Week 49 - Dishoom.... Dishooom..with ❤️

Last time it was Shruthi that started the week and this time it is Paro..Next week.. who knows? Dev-Paro jodi is better than Dev-Shruthi..  Dev's charm seems to have no limits :) Paro must have thought.."Ma'm has to be insane, to leave this guy...." Really unimportant information. I know. I know. 😬

Sonakshi got back the home that she lost 7 years ago. Very commendable achievement by a woman in this male dominated society. It was heartening to see the Bose family cherish their golden days spent in their house. Our show did not show the difficulties that Sonakshi had to undergo in the last 7 years to achieve all this. That does not mean it was easy for her. I can definitely comprehend the hardships that she might have gone through and the happiness and a feeling of accomplishment that they all feel now, while getting back the same place again! 👍🏻👍🏻


Soon after that happy moment.. the face-offs started between our dear Dev and sweet Sona.. and it continued till friday and still not over! 😢


"Sweet" is a term usually used for a soft natured person.. And this sweetness is what is often misunderstood for weakness in today's world. Whether its a man or a woman, when we are sweet, we are just being used. It becomes rather necessary to let go off that "sweetness" if there is a need to show power. Thats what is happening in our show. 😐😐


A wall was put up to separate the businesses - but not with Dev's consent. As we know, there are emotions attached for Dev with this building. And it was obviously too difficult for him to put up with another person, another business, working alongside him - be it anyone else or even Sonakshi. Thats only part of the reason for his behaviors. The other part is obviously his love and possessiveness for Sonakshi. 


I really enjoyed the carefree yet confident attitude he showed to Sonakshi, cutting her conversation off with style, very aptly every time. His presence of mind was at its peak on monday! The way he acted scared, laughed sarcastically at her and made fun of her half-cooked business knowledge was all quite "heroic"!! This Dev really suits Shaheer and he handles it with so much ease! From the way he walks to the way he delivers his dialogues, there is so much difference from the earlier Dev to this Dev. It almost seems like a different actor!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍😍


Sonakshi tried her best to put up her confident face. But I am sure that she was taken aback when he withdrew that complaint and deprived her of "being the person that is fearless". Probably to recover from the insult, she concentrated a little bit more on showing off that day, which in turn irked Dev. The way she was inspiring not just her staff, but his staff as well, was definitely irritating Dev..


And this was only the beginning of their tit for tats!


You interrupted my phone conversation with Baba - I will interrupt your conversation with Mami. You call me an incapable Nutritionist - I call you Spineless! You take my pencil box..I will take yours... Oops..sorry that last one was meant for my kids..😂😂😂


Anyway, the irritated Dev wanted to teach Sonakshi a lesson on what will happen if she shared the office space with Ishwari Communications.... So, he locked the door from outside and went home happily! But promptly reminded/cautioned Sonakshi to not have any of her office staff break the lock as that will mean that his office space was being trespassed. At that time, even though he was troubling her, he trusted her and did not even think that she would have her hand on his office files. And to be fair to her, she did not do it on purpose also.


Instead of doing that, Dev should have just switched off all the lights. She would have come running outside...really. Fear for darkness doesn't go even when you get really really old. I am suffering from it, so I know! 😂😂


Anyway, while Sonakshi was trying to find a way to get out of the room without calling any of the staff to come and help and while Dev was anxiously waiting for her call and playing Ludo with his family - Lets quickly take a round on the rest of the cast!


Bijoy Bose has completely lost any and all of the respect I had. He can be proud of himself as the most straight forward person and all that. But, bad mouthing about her dad to Soha is not a very respectable act. His hasty conclusions was one of the reasons for DevAkshi's separation 7 years ago.  And he has not changed a bit.. only worsened. I thought, he, being a father, will understand Dev's importance in Soha's life. But.. No. 😡


