1. I for one think that Suman thwarted Ramnath when she didn't take the money from him. What she is doing now is what she thinks is the best for everyone, she knows how much Ramnath means to Shravan so she's not trying to come in between them. I am liking Suman's character and how she's handling things but again to each his own. But the thing is that Sumo choosing Shravan over her family's happiness would bring about the same criticism, she's in a hard place and I think she's being a champ.
Life is never a black and white canvas! Is it? It's never about choosing one or the other! She could have very well balanced both sides! Kept her family happy and at the same time she didn't have to behave ridiculously with Shravan! That's as far as Sumo's characterization is concerned. However, as I said in my point...my main trouble is accepting the fact that women in Indian TV are always shown to sacrifice their love...subsequently followed by the female lead ignoring the male lead! Anything new in this? Is it too much for me to ask for something different?
2. The thing with ShraMan is that they're both head-strong and they need the push. Shravan is waiting for her to make a move and she won't because she's being held back by her promise to his father which he is unaware of. And I personally like jealousy tracks, again to each his own, I am not really looking for the show to re-invent the wheel, it is a show after all. And also, I am not even 100% sure how Aditya is going to be used so I am going to wait it out especially with Kamini hell bent on getting ShraMan together.
@bold: I guess you have a different set of expectations from the show! Therefore, I don't have much to say about this!
3. The status drama is so real, and I love how they're showing it in the show. Chachi isn't entirely wrong in where she is coming from, she had dreams about her son's marriage done according to the things she wants. People who have things expect certain things, it's not right to enforce their wants on other people, I agree but it's also not wrong for them to want certain things. Kamini's demands are horrid, but it's a harsh reality and it happens all the time. I love how they're showing Sumo handling it, she's not giving into demands but rather stating why they are wrong. Shravan works by the "keep the family together at any cost" mentality that Ramnath keeps preaching. And I feel like his behaviour is the product of wanting harmonious realtionship and the fact that he's literally grown up among the Tiwaris and considers them family. The show keeps highlighting that with little things, like how he's always the one that walks them out of the Malhotra house and the way he handled the Khosla case.
Shravan knows Kamini chachi does not want to keep the family together...he has heard that with his own two ears. Yet when Ramnath tells him about Kamini chachi's attempt at keeping the family together...he never gives anything a second thought?
Also since he knows the Tiwaris...he should know what they can and can't afford! More reasons to not press them about organizing fancy events!
4. Sumo is not going to talk to him because it will jeopardize his relationship with his dad which is important to him. She's seen what the Nirmala fiasco did and her mind right now is on Preeti's wedding and how to make that go off without a hitch because she feels that it is her responsibility after all that the family has done for her. I don't think she's showing that she hates him, she's just sticking up for herself and distancing him.
She absolutely wants him to hate her. She has been downright rude!
