Week 22 - Reality just ahead

The story has now moved to the pivotal plot. And this week, it was all from Ishwari's point of view. This week can probably be termed as a prelude to the upcoming twists in the story.

Ishwari's insecurities are at its peak. Her possessive side has resulted in hatred towards Sonakshi. However, Sonakshi has no idea why Ishwari is behaving so differently towards her.

For Dev, its all about satisfying his mom's request to be with her. Little is he even aware of her changed reactions towards Sonakshi.

Supriya very easily brings out the childish possessiveness of a mother. She acts like a toddler who refuses to share her toy with anyone and goes on to brag that its hers! Her eagerly getting ready to go out with Dev and snapping at Sona's one question of where she is off to was enough for Sona to get the message that things are not the same between them!  Ishwrai's explanation to Dev about how in his childhood, he refused to leave her hand even when she had to go for a bath, and his fighting with mama ji that Ishwari will tie Rakhi only to him was all a cute childhood memory.

Throughout the first half of the week, whenever she gets a chance, Ishwari keeps telling Dev how much she has to share him and his time with everyone..how she enjoys when he spends time with her..and every now and then, she even manages to tell others in Dev's presence, that he will share everything with her, even if he has a girl friend. But Dev quietly maintains silence or diverts the topic..All those scenes were done with finesse by the actors and I thought the story moved really nicely, just in the right pace, this week..

Unaware of any of her discomfort, Dev does everything as usual for his mom. However, with Ishwari's repeated complaints about him not spending time with her, he feels guilty and tries harder to be with her more. He is completely clueless as to why she feels low and attributes it only to her poor health.

Sonakshi's role this week was pretty much that of a confused girl who had no idea why Ishwari was behaving like that with her. To add to her confusion, she was also longing for some alone time with Dev which was always somehow interrupted...

Just as Dev and Sonakshi, the audiences were also longing and were restless for their favorite couple to share the screen space! And the moment they come together there surely is a spark in everyone's eyes 😍😍 The audiences would like to ask them "restless pe aap ka copyright hai kya?? do you know how restless we were?" 😄 But, in spite of all the policing around by mom, we all managed to sneak and meet up and even witnessed a DevAkshi Tatoo..❤️😍  The "Be my sunshine" part was a very cute romantic scene, but unfortunately had to be seen by mama ji...

Dev and Sonakshi's relationship is not at all finicky about simple things like unable to spend time with each other or one giving more importance towards other things..They both are so matured to look beyond these things and yet so child like and innocent in relating to each other. This is what makes them a unique on screen couple ❤️ Sonakshi is genuinely happy that Dev takes care of his mother's physical as well as emotional needs and Dev is genuinely appreciative of Sonakshi's every action.

A dubbed version of this show is happening in a Tamil channel and I happened to see that today. The sequence that is currently running there is the one where Sona suggests Nikki to buy a video game for Dev as a gesture of giving back a bit of his lost childhood..Even long before the two confessed their love to each other, Sonakshi had tried to heal his wound..this gesture is something even Ishwari wouldn't have thought about..She would have never thought that Dev's wound can still be healed.. That way, Sonakshi fills all the gaps left in Dev's life (Ishwari has filled most) with the same kind of care and love.. If only Ishwari can realize this...

Ishwari's heartfelt, emotional discussion with mama ji was ok up until a point. I had all the sympathy for her when she said Dev sat in the pooja only because of Sona and not because of her. But I lost the sympathy when she spoke about how she has no problem walking with him in any new path that he takes and that she feels bad if in that path, he holds a different person's hand leaving her behind. Knowing Dev and his love for her, how can she even think that he will leave her behind..Unfortunately, in the world we are living, we see that the younger generation does not support the older generation physically and emotionally..and this universal practice might have made Ishwari to think so...But you have a gem as your son Ishwari ji and the girl he has chosen is a gem too and she will never compete with you..

The Neha-Ranveer track also moved to the next stage this week when the two decided to move to their own house. Although Neha was seen making a genuine effort to be a good daughter in law of the house, her underlying thirst for a comfortable life cannot be hidden for too long. And slowly her frustration builds up, as the two can afford to take only careful tiny steps in improving their lifestyle..

A well made sequence this week was Dev getting sick. It was extremely well made by the creative team as well as all the actors. This, I thought was also an important sequence that pushed everyone to a point beyond which its hard not to express themselves and realize the reality..Sonakshi and Dev, however matured their relationship is, had to totally express how much they needed each other (beyond all the hiding and secrecy of their relationship) and how difficult it is for either of them to be without each other even for one day. Ishwari, however strong she is and however sure she is of her belief that her son has not fallen in love with Sonakshi, had to witness how the two needed each other. Even mama ji had to witness and even emotionally accept the genuine care Sonakshi had for Dev.

The subtle expressions of the actors during this sequence have to be applauded.. Dev taking Sona's support, stopping her from touching his leg to remove the shoes and expressing his desire for her to stay with him and not go was so endearing to see. Sonakshi not hesitating to hold a sick Dev upto his room and taking care of him was a very lovable sequence.. And to cap it off was Ishwari's expression of grief beyond consolation when she heard Dev say Sonakshi's name in sleep. She was devastated to finally realize that Dev is also in love with Sona. Supriya portrayed very well, the distress of a mom who was suddenly unsure of whether her dear sick son needed her or a girl who was a complete outsider to the family... She closed all the doors for Dev and Sona to meet each other atleast for that day.

From this point however, I am scared that Ishwari has lost her rationality..She is become a very possessive and insecure mother. She has forgotten that her place in Dev's heart cannot be replaced by anyone else.

The grand finale of this week was the last scene when Sonakshi completely broke down to Dev and Dev in complete admiration of her love for him. The soul mates waited the whole day longing to be in each other's arms and could not hold any more and had to break down. Sonakshi expressed her feelings very well through her excellent delivery of dialogues 👏🏻👏🏻. And Dev expressed his emotions so aptly even without the dialogues 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 

This finale this week has paved way for the next part of the story to unveil, in which Dev has to express to Ishwari about his love for Sonakshi.
