Week 50 - Forever and Always...

Congratulations to team Kuch Rang Pyar ke Aise bhi for completing 50 amazing weeks!! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

What can I say about this week.. Finally our heavy emotions is starting to find a passage to drain.. I felt myself lighter, brighter, happier as each day of the week passed by..And am sure every "true" DevAkshi fan felt the same way. πŸ˜Š

There was no Paro..no Shruthi.. because, we are now talking about True Love.... True Love that never dies... True Love that triumphs... True Love for which everything else has to move and give way...❤️

The True Love of our story has many obstacles. 

One of the main being the 2 families.

Well, not really the families, but Dev and Sonakshi's affection for their individual families. And their inner pressure to somehow protect their families independently...Both Dev and Sona, somehow didn't trust each other as much to let go off their own families. Its probably the case with the whole world. After marriage, we all somehow feel, we have given up a part of our responsibility towards our own family, in order to be with our spouse. And we try to make up for it in some way, all the time..

And in our story, Ishwari (and maami) never left a single opportunity to put down the Bose family. For Sonakshi, it was not easy to endure it at all. But she continued to do so.. until the point her Dev was standing with her.. That day of their return from Shimla, the moment she knew that Dev was against "her" family and is on the side of "his" family...her own protective reflex was triggered. It was very natural from her view, to take it upon her to protect "her" family...Reflexes are a matter of split seconds and you cant control those...She had no time to think that Dev would never slap her father or would never bring her family to the streets...

Bose family is not directly against Dev-Sonakshi relationship. But there are some things that bother me even from their angle.  I cannot give them a clean chit... We all know that Bijoy's hastiness had been one of the main reasons for the separation 7 years ago. Asha is probably the only "Sane" person of that generation in both families. She is probably the only person that understands Dev and his love for Sonakshi. And most importantly, she is the only person Bijoy and Sonakshi will heed to, even when their anger quotient is rocket high...With that power she had, I wish she had persuaded a little more in calming them down during that really dreadful night 7 years ago..Saurabh, the big brother was never really the "big" brother.. Atleast when things started to fall apart (all because of the help he got), he could have stepped up to say some things. Even today, after so many years, he just sings in tune with the rest of his family..I got angry when he said "Iss aadmi kya chahtha hain"

I talk about all these things now - because, this is the crux of Ishwari-Asha's conversation this week. Both of them were trying to heal the wound by covering it up... From Ishwari's side there is nothing that she can dare to cover up. But she had the guts to still expect Sonakshi to be considerate to her family and her son. Asha gave the right answers to Ishwari, quite assertively. But, she was also only washing her hands off of any responsibilities towards Sonakshi's decisions. Now its Sona's job, Asha cannot interfere.. agreed. But seven years ago, it was personal. And I somehow still feel she was the only person at that time, that had some power to set things right .. And to not inform Dev about Suhana is also not completely right...Asha surely left a few stones unturned. There is one more thing that the Bose family very conveniently ignored - the Prenup. Bijoy was a witness to how Dev reacted to the Prenup. If only he or Asha mentioned it to Sona, she would have thought about the signature on the prenup twice... she definitely would have.

But this Ash-Ish conversation paved way to introspect their roles... "You have done enough, 7 years ago..Now, Sona does not need your help" - Am sure this will keep Ishwari's mind busy πŸ€”πŸ€” "You never interfere in your children's life" - Am sure this will keep on questioning Asha if she did the right thing πŸ€”πŸ€” Hopefully these 2 mothers will get the right answers soon and move away from being an obstacle for this True Love to blossom again..

The other obstacle for the True Love is Dev and Sonakshi's possessiveness for each other.

We all know enough about Dev's possessiveness. Last time, his possessiveness somehow worked in his favour and helped him marry Sona. But this time, it has cost him his Love...Dev has always been respectful of Sonakshi's intelligence and capabilities (except the car driving ofcouse..😬😬). He has always given her enough space to be herself and grow. He has never shown his "male superiority" to overpower her in any way. But that night his possessive reflex was challenged by her choice of her family over him and his family.. The more she said "my family", "my baba", he somehow he lost his cool and said many things that he shouldn't have...not right. But we don't have control over our Reflexes.😞

Sonakshi loves Dev very dearly. Very very dearly. But she has never openly expressed her possessiveness...Had she expressed it, she would have defended him in front of her parents saying "Dev wouldn't dare to slap you baba.. it was a mistake". She would have fought with Dev and "his family" when he asked her to get out of the house! She would have confronted Dev that night and held him by his collar and would have asked him "How dare you sign that prenuptial agreement.. Don't you trust my Love for you.. Tear that agreement this second and burn it and prove to me that I am the most important for you..." And guess what, he would have done that, before she even finished her sentence - just to hold her again in his arms. Well... lack of possessiveness is also not good...😞

