When Dev does something really appreciable, then these "viewers" will appreciate him for it. Most of the members here are far more interested in the storyline and the characters rather than the actors. So it is not that they are blindly supporting one actor over the other. Also, most of the the viewers ( me included) loved Dev in S1 though he was a flawed character ( grey character as mentioned by Shaheer in one of his ivs at the start of S1). This season, Dev has been insensitive, uncaring & rude to Sonakshi, whom he professes to love so much, hence it is quite natural for the audience to feel sorry for Sonakshi who clearly loves Dev so much that she has been putting up with taunts, insults & rudeness from both Dev & Ishwari at the cost of her self respect. Her opinions & her rights as a mother have been ignored and Dev has never taken a stand for her whenever Ishwari has been taunting her on the issue of her motherhood or healthy eating habits or for whatever faults ( imaginary or not) she finds in Sona. Dev keeps on saying he loves her immensely but his actions speak otherwise. It is only in the past week or so, Dev has just started introspecting on his actions, and has started taking baby steps in taking corrective measures towards working on his marriage. With time, when he shows his love & concern for her with his actions (btw actions doesn't mean just romancing with her) and becomes a caring & supportive life partner to her, these "viewers" too will make appreciation posts for him.
Bold: Each member here/ viewers of the show (including you & me) constitute the general viewers and have their own opinions & perceptions about the characters shown in the show & express it in the forum. One may not agree to the opinions expressed but I think we are all mature enough to agree to disagree.
