When Shravan said that he had moved on, I was so surprised because that is a very real and modern concept in Indian television. It's something that I can completely relate to - I mean many of us can relate to the idea of unrequitted love and how we learn to diffuse and accept it over time.
I remember the time I liked someone but knew deep down that they didn't feel that way about me. I remember looking at that memory as I got older, and caring less about the situation - telling myself that I was young and foolish. It's a very real and relatable experience.
Sometimes things don't work out - it's not like we all become Devdas and cry about it everyday đ
We move on, because that is how humans cope.
We eventually teach ourselves to go forward and see that same person differently.
One thing that I always felt dissapointed about when it comes to drama serials and their depiction of love, is how superficial it can be.
In most of the dramas I've seen, love has been like a light switch - it's either turned on or turned off.
You're either in love or not in love.
On EDKV, it's so refreshing to see that Shravan's past emotions have transformed over time. It just goes to show that, in real life, love doesn't have to be this romeo and juliet concept. in real life, we can feel differently for someone over time - we still may be "in love" but that love can vary in intensity or form. And one major aspect that the show has touched upon is that love is confusing - sometime we know, sometimes we're not sure, sometimes we rush and sometimes we just don't want to think about it.
I really applaud this show - I hope they keep surprising me like the way they did today đđł
