Sonakshi used to wear a mangalsutra as a newly wedded bride in season 1. During their confrontation, just before their 7 year long separation, Sona tore off the mangalsutra from her neck & threw it in the fire signifying that that their relationship was over. After they reconciled, she never wore a mangalsutra except for a couple of scenes when a very possessive Dev ( this was when some goons almost attacked her late in the night when she was returning from work & her car broke down & she had to travel in a public transport). He was so petrified & paranoid of losing her that he went into a very possessive & over protective phase & gifted her a mangalsutra & put it on her neck. And he was upset when Sona wore it under her top & told her gifts are meant to be proudly shown off & not hidden. After that I don't really recollect her wearing a mangalsutra.😆
Ishwari at that point of time, was just glad to have Sona back as Dev's wife as in the process she had also got her son back after 7 years (who had almost ignored her existence during Devakshi's separation except for doing his duty by checking on her well being once in a while)..
After their reconciliation, Ishwari had a good character growth. She showered her love on Sonakshi & took her side even against Dev many times.. She also made Dev understand how his over possessiveness was stifling & suffocating Sona. She even started working in an office & learnt to speak English & also learnt how to use a mobile & send messages in English etc. Also when she came to know that her daughter, Nikki was in a live in relationship, she was quite understanding as she realized the impact of Devakshi's separation on each of their life. She was on good terms with Sonakshi's family too after their reconciliation. In fact she & Asha had joined hands to bring Devakshi together. She also allowed Sonakshi to eat non veg in the house during her pregnancy. So we actually got to see a progressive Ishwari then.😆
