Helloo!
I just wanted to share some thoughts on the recent track and the way things have been shaping up.
Any of you feel that this is Karma?
Let's recall the past...
Sumo in her childhood hurt Shravan, unintentionally. She was insensitive towards him and the problem he was going through. She didn't understand his pain, she didn't act as a true friend. She wasn't there when he needed her the most.
Shravan now is doing the exact same thing! He didn't know about this PCT thing. He didn't intentionally do this. He hurt her, but unintentionally. He has been insensitive towards the situation due to the blind faith in his dad. He doesn't understand her pain, he isn't acting as a true friend. He isn't by her side when she needs him the most.
What goes around really comes around doesn't it. It's like Shravan is in Sumo's place now, and in Shravan's words: "You don't understand the hurt until you go through it yourself" Well his own words have hit him hard this time. Because he is now going to understand how it feels to be hated for something you didn't mean to do. However, the damage has still been done, you can't take back the hurt, you can only heal it, fix it, and make up for it.
Can we just appreciate the intricacy of the parallels in this show?! It's not just misunderstanding Sumo over the Nirmala thing that has come around. It's not just misunderstanding someone for something they didn't intend to do that's come around. It's also their past that's come around! This track has a clear connection to their past. Sumo regretted over and over again for unintentionally hurting Shravan 10 years back, and now it's like Shravan's going to be doing the same. Also, the same way Shravan was left humiliated by Sumo 10 years back, Sumo was left humiliated by Shravan today. Both reacted in the heat of the moment, in the pressurization of those around them. And now they both will know what the other one felt, in the most true sense.
Also, there is DEF something fishy with Nirmala's sudden disappearance. She just left her mess like that? And such a big thing happened to Sumo and she isn't even there for her at this time? No scene of her nothing?
The letter thing too. I wasn't happy with the way Ramnath and Kamini read it. This letter was supposed to be a bittersweet memory of the two lovers, their little secret, it was precious. But it lost that value as soon as it got in the hands of a third person. However, I think it was to symbolize how Shravan's feelings were almost like that letter. They are valuable, they are precious, they are hidden from the world most of the time, but with chance they have always having been played around with, passed on and used.
In terms of Shravan being cold to Pushkar today, this in my eyes was an impulsive reaction because everyone is thinking he did this on purpose and is to be blamed. Its a very human reaction when you're blamed for something you didn't intend to do. You usually lash out in the wrong way. Because his eyes did speak the pain he was feeling for causing that mess for Sumo, but his impulsiveness to Pushkar's words made him come out rather more cold than he really is to the whole thing.
But anyways, this whole track is a result of cause and effect. Shravan IS actually wrong this time and clearly blinded by his father who brainwashed him for 10 years. He WILL regret. The tables have turned now. The same way Sumo was misunderstood for hurting him unintentionally, he will be misunderstood for hurting her unintentionally. What goes around comes around and that's exactly what's happening. Shravan is gunna have to do a lot more to gain her forgiveness now. The same way she had to in the past.
Which is also why I think they have held back Sumo's true heartfelt apology till now. Because I think this track is leading to some real deep realizations on both parts and the past will once again be recalled and in a much more sincere emotional way. When they finally confront each other, when all the misunderstandings are cleared, that's when their emotions will pour out. Both the love that they have/ have had for each other and their heartfelt apologies for everything. It will be a true confession of all past mistakes, wrongdoings and misunderstandings. It will be real. It will make their bond more permanent. And that's why I am willing to wait for that confession. And I really hope it's worth the wait. I really hope it's what I imagine it to be.
I know we are all upset with the current track but this track was needed for them to truly understand each other's wounds. They will come out much stronger from this.
