Week 33 - And the heat continues

Dev is a businessman by profession. A very passionate lover of Sonakshi. He understands her more than he understands himself..just as he wanted it to be. He worships his mother and is emotionally bound by her love. He let her control him for the last 28 years. And he still continues to, for most part. Probably because of his childhood, he was living a very mechanical life for all these years and he never experienced the many emotions that men of his age would have experienced. So every phase of his life is a discovery for himself - especially his love for Sonakshi. Whether it was expressing it or breaking it or later mending it, he always lived in that moment and reacted for that moment.  This phase of being a husband is also a discovery.. Even though the role of son is a very well known role to him, he is having a tough time in keeping up his new role as a husband while still maintaining his old balance as a son.

Sonakshi is a Nutritionist by profession. A strong, independent woman, by nature. A caring loving wife who loves her husband Dev and looks out for his every need and mood. A good person by heart who thinks logically and puts forth her opinions assertively.  She has a lot of respect for Ishwari as a woman and a lot of regard for her as her mother in law. She was never attracted to Dev because of his wealth and is not such a person who will ever fall prey to material temptations. Sonakshi's weakness, if we must find one, is her assertiveness, which can be very easily misinterpreted for ego and arrogance. She married Dev with many dreams, just like any woman. But she is facing lot of problems in living her dreams in the Dixit home.

Ishwari is a very strong woman by nature. She independently brought up her 4 kids after the demise of her husband. She smartly invested all her energy on her first son Dev with a hope that when he grows up, he will make their life better. Dev did not disappoint her at all and grew up the way she wanted him to be. Dev's new found love, Sonakshi has been disturbing her peace ever since she knew about it. She was temporarily able to get Sona away from her son, but had to give in, as his son's happiness depended on Sonakshi. She has given Sonakshi, a place in her house, not in her heart and is still trying to keep her away from Dev and all the family matters.

I am revisiting these characters, because this week was all about these colors of the three central characters. And we reached the pivotal point of the plot, which was Dev being stuck between the love for his mother and the love for his wife.

When Dev knew about the Navarathri vrth, he was so agitated that he did not wait to even hear what Sonakshi had to say. He assumed that his mother would have forced it on Sona. Although, I still feel Ishwari did have role in it, I don't mind giving the benefit of doubt to her this time. Yes, she did not deliberately force Sonakshi. And therefore, she was offended by Dev's enquiry. Her tone was so weird that Dev was taken aback. I loved his clueless face! Well played as usual Shah! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Sonakshi is pretty much walking on a tight rope. And the sudden storm shook her a bit..Whatever little goodwill she earned in the last 3 days with Ishwari seemed to have suddenly been destroyed.

I really liked how Dev clarified that he was not upset that they have to stay away for 9 more days..but rather he was upset that Sonakshi took the decision all by herself without involving him. But see.. Sonakshi really did not expect this herself until Ishwari mentioned it at the end. It would be a little embarrassing for her to take back her word, just because Ishwari asked the couple to stay away..It was probably a lesson for Sonakshi to not let herself get carried away by the pooja, vrth, etc.

I have started analyzing every move of Ishwari that I thought probably she sending Sona to her mom's house had some motive... but it didnt seem so...probably a genuine gesture..

And I don't want to talk about the harshness that the Bose house Ishwari shows towards Dev. Come on, Bijoy. You must have known him the day he defended Sona in the matter about prenup. Why do you still have that long face! Well.. time has to show you, I guess.

In my home, when we have a misunderstanding, and its my husband's fault (as it ALWAYS is!!), he just comes around doing unusually sweet things until I give in and smile. When Dev said "what do I do.. to make you accept my sorry", I could see me and my husband right there! This show is realistic and there is absolutely no 2 opinions about that 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Who is Neha?  Neha is a girl who had lost her childhood, just like Dev. But because of the opportunities that Dev got, he became a successful businessman. Because of the opportunities she lost, Neha grew up to be that woman who lacked self confidence and who was completely dependent on her brother for everything. Dev made Neha's life beautiful by giving her all the comforts of life.. the comforts that she lost as a child. Ranveer, with his love, brought that confidence back in Neha and made her a happier person. Although Neha agreed to marry him, she did not accept him with all her heart and made a big deal in her mind, of the compromises she was making. Although she said that she was trying hard to accept him the way he was, in reality she always looked at his lack of motivation to become rich as his weakness. Ranveer on the other hand, even though he knew that Neha came from a rich background, failed to understand that her weakness was her need for material comforts and compelled her to be a wife that she can never be. Because their marriage was based on expectations, we all knew their marriage was going to be over sooner or later. And there it was - this week Neha came back to her brother's nest in her pursuit of comfortable living.

