Week 14 - New colours

Week 14 was the pre-realisation orange week!
As per the recent promo, Dev is all set to realise his love for Sonakshi on 9th of June 😊 the episodes of this week leads him there.

The week started off with Dev curious to know that third person between Sona and him. Although Dev doesnt realise these emotions yet, he was definitely hurt when he heard all about her boy friend..but he was careful not to express his unhappiness. Instead, he honed his other emotions very sharp. Like..being sarcastic, resentful, etc..🙄
However, when Sona said, Dev was just a friend..not her best friend....then he was really hurt 😐 It was cute to see Sonakshi trying to unhurt him 😊

Sona on the other hand, was extremely uncomfortable with her lie and tried her best to get out of it. Her fake boyfriend story sold out, but not her fake sick story. Dev was stubborn about the double date. And, Eleena got her friend's brother all set for the double date!

On the D-day, the foursome had one heck of a roller coaster ride! For Dev - it was all about knowing Sonakshi more and finding out what makes her choose this Neel guy! For Sona - on one side, it was heart aching possessiveness to see Natasha and Dev together. On the other side it was trying to make her lie look real and keeping cool with every single surprise that Neel threw in. Neel and Natasha had no idea (atleast as of yet) what their part really was 😂 Natasha kept holding Dev's hand. Dev was completely unaware of it, and Natasha probably did not do it on purpose, but Sona's jealousy meter rose to the brim everytime it happened 😅

Post the date - Dev became the interrogating officer and quizzed Sona for the "Neel facts".  It was hilarious to watch Dev come up with back to back questions and Sona gather all her presence of mind to answer him confidently - but all her answers were wrong 😔. Dev's conversation with Natasha during lunch was especially wonderful. There was so much of pride in Dev when he told Natasha that he knew a lot about Sona and that they both are really good friends 😊. 

It was fun to watch Dev this week who was not aware of his emotional changes. His character shone when he spoke to his mom about Sona's boyfriend and with Natasha about his friendship with Sona. Sona, on the other hand was completely aware of her emotional changes. But she was forcefully hiding those and she excelled too, as the "madly in love with Dev" girl, who had to act as if she loves someone else.

The last day of the week, although hilarious from the outside, was pretty sad for me to watch..I could only see 2 souls so much in love with each other but did not know how to express. Dev was really going through a lot of emotions this week. He was pretty hurt at the beginning of the week to know about Sona's boy friend..and finally got it clarified. When it was clear to him that Neel was fake, he was so happy that he played like a child with his sisters, completely unaware of what was even happening to him! The scene where Sona confesses her lie was a very sweet scene..Dev admired the non stop rambling of Sona as she explained the reasons behind her lie..and finally as it got serious, he was confused with himself as to why he ever started all this 😊 Really well played.

The other parts worth mentioning this week are

1. Dev's role as a brother who went to Ranvir's house to gauge the situation, later offering a job for Ranvir at his company, standing up for Neha when maami tried to bad mouth about Ranvir's alliance and finally convincing Neha that he will take care of everything.

2. The Bose family and the cricket sentiments - superb conception! And special mention to Bijoy and Asha. I was reminded of my own sentiments 😊

3. Ishwari's possessive side was introduced more to the audience as she kept asking Sona how does Dev-Natasha look as a couple. Her eyes clearly expressed the fear of losing her son's love for her...

4. Neha's character is probably not the ideal girl that any of the older generation will like. But inspite of her self centred actions, one cannot, but sympathise with her as she is trying to fight for her own happiness every time. That is her colour in this show.
