Week 21 - Disagreements and Compromises!

Disagreements, trying to resolve them and compromises are all part of human relationships. The more we value the relationship, the more compromises we will be willing to make. This week was all about that!

When he saw Neha quietly retire to her room, Dev could not stop himself from following her to figure out her needs..She or his other sisters never really have to tell him what they need. He knows it. He can sense it all. And yes, he was absolutely correct in assuming that Neha misses the lifestyle she had in her home... 

Neha is affected by the childhood trauma of being the child who sacrificed the most in the Dixit home. Just like her, Dev is also equally affected by the childhood trauma of climbing on the shoulder of every single person of the Dixit home to reach the height he is in, today. For that reason, he feels greatly indebted to every person in his family. His thirst to make his sisters and mom happy may never be fully quenched! His desire to make Neha happy and his decision to gift a flat to her cannot be completely blamed as an offense, if you look at it from Dev's angle.

Following Sona's advice, I tried to put myself in Ranveer's position to see this.. Its not his ego that is stopping him from taking any of Dev's favors, but it is his desire to do everything on his own for Neha - the woman he loves with all his heart. Ranveer spoke about how he is very particular in the path and journey that he must take in order to achieve his destination.. I respect him for all this and I hope Dev will soon learn to stay away from Neha-Ranveer. 

However, I cannot agree with Ranveer at all about how Dev doesn't care what path he takes to reach his destination. Dev is also equally principled man...Dev is also a man with values. I hope Ranveer's frustration was just impulsive and does not turn to a prejudiced relationship with Dev.

The poor Neha.. is just living the life of a typical Indian new bride..trying to adjust to the twists and turns of the new family that she is married into. Although she misses the old lifestyle, up until now, she has not thought any less of Ranveer's love and continues to trust him and love him. She has not thought of asking her superhero brother for anything...And wants to genuinely give her marriage all that she has got. But already Dev's intrusion is causing mood swings for Ranveer and I am very scared for them. Dev will never intend for his sister's marriage to be strained because of him..but unknowingly, he has just caused a bit of it. 

Neha has been impressing me a lot these days, by taking that extra step and adjusting to the new lifestyle. Her heartfelt discussion with Ranveer asking him to give her a chance to adjust - was very endearing. Ranveer and Neha are both amazing people and have their own strengths. I wish that their marriage and love lasts a lifetime.

Ishwari's advice to Dev about him staying away from Ranveer-Neha's marriage was a very matured, lovely advice, to be followed by not just Dev but all possessive families of any bride or groom. The bride and groom always need their own space to blossom into a loving husband and a lovely wife. If only all families will realize this truth, many marriages will be happier these days. 

Week after week, we see the relationship between Dev and Sona mature and this week was an important milestone. Relationships are not always rosy..there will be disagreements; how you manage those, without giving up is what matters. What started as a beautiful coffee date... ended in a disagreement. Dev avoided the topic, knowing very well that it will surely end in a disagreement and Sonakshi wanted to face it, because she wanted to be his pillar of support in good and bad times. Again, a special mention  - Shaheer's body language, the hesitation he showed even in his dialogue delivery indicating that there is something bothering him, the simple forehead kiss, the quiet irritation he showed when he walked out of the place πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

The fans go gaga over a forehead kissing sequence..I cant blame them..because their chemistry onscreen is sizzling, no doubt! Why on earth will Dev get a doubt on whether he is hot? I guess he just needed to hear it from Sona. The fans will vouch for how hot he is πŸ˜πŸ˜ Like I always say, every bit of this relationship is a new experience for Dev and he loves whats happening to him! It was so sweet when he asked Sona to keep aside all her shyness and tell him exactly how she felt for him :) I really love the way how the two click the moment they come together on screen. Even the 1 minute togetherness in the last episode of the week was enough to make us keep smiling through the weekend!!

The chemistry between them is also awesome in the way they resolve their differences! Special mention to the makers for creating the situation between them in which they make every effort to put themselves in the other person's shoes, realize that they still disagree..,are honest to each other about this disagreement and end it by saying "Its ok.. I love you".  Not many couple are able to do this in today's world. This show is unique and lovely in many such ways and I am not surprised at the love it got for completing 100 episodes.

