Hey guys,

So a lot has already been discussed about today's episode... Here's my 2 cents... Just what I feel..

Firstly, I was kinda sad with today's episode.. With the way my favourite character turned out.. I did expect Shravan to fall from his pedestal but this was a bit too much to digest ..
But this is one show where the hero isn't white neither is the heroine.. Everyone has shades of grey... Nobody is a saint n that is the beauty of it... Coz it's real n it's raw. Coz it's human.
Shravan's patience was wearing out n he had enough of taunts n instigation.. Nirmala should not have turned up defending Aditya when she had no clue what was going on.. As for Aditya, he was already asking for it since a long time now... Shravan's threshold of tolerance crossed n this is what came out... Erupted shall I say..
Shravan was ruthless today, totally badass.. He gave back to all the instigation with interest.. Do I approve of his method, No. Do I understand where he is coming from, Yes.
I agree Shravan was very wrong in the way he explicitly said those stuff.. He demeaned his friendship with Sumo, something that he has treasured always.. This was his worst, he unleashed the beast.. But that was some sass there... He did it with such a swag.. The badass Shravan is hot n sassy..
Here I admit that I loved how chomu didn't even realize what shit hit him... His shocked face made me do a happy dance... Don't instigate a man so much that the person shits on your face n you don't even get the time to realize when the shit hit the roof...
Even after all this I don't mean at all that Shravan was not wrong.. He was n believe me it hurts to see your hero fall.. But this was his worst.. And it's over.. Tomorrow is a new day... A fresh beginning.. Shravan will start his journey towards redemption from tomorrow... For a man like Shravan who is honourable, facing himself after the Suman incident with chomu is going to be hell in itself... From there on the repentance n rectification would begin..
The night is darkest just before dawn... So today is the darkest hour n tomorrow the new dawn beckons...
Just hang in there guys... Peace...

Edited:-
Just a clarification... In case I came out wrong..
~For a man like Shravan who is honourable, facing himself after the Suman incident with chomu is going to be hell in itself...~

I don't mean Shravan would /should be guilty for the Aditya incident... The physical assault.. Absolutely not.. He in no way is responsible for it. Whatever a person says cannot in any which way bring about such a thing.. It was all Aditya's doing n he cant crib saying Shravan instigated him. It's plain mindless..
What I meant was Shravan would feel remorse.. For his words.. N for that he should apologize.. Not for any XYZ...

Love
Roshni

Rosh ! Me first, I just finished watching the episode.

The scene when Suman smiles and immediately Adithya sees that Shravan is in the room. All three of them changed their expressions in an instant, very well done Namik,Nikki and Ronit. Then when Shravan has to go to Sumo's room to put the gifts there, we can see that he is clearly pained, as if the name on the mehendi was not enough.
I wish there had been a mini flashback of the scene where Shravan had seen the "S" on Sumo's hand. Would have been a nice touch, cliched but I missed it. The way he looks at the photo. He is shocked that Sumo still has the photo and it is where everyone else can see it even after everything Shravan said and did. He took that one minute, did you see him lower his head. I bet there were tears in his eyes which we couldn't see.

Nirmala mata I have never been able to understand. I don't know if it is her characterization or the limited abilities of my mind. But, did she have to do that and did she have to do that even after he asks what is my fault. This is the nearest Shravan has been to opening up. He actually asked her for an explanation and she refuses to understand him, worse still she is asking him for something he cannot give. For once, she could have said, I am sorry, I want to explain but no, no way. Infact Shravan uses the word "bheek maangna". Did she do this when Ramnath threatened her when she asked for Shravan's custody ? Why does she chose to do it ? Where do her loyalties lie ? Is this the media portrayal of an independant woman ? It sucks big time.

Adithya Shravan scenes are always a treat to watch, an acting contest really.
That too with Nirmala standing over there. It was kind of funny when Adithya said "I don't understand what you are trying to say". Exactly ! Adithya you have no idea, he has no idea what anyone is be it Nirmala, Shravan or Sumo.

