I personally think Suman wouldn't have anything to say to him now because she will finally realise her fault and the depth of Shravan's hurt. I think she will try to make amends now. At least I hope so!

Lovely post Sam. Great to read your posts after so long <3 Completely agree with you! I may not be on par with the way he showed her, her mistakes but I totally understand what he is going through and as you said, he has never been able to move on and never will. Waiting to see what happens tomorrow.


I post here everyday! I am the most vella person of this forum..practically online all day & spamming in the AT... HAHA.
But glad to see you here🤗
I had no idea you watched this show as well. Looking forward to reading your thoughts everyday from now on!

I completely agree with everything you said.
I just want to add one point - I believe its not so much a question of wrong & right here. This show is actually tackling a very sensitive issue that is often ignored. Scars from our childhood often haunt us all our lives, either in the form of psychological issues or they sting our heart all our lives. And sadly a lot of time, all this is ignored in the name of 'he or she is just a kid'. Yes, just a kid, but then kids are also perceptive. They are growing, learning more about the world & making their own conclusions based on things they see. Shravan was hurt by his mother & by Suman. It was never addressed. He was sent away to study in London, all alone. He had no one to talk to him, to guide him out of this pain. And so it kept growing to the point that now its almost as much a part of him as blood is a part of our system & body.

Now he's back, all successful & his lawyer brain tells him that its time to get over this hurt & the way is by revenge - an eye for an eye. But soon he'll realise (and that is also the point of the show) that 'an eye for an eye will only make the world blind & that is no solution. These two need to sit down, talk about whatever that happened, share & that's the first step to healing & either having a new beginning or moving on.

I agree absolutely that childhood scars run deep. The impressions, scars. opinions we build as children follow us well into adulthood. Some of them are easily dismissed as false and some stay. Childhood hurt however may pale with time but is always there. How often have we, after having achieved much in life, fantasised about meeting a person of the past who may have ridiculed us or broken our hearts?I know I have. Karma can be a bitch and it is bittersweet when that stares and cuts your opponent down in height. But that is a private moment. Not a public one. You know it and your opponent knows it, but the whole world does not need to know it because it is irrelevant to the rest of the world.
I also feel here that it is as much Shravan's fault for having not stopped Sumo even once when she treated him like so. Why didn't he tell her that it was not ok with him, and if she continued, why didn't he stop building on that friendship then? Why now, after 10 years, does he want to settle scores when time has passed and people have changed? The context is all wrong here. Because everyone is different.
Where the question of success is concerned, in my eyes Suman is the more successful of the two. She set up a business on her own with little help from people around her. She is self established and independent. He went to england because his father paid for him to go through to college, Oxford at that, and he established himself on the basis of his good academics and fathers backing. So, in my eyes, the two are equal at the very least. And he was wealthy back then too. So, his wealth could not have caused a change in her. His constant reference to his good looks (uff how off putting, I mean I can't deal with a man who wants more mirror time than I do!), however shows his insecurity still. Anyway - ciao and Bonasera!

@Bold: Ditto. I second you on that and I've wondered about how he was reluctant in cutting ties with her instead of taking on the immature humiliation by Suman head on, only to lick on his wounds in private. But he was in love with Suman, and he enjoyed being in her company, hence those things didn't matter much. He was maybe hoping that some day, she might reciprocate his feelings towards her. The onus was on him to move on, and he really can't blame Suman for his unrequited love

That's exactly why ever since the public humiliation spoiler came out, I have been struggling to reconcile with it, because it completely goes against Shravan's character. Being a decorated lawyer with the gift of the gab, resorting to such petty out-of-context dramatics in public is unfathomable.

Hi,
Feeling that Shravan is right in taking revenge is a valid. I agree that he was very very hurt...

But I think we should consider the age...she was just a teenage when she did ignored him...which teenagers usually do...image and other things do come first for teenagers...

What his age is when he is actually taking his revenge...he called her gold digger and like any other girl who wants his money and wanted to be with him...she just wanted his friendship...she called him her friend...

i really felt for her...she wanted her friend...somewhere i felt she was the same girl who lost her friend 10 years ago

...i really feel for her...how everyone treats her...and today her friend also insulted her in front of everyone...😭

Jazzy, that's where I share the opposite view regarding the public humiliation. I don't think it was out of character, esp since he's had a total image makeover. And together with that makeover, he also has an inflated sense of ego, which he didn't have 10 years ago. Even though his core is the same, he's learned to listen to his head rather than his heart. Don't view him as teenage Shravan. View him as adult Shravan. And for adult Shravan, an eye for an eye is his way of moving on & getting even, though of course soon he will realise that ultimately teenage Shravan still resides in him & that humiliation did not make him feel any better.

