Week 43 - When the going gets tough

Family is not just 2 or more people living under the same roof and sharing the food. It is defined by the love that every member shares with the others in the home. There may be arguments, fights or even prolonged silence due to those fights..but in the end, the love which is the foundation wins! Such a family is always seen protected by every member in their own way. 

Our beautiful Dixit family was seen fighting with each other, for each other, as the going got tougher and tougher every day of this week! They relentlessly stood up for each other. A wife fought with everyone, to protect her husband's dear sister's life. A mother in law fought with not just the outside world, but with her own son to protect her daughter in law. A husband, brother and son fought with even God to protect his family. It got us all almost on the edge of the seat every day with some twist or the other 😲😲


The week started off with the "case of Ayaan" taking a sharp turn. Sonakshi's video proof was out in public for Ria, Ishwari and other Dixit members to see. It's a bitter truth that men like Ayaan do live in this world and even a strong girl like Ria could get carried away by circumstances and fall in his trap. But for Sona, Ria's life could have been devastated.

GKB and Neha's dislike for Sonakshi was so much that they were blinded from seeing the logic of the situation. But, Thank God, the irrational Ishwari is history now. What we have in our show now is the genuine mother and therefore Sona's secret mission in "the case of Ayaan" was received well inspite of the resistance by Neha and GKB. I enjoyed watching Ayaan-Khushi's secrets getting exposed in front of his parents. What an encounter it was! 😲😲 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Even though we all know that Sonakshi's pregnancy lie is a bubble and is going to burst soon, we could not but drench in the happiness that this lie has brought, especially in Sonakshi's and Ishwari's lives. Their little talks about the unborn child was pleasant to see. Who will have the heart to disturb that! 😘😘❤️😄


In another gripping episode after Khushi pushed Sona, I almost thought that the truth will get revealed in the hospital. Thank God, Ayaan's treacherous but timely help came in disguise and stopped the doctor from revealing it. Sometimes, I feel the doctor should have just opened it up to Sonakshi.. The problems would have been solved then and there...🤔🤔 That way, I liked the first doctor more - who refused to do any treatment on Sonakshi without her consent. She was straight forward and honest and right away refused to be part of Dev's "incorrect and illegal" plan. 


Anyway, as fate would have it.. Dev had to temporarily fall in Ayaan's trap!

I was reminded of a small story from the Holy Bible. A man asked God "Dear God, you told me, you will never abandon me..Look at the footsteps behind us. For as long as I was happy, you stayed with me. But during my tough times, you left me. See, I was walking all alone". God replied "Son, those are the times, I carried you on my shoulders..I will never abandon you, my dear son". 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️


When the going gets tougher and tougher for us, we may feel that God is not with us and may get angry with God, just like our dear Dev. But really, God always protects us and those that believe in Him will never fail. See how God made Sonakshi and Ishwari bond so well...


Thanks to Ayaan, Dev was thrown out of the house and in one of the most genuine sequences of this show, Ishwari spoke her heart out to Sonakshi. Ishwari explained how her insecurities overpowered her common sense and how she failed to see the genuineness of Sona, even though it was right in front of her eyes. I was waiting eagerly for that one statement when Ishwari declared that  - she has not changed just because Sonakshi was going to give her a grandchild. Now my confidence on Ishwari is pretty high and I am sure that even if the complications of Sona's pregnancy comes to the forefront, there will not be any regression in Ishwari's behavior... Well.. atleast I hope so..🙏🏼🙏🏼


Just like us, even though Dev was taken aback by this move of Ishwari to throw him out of the house, he was more than happy to undergo that punishment. He was thrilled that his dear mom took Sonakshi's side against even him, for the first time! 😊


Whether it was the helpless Dev struggling to stop the truth from reaching Sona or the happy Dev, rejoicing the Ishwari-Sona bonding or the angry Dev, that took the bad man avatar to destroy Ayaan or it was the cute Dev that apologized with his puppy face to Ishwari and Sonakshi - Shaheer as Dev shone throughout this week! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️😄😍😍


The Bose family track on the side was interesting. The dry and wet waste segregation was a very useful lesson in today's world. And, it was also good to see this side of Bijoy, who can even flirt with neighbors!! The Vicky-Eleena-GKB track was also quite enjoyable. Vicky seems very harmless and a complete good boy!!


But the show stealer was Dev's angry young man avatar which was especially superb this week. His careful execution of the plan to get Ayaan arrested for attempt to murder charges was a "bollywood superstar movie" style and was quite a hair-raiser!  😲😲👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


It is true that when the going gets tougher, strong people get to work and not sit and wait for the storm to pass. Strong people never give up. This is what Dev wants to prove to God. However there are some storms that cannot be overpowered. And it often takes the darkness of such a storm to show us the light of God's presence! I am sure Dev will be enlightened soon!


As we move on to the next week, I realize that its now, very difficult to predict in which direction the story would go - unlike the other stereotypic TV shows! 


We just have to wait and watch.


Miracles happen.. especially this time of the year when Santa grants everyone's wishes. Lets hope for the best. Merry Christmas! 😄