7 years later, Dev is still struggling to get over that possessiveness he has for her. Even if our relationship is based on "hatred", let me be the "only" person that hates you the most and hurts you the most. He wanted to rescue her before the earth quake hurts her. Ofcourse, his hatred for her is only a false fence that he made for himself, so that she and others don't see his crazy love for her.. Little Golu was the only one who can enter that fence to see the soft broken heart inside.. πŸ’”

With Jatin's entry, Dev has to now work extra hard to keep his possessiveness under control. Dev has always been an impulsive person.. Although he has changed a lot over time, its pretty evident that he still struggles to keep his mind free of thoughts about Sona. He must hone his acting skills even more to cover up his true feelings for her.

7 years later, Sonakshi is also beginning to see herself shaken one more time by his power of Love. She still does not want to believe that he has the power to sweep her off the floor in a second.. But she cant deny that its happening! The floor beneath her shook not because of the quake, but only because of his presence. She wants to protect him from Vicky and his evil tricks (the income tax raid was really only to save him from bigger losses). She finds herself next to Dev the moment she knew he was in danger. She doesn't save him to be the only person to hurt him.. She saves him from everything that might ever hurt him. She has the power to fight even with God, if need be! Vicky is nothing. After all, she is a woman. And there is nothing superior to the "Womanpower" in this world.πŸ’ͺ🏼πŸ’ͺ🏼

She may not accept yet, but thoughts about Dev keep haunting her. Tall reminds her of him..handsome reminds her of him..funny, angry, strong, everything reminds her of him.. And to add to it, she is right next to him in office. Once you like Dev, its hard to let go.. He was right. She was not ok and she should also work extra hard to keep her mind away from him.

I am sure that these two hearts have started to realize the feelings for each other again.. Things will soon start to surface up from deep inside - things that they have hidden from the rest of the world.. Slowly, the fence they have created for themselves will break - the false bravado, the flamboyance, the "I don't care about you attitude", etc.

The other obstacle is the "Ishwari" component

There is nothing new about this. And if we start to talk about it, 7 years is not enough to finish it all...

But this obstacle is beginning to lose its power. And True Love will soon over power it. The dialogues between Ishwari and Dev were so apt that it hardly needs any interpretation!

Ishwari is not evil for most part. But 2 main evil things that she did that night - 1. flip of words - She said "Go to a separate house" to Dev. But to Sona, she said "You should get separated". When questioned, she casually told Dev - "Whatever I told you is what I told her".
2. getting the prenup - This act of deceiving, she did even before the marriage. But brought it up at the right moment, which had the power to separate Sonakshi and Dev.
For Sonakshi, these two acts together, was enough to convince her that Dev wanted separation...

From Dev's side - its a biggest disappointment. Biggest deceit. Ishwari still cannot openly accept these big evil deeds. She continues to act a faultless mother, and blaming Sonakshi for all that happened. For the past 7 years, Dev has distanced himself from her only because of these. He respects her even now as any son should, which only shows his goodness. She refuses to accept her mistakes, which only shows she is not a good mother.

However this week, we saw some open discussions in this matter. Ishwari finally said something that is completely true "For the past 7 years, you have kept relationship only with Sonakshi - be it a relationship of hatred!!"
And Dev's dialogues to Ishwari were just bang on "What are you afraid of - for me or for the fear of Sona getting into your life again? What is your complaint about her - that she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a wife or she did not die in the process? I have forgotten my love for her..but I cannot destroy the memories I made with her.." πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

With such open conversations beginning to happen, Ishwari has to, at some point accept her mistakes. Because, basically she is not evil.😊

The last obstacle - the real Evil

Mami and Vicky are the real Evil people in this drama. Its not a hidden secret. Its not hidden from Ishwari that their intention is only money. Its not hidden from Dev that Vicky is "useless" and Mami is "materialistic". However, they have never been questioned because they are "family".

What they did that night, especially Vicky, is still a hidden secret. Unless Vicky opens up, there is no way for others to know that Dev was not guilty (that the Bose house was snatched by "Ishwari communications"). Even Dev does not know that he is not guilty - because he was under the influence of alcohol that night.

Today, after many years.. Vicky's evil face is slowly getting exposed..one by one.. Its not going to be long before Ishwari can realize that forcing Dev to include Vicky in business was the biggest mistake she ever made!

