Okay so not gonna lie, today's episode was kinda painful to watch. I love that we're getting to see the many different shades of Shravan but it's really hard seeing him act so sexist.
But truly, today's star wasn't even Shravan for me. Today was all about Suman and her amazinggg characterization.
I thought it was really interesting how in the beginning with the Preeta situation, Suman talks about how important her self respect is and yet, when Shravan is bashing on her as a cook and basically telling her she's a crappy chef compared to a man, she bears the brunt of his insult for HIS sake.
If this isn't love then what is? For Sumo, her self respect and her passion for cooking are above all else and it's amazing that she would rather let Shravan insult her livelihood than cause him more pain by making him realize that it's his mother's recipe made by Sumon.
I feel like a lot of people are really quick to judge Sumo and label her as childish (and trust me that bursting into the office thing was very childish) but at the same time, it's obvious through her actions how deeply she cares for Shravan.
As for Shravan... 😕
I know that it's important for the writers to show this angsty side of Shravan and highlight his frustration with women, but at the same time I find it really annoying how inconsistent his sexism is.
I mean, in the beginning, when he got mad at Sumo, he didn't bring up things like "women suck and men are great" and now he is? I know that his problems with women have existed from the beginning but it doesn't seem like Shravan to say more crap about women even after Sumo has apologized.
Also his line "you're a woman too right?" frustrated me because in the end, no matter how angry Shravan is with Sumo, he could have at least hesitated a little before admitting that he thinks she is also selfish. If not for anything then at least for the sake of their friendship 😭
All I can say is hats off to Namik for allowing us to both hate and love Shravan at the same time.