This is unpopular opinion but what Shravan did today was beyond ridiculous..I cant think of one reason why he was justified in behaving like a jerk..Suman was horrible to him as a teen..Accepted..She refused to acknowledge him at school..Accepted..Something much worse probably happened..Again accepted..So? It gives him the right to insult her in public? He can ignore her, not want to keep any relationship with her, hate her guts- all that is perfectly justified..But what he did today was plain psychotic 😆 I mean he is actually avenging something which happened 10 years back..When they were teens 😆 A lot of us are immature at school yet once we grow up, we tend to mature and move on..Even if you cannot forgive, you don go about planning revenge and public humiliation..The fact that he put in so much effort to take revenge- inviting her bestie, booing her tickets etc. just to prove a point is scary to say the lease..He behaved like a love sick puppy in the past..He should have blasted her..Instead he let her walk all over him and now 10 years later, he is avenging it..Wow😆 Being insulted, called an opportunist, gold digger etc. in front of your whole school, your best friends etc. can be pretty scarring..They might go on to become besties or even marry each other in future but not sure how such effed up behavior is justifiable 😆

Great post... Love to read ur posts...:)

Todays episode was all about Shravan's repressed feelings...this party was his first chance to ventilate his emotions out..! He was humiliated by Somu when they were young, post which he left for London & all she did was run behind the car, calling his name out??? She never tried to get in touch with him in the past 10 years when all he had been doing was waiting for her to reach out and also trying to move on and forget her at the same time. Shravan was all set to head back to London and Sumo provoked him, called him a coward for running away... Whereas, she had been that kind of a friend who thought that her image would be affected if anyone saw her with him!! Yup I know it was 10 yrs back.. But these are his childhood repressed feelings that he's suffocating in...and at the party he decided to pay her back in her own coin! Tit for tat! He loves her but deep down he wants her to go through the same pain he went through.

In the past Sumo never wanted to be associated with him & he's doing the same thing to her.. And Sumo needs to slow down n control her emotions... She's going gaga over him too fast!!!...After what she's done, she should've known that her relationship with Shravan is not gonna be the same.

Their relationship will move forward only when they have evened out their past. And I think there's more history to them!

Very nice post.
I would say it was more tit for tat then eye for an eye.

Shravan all his young life had issues. He was the guy who did not have friends, was not cool, was not friendly and most important was the guy who was nerd. The nerd whose life was boring as he was seen with books.

Even today he is not that friendly a person. He is trying to be what Suman wanted him to be. Else why would have he forgotten his date with Ms Delhi. For sure with age he has known to manipulate the situation yet at the back of the mind he is still the adolescent who was betrayed by Suman at the prom night. He is trying to be prince charming because that was the reason why he was betrayed by Suman.

Suman is his first love or may be the only love and has not forgotten her. He remembers each and every details even after 10 years. So he is just trying to show her how hurt he was or how much it hurts when people are two faced.

The only difference here to me that when Suman insulted him she told him that she will not go with him in prom. She was upfront and she never manipulated him even though she was young she was mature enough to not hurt him. Although it was the act on verge of snob behaviour it can be counted as the mistake that many teenagers make.

Whereas Shravan on other hand who is matured, successful lawyer repeating the scene is the act of manipulation. He manipulated her to the extent of no return. Behind that successful man is still that young man who had issues with self esteem and is still a nerd.

Exactly!
10 years is a long time. They say time heals wounds.
Even if he was still smarting over what happened(He has full right to), I don't think it is justified that he planned so much in detail to show her what he felt.
He can just shout at her. Tell her she was wrong but there was no need for a demonstration. That is just messed up.
Seriously messed up, the way he went about it. Being charming, caring and what not.

Honestly the one thing i loved about their first meeting was that it was so normal..He wasn't mean to her..Nor did he bother to start a conversation..He looked through her cos he was hurt..Which is totally fine..Probably how a lot of us would have reacted to..But no, they had to go ahead with this effed up plan and make it dramatic 😆