Setting up goons to harm his brother is by far the cheapest act anyone can do..πŸ‘ŠπŸ»πŸ‘ŠπŸ» But unknowingly, it only paved way for Dev and Sona to keep aside their masks and be themselves..even if it was only for a short period.

This evil obstacle will soon be shattered to pieces by the sheer power of true love. In that direction, GKB has already started to put some restrictions on Vicky.. Thank God, she does not want to harm Dev physically :) She took me by surprise..!

The Catalysts, the kids, the cute Golu and the sweet Soha

While the obstacles are getting out of the way, the little kids have the power to bring Dev and Sonakshi together.

Golu and Dev are best friends these days! While the rest of his folks only speculated the motive and repercussions of Dev saving Sonakshi from earthquake, Golu was the only one to simplify it.. While Ishwari was busy pointing out the mistakes of Sonakshi as a woman and wife, Golu was the only one to express the gratitude in a simple way. I can't wait to see Golu befriend Soha and take her for a bike ride with his Big cha.🏍🏍

Soha is the only source of strength for Sonakshi. Suhana is a replica of Dev in her personality and mannerisms and keeps the good memories of him alive for Sonakshi. So much, that, even though she has never seen her dad, the imaginary picture resembled Dev exactly! This connection that she has with her dad will only strengthen when they meet each other!!  Needless to say, she is going to be the biggest catalyst in getting her parents back together.πŸ˜„

The high points this week:

- Shaheer's eyes. He doesn't need dialogues to express himself. I cant praise him enough. His eyes constantly questions Sonakshi.. "Why.. why did you leave me? Can't you see me dying for you?" Ofcourse the mask that he is wearing does not fail to show the false bravado! Every scene, every dialogue was a masterpiece this week, whether it was his scene with Golu or Ishwari or Sonakshi,  he was a show stealer this week! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜πŸ˜

- Dialogues. Already this blog is so long. If I start to point out the specific dialogues, we will only run out of space..Dev's every single dialogue with Ishwari, was bang on! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»  "28 saal bahot thameez dikayi maine", "Toh tumhari shikayat kya hain? Usne rishta nahi nibhaya ya jaan nahi di?" His interaction with Sona was so powerful "Dev Dixit mar raha hai..woh bhi Sonakshi ki bahoan main.." These as well as all the funny dialogues between Dev and Sona and between Dev and Golu were all quite enjoyable! The Bose sir name wali.. bahot khatranak hoti hai! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

- The screenplay. The way the scenes are conceived need a special mention. The whole rescue of Dev by Sona was very nicely conceived in a lighter vein, yet too emotional. Complex relationship issues are so aptly conveyed from the kids' angle. The screenplay is another hero of this show! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» 

- Erica - She brings about a very real, very strong woman of today. Her expressions compliment the power packed performance of Dev very aptly. Her underplayed drama makes her look real and very relatable.πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

- Ishwari - Needless to say, this experienced actress brings about so much conviction to the grey shade of Ishwari. Her scenes with Dev bring the anger of the viewers to the forefront, rightly so.!!

Its going to take a while before the obstacles can clear and give way for True Love to blossom. Until then, the lead characters are going to be keeping their "I don't care" and "I care" mask on and off. The process will surely keep us glued to the show. But once it blossoms, it will be forever and always.

  1. I loved it.. But one thing I think isn't shown is that sonakshi signed the prenup papers but she mustn't have told Bose family or else bijoy and Asha would have clarified to sonakshi that dev was against it. Sonakshi may later get to know about this when her insecurities for Soha rises. That night, things were so difficult that they hardly must have discussed what happened at the farmhouse between sona and dev.. My POV.. ☺️

  2. Brilliant. We will have to wait and watch how and when Dev and Sona will drop this facade of indifference and come together as Devakshi.
    I would like to say something about Ishwari here as you have rightly pointed out that she is one of the prime reasons for the separation of two pure and deeply attached souls. In the epic poem " Kaikey ka Paschatap" the poet Maithili Sharan Gupt says that after she sent Lord Ram to vanvas she ruminates inconsolably that a putra can be kuputra but how can a mata be a Kumata? On the instigation of mantara she had sent her most beloved Ram to vanvas in the greed for throne for her other ( own) son Bharath This was an act of a kumata The Gods of the three heavenly kingdoms too would never forgive her ?Ishwari is this Kumara, sacrificing the happiness of one of her most loved child for the sake of her other children. She got the prenup signed by Dev, stealthily , in order to guarantee the well being of her other three children. Ishwari will have to burn in the fire of remorse till her death, like Kaikey did in Ramayan.
