But I wouldn’t blame Dev for not telling the truth to Soha. The complete responsibility of that on Sona who keeps getting Dev and Ishwari and everyone to not say anything to Soha. Dev and Ishwari would have told the truth to Soha by now. It is all on Sona.
Sonakshi is vocal about telling Dev & Ishwari because she is worried about Soha being affected by the revelation that her parents, her brother, her dadi, nana nani, basically everyone whom she knew as her family, were not really her family, that she was an outsider. It would be a devastating truth for anyone to accept & Soha is just a child. It could emotionally scar & cripple her for life. Neither Dev & Ishwari would have told Soha the truth even if Sonakshi had not asked them to do so. Dev certainly wouldn't. Without even understanding how the truth could impact a child who is grieving the loss of a dear person whom he knew as his father just the previous day, Dev told Ayush the truth only because both he & his mother were impatient to have their son/ grandson taking his rightful place in the Dixit family & Dixit house. For Dev, Soha is still his princess, his daughter & he would never want her to feel insecure of her place in her parents' (Devakshi's) heart. To all intents & purposes, Soha is their daughter & will always remain so. Ishwari too would not intentionally want to reveal the truth to Soha unless & until Ayush is denied his rights as Dev's son & heir just because of Soha. In that scenario, she might end up blurting out the truth as for her blood relations are over & above other bonds.
Dev erred in revealing abruptly the truth to Ayush & that too at a time, when he ( Ayush) was at his lowest point in his life. He had just lost the only parent he had. He might not be Rohit's biological son but they both loved each other dearly & he would have been in shock & and Dev added fuel to it by turning his world upset down by revealing that his entire life has been a lie. He is not who he thought he was. His parents were not his real parents. This would have traumatized him & hence he finds it difficult to accept Devakshi as his parents &,Ishwari his dadi.. For him, he already had/ has a father, mother & grandparents. From Dev's point of view, he gained a son , not lost a daughter. As per his thinking & rightly so, he now has not 2, but 3 children. So he will never divulge the truth to Soha unless Ishwari forces him to do so. This time it remains to be seen if he will bow down to his mother's pressure & send Soha away from Dixit family so as to ensure Ayush's rightful place as his heir or whether his love for his daughter takes precedence over his mother's wishes. Hopefully, this time he is man enough to stand up for the right & accept his responsibilities towards his non biological beloved daughter rather than just bowing down to Ishwari's prejudiced thinking of blood relations being greater than all other bonds.
