See, the way I see it, two wrongs don't make a right. What Suman did in the past was wrong and what Shravan does in the present is wrong. One wrong does not 'right' the other and there can be no excuses.

Shravan makes valid points, why did she not contact him in the past? He does not know she has lived with guilt over the last 10 years and possibly lacked the courage. He cannot know that she has changed and how she has changed. And he cannot see that she will reject him once more, for he is not the person she loves.

What he did today was to take from Suman everything she has held dear in her youth and no one in that room will see her without remembering this humiliation. The old Sumo may have been devastated at having lost her image, the Suman of today will only feel bad about spending her time nursing a friendship and a friend long dead. That is the only regret she will have and so talking of moving on, she can truly move on now.

But sadly, Shravan, will be left standing where he found himself 10 years ago and where he finds himself now.

Suman insulted him in public back then so why can't he do that now?

Regarding the gold digger bit, I don't think Shravan said that bit out of revenge per se, though the intent was there. It came out more because of the disconnect they share. 10 years ago, they ended off on the note of heartbreak with geeky Shravan & bindaas Sumo. 10 years later, they're trying to start off on the note of 'hum bahut acche friends hai' with stud Shravan & pretty Sumo. It obviously won't work.

These two need to re-start on the note of bitterness again, then sort out those bitter feelings, then gradually move towards friendship & more for it to work out. They need to sit down, talk about whatever that happened, share & that's the first step to healing.

Hmm... I actually thought it was presented very well, without actually going overboard, something which I was fearing. So thank you CVs. Objectively, if someone constantly ignores you in school but meets you on the sly & even there the person passes snide comments on the way you are..and then you meet that person after 10 years & you've turned into a stud & that person is suddenly trying to be all friendly..what would you make out of it? Anyone would think the way Shravan thought. And this scene was so real, because it brought out the disconnect these 10 years have brought to their relationship. Even if they were to make up in the future, things would never be the same as they were 10 years ago.

Also, he didn't return with revenge on his mind. So he would have gone on with his life, had she not provoked him & gave him a chance to say his piece. I personally think it is convenient for all of us to blame Shravan at the moment because we don't know the full picture yet. Whatever we've seen of their past is not the complete picture & it is no mystery that something even worse happened that caused him so much anguish, & pain. So I don't think that whatever he did was any more than what he went through. I don't personally believe in an eye for an eye but it is very natural for people to hold on to grudges, that too from a young age if it is not addressed. And the pain Shravan received from his mother & Suman were never addressed, thus that pain made a house in his heart & continues to sting him till today. Having become a smart lawyer, he thinks that the way to get it out is to get even, but soon he'll realise that getting even is no solution.

Phew, that was a long reply! I can't believe I am saying this but I am on Shravan's side today.

I normally agree with everything you have to say but an eye for an eye would leave the entire world blind ! I hope Sumo gives him a good verbal response and ends this cycle!
