Dev-a true normal Hero:)

The way Dev's charach has been shown is credulous, brave and passionately in love . He stands up what he judges to be right and even doesnt hesitate to address his heartfelt feelings . He takes up challenges and fights adverseries rather whining and sulking. He loved a girl and wanted to marry her but couldnt regretably becoz of the girl ( at least partially). He didnt know the name of girl and still made efforts to find about her, win her over. He is married to someone he didnt wish to and doesnt love, he tries to live with his so called wife but falters. Yet it doesnt dishearten him he still pines for his love hence continues to make efforts and as luck favours the brave he gets overt signs of the girl loving him too. But for some reason the girl refuses to acknowledge it, does it dissuade him?nope he defiantly decides to make the girl confess her love. With every valiant effort of his to win his love, he is slowly and surely getting closer to the girl. Isnt he truly a Hero, yet a normal man.

RB, this is a very good character sketch of Dev ... 😊

Glad you liked it😳.

Yes, from Radhika's point of view, he is the best husband a woman could hope for.

Very well said👏

But the creatives have cheated. Vishakha's character as the careless wife, makes it easy for the viewer to forgive Dev for being oblivious to the fact that he is married to her ... while pursuing her sister.

I agree that the creatives have put blemishes in Vish's charac but I think thats to make it easier for Radh to be accepted rather than Dev. Men always get away with adultery!😆 Once a woman is married to a man she is expected live with him even if its living hell. Dev always wanted to marry Radh and it was inexorable switch by Shastri's & Radh to have Vish married to him ( in societal eyes at least). Viewers have sympathy with Dev becoz he loved Radh, wanted to marry her infact did marry her and is now ensuing her to accept her love.

One more thing. Dev is a good looking guy and the majority of the female viewers are like ... "But he is so cute. Who cares if he is unbridled? The guy is so hot, sigh, if only someone like Dev loved me." I am sure many of us watch the Dev-Radhika scenes with tears in their eyes.

We, the romance-starved viewers, are so blindly in love with Dev's character (and Avinash Sachdev's good looks), that we are ready to look the other way as long as we get to see Dev and Radhika gazing into each others eyes and romantic Hindi songs playing in the background.

The good looking part only works when one is young, puerile & unseasoned abt the real ways of life. Why I like Dev is becoz he is making efforts and doing what he feels his right. Unless we do something how can we reap the result? If one is hungry one must fend for food, no GOD is going to produce it for u. Still you will have to chew your own food. In Dev's case it does ques his stand towards his wife but both ( Vish +Dev)dont love each other? Is loveless marriage worth it? Dev never consumated the marriage altho Vish wldnt have objected to it. Despite being pushed into a heartless marriage he did try to make it work which luckily Vish too didnt want and eventually both maintained their distance. Dev]s love is pure and profound in this sense. Its not a passing fad, he is committed to it.
The creatives sure know how to mess with our heads. 😉

Now I have a question for you -- if you were to swap places with Dev, will you behave like Dev? Will the RB friends and family circle see a reckless, passionate, ladylove-and-family-gone-with-the-wind RB ........ or will they see the level-headed, gentle, down-to-earth, dutiful RB ? 😍

If I were to swap places, well I being logical and real,😆 and in real life the approach wld be befitting it. . Dev is after all fictitious so he can get away with lot of things like meeting Radh surreptitiously. I had stated this before too the girl swapping cannot happen without the connivance of women from both boys and girls side. Still if it happens definitely I wld want to unravel the truth abt the swap and the true bond of marriage lwdnt be created. One cannot pursue another one, the way Dev pursues Radh, as that wld be invite societal wrath. I guess in the serial thats done just to flutter a few hearts😆😆.

Surely my actions wld be appropriate and mature and I believe that if I am not happy then I wont be able to keep people ard me happy. All marriages lead to procreation and would it be fair for children to be brought up in loveless home? What was their fault? An affectionless and heartless life is it worth it? Both husband and wife live unhappiliy, fight ,argue endlessly, hold grudges, sulk, whine and that wld surely be transferred to other family members and mostly kids/parents. Somewhere it push either partner to look for love outside marriage and exrtra marital relns may spark off. Does all this benefit anyone? NO one living happily, is that what we want? Dont we live to make life less difficult for each other?

Wld like to know your perspective too😛

What an introspective ques u put forth!👏 I enjoy reading your responses and look fwd to your views. Do keep posting.
