@Monaco...nice post
But, just one comment. You have mentioned Adi as having been raised by Nirmala and Shravan as having been raised by his father. I would like to disagree on this point. Because the formative years of our life is before the age of 10. And here, Nirmala entered Ahuja household not before Adi was at least 15 years of age. Considering that even Sumo was in her high school...
Shravan is an outcome of both his parents...and the doubts and his insecurities stem from that particular event in school ten years back compounded with his mother leaving. Yet, a person who hates his mother nevertheless, does acknowledge Chachi in the role of a mother, Adi's invisible mother and ofc, he was the one who cleared Sumo's mother's name...
Sumo is a girl with a golden heart and she implicitly trusts everyone...but, at times this heart of hers does lead to problems ...The best quality of Sumo is that she can forgive even the basest of characters or persons who have meted out wrong to her...which also includes Shravan.
Aditya is a person who is using his circumstances at will...manipulating and twisting it to suit his purpose...Here, boundaries do not matter what matters is the end or the target...