Of late, Ishwari is in complete disappointment with Dev's interest in Sonakshi. And time and again, she sees or hears things that makes it worse for her. Its not that she hates Sonakshi. But her possessiveness has taken over her completely now that she is hardly seeing. Her strong warning to Sona to stay away from her kids, especially Dev (after the halwa incident) shook Sona off. If that was not enough, her very harsh reply to Sona's advice about the leg pain completely established to Sonakshi that something was definitely wrong between her and Ishwari. The realness of the show was established again when, in a moment, the tender mother inside Ishwari realized her mistake and embraced Sonakshi's soul with kind words. Well done by the 2 actresses.. Sonakshi's expressions were very real in this scene when she decided to get out of the room after she realized Ishwari was upset with her. There is an excellent actress in Erica! Whether it is the emotional scenes like this or whether it is the romantic scenes with Dev, she carries herself really well and compliments the other actors in the scene with appropriate emotions..Really well done πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

The biggest disagreement and the biggest compromise of this week was that between Dev and God. "Man proposes and God disposes". For the person who does not believe in God, its "Man proposes and he disposes too". Dev does not believe in God, because, the miracles he ever experienced were all done by his mother. Ishwari brought up her 4 kids single handedly. Dev, being the eldest had witnessed every single problem she faced and how she solved it every single time. The only super hero Dev ever knew was his mother, because, she somehow made things work out, even when the God that she believed in, had failed her..But Ishwari continues to believe in God. God is her strength. I am a believer, so I can completely relate to Ishwari.

Just like every other time, everyone knew that Dev will not participate in the pooja. As cliche as it sounds, Sonakshi's love will surely influence Dev. Dev himself did not realize this. Dev's disbelief in God is something that grew up with him. Over years even Ishwari was not able to change this quality of Dev. So, Dev was convinced that he will never be able to fold his hands in front of God. Thats why when Sonakshi tried to convince him, he even got mad at her told her very clearly that he cannot change even for her sake. But he made sure she knows that his love for her will not diminish in any way because of this..And she made sure that he understands that even if they are not perfect, their feelings for each other is 100% perfect.

Its beautiful how their differences are very short lived - definitely something to learn from..Even the very first time they had a difference, Dev made it very clear that he cannot sleep through the night with that in mind. Every time afterwards, the two are consciously honest with each other and express how much they love each other inspite of the differences they have. And when they have to compromise, they just don't do it in a filmy way..They think through it and if they can make an amendment, they do. If they can't, they don't; but build their love around it.

And in this case of big disagreement with God and mom and Sonakshi, Dev made a big compromise in his mind, for his mother's sake and participated in the pooja to the surprise of everyone..But what actually made this compromise happen - Dev's Love - Love for the sincere efforts of Sona which made him realize that he can actually do anything for his mother's sake.

However, as we came to the finale of the week - What Dev and Sona thought will make Ishwari happy ended up in a bitter feeling. Ishwari found out the truth about why Dev agreed to the pooja..Not her.. but a girl that came just a few days ago in his life has made him change his beliefs about God! She now knows for sure that Sonakshi has come between her and Dev. The helpless mother's strange blessing to Dev was rightly sensed by him. The angry mother's hatred was rightly sensed by Sonakshi. From now on, is the actual story... All other disagreements were compromised amicably this week, but this disagreement of Ishwari cannot be compromised quickly..only time can tell us..

  4. There is a scene shown when there is a conversation between sona and her mother about Sona's groom. Sona's mother tell her that she can't live without her.However there is not enough bonding shown between sona and her parents(only one or two scenes) than in initial episodes.Perhaps its because the story focuses the relationship of Dev Sona and Ishwari but there should be scenes of sona and her parents,grandmother not just sona elena and soruv. Overall this week was amazing infact every week is amazing. The part sona vanished Dev's headache was excellent. There is always a certain sweetness and love in dev and sona's voices. ;) :)
