Last week ended on a note of urgency in letting Ishwari know of their relationship. Dev was honestly keen on telling Ishwari about his love for Sonakshi. However, I can totally relate to his hesitation. Its really not that easy to walk up to your parents and say that you are in love with someone and that you are planning on spending the rest of the life with that person.. The immediate question that will come up is "Is it a permission or information?". Because, up until that day, at least in our culture, we are used to taking the permission of elders before starting anything new. And all of a sudden, if you tell them about your relationship..it is sure to come as a huge shock to them..they will not be necessarily unhappy, but there will surely be a feeling of betrayal. While this is true for any normal parents - Ishwari is special and her bond with Dev is much different than any normal mom-son relationship and Dev was completely aware of that.. Therefore however prepped he was, while that moment came in front of him, it was natural that he could not tell her that. Plus, talking about a relationship with your parent will surely be embarrassing for any person, leave alone Dev. I want to especially applaud the makers for acknowledging and showing that hesitation. Going and openly talking about this with your parents might seem filmy but not so, in reality! His hesitation was understandable..But he never thought that his hesitation would actually result in a big change in Ishwari...
Ishwari has always been a kind person. Not just with her own kids, but even with others, she has always been a kind person..Even when maami was harsh with Sonakshi, Ishwari was always kind with her and tried to ease any tension that mami created, with kind words. With Ranveer, even before knowing about his relationship with Neha, Ishwari was always kind. With all the cooks and drivers too, she had always been kind and was never seen using a harsh word with anyone. Instead, even when such situations arise, she had always used kindness to solve quarrels..I am sure you all still remember how she tried to patch up with Sona after Dev broke her phone..Such a person had completely changed now. She was not even 100% sure about their relationship. But still she used such harsh, and unpleasant words with her. Not just with Sonakshi..even with Dev. Ishwari probably has never been so rude with Dev. But this week, she was complete irrational! She knew exactly what will irk Dev..she started hurting herself by over working.. straining.. cooking constantly..not eating on time... All of this was because Dev did not share about his relationship with Sona...at least, thats what she thought.
This whole sequence of events had completely changed the overall personality of the "strong" Dev Dixit to a rather weak (at least in Sona's eyes) and and an unusually dishonest son of Ishwari...He could not tell his mom about the truth, because he thought his mom was not in a good mood.. he was completely clueless as to why Ishwari was behaving so weirdly. Little did he know that he and his hiding the truth was the reason 😢 And he was also completely out-of-sync with Sona this week, because he could not do what Sona expected him to do - talk to Ishwari about their relationship 😒
Sonakshi Bose, the confident nutritionist, the daughter who is like an open book to her parents, the friend who always had answers to Dev's every single question, above all, the person who knew how to stay strong even when she was fighting the emotional breakdown during Dev-Natasha engagement preparations - Where was she? Mami and Ishwari were hurting her with words every second of her stay at the Dixit house and she was just quiet.. She knew Dev had to be open with his mom about their relationship, but was not able to persuade him enough to do that... She knew it was not nice to hide anything from her parents, still she was keeping quiet. This is not the Sonakshi Bose that we know...
The 3 pivotal characters had thus completely changed, atleast temporarily. Ishwari always lives in the past and is unable to accept any change that comes with time. Dev is only living in the present and is unable to move forward without making sure the things of the present are perfect. Sonakshi wants to move on to the future quickly.
As the week progressed, it was finally good to see Sona speak up for herself to Dev - "You cannot take me for granted". And it was finally good to see that the Bose family knew all about Dev-Sona relationship, even if its not through Sona herself. The Bose family is unique not just because they are a cool family. The care and trust they have on each other is so strong that they are able to forgive their flaws in a snap and able to embrace each other with the same love.
Maami had always been the stirrer in the Dixit house, constantly trying to instigate negative thoughts in Ishwari's head..She did her job with extra vigor this week! Maama, who usually stays quiet and keeps a low profile, took the role of a moderator when he tried to divert Ishwari's confused mind and asked her to keep herself busy and offered a walk with her in the Lodi Gardens..Who knew Ishwari will take over the role of a cook at home to keep herself busy! Mama ji became a mediator between Ishwari and Dev and solved the biggest puzzle for Dev as to why his mom was behaving differently. I especially liked the Mama-nephew conversation.. and I thought it was a good explanation not only to Dev, but even for the younger audience who found the behavior of Ishwari completely irrational.. Mama's explanation as to Ishwari is not angry with Sonakshi but rather with Dev for hiding this relationship from her. And that this was a kind of betrayal of the trust Ishwari had on her son.. Dev finally realized that the more he delays talking to Ishwari, the more the whole thing is going to go out of hand.
The Ishwari-Dev conversation was probably the most important event in Dev's life and he was having a lot of expectations out of the conversation. Even for the audience, it was the most looked forward sequence. It was awesome to see Dev speak his heart out about Sonakshi, and about how much he was in love with her. But Ishwari had the most emotionless face during the conversation, I use "emotionless" as a compliment here 😄 As Ishwari herself later realized, Dev was searching for that happiness in her face but couldn't find it..Yes, Dev has now cleared everything with his mom. But, although she said his happiness was hers, she was not able to somehow experience that happiness, because, she was not ready to share Dev with another person. She might never be able to experience an utmost happiness with this decision of Dev to have another girl in his life, be it Sonakshi or some one else..Ishwari has changed for good ..and she can probably never go back to her old self, because its now certain that Dev's love is not all for her anymore.
Infact, we already got to witness this instability in Ishwari in the finale of this week, when she tried to prove to maami that Dev still considers her important than anything else. There was so much of pride in her face when Dev uttered those magical words "mere maa se badkar kuch bhi nahi hai". She is only going to constantly prove this to herself and to maami...Hmm..This is how blood pressure increases for elders, I guess..😁
But this avatar of Ishwari is only for us. For Dev and Sonakshi, its the state of "Happily ever after"..They are both flying in happiness. Dev's gesture of lifting her up was symbolic of that :) The subtle romance of Dev and Sonakshi is beautiful and compelling and with all the sad and stressful days this week, the makers were thoughtful to end it with a happy note. The fandom cannot sleep during the weekend without atleast one DevAkshi scene ❤️😍
We are now stepping into the next phase next week.
I may not be able to do the analysis for a couple of weeks.. Meet you all soon 😊 Cheers!
