SP 12, I was not sure if I should respond to your post or not, but finally decided to do it. 😊 .
As you and Asha, said Sonakshi might not have wanted to be perfect, but it is Bijoy who demands it. But by agreeing to maintain that perfection facade, Sonakshi is still being blinded by Bijoy and his dreams for her as opposed to her acting as per her wishes. After the series was closed, I spent time rewatching old episodes. In that one thing that stood out was Sonakshi was not averse to house work or learn cooking or be a housewife. But it was Bijoy who constantly rebuked her for trying to learn cooking or do anything other than pursue her career. He is the one who demanded that she achieve this professional excellence. He told her it was beneath her to be a housewife.
He is one of the reasons why Sonakshi feels inferior to Dev and wants to do things so that she is on the same footing as Dev in professional sphere. This is her way to define equality. But by Dev being a homemaker, he is showing that there is nothing wrong in learning to cook or take care of kids. What I mean is one doesn't have to work in a professional field and gain that name and fame to feel like they have accomplished and achieved something in life. A homemaker is not someone who is nobody, they are as much accomplished as any of the ones who have made a name in professional sphere. It is makers way of saying don't treat homemakers as someone who are good for nothing. They also bring a lot of things to the table and have a lot to offer.
Ishwari was a homemaker who was forced to go out and look for work. She was forced to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Asha, dida, Neha and even Ronita are also homemakers. But it doesn't mean that they are any less accomplished than Sonakshi. Conversely even though Elena is supposed to be a photographer, Vickky constantly taunts her of not being accomplished, as not having achieved anything. He was even shown to call her good for nothing in some of the episodes.
I have nothing against working woman or it is not to negate their importance or any such thing. What I am talking about is about what one wants to do. Whether being a homemaker or a professional should be a woman's own choice. A woman shouldn't have to work because she is forced to work. She should be given the choice of being a stay at home mom. A stay at home mom should not be considered any less than a working mom. And it is not just a working mom who deserves all the accolades. I feel this is makers way of saying that give the same respect to homemakers as you would to a professional. I remember this woman who applied to a job after around 10 years break had put in her resume that she was a nurse, an artist, a storyteller, a negotiator , a teacher, etc. She had listed like having learnt 15 -20 skills in that 10 yrs break. When the interviewer questioned how she acquired those skills, she said being a mother taught her those skills. When her kids fell sick, she was the nurse, she was a teacher when she taught them everything be it from ABCs to learning how to sit or walk. She was a negotiator between her kids when they fought etc. The interviewer was very impressed and hired her. And for me she is one accomplished person.
And as I said in the analysis thread, the themes of the 3 blocked episodes are intertwined in these tracks. Even what they showed in the segment is part of the theme in one of the blocked episode. In the episode with muh dikhayi, there is one scene where RR says that Sonakshi might have been "dreaming" about diamond necklaces or marrying to affluent familiy. Sonakshi replies that she never "dreamed" of diamonds, but had always "dreamed" of fulfilling her father's "dream". This track is for her to differentiate her dreams from her father's dream. And the series might begin with saccharine sweetness to begin with, but i am sure it will not be that all the way through. The blocking of those 5 episodes was deliberate from the makers perspective. And that is what the makers are focusing on. Unblocking those episodes. And those three episodes are what is related to the unfinished tracks that you are mentioning.
With Dev doing what he is doing, he is trying to relive the last 7 years. All others like Sonakshi,, Ishwari or Bijoy would love to move on and forget the last 7 years as they don't want to take responsibility of what happened 7 years ago. They just want to forget it so that they don't have to introspect or make amends. But by Dev trying to relive those 7 years, all others are now forced to look back as to what happened in those 7 years and retrospect their actions. By Sonakshi seeing Dev trying to get back the lost time with the kids, will have to question herself if she did right by not telling him about Soha. With him enjoying with Shubh, she will be forced to introspect if it was right of her to give maami the importance she gave. Bijoy on his side because of Sonakshi's introspection will be forced to question himself as to how accurate was his judgement of Dev or the Dixits. The makers are cleverly keeping the focus on the 7 years and the events that led to breakup.
I trust the makers. 😃
