Dev and Vidhi are both easily misled

That is the central problem plaguing this plot right now.


Misunderstandings are nothing new in the drama that drives ITV shows....but usually each set of MUs are meant to grow the characters or their relationship in some way. Here, it feels like Dev-Vidhi are totally static and just go through a rinse/repeat cycle of MU-ing and then easily forgetting the issue and going back to square one.


The main disconnect is that Dev knowingly hired Vidhi knowing how naive and sheltered she is as a person....yet he hardly ever considers that a factor when people try to present a twisted picture of Vidhi to him....he easily entertains Kanika-Yogesh ki bakwaas each time with barely a token pushback. I'm not saying he needs to become some grand defender of Vidhi but shouldn't he have the ability to think for himself as a person rather than so easily getting drawn into whatever a Kanika or a Yogesh say about her in the office? And what does it say about him that he has such CATTY people as his best friends? 😆


And then there's Vidhi who has made up a whole fantasy in her head about Dev, his wife, his kid....lol and she so easily trusts anything Kanika says to her even after Kanika has misbehaved with her so many times.....lol where does her honesty go when she is assessing someone? Honesty doesn't factor past situations in?


Chalo I wouldn't even mind how contrived the MUs are if they were all leading towards some growth....but are they? I really can't say given the pattern from the last few promos.....they make it appear like Dev realizes he MU'ed Vidhi, he apologizes and then nothing really changes....it's on to the next MU and him distrusting her or berating her again. This makes it very difficult to invest in the story or the scenes cuz one can't help but think about the next flip from Dev around the corner that undoes any semblance of "trust" he claims to feel in Vidhi.


The writers have made it difficult to feel any kind of trust or reliance towards his character now. Unless they build some consistency in Dev-Vidhi's relationship, it's hard to connect.

We have talked about this earlier too but so much word to this..bhai Khali honesty ka kya karoge jab 2 paise ka bharosa nahi hai. Again her rishte ki neev vishwas hai..what irritates me is exactly this that YOU HIRED HER. You talked her I to it when she wasn't exactly looking for a job. You promised her parents and gave them your word so doesn't your own word count for anything..ek taraf you keep repeating she is the one you feels like telling things caz you have trust her byt then doesn't do ek paise ka bhi harosa bhai worst se worst ML's and yes boss trope has shown itna toh bharosa in FL in these situations like how easy it was for hin to beleive ke she is spreading the rumors about them when the so called friends lied to him that he felt the need go confirm with her ghuma ke..these things are off-putting caz jab tumne zimmedari li hai toh itna toh bol hi Saito ho strongly and stand for gidhi..plz pick a side either you just say it caz hero and all or you actually believe what you say and again as we have discussed earlier too his character is shown to be perceptive and he feels like isko logkn ki pehchaan hai but ghanta pehchaan hai when he is surrounded by cheapness like that yogesh kanika and rishabh and generally a lot of other staff of the office.. sab milke har tarah se use kar tahe hain chuna laga rahe hain but he keeps mingling and being oh i have 100% faith whe any idiot can tell the kind of people they are..itna bhi fair judgement nahi hai iska about his beasties.. had it been kept only professional relationship toh bhi one can say ok nahi pata chala but they are practically shown as his besties the k know it all. But none if them can actually figure out that they are cheating him this openly in everything way woh maa bhi waise toh bada bolti hai about her life experiences and all but pehchaan mahi paati .matlab hadh hai ke yeh log Priya ki badtameeziyan bhi aise sehte hain jaise uske ghulam hain she continues doing it and again wahin saabit ho gaya kitna pata hai inhe kisi ki pdosnality ka..abhi bhi the whole family seems to have taken a liking for vidhi but baat wohi hai ke jab bharosa ka aayega toh kuch nahi. Defender ya bhashan I'd not needed but kamse kam itna toh dikhao ke questions that why peopme keep saying that or his conflict woth whether others are right ot wrong just ek simple nah I trust her firmly is enough too and not like ek baat main shak kar lia the more he is spending time with her the more easier it is for him to act as a stranger and be like you this you that whatever is spoonfed to him he blurts it without investigating on his own when exactly he is the one who knows her personality issues and not like it was a one time thing she keeps candidly telling him those about her fear about how her brain switches off anxiety takes over but nah usko bhashan deke on remaining calm and focus bhi bharosa nahi karna


And then there's Vidhi who has made up a whole fantasy in her head about Dev, his wife, his kid....lol and she so easily trusts anything Kanika says to her even after Kanika has misbehaved with her so many times.....lol where does her honesty go when she is assessing someone?

