Week 35 - It's all about Neha!

Neha has always been sad that she never got a chance.. This week was all about her (atleast, mostly about her). But don't worry, our blog will have Dev and Sona moments as well. 😄❤️

I have often been interested in comparing Neha-Ranveer's relationship with Dev-Sona's. And this week was a perfect contrast between the two couple. The main striking difference between them is that one is based on "desires and expectations" and the other is "just love and nothing else".

Long ago, when Ranveer refused to take up the job offer given by Dev, we saw how Neha and Ranveer almost broke up. On that same day, Dev and Sona also had a difference of opinion on that topic. Sonakshi was upset that Dev gave more importance to the economical status of a person than his character and personality.. I am sure you all remember the night when it was pouring rain and Dev waited for hours to clarify his position to Sonakshi.

That night, 2 important decisions were made by the 2 couple. Dev declared to Sona that he is like that - a difficult person to deal with and asked her if she was willing to accept him just like that. On the other hand, Ranveer mended his ways.. and changed for Neha's sake.. and took up that job. On one hand, Sonakshi told Dev that she was absolutely willing to accept him the way he was and that she just needed his company. Neha, on the other hand, accepted Ranveer because he accepted that job. There is one thing that we all know - when there are expectations, be prepared for disappointments as well.

Since Dev and Sonakshi's bond was made only with love, they were able to withstand all storms and ended up happy. Neha and Ranveer's bond was not made with love... Ranveer probably thought accepting that job offer was all that Neha expected of him... Neha herself might have thought that she will be happy with Ranveer with this new job. "Material needs have no limits" is probably the lesson that Neha has to learn. Ranveer should probably learn to embrace Neha with so much love that her love for material needs vanishes from her sight completely and forever.

Having said that, I cannot but feel extremely bad and sad for Neha.  Tears came rolling down, hearing the flash back that Ishwari told about Neha. The year that Dev started going to a better school was the year that Neha had to give up her schooling completely and almost became a mother to the two younger sisters.. She had to give up her opportunity in life, to Dev.. so that one day, he can grow up and earn more and take care of all of them.

It was endearing to watch little Neha take care of her big brother Dev and little Dev trying to help Neha learn...The 2 innocent kids thought they have a lot of time to learn and grow. That was an excellent scene conceived by the makers 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Dev definitely did all his duties as a brother...There is no doubt about that. And he is definitely sad now that Neha is undergoing this right now...As Sonakshi later said, everyone makes mistakes and this was a mistake on their part to have overlooked Neha's current state in planning for their honeymoon. If this was the reason Ishwari fainted and was upset with Dev, then I am with her. However, apart from this, Dev's "15 days away from home and mom" is also bothering her equally or more...😞

Whatever be it, the much awaited honeymoon was cancelled. The story, dialogues and emotions are in the realistic zone always, even amidst highly demanding emotional sequences. One example was Dev's expression of helplessness through anger and Sonakshi's compassion towards Dev as he was struggling to find a shoulder to lean on. I was reminded of the time, when Neha was given away in marriage and Dev was fighting to hide his feelings. Then and now, Shaheer is just excellent as Dev 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This particular scene was very well made. Three cheers to the makers and actors! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Again, I want to reiterate - because, Dev and Sonakshi have "love" that is binding them together, all of this was not a big deal for them. They continue to love each other the same way or even more. While Sonakshi cares about Dev's every  pain and every sorrow, Dev also cares the same about Sona. I particularly loved the subtle way he acknowledged Mami's hurtful talks and asked Sona to rejoin work and to be away from such stress at home ❤️ and to especially not become like her idol Keechu bhaiya (part 2) 😂😂

It was a treat to watch our "old-songs lover" Shaheer who slowly peeked out of Dev...😄❤️ But did Sona just say that it doesn't suit him? Ofcourse, it does!! Dev, everything suits you! Go ahead and live your life. You have been through your share of harder times as well, in your childhood.. And now is the time for you to live and experience happiness!!  The TV screen never fails to brighten whenever the lead pair come together onscreen. Even when they fight onscreen, our heart might feel sad, but our eyes always become 😍😍.

As time went by, Sonakshi slowly seemed to get into the Dixit family, like water in a bowl of flour. It was a wonderful comparison of how people are bound together in a family, just like making the dough using atta flour 😄 Well, its got to be good! Mother-in-law Ishwari Dixit was herself impressed!! 

The reality struck one more time to Ishwari. Mama ji's sensible talk was another highlight of this week. He made Ishwari realize and even express that she is scared of Sonakshi being so good that in her company, Dev may one day, even forget his responsibilities towards his sisters..Dev and Sona are not like that and will never have such intentions and only time can prove this to Ishwari.

Time does heal many wounds, especially in matters of Love. But, Neha's hatred for Ranveer and middle-class life was only increasing day by day. Comparison of husband to brother or father, and comparison of wife to any other woman is a definite bummer in arguments between a couple. Ranveer and Neha just did that 😬😬 Now, this fight that is going on is definitely ego. Honestly, I feel Ishwari and maami are only adding fuel to it. Maami is deliberately doing it. But Ishwari, due to her own insecurities is reiterating Dev's duties (highlighting the terms of the prenup!!) every now and then!! And with such energy around, Neha cannot think calmly, can she?? 😞 Towards the end of the week it came till Divorce request.

The makers have always made sure to weave the right flashback at appropriate times. Neha's emotional and psychological state came through vividly when she explained what happened to her as a child and what was happening to her now. Ishwari had always controlled the flow of Neha's life and especially her thoughts - a small ribbon in place of a new shirt for her brother Dev made Neha happy as a child, only because her mother asked her to be so. But Neha is grown up now and cannot be fooled by what Ishwari wants...Neha made Ishwari realize that bad times surely took away a part of Neha's childhood, but Ishwari had a very big part in taking away all the opportunities that Neha ever had in her life.

Nobody in the Dixit house can think for her from her angle, is Neha's conclusion. Things will turn around for her if this is proven wrong. Will Ranveer or Dev or Sonakshi be able to prove this to her? We have to wait and watch as the beautiful story unfolds next festival week 😊
