Week 26 - When the brain took over the heart!

I am clueless just like Dev and Sona as to how to proceed now with my writeup, post breakup!

As always, Sonakshi's family came to her rescue to lift her up and give her the much needed confidence to move on. I cannot blame her for trying to move on so soon. In our country and elsewhere, women have certain perceived social barriers. In order to break those and be successful personally and professionally, women need to be stronger (atleast act stronger) - stronger than men, who don't have such barriers. A family like the Bose family invests a lot (not financially, but emotionally) in bringing up a strong daughter. Therefore, its more important for them to make sure that their daughter stays stronger, especially in the storm. And because she has been told this from childhood, it was no wonder that Sonakshi tried to get up and continue to run. Her emotion at that moment, was perfectly described in her dialogue "mujhe un par bahot gussa hai. par, mein unse bahot pyaar bhi karti hoon". And, what else can she really do?? She did not have any options.. She just had to accept what Dev told her and walk away. Dev never really gave her an option in anything, not now, and not ever!


I especially liked Sonakshi when she spoke to Ishwari who attempted to justify the breakup! There is absolutely no doubt to Sonakshi that she was a reason in some way, for Dev's happiness. If not for her, who else is going to tell Ishwari about that!  Sonakshi's strength is her confidence, her sincerity,  and her ability to articulate her mind voice. And Sonakshi's display of strength is not new to us - from the time she repelled Dev by saying "Aap ek paise wale gareeb hein, who cannot afford this doctor!", she has always been a strong girl!


And Dev stood by his character definition as well.. When it is about his mom, he will make it happen for her, whether it is the right thing to do or the wrong. This is the same Dev we are talking about, who went out of his morals and values and made false accusations about Dr.Sonakshi's professional integrity, just so that she will take up the job as his mother's nutritionist. Over time, Sonakshi has surely captured his heart and taken over him completely. The question is, how much unreasonable can he go for keeping Sonakshi to himself? After all, she is the one thing he ever wished for "himself"..


I couldn't believe my ears when Dev told his family that he and Sona broke up as they were not compatible!! Even though we know he is making it up, it just does not fit the Dev-Sona that we know :( Dev - I wouldn't be surprised if they renamed the word "compatible" to "DevAkshi" in the dictionary!! You guys were that compatible :( I couldn't help but feel very sad for Dev. There was no one to lift him up. 


The rocket speed with which Sona was collecting herself up was daunting for Dev. While he was still struggling to finish every minute of a day productively, Sona was moving on to find not just a new job for herself, but also a new person in her life. 


The match making that Ishwari did for Sona made her look smaller than ever before.. If Dev and Sonakshi finally find out that Ishwari was the master mind behind this match-making, Ishwari is going to repent very badly.


Dev is pretty much in sync with the fans in social media. Fans are reminiscing the DevAkshi happy times..and so is Dev. Shaheer as Dev has once again neatly portrayed as the man who let go of his love which was his utmost happiness and which brought color in his life.."Jo pyaar tha kushi, usi ne dard bhar diya..jo pyaar tha suhana, usi ne be rang kar diya..." - wonderful song and no-one can portray Dev better than Shaheer and this is probably the least compliment I can give him.. ❤️😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Whether it was trying to reclaim his right to talk to her over phone, or it was longing to make her stay in front of him amidst her bashings, or it was struggling to even breathe as he pushed himself to get through a single day at work, he just lived the Dev that he is playing. The emotions he showed  when he saw Sonakshi with Ritvik was excellent!  The anger, the disappointment, the frustration with which he spoke when his mom came to his room were all just too good for words to even describe. Shaheer as Dev - the man who broke his own heart is winning everyone's hearts 😊. I knew that if you are in a show, it will be worth watching! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 


I am so much angry with Ishwari now that I cant say anything positive about her this week. She is at peace now that Dev and Sonakshi have parted ways, even without her having to openly express her disapproval. It was slightly a relief when Dev got upset with her for saying "I just want a little happiness and a little time from my son".. Dev spoke out our mind voice and said.. "Am I only giving you a little??????" And thank God, mama also opened up and told Ishwari as a matter of fact that Dev gave up Sonakshi only for making her happy. It surely made her guilty, although its going to take a long time for her to realize the intensity of her mistake. The finale of the week when Sonakshi spoke to Ishwari definitely needs a big applause to the dialogue writers, especially... Maami (and Ishwari) got a fitting reply from Sonakshi for comparing her love for Dev to a glass of water...But I must say, I really liked gareeb ki beti a little bit on friday, when she made Ishwari realize (unknowingly atleast) that Dev's life was becoming lifeless without Sona... Sonakshi was absolutely right..Dev did live a bit of his childhood with Sona. As a mom, Ishwari must be happy to see her son happy..But instead she took away his happiness. Ishwari's speechless face was good to see!


"There are 2 kinds of people in life - one who eat the pizza in full, one who leave the corners." - that was a good way to look at "the happy and difficult parts of life equally" Ritvik as a light hearted bengali doctor, will otherwise be a good fit for Sonakshi (except the height of course - No one can compete with our Dev on that!!) He surely earned some goodwill from the fans for cheering up our Sonakshi. Sonakshi has started to see a friend in him with whom she was able to share her story of unfulfilled love. 


However, someone, so soon and so easily cannot take Dev's place in our Sona's life. A person's first love is forever and I don't want to see Sonakshi as the girl who just acts happy and lives for the sake of others and cries her heart out resting on a wet pillow at night.. People say a lot about Devdas.. not as much about Paro. Like I said, women have a lot of barriers and have to hold even their tears...


Dev is in pain to see his own Sonakshi with someone else these days. He has to realize, however strong she looks outside, its extremely hard for her and she is trying to move on, only because she has no other choice.. At the same time, Sonakshi should also realize that however angry and unreasonable he may seem outside, there is a little child inside him that has been weeping for the last one week..as he is struggling to give her up..She has seen the tenderness of Dev before, hasn't she?


And this is how the story unfolded this week - when the brain took over the matters of the heart. Brain or heart - we cannot settle for anything other than Dev and Sonakshi together. 


The journey from "Tu mujme mujse zyaada hai" to "Jeena na bhaye..phir bi hai jeena zaroori.." has been one unique ride and we cannot forget even a single moment of that ride. I don't know how much we must endure, before we can see Dev and Sonakshi together...

  1. Very aptly put. I am really hating the bitterness between them, if it lasts longer then won't be good for the viewers. Show the love between them.
