I So so liked today's episode and wasnt disappointed with it at allIt might look like a stupid illogical episode but it was very meaningful and wonderfully complied one from story's point of view and quite justified few of my thoghts assumptions for a change and I was so happy did little dance too..How for the first time My guess was right lolWhat is the most commendable part for me is that how the core of these characters are still intact and how theor basic nature is still very much their..they dont deviate from it at all and that just makes me super proud..makers have kept it intact and thats wonderfulDev straight forward approach to Mrs mandal was superb ..He might be bad at handeling relationships or his approach might not be the best but he is the most sensitive person when it comes to protecting or being concerned for his near dear ones like he used to stand..This time too he stood for Saurabh and Ronita though he could have simply stayed out of this matter but this family is related to Soha and he is connected to them and he was quite crystal clear with his words ..He made sure to convey and warn Mrs mandal how not to badmouth aboit Sonakshi and do anything to harm this family also he stopped her to not question about his and Sonakshi's relationship as that's not her concern..and even his explanation regarding love was very simple but deep ..Infact his interaction with Mrs mandal was quite meaningful and important..It actually showed he knows how insecurity destroys relationship and also he is very much aware what part Ishwari played in ruining his relationship with Sonakshi he infact nentioned it to Asha in his convo later..When he said she is bit insecure yes he knows and this insecurity can be taken care of..Its like he has learned all this in past 7 years..But obviously it was too late to mend things for his ownself ..It was as if the conversation he couldn't have with Ishwari ever he had it with Mrs mandal today..I felt soNow Coming to Dev hiding amd Sonakshi revealing ..They both were so true to their own characterstics..Dev has always gone to maximum limits to save his near and dear ones from hurt like he did during fake pregnancy thing infertility thing and Sonakshi is same as well because she faced worst consequences of this "hiding" act..and thays why now she wants matters to be out in open..Who is right and who is wrong ..well for me both are right and both are wrong..No I am not saying hiding is right thing but Dev did what best he could to keep matters in hands..and finish it off before things gets worst and gave earful to mrs mandal making sure she will not repeat such thing again ..warning her strictly And Sonakshi was right because this matter is related to 2 familes and can affect Saurabh Ronita in future as she has faced massive consequences because of it and she doesnt want anything bad to happen So she wants everything to be sorted before moving ahead..Now here both are acting very impulsively ..one thinks hide it and solve it and other thinks speak it out and solve it , this is where exactly Asha enters in to this equation..which I wish she had 7 years back like the way she did today ..at that time their was no one to guide them to control them which lead to disaster.I just so freaking loved Asha today again..She firmly reminded Sonakshi and silently Dev too of her position and declared now she will think about this matter and take the right decision she neither agreed to Dev ( yes she thanked him because he didnt let matter become messy because she knows Bijoy,He would have reacted rashly) and nor agreed to Sonakshi coz Saurabh is her son she will do best for him and wont ruin his life for anythingshe knows what happened 7 years back also she knows this matter is delicate and important too..She is a very mature sensible lady ,will not do anything which might create problems or further complicates situationNow Dev becoming mahan..Naah he wasn't mahaan at all ..He was what he has been..He didn't do any favour on boses by taking blame he reacted just the way he was expected to..He feels how Saurabh and Ronita have come together,dont want them to face any hurdles as they have just entered in to a new phase of life ..did what he felt right according to him..he said Bijoy and Sonakshi hates him, He didn't look upset or too disturbed by the fact that Sonakshi did not believe him coz he wasn't probably expecting that..He was concerned about Soha and got her trust which made him strong and peaceful..What goes wrong here is that his thoughts and intentions are noble but his solution is very fragile and incomplete..and now Asha is their she will use it to sort this matter..Once again this doesn't mean hiding is right or she will hide but this whole controlling the situation by him will surely help her in fixing this mess it has given her time to think and act rationally..Sonakshi's reaction was apt and what she said was right too how families also gets connected when 2 people get married her own life has taught her and she wants yo be extra cautious with her approach..she wants things to be transparent but her impulsiveness or aggressiveness Rashly going and bombarding someone is also not the right way to solve problems..she isnt worried about the consequences of it because her fears are so deep that she isnt concerned what affect it might have on Saurabh..I understand her emotions her fear completely but she has to think of the outcomes as well..both pros and cons of it and thats why even her approach is incomplete..Now Asha will provide the much needed missing part to it she will think of every positives and negatives and will take actionsAsha has 2 approaches Dev's emotional one and Sonakshi's practical one so now she can figure out best solution with themAlso Dev being soft and emotional with Ishwari..Sonakshi didn't clearly mention any family but obviously he knew where she was pointing at and was hurt with it its like dont we get hurt if indirectly taunted about our families.. yes his family is flawed and Ishwari was one of the reasons in what happened 7 years back but constantly taunting him about his house or family isn't required..It Was a very human reaction..He can take taunts on him but as soon as his mothr is involved it does upsets him..See parents are parents..He can blame her be angry with her because this relation is unbreakable..but when some other persons speaks rudely its hurting..very basic and very normal human reaction..If he is cordial to Ishwari now because he has no one to rely on..at the end of the day he can still share his emotions with her but by maintaining a certain boundary he isnt surrendering to her just taking her support thats itBijoy didn't surprise me at all he is bitter towards Dev and him jumping to conclusion wasn't too shocking for me..He just found a way to vent out his frustration and anger..He will realise when time come..Though Sonakshi and Saurabh being so impulsive was a little surprising thing for me..Though deep down Sonakshi did question why Dev would do so but her immediate reaction was questionable..her interaction with Jatin was much needed..It cleared some confusion..She was perplexed surprised and wasn't convinced of Dev's action..good..I am happyAlso Sonakshi not believing Dev in the first confrontation reminded me of old incidents when Dev too didn't believe her regarding mami..deja vu wali feelingOh let me conclude ..Beautiful recreations of past incidents and characters staying true to their behaviour yet showing remarkable changes is applause worthy..Episodes are getting better and better..Instead of punishing someone..show them right path and help them mend their ways..Thats wise thing to doAlso Dev stayed true to his words to Soha when she asked will he go if Bijoy ever asks him to and He said no never and today he stood by it he is not leaving this house so kudos for thatSorry for such a long rant I hope you dont fall asleep by the end of it ..I went quite overboard,Shit :(My POV No offense
