Hello guys..
Seeing the outburst on this forum based on the day before yesterday's episode telecast I came out of my silent viewer mode,made an id in IF and making this post.
Well,as my title suggest my thought differs from the majority.To start with I am non-viewer of Indian shows,a strict non-viewer.EKDV happened just by chance while surfing online.I started watching this show quite late, from the Khosla case I have been following,then taken break after maha milaap attempt of son and mother by our mahaan female lead,then again re-started watching lately(while making up for the episode skipped).
The reason for me making this post is I don't sympathize with Sumo like you all.I also feel the reason majority of the audience can feel for her more is because audience unlike Shravan knows the reason for her sudden changed in behavior,her monologues,her so called irrelevant sacrifices and her tears.We are hardly shown these things of Shravan.Actually we have never been shown the show from Shravan's POV.Just like the other shows this show is shown from a female's POV be it be Sumo or Nirmala.
Coming to day before yesterday's episode the only best part was Adi's dialogue to Shravan on taking help.I like he was straightforward in stating how wrongly she mixes help,support and a business offer.
I read someone mentioned Sumo gave up or was almost giving up her PCT for Shravan.Well,I don't think so because a)Had Shravan known this he would not have wanted b)Just for a difference in opinion you do not reject an offer,business is a place where you agree to disagree and still work collectively for a better things c)it was more of her stubborn behavior and her typical nature that ' I am always right ' attitude which comes out as a 'listen boss you don't agree with what I say,I am not going to work with you.'All these makes me think she can be anyone but a business person.There is no place of right and wrong in business.Its always about ethics.(And this I can say based on my 5 years work experience as a business lady in a male dominated industry)
It was not like Sumo do not want to work with Ravi Sinha because of his past experience.Sumo rejected him just because his opinion does not match with hers.She might have told she loves herself the most just like that but in real she really does.Right or wrong...no one can judge that.
Coming to the wedding preparation,her "I did my best " is really getting irritating.As Kamini rightly said her best may not be their best.This is not some school project where her doing best matters,this is a wedding where she has taken a responsibility not because of Malhotra family but because of her relation to Tiwari.She may be doing a favour on Tiwaris but definitely not on Malhotras.There is a clear difference between the 2 families and more than Kamini I would blame Pushkar for not able to convince his mother.
Kamini is definitely wrong in crossing her limits by demeaning Tiwaris, showing off her designers choice but she is hurt.She is hurt because her son and her family went against her wish.Her tears during Sangeet night and day before yesterday wasn't fake.Every one has their self respect and what keeps that self respect intact is different for different people.To her her social standards matters.And we can't ignore the fact that social status is not an important aspect,after all the Maslow's Hierarchy does states that.The concept of premium brands believes in social status. Shravan who may nor may not like her chachi but to him her tears matters just like what Tiwari family is for Suman.Whatever be Sumo's promise to Ramnath she need to understand fortunately or unfortunately wedding is one of the way(though not the only way) to show your family standard.And when they are ready to offer financial help to maintain their social standard there should be some consideration.
And what trust Suman was expecting when as per Shravan her so called childhood friend didn't trust their friendship and chose someone else's help over his.From his POV he can't think of any reason other than Suman's ego for rejecting his offer.(He does not know Suman's promise nor does he know Suman rejected Adi's offer too.Suman never made that clear infact CVs have shown Adi and Sumo together where Adi has himself told Shravan he is helping Sumo.)
There is just one confusion I don't know what CVs are upto by showing wedding as just a bride side expense where in real the expenses are either shared or one of the function like Sangeet is from groom's side and the wedding or reception is from bride's side and every decision from venue to everything are made collectively considering both the parties budget and standards.But seeing its a Indian TV show where female lead is always glorified at the cost of male lead(considering their target audience are mostly female and feminism in any way works) I won't question their ideas.
On the initial days I did like the character of Sumo but now no more I can connect to her.Shravan is too a flawed character but he is not completely wrong. I know my post will offend many and there may be many disagreements too.
PS: -In case there is any reply since I am a newbie my number of posts will be limited so I may not be able to reply to everyone.