Ishwari Dixit does not attract any sympathy at all..I hate to be rude to this genuine mother..But, inspite of the fact that Dev has gotten out of her cage, she insists on putting him back in it. Her constant reminders of Besan halwa and Raja beta will only take Dev farther away from her. I do understand her eagerness to see her dear son lead a happy and content life. But she must realize that happiness is very personal and is the responsibility of an individual, especially, when the individual is not an 8year old boy anymore. In addition to this, Ishwari's bigger problem is the enmity she has developed towards Sona. Sonakshi's perfectness continues to haunt her even after 7 years. Sonakshi's importance in her son's life is still unacceptable to her, even though she is completely gone from his life. 😡😡


Mama ji is now only Bhaiya ji. The "mama" has gone out of him and he is only able to see his sister's pain. But how can we blame him? He does not understand the story from the couple's angle and more importantly he does not realize that his wife and son are truly EVIL. 😡😡😡


Asha Bose probably holds a certain respect and regard for Dev still. And definitely still dreams about the beautiful love story that her daughter once had..Her quiet acceptance of the current situation is probably the need of the hour, especially with Soha around. Unlike Ishwari, Asha has always been a mother that finds happiness in her children's independence. And she continues to do that today. 😊


Well.. coming back to Sonakshi, she found a nice trick to get out of the office. And it was payback time for Dev's actions. Just as I thought that they both were now even... the income tax raid took me by shock. Sonakshi had apparently found fraudulent records in Dev's office while searching for matchsticks...and she had asked the income tax people to enquire about it! Not fair, Ms.Bose. Not fair at all...😒😒


As the week thus came to a closure, I was in deep thought as to why would Sonakshi do something like that. Does she love Dev even a small percent? Dev seems to have very strong feelings for Sonakshi still, you can see it in his eyes.. However, Sona seems very stern and has gone to this level of even affecting the business that he holds very dear to his heart. She has been showing true enmity towards him. 


Dev also showed some enmity, especially by way of snatching her award and making the issues more public. That is still probably not as serious compared to depriving him of his own daughter and shaking his business.


I don't understand all of Sonakshi's justifications. However I do know how the world sees you as a woman.


Women have a grammar unlike men. She must not be arrogant, she must be a loving mother, she must be respectful of her husband and in laws and these are apart from the stupid rules even around what she must wear to cover her body. Anyone, who does not follow this grammar is almost considered a slut. Anyone who does not live with her husband is almost taken for a rebel.


From the age old days of Mahabharat or even before, till today, women are always looked down upon as the weaker sex. Only a girl who puts her confident foot front can be successful. Even once, if she shows her vulnerability, there are hawks outside who will capitalise on that one moment. Dev is not one of those. She knows that. But Vicky is..and there are tons of Vickys in the real world.


Sonakshi's actions are all her survival mechanisms to live in this society without a caring husband's "protection".. And right now, her husband himself is part of the society, not hers anymore. She needs that wall to protect herself from the world. I respect her.


To dilute the seriousness of the situation, producers have made a commendable choice, by adding kids to this show. The Golu-Big cha combo is capturing everyone's hearts and this duo only gets better and cuter every week.


The ❤️ surely exists. Don't worry viewers... Dev has abundant love for his Sonakshi and Sonakshi is only protecting Dev from Vicky. Others may not be able to enter the iron wall around her..But Dev has a pass.

  1. Once again you help me understand this beautiful soap opera. I'm the Brazilian who follows everything without understanding your language. Thanks to your summaries,I can keep track of this for a year.
    Thanks to you and other friends, I can understand the culture and behavior of the Indians.
    Okay, I know it's a soap opera, it's just entertainment, but I understand the woman's position in your society better.
    At first, I tought Dev's behavior aggressive and abusive, but angel4shaheer's friend explained to me how the Indian man behaves when he is injured.
    This exchange is very rich. I'm glad to be a part of that. To be the only Brazilian who accompanies them.
    Yes, I'm crazy, some people are considering me like this, but I love this madness, I love being the most crazy Brazilian fan for Shaheer and for following all this. I feel privileged, in this world of the net, where we find so much hatred, I found an oasis of joy and friendship with other cultures and religions. My thankful will never be enough. Keep it up!!��😘�🏻�🏻
