The best thing that can ever happen to a man is having a good woman with him as his life partner. And being that good woman in a man's life is one of the rarest blessing of God. The strength of Sonakshi is not new to us. But this week, we saw a new side of her - a familiar friendly person but in a new circumstance.
A desparate Sonakshi struggling to somehow meet Dev and tell him all about Khatri was the focal point of the first couple days this week. This woman was asked to get out of the house 7 years ago by her own dear husband. She was ill treated by the other women of the house. When she came again with Dev's child, she was sent away like a stranger and not even given a chance to talk to Dev and show their daughter to him. After seven years and many hardships, she is back in Dev's house purely because of a deal they both made in sharing their time equally with their daughter. Sonakshi did not have to deal with Khatri at all..She could have ignored him or she could have even used the secret of Ishwari against her or Dev - for all the humiliation that she had to go through because of them. But she chose to fight him for Dev's sake, for Dev's mom's sake - because she knew that for Dev, his mom was very important. Being a woman comes with the responsibility of being selfless and protective of the people in her family and her heart. Sonakshi is a good woman. If not, things might have gone in a very different direction.
Being a woman comes with the power of understanding another woman's point of view.. Sonakshi always kept Ishwari in good regards, even after she knew that Ishwari was being manipulative. The reason was not just because Ishwari was Dev's mom, but also because, as a woman, she was able to see Ishwari's problems. Even though Ishwari might have done many unpardonable deeds against Sonakshi, Sona or anyone else cannot deny that she did a tremendous job bringing up her four kids single handedly in a world thats no less than a jungle.. And today, when Sona came to know that a noble woman like Ishwari had been undergoing trauma because of a guy like Khatri, she could not let go of him or the problem he had created! She confronted the evil for Ishwari's sake. A good woman, will definitely stand up for another woman.
A woman is synonymous to "Strength". In the past, we have seen Sona's strength when it was a question of proving to Dev that she can also become as successful as he was. We have even seen her blaming him as "Spineless" without any regret. But those were the times that she was retaliating to the humiliations that she went through.. But now, that same strength comes through differently.. as love and care.. Even though Dev is not related to her anymore, Sonakshi knew Dev's weakness - love for his mom and possessiveness for her.. And a good woman should not capitalise on someone's weakness, especially her husband's..instead should give a helping hand when he needs it. and Sonakshi proved that she was Dev's pillar of strength even today, whether they are together or not. She became the guardian angel and protected him and his mom from the evil force of Khatri. The radiance from Sonakshi's strength was so bright that Dev was speechless in front of her goodness!
A woman's goodness has the power to heal any wound and comfort any aching heart. That night, Dev found the comfort he has been missing and longing for all these years.. All the anger he had piled upon Sona, vanished in her kind and selfless act. Shaheer as Dev excelled his earlier performances! His screen presence is always electrifying! The way he expressed his guilt and gratitude was extra ordinary and only Shaheer could have done something like this with such ease!! 😊❤️❤️
But more than that, what I was very surprised was how Dev defended his mother, when he came to know about Khatri's secret. The way he immediately said "my mom is not guilty..what could she have done.. she was a desperate widow trying to bring up her 4 little kids...she did it only for me..if not we would have come to the streets.." - I have not come across any TV show or even movie which touches upon the little gray shades of people and gives some meaning to it, without exaggerating it into a huge negativity. The way he took his mother's guilt upon himself, is by far the best you can describe "loyalty". This person Dev always wanted to be a good son and thats what he did even now - By being that good son and standing up for his mom in any situation.. This loyalty did not come overnight... It took a sincere effort from a mother like Ishwari, to be that trusted person in her child's life. Ishwari sure was a good mother up until the point of making her children (especially Dev) into a successful adult.
Only a good woman can be a good mother. The only hope I have on Ishwari today is because of that. She has to, at some point realize the stress and strain she had created for her "now grown-up", "not-a-ten-year-old-anymore" son. Being a mother itself is a blessed privilege from God. Once you become a mother by God's grace, its very important to be that significant person in your child's life and be a positive influence..
Eleena is Golu's mother. She was never sincere in caring for him. He was left to be brought up by everyone else in the Dixit home. He became dependent on Dev that he is now having a hard time adjusting to Dev's absence in his life.. Mami is Vickey's mother. She is such a bad influence to him! Not that Vickey is great human being. Still, if maami was a good woman, she would have acquired the power of being a good mother as well... Rounita's mom is being a bad inflluence to her daughter. Thank God for Rounita's goodness, positivity is prevailing in the Bose family.
