The scene where Devi was worrying for Shaurya and felt that something was wrong with him gave me a different theory about Devi. I have always felt it but it just got strenghtened in that scene. She did not come across as a normal mother worrying for her child. Her behaviour, her concern struck as completely abnormal. I think she may have had a number of miscarriages and that led to ptsd. This added to the social stigma of being a barren woman took her to the verge of insanity. When Shaurya was born, he was the only child in that family for a long time. Devi saw his closeness to Aastha and started suffering from jealousy. She had her eyes on Shaurya long before Aastha left. She wanted that child to herself. She may have had outbursts to which only Tej was the witness. She was slipping into depression when Aastha's decision gave Tej a chance to restore her. Shaurya was handed over to her as a lolipop to keep her calm. But she like a child was not ready to share him with anyone. Perhaps when Shaan tried to take Shaurya from Devi, Tej intervened and said that Shaurya gave her a new life. Since Shaan cannot hurt anyone he let Shaurya be with Devi (Trust me, I have seen people like him). Since Devi wanted Shaurya only to herself, her and Tej tried every possible tactics to keep Aastha from meeting Shaurya. Now Devi will not let Shaurya prioritise anyone over her. He is like her property. She knew Shaurya never loved Shagun and even if he married Shagun, he would still be hers. Sure she loves him. People love a pet too, but when it gets out of control, they shoot it.
My brain has gone on overdrive seeing too much of Devi and it is churning out crazy theories. Like Shaurya, I am also feeling suffocated seeing her elaborate display of love and concern.