Anyways, the party and the much talked about dialogue. Shravan is an adult and he is accountable for his actions. People can say what they want but how one responds is upto us. And always, we should respond and not react. Shravan Malhotra sat on a wall and Shravan Malhotra had a great fall. He is wrong, period. But this is his reaction. The response will come later and it is going to be a dark road ahead for him towards light.
This is his lowest and he can only rise from here. The tide will turn.
Adithya.. Adithya... I felt bad for him, they couldn't get him to break a mirror, teek hai, bottle hi sahi.
It would be unfair not to mention Nikki's performance, subtle, understated and elegant.

It is terrible that so many of us are fighing Sumo-Shravan wars again. Why ? Why fight about who is more at fault ? I don't know what difference it makes.

So Rosh, now that I have typed for half a page, all I want to actually say is that I agree with you as usual 🤗

Cheers !

Roshni!
Take a bow 👏
I agree with you completely ..

He may be wrong but take a few steps back and see why?
This isn't him in his truest form, this is the guy that comes in when his heart is burning...
That's exactly what was happening today...
He just very calmly took aditya's ego and crushed it..
No not the throw on the ground crush with your foot crush, the throw from everest and crushed under sea bed kind of crush.

Do I stand by him? Yes! Cause this is the first real time he stood up selfishly for himself. He's not wrong being selfish, when no one else gives a damn why should he?

All that said, I know him, he will regret it soon enough and make amends too, cause that's the real him. The guy who not matter how treated will still put himself last..

Enough said!
Brilliant post!

To see sanskari shravan talk like this is not something we were prepared for.
But then... He did it out of frustration.
While words uttered cannot be swallowed or nothing justifies this behavior... we could see Nirmala's so called motherly advice, being one of the trigger points.

In this show what I like is both the leads are shown as normal human beings...with flaws..
They are not perfect.

:Lets see how shravan redeems himself

Liek i've said on another post, shravan should not have said that! He is going to regret it so much! He did demean his and sumo's friendship. But he was driven to tthis extent by nirmala and adi! Nirmala turns him into this stone cold monster.

today was mixed bag for me ..
i saw Shravan debating his decision while getting ready , but Nirmala's words gave him rage to go ahead ..

he lied , and won his ego war but destroyed his pure friendship .. that was truly sad ..

yeah.. No one is a saint .. everyone falters, make bad choices .. and shravan is a damaged soul .. who felt like a loser and wanted to other feel as badly as he did .. but . ..

Adi if u dont trust ur would be wife then dont get married bro ... no one is forcing u .. if u believe the guy who openly hates u then u r the bigger fool .. but his shocked face was a treat to see .. 😈 ..

Agree mostly...but you know Shravan has said a lot of unwanted things (especially about women) in the past! Previously when he uttered those radical statements...there was no underlying good intention...today...he said what he said...first to do what Nirmala had demanded him not to do...second to destroy Adi...and third...to break Adi and Sumo's relationship...coz he knows she isn't happy with it!

I am not saying what he did was the best way to approach this issue...but did he mean to tarnish Sumo's image? Nope...not at all! In fact, he wanted to get her out of this mess! Yes his words will cause Sumo some temporary pain...but in the long run...we all know things will work out for the best!

So a question...I guess people are upset because he lied about their relationship? Is that right?

Yep.. Mostly.. He tarnished the purity of his long standing friendship..
That is the reason people are upset... I was too... But then I relaxed n thought a little...

Well im not justifying Shravan's action but whatever he did that was forced by Mom-son,shravan is human after all how long he'l avoid all this- Suman's tear,Aditya's irritating behavior etc etc,
nirmala's request was last nail &Shravan Paid with Interest.
agree he demeaned their Friendship
but he'll walk extra mile to repay /rectify his mistake ..probably we'll C Sumo Back after wedding (if happens) /revolution (credit goes to aditya) and nikita was saying something like that in Twitter /live chat..

Now coming to aditya his mind was already thinking same way thats why without second thought he believed it So he deserve those Kicks etc. etc.
In that Case suman should reject both one who don't trust her but some one who hates him and the one who don't care Women's respect in revenge theory.
