I think there're a lot of audience who're more easily able to sympathise and empathise with Shravan than with Sumo even when most of us forumians are girls... I think this is the fault of CV's in being unable to portray the feelings of the character Sumo which they actually thought of...
I've a promo which I came across last night...

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQtgXpIftUQ[/YOUTUBE]

Watching this I felt CV's failed to show us properly that Sumo is actually in love with Shravan. For many episodes until I think she read his letter it was like she's infatuated by him. This is the reason I think we felt odd when her letter popped out suddenly last week. But now I know that the latter wasn't an instant plot by CV's... they must be able to show to the world that she too loved him back from teenage itself and its the basic plotline...

Even now she must be as heartbroken as Shravan but we're able to perceive his pain more than hers. I think its long time that we start getting more monologues of her.

@Beagleboy,
I so wish I had such talent of yours in writing... thanks for adding flavor...

There were enough hints to show Sumo had feelings for Shravan. Right from the first episode till the party track and engagement. But they were all subtle.
It was clearly love for Sumo when she broke down when Shravan announced his engagement with PP.

Had her love been recent she would have found the strength to move on.

I do know that there're some scenes but on a whole we're able to connect with Shravan's pain better than Sumo's...

Couse the story is Shravans and the focus was on Sumo ditching him 10 yrs bk. The whole story is built from that point forward.

But at the moment both love each other... don't worry cvs will bring the balance sooner or later.

Is the story Shravan's? I thought its Sumo's... but just showed it from Shravan's POV

It is Shravans story from sumos perspective. Recently it's been from Shravans perspective since the adi track. Sumos mind voice is silenced. We are clueless as to what she is really going through but know every thing about Shravan.

We feel for shravan more coz of the young shravan... Shravan knew his feelings from the start itself were as sumo realized it in his absense.. They never showed the young sumo missing shravan...
Also unlike shravan sumo cannot create.a scene.. All she could do is cry inside her room...

I do think there is a lot that they have not done with Sumo's character as they have done with Shravan. This is because Shravan and his past have always been the focal point. They have focussed on certain other aspects of Sumo's character, but her emotions, subtle as there are always pale in comparison to Shravan's. This could be their personalities- They are as different as chalk and cheese.

But because of these differing personalities, each of them deals with love and heartbreak in different ways. Each of them has varied expectations from life and love. And each of them has a different kind of weight on their shoulders and they are and have been unhappy in different ways. As Tolstoy said 'Happy families are all alike. Unhappy families are unhappy in different ways' - this could apply to Sumo and Shravan as individuals.

Shravan may have lost a lot in life and yet has had a privileged upbringing. The way he deals with loss is different and possibly has something to do with the privileges he has enjoyed. Sumo too experienced a similar loss, possibly worse, but she has lived on the charity of others, financially and emotionally. And so, the way she has dealt with and deals with loss is different. She is more burdened by her loss and her past. Their individual baggages, though heavy, differ significantly in weight. If Shravan carries the world on his shoulders, poor Sumo has the universe upon her.

Their experiences have shaped them as individuals and having lived apart for so many years into adulthood, there is a lot each has to understand and appreciate about the other. They are like two strangers meeting in thick fog. They have to work together to clear it, and they can only do that by growing up a little to the understanding of what love truly means to them and to the other. They would each have to walk an extra mile to get to the centre where their world is in balance.

After all, true love is beyond just possessing. True love is about just being with each other, being happy for the other - NO MATTER WHAT. There is no self in true love. They have to stop looking within themselves and look outward at the each other.

I think it could be because Shravan is more reactive. He is not able to mask his feelings though he doesn't say it however we never see sumo shedding even a tear. We are used to melodrama😆. Sumo's love letter was reveled recently where as shravan s storey was known from and the recent scenes is all making it difficult to connect to sumos pain. Also she is having myriad of other problems too. Pct ,ramnath black mail ,so she is not able to focus on just the love part.