When Neha came home, Dev was furious and Ishwari was devastated. Sonakshi, being the person that is not a blood relation, was able to think with a cool head. It doesn't mean she didnt care for Neha.. I did not find anything wrong in her request to let the matter cool down a bit.. Ishwari said only "our own" people can feel the pain of Neha. But thats the beauty of a woman when she becomes someone's wife, right? Even though she doesn't have any blood relation, she still cares for the family members as if they are her own...Ishwari is a woman and a wife as well.. I really wonder why she is unable to see the woman inside Sonakshi who is just like her? Well, time will have to tell us. But until then, we have no other choice but to go through Saas Bahu drama.😉😉

Who is Vicky? Vicky is a rowdy. He is a thief. He disrespects women, especially Dev's wife Mrs.Sonakshi Dixit. He has not studied anything worth while. He spends or rather wastes his day by stalking girls on social media, hiding his identity and following them. He drinks and parties with wrong company. He is someone, who is incorrectly led by a money-minded and selfish mother. And he is also Dev's mama's son. He is Ishwari's dear and respected brother's son. And none of this is hidden from anybody. Dev knows about it. As well as Ishwari, well..atleast that he is a rowdy..

When the discussion about Vicky's job in "Ishwari communications" came up, Dev had to agree, because he knew that he was indebted to his mama.

Sonakshi, the person with "non-manipulative" brain, gave a right suggestion that Vicky should join as a trainee, just like Ria and grow from there. And Dev who rightly respects his good wife, agrees to that suggestion to start him off as a trainee.

Inspite of knowing Vicky's shortcomings, I fail to understand why Ishwari compelled Dev to give a management role to him. I fail even more, to understand why Dev has to give in for that. If payback for the good hearted mama is the intention, Dev should really payback by building a nice comfortable luxury villas for maama and family and send them there..and even make arrangements for a monthly income..Dont you agree? 😉😉😁

But on a serious note, payback for maama will really happen when Vicky is reformed into a good human being. I really hope that Dev (with the help of Sona) one day achieves that. But right now, it seems as if Dev put a chameleon going on the side walk in his own pocket on purpose! 😲 😡

Once upon a time, when Dr.Bose was Ishwari's good nutritionist, Maami used to daunt her by saying she is an outsider and should not do this and do that. But every time, Ishwari used to tell maami that she is not an outsider and that she is a part of the Dixit family. Ishwari even was willing to take Sona's opinion on Dev-Natasha marriage! Now Sonakshi is really a part of the family..yet Ishwari considers her an outsider? And does not want to discuss Neha's issue with her? Why? What kind of love for her son made Sonakshi an outsider for her?

Once upon a time, when Sonakshi was Dev's good friend, she had asked him to stay away from sleeping pills. And he promptly listened to her. However, at one point of time, he felt very stressed and couldn't sleep. He called Dr.Bose to ask whether it was ok to have it just for that night. He called her to ask her opinion about such a trivial thing.. He has taken Sona's advice on very many situations..even Neha's wedding with Ranveer, And now, he doesn't feel he might get help from Sonakshi? He feels Sonakshi's silence is a better help? But why? What kind of love for his mother or for his mama has made him feel that Sona's help is not needed at all?

The Friday's episode was very disheartening and I felt numb for a long time after the show was over. It was as if I had a terrible fight with my husband. It was very realistic and that day, I read a lot of fans on social media saying the same thing! So this is for the whole team 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

One of the main goals this week for Ishwari was to regain her title - that she thought she lost?? Who will tell her that she never lost anything and she is not competing with Sonakshi! Somehow, when Dev agreed to give a managerial role to Vicky, Ishwari seemed happy to have regained what she lost??
