emotional dialogues to point out these realizations. I think this has already started for Ishwari. If in season 1, she was shown to be heavily influenced by maami and Vickky, this season she is being shown to be more disposed to listen to maamaji and Golu. I strongly feel that it will not be Suhana who will be the reason for Ishwari's change but will be Golu. And Suhana is the one who is going to help Bijoy understand Dev.
First time Ishwari sees Asha in the temple, she reveals that to both maamaji and maami. At that time she decides to follow maami's advice. Then came the time when maami tells Ishwari that Sonakshi is planning to come home because Suhana will pull her. But later during that summer camp last day when she is waiting, mama tells her that she shouldn't try to change destiny as she is not Ishwar. Ishwari is shown to accept it reluctantly. The first time maami suggests putting a case on the Boses for Suhana, Ishwari tells no, saying she doesn't want it to affect "Suhaana".
On Monday's episode Ishwari is shown to be packing lunch for Dev and maamaji stops her saying Dev has gone there just today so Ishwari should not visit abruptly as he is now a father and can very well take care of his daughter. Ishwari says what trouble would anyone have with her going there. She would just give the food and come back. Mama asks her to have patience and support Dev. The very next day Ishwari does take lunch to Bose house. But the result is as maama said. Hence when she comes back even though maami and Vickky try to instigate her and suggest legal recourse again, she doesn't really blame the Boses, but says no again, but gives the reason as "not wanting to cause any more issues to Dev".
Ishwari says she hasn't spoken to Dev and Golu tells her not to disturb him as it was his first day with his daughter and they need to give space. In that dining table scene, Ishwari is shown as sitting at the head of the table, while maami and maama are shown to sit on either side of her. Just like how they show ones conscience, the devil and angel sitting on the shoulder. While maami continues with her provocations to make Ishwari call Dev, maama stops her. This time it was shown that Ishwari listened to maama and today even agreed to go to Vaishno Devi without much opposition. She has started to pay heed to maamaji's words more than maami.
Conversely Bijoy yesterday remarked that what can Dev teach about parenting and that too to Sonakshi. From what is shown it seems Sonakshi's parenting style is heavily influenced by Bijoy and not much by Asha. Sonakshi liked fairy tales where prince would marry the princess and live happily ever after. Here Sonakshi looked for validation from the prince regarding herself, may not be consciously, but sub consciously. Also she went with the kind of parenting style where she wanted Soha to follow what she said because it was the solution in a principled way. Kind of like bookish way where it tells kids fall sick, do what doctors say, a child should have schedule and each activity begins and ends at specified times.
I am not saying this is an incorrect method of parenting, but here I feel that childishness is lost quickly. The life becomes monotonous and there is very little excitement as your time is kind of laid out. If someone asks what you are doing at 2 pm from a week from now, in a couple of minutes the answer is available that "I will be attending so and so class at that time". There is no element of surprise. I feel this is what Dev is bringing to Soha's life, that she was missing but is not understood by Sonakshi or Bijoy. From their perspective it is better to have schedules and stick to them like clockwork. They don't see that there is anything lacking in that. In fact they consider it "perfect". What Dev is doing is bringing that element of unknown, an adventure, taking risks to live and pursue happiness.
When Soha was sick Sonakshi preferred injection which is painful, but is something that would have definitely helped Soha get better. Dev also choose a medicine which was equally painful(bitter to taste, hence painful for throat 😊 ), to help her for the same issue. While Sonakshi told Soha that she needs to take that injection because it was necessary, Dev did the same in a way where he did not have to force Soha to take it. Infact it was Soha who eagerly asked for it. 😆 .
Similarly when Sonakshi told her it was time to sleep Soha showed reluctance, but Dev got her to do just that by making it exciting. Even the story he picked did not talk about a prince. It just talked about the princess who fought the dragon by herself. Sonakshi had once told Dev, you just feed me, I will fight the dragon myself, in reality she expected Dev to slay the dragon. But with the story Dev told Soha, he is empowering her to actually be confident about herself and not look to someone else for positive validation.
Through Suhana, Bijoy will realize the lacking in his parenting skills, while It will give the much needed dose of reality to Sonakshi from her "perfect" world.
I am really glad to be part of this journey. 😃