+1 on vidhi too her knitting the fantasy to a certain point was acceptable like when she went ro his house for a min but after that when she heard from him first hand that he doesn't want any kind of discussion about hsi personal life toh bhi she keeps shipping hin with amba ..urhmm and bilkul catch hi nahi kar paa rahi ke iska bakra bana rahe hain for a bit she could be misunderstanding but that can't be dragged for so long when other people have given her shock reactions at her statements. Again bhai office kaam kanrne jaati hai ke matchmaking karne and agar uska hi shauk hai toh matrimonial khol le ya maa milapni devi ke naam se start kamaooing paisa but all this kaam ko chodke sir ke biwi bache main itna intrest that despite being told so many times she doesn't get it not to interfere and chalo woh bhi chodo for a sec the fa t that after kanika ki repeated tried to humiliate her and I sult her she just doesn't get it and keeps treating her as her pal sharing everything with kanika exactly makes it super urhmmm..and yes the base problem stays ke kahan hai bhai kucb bhi progress.yeh papa ka job mahi haiw Ala issue has been dragged way too kcub too ainvayi


Also editors plz reduce the airtime the 24 mins feel way too long with the kind of aimlessness

Oh and one more thing is it is rather hard to beleive that aajkal ke Zamane main if there is any confusion in regards to dev's status vidhi cannot check the internet with the help of seema.i mean i know she is bholi and doesn't know of it all but in the very show theey keep showing they collegue of vimla who has a crush on dev and she has said thay a few times about not reading it anywhere but vidhi ko mahi hatayenge ya will even slightly mention ke biwi kaisi bhai jab it is nowhere on the public platforms

LOL yes, I think we discussed this earlier also ki aajkal ke zamaane mein of veryyyy easily available net even on the phone, it's very hard to believe Vidhi can't clear up even such basic info. I also found it very hard to buy that she didn't know how to use a computer....she is not living in some village (heck, even village schools manage to have computers/tablets these days) that she won't have a basic idea.


Aajkal ke shows really struggle to show a genuinely naive/sheltered person since the default presumption is ki internet ke zamaane mein sabko sab kuch pata hai😆....but there are ways of still showing personalities with nuances....just requires some effort into writing with conviction and consistency.

What I don't get is why Vidhi did not discuss any of this with that housekeeping lady?! Vidhi is discussing with everyone in the office except the one person who would honestly clear everything. Vidhi clearly does share stuff with that lady; she was the one who ensured that Vidhi's pickle was given to Dev's mother through the driver. The writers have established some comfort zone there. But when it comes to this jagrata and inviting Dev and his 'wife', Vidhi does not mention anything to her.


This MU feels weakly set up. And I hope they show some progress after this MU instead go through with one MU after another. Both Dev and Vidhi need to have some learning and growth from this situation otherwise, there is no point to any of this.

@bold: Exactly. It's a very weakly set up MU so it's hard to connect with, especially since there isn't much expectation of character growth given the pattern from the last few weeks.....lol


Vidhi's bonding with the housekeeper lady (I think her name is Indira) has been conveniently downplayed to set up this latest MU so that Vidhi can keep pakaaoing her khayaali pulaav and only interact with Kanika to keep the MU going.

And as per the pattern once again in last scene today dev said I trust you amd the very next moment in precap when amba showed him the invitation card given by vodhi so casually he goes and fires her and actually repeats you are not worth trusting like wait when have you ever done that "TRUST" in first place?

I think Vidhi discussing the matters with Kanika is that way Kanika gives her attention she wants to win over her other wise the husband and wife always gives her the negative vibes ,I am not favouring Vidhi at all she is clearly a dumb and stupid and low in confidence person .

Someone doing a dumb thing doesn't give anyone else the right to misbehave with them to the extent Dev is misbehaving with Vidhi....he literally treated her like TRASH while firing her. Yeh hai so called "mature, dignified" older man? ROFL WHAT A JOKE.


They either don't have any idea what they want to do with Dev's characterization or they are just writing him very poorly. He's coming across like a psycho with serious anger management issues rather than a guy who is supposedly older/mature. LOL this show has been very improperly marketed....it's not any age-gap story....it's just the usual story of OTT angry ML who will keep ping-ponging between maaroing lovey dovey dialogues to the FL and then treating her like trash.


And his lame excuses about "Rules are above everything" sound very laughable and half-baked given how he was busy being so charmed by Vidhi just days back and how he's behaving like she is some keeda under his shoe....the execution is so poor right now and the biggest joke is Dev himself.

LOL this entire "trust" and "rules obsession" wala angle has been SO randomly inserted, man.....agar itna hi "trust" tha toh usko consistently develop karte rather than basing everything off some random rumors ke upar itne angry outbursts.


All he did was mentor her a bit for an exam and tell her one secret of his life and uske basis pe they are trying to act like he implicitly trusted her for EVERYTHING in his life and she supposedly broke that? 😆


Bloody loser can't manage apni khud ki life ka drama.....his bitchy sister and his bitchy ex who easily make him dance to their tunes and aake frustration Vidhi pe nikaal raha hai🤪
