Dear Friends,
An analysis from me again 😛 . Fair warning - It is really long ! Do read and leave your comments !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a stormy night when his son told him what he had known all along, that he was in love with the girl who knew his dirty secret. And the next morning Ramnath Malhotra made a plan and waited for an opportunity. He executed it perfectly as well. No direct involvement, emotional blackmail and manipulation, divide and rule and it worked. Little did Ramnath know what the impact of his manipulation would be on his son, who had been away from him for 10 years,unfortunately for him,his plan worked too well. He had successfully created a monster in his own home, he fed it with his own perceptions and judgements and today the monster is out of his control.
As if it wasn't enough, his wife was back in the picture and Ramnath stands helpless, for once facing the consequences of his actions. There is no end to his plight. He is in a loss-loss situation. Either lose Shravan by letting him be what he is or lose him by telling the truth. A big flaw in his perfect plan.
"We turn the Cube and it twists us." - Erno Rubik
And we do know the relationship between Shravan Malhotra and his cube. So Ramnath turned his son and he is now twisted,actions and consequnces !
So when we talk about consequences, we have to of course talk about Sumo. Never have we seen her retrospect.Be it walking into Ramnath's room asking him to "make up" with his ex-wife or barging into a meeting in Shravan's office or standing on a ledge, even making Shravan meet his mother, she never thinks about what happens "after" and she hasn't changed at all.Accepting PCT from Adithya was one such decision and look at the consequences ! She is forced, not physically but emotionally by the very people who claim to be her family. She just walked in after an argument with her best friend who told her that no one wants her and she hears exactly the same thing from her Maami. For a girl who was orphaned at a very young age, who grew up in a house as an unwanted person, it is the last nail on the coffin. Sumo the fighter lays buried now under the debts of her own family.
She trusted and trusted. She considered Shravan her very own, we never see her argue with anyone else the way she does with him, she took him for granted, he was the only one who was hers but she has finally lost, given up. My heart goes out to Sumo. How long can you live in a house where they don't want you, where you are a burden ? So she decides again without thinking about what she is doing when she decides to consent for the marriage in 5 days, it hasn't occured to her that she will have to leave behind her PCT and move, even if it has occurred to her, she hasn't realized the impact yet.She hasn't realized that Shravan will not be there. Her Shravan was not this Shravan anyway.
That is Sumo, too trusting, too naive, too straight forward and too forgiving.
The new Shravan Malhotra is just the opposite of Sumo, insecure, skeptical,indirect and unforgiving. What a portrayal of a abandoned child ! A child whose mother didn't consider him worthy to even call in 10 years. A child whose mother had found a replacement and whose best friend had denied him when he was most in need. 10 years of anger,10 years of reliving every single moment he spent with her and 10 years of waiting had changed him,unfortunately for the worse, but and its a big "but" his love for Sumo hadn't changed, it probably never will.
I was totally amused by the ShraMan conversation in yesterday's episode.
"You are not so important that I would decide to get married just to hurt you" meaning
"You know how important you are to me, but I am having to do this because I don't have a choice"
"No one wants you" meaning "I dare anyone to want you the way I do"
How he taunts her, how he insults her and yet he loves her over all that. If there is as much as a tremble in her voice, the old Shravan will be back,probably faster than Usain Bolt. That is what most of us are banking on.
And the person who gives her grief will not be spared. And Adithya is doing just that. While Sumo wrote Shravan's name on the mehndi herself, we already have Adithya trying to mark her as his. He will leave no stone unturned in trying to find about them, but what then ? That is the question I am afraid to answer.
The story is at a point where no path is a happy path.
An forced/love hate ShraMan marriage ? Too cliche.
A AdiMan marriage and then a divorce and remarriage ? Too long a path for reunion and not to forget a direct impact on the TRP.
A no marriage track - The scope for family drama is very less
I have a feeling that Ramnath will do something. That destiny will come into play and he knows that there is only Sumo's love can thaw Shravan's frozen heart. More importantly it will help him retain the image of a perfect father who will do anything for his son's happiness and at the same time his secret will remain a secret because Sumo will be indebted to him as well and Shravan will be Shravan again. I only hope he is not too late and not to mention it was his plan that failed.
But it is about time we admit that we have a Adiman marriage around the corner and prepare ourselves for the worst and cry with ShraMan and sing with them
"Jaane Woh Kaise Log The Jinke Pyaar Ko Pyaar Mila
Humne To Jab Kaliyan Mangin To Kaanton Ka Haar Mila
Khushion Ki Manzil Dhundi To Gham Ki Gard Mili
Chahat Ke Naghme Chahe To Sard Aanheen Mili
Dil Ke Bojh Ko Dhundlaa Kar Gya Jo Ghumkhawar Mila
Hum Ne To Jab Khushiyan Mangi Kaanton Ka Haar Mila
Bichad Gya Har Sath De Kar Pal Do Pal Ka Saath
Kisse Fursat Hai Jo Thame Dewaanon Ka Haath
Humein To Apna Saaya Aksaar Bezaar Mila
Hum Ne To Jab Khushiyan Mangi Kaanton Ka Haar Mila
Isko Hi Jeena Kehte Hain To Yun Hi Jee Lenge
Uff Na Karenge Lab Si Lenge Aansu Pi Lenge
Gham Se Ghabrana Kaisa Gham Sau Baar Mila
Hum Ne To Jab Khushiyan Mangi Kaanton Ka Haar Mila"
Thank you for reading ! All views welcome !
P.S : I am not trying to say that Adithya Suman marriage will happen, I am merely saying we should enjoy the ride and feel ShraMan's pain as thats where the story stands today.