A good woman knows the duties of a good wife. She will be someone who glues every member of the family together, not breaks them apart... When a wife fails in her duty to bind the family together, we know what will happen.. We have seen Neha's life. Even though Ranvir's mother was good, that family failed because of the irresponsibility of Neha. Thankfully, time healed her life and she was able to move on. But we may never know how Ranvir's life was affected 😒
Being a wife, I had always questioned how much I must do to keep the harmony of the family.. Some days, it just seems to me that everyone takes me for granted and expects me to support them physically, emotionally and in all ways possible. If am away somwhere for even one day, no-one else seems to have any clue on how to proceed..Precisely, thats what happened for Dev! His guiding force, his Sonakshi's absence all these years is slowly dawning upon him...
Sonakshi brought him back to his own home and introduced him once again, to "peace" and "happiness" in the form of Suhana. The anniversary celebrations were just a perfect beginning to a new life of Dev-Soha-Sona. The poem cannot be written better than this! It was a wonderful tribute to Dev's fatherhood.
The magic of a woman is such that her tenderness and love has a power and strength to drive away emptiness and negativity and bring harmony to the home! When Dev experienced that magic, all he could do was express how thankful he was for her and how guilty he feels about himself for not being able to be that "good man" and cherish her love. It was good to see Dev acknowledge Sonakshi's ability to effortlessly do everything, without claiming any appreciation..
Sonakshi's beauty as a woman came through this week, not just by bringing back that harmony in Dev's life, but also by acknowledging and taking responsibility of her own mistakes in their failed relationship. The best part this week was how both Dev and Sona took responsibility for their own mistakes. Who is right and who is wrong - trying to get an answer to this question will be futile in any relationship. It will only result in bitterness. Acknowledging our own mistakes is the only way to strengthen a relationship. Husband-wife is the only relationship that needs friendship, companionship, trust and sacrifice equally from both partners and they are both solely responsible for the success or failure of their relationship. No external force can or should have any influence on this relationship!
Our lead characters have taken ownership of their responsibilities and now we will witness how much they can support each other and their daughter while continuing to be that anchor of support for their own parents and siblings as well!
This week was very important for the new chapter to unfold in Dev and Sona's life. There were plenty of moments that were enjoyable and thought provoking. Some moments worth mentioning:
1. The familiar warmth Dev and Sonakshi experienced in each others' company - the reassurancing touch, the warm hug, the friendly handshake brought back our lost smiles.. nice na? 💞💓
2. The happiness in the Dixit home that Suhana brought back! The little girl is kind, understanding, loving and much more mature for her age - she is just perfect for this couple Dev and Sonakshi. The laughter that is heard in this home after so many years is only because of Suhana.😊
3. Shaheer's flawless acting expressing his guilt for not being able to be a good husband or son and his fear and doubt in his ability to be a good father! When he cries, we cry. When he laughs, we do too. When he is angry, we are angry as well. Such is the magic of this actor! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️
4. Erica as Sonakshi has gone into the skin of her role and has carried herself extremely well as the strong, independent, caring, loving, "woman" behind the happiness of Dev! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️
5. The poem was very beautiful and it captured Dev perfectly as a father in his daughter's eyes! He is the cape-less superhero who is so tall that she can climb on his shoulders and touch the moon :) This poem and Sonakshi's definition of Dev - "lamba sa, hero types ka aadmi" made all those Shaheer fans smile with their eyes wide open! 😍😍😍
6. The dialogues were simple, to the point and not exaggerated at all! My favourite one was when he told Sonakshi "Now I am a superhero to Suhana.. but later if I fail her, I cant see the same disappointment I saw in your eyes..seven years ago" and also when Sona told him "I told you that I love you and that I will never leave you... but we bumped upon one problem and I left you easily..Our relationship failed because I failed to trust you".. Even the innocence of our old Dev and Sona peeped in when he said "I dreamt of us going to Paris once, Bahamas another time.. and Alibagh during yet another anniversary" 😂😂
7. The friendship that has gradually started to blossom again in Dev and Sona's life is very pleasant to see. Any sudden redemptions would have been very filmy! This handshake was just perfect! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

ReplyDeleteSonakshi has truly proved that she is a good WOMAN.It remains to be seen if Ishwari and XGKB prove themselves to be true women.
