This is not about right or wrong or bashing. It about life experiences and about knowing your audiences. I think the CVs are not really undertanding who is watching the show and why they get upset with this kind of storyline where the woman is made to compromise at every turn.
When I started watching the show, for me within 4-5 episodes Sona was the character who stood out. She was a woman in love yet she was not blind to the faults of the man she loved. She could stand up to him, protect him, fight with him, be his strenght-- everything at one shot. We also saw her try very hard to adjust in a family that was just not welcoming. The kind of nonsense GKB, Neha and Vicky dished out besides Ishwari was a bit too much. Sona stood her ground with most of them without being a shrew or throwing a tantrum. She even tolerated the insult to her father and went to make amends for it. The only time she cracked was when Dev told her to get out-- not once but twice.
She left becuase HE TOLD HER TO. And it was sad to see her apologise for that today. To accept the blame for leaving him, not believing in him. How can you stay with someone who asks you to leave? And Dev has done this to her twice, both times because of his mother.
It is evident on this forum at least that the women watching this show are strong independent women, who have probably faced some of Sona-like situations. May be not as extreme as Sona, but in their own way had to deal with MILs and boyfriends/lovers who may not have stood by them.
And they have come out of those situations in a better way than Sona did yesterday. Therefore it becomes hard to understand how she can do what she is doing right now.
Sure forgiveness is a virtue etc etc, but Dev has asked for forgiveness so many times and yet gone back to do the same nonsense again. The problem is that the Dev's character is showing no growth. He is not learning anything. And it is hard to stomach why should Sona forgive him again and again without seeing that he is actually understanding his faults and making changes to his nature.
This is just my point of view. I indentify with Sona and her dilemma's but not with the solutions or her actions that the CVs are dishing out for her. It upsets me to see her believing that she was at fault when according to me she clearly was not. Yes I also know this is a story and Dev and Sona have to get back together but can she do it with some dignity and some pride.
