I think the question is not if she loves him or if he loves her. Sigh! Matters of the heart are much too complex to simplify them so. Matters of the heart are deep, closed to rationality and logic, and inhabit an alternate relm, where few are courageous to tread. And so a person in love is not always rational. Is Shravan irrational when he expects that Suman waits for him (despite having broken ties with her)? Absolutely so. Is he irrational if he expects Suman to turn down Aditya (personally and professionally) on account of his friendship and unspoken love? Undoubtedly yes! But does he love her still? Unequivocally yes.

There is a rift between Shravan's body/mind and soul. His body (and his mind) bear the signs of defeat, exhaution and an inexplicable rage. His soul still stirs to the lingering fragrance of his love, so deeply entrenched that everytime he sees her, it causes his heart to pound madly and loudly like the hooves of horses galloping into vast outstretched lands. But sadly, reason and rage at being wronged take over at the best of times. He is after all a man in the grip of a destructive passion, an all consuming love. And such a man, will go on the path of destruction even if his soul pleads with him that he will get only agony from his chosen path. And with each step he takes down this path, he knows that more agony and sorrow awaits, and yet he proceeds - such is his suffering, confusion that he walks on ahead knowing he is approaching his end.

And so yes, love does exist in great measures between the two of them - A love that in good times shines through, overpowering other sources of light until nothing else remains. But equally, a love so dark that when the blanket of bad times settles upon them, it is like a lamp that when lit spreads a grey dull smoke that smothers them. The story as I see it is how they overcome this smoke and let the light through. And only their strength of character will help them and guide them.

But - does that mean that Sumo should be bound by Shravan's demons? No. Absolutely not. Each person will have to fight their own demons and walk towards truth. Love is pure and Suman cannot let the grey smoke envelope and smother her. Love is also about letting your beloved grow in the warmth and light of its presence. What Shravan is trying to do is encapsulate Suman in his love, passionate as it is, but there is not room for grown. Love is also freedom. Freedom to be the girl that he loves and not the woman he wants her to be.




Beautifully written Beagle.

Submissive women and oppressive men.

This is most Indian shows pet theme. Sumo and Shravans character arc will also be based on this Indian universal theme!

Men hurt, women cry, trp machine rings.

Hope the cvs dishout something different this time.

@poppins- given that a large portion of the audience are women, if such storylines bring in the numbers, I wonder what kind demographic these women encompass - Do so many women lead oppressed lives, are so many Indian men and women regressive in their thinking? Do they get their pleasure looking at other women being repressed, tortured and unhappy? Or do they consider these situations/portrayals of women an accepted norm/the epitome of a true woman? A lot of the audience are lower and upper middle class women who have had some education in their lives. If this is true, sadly, Indian society does have a long walk before it can be known as an open and accepting society.
