For me the fairy-tale ended when Suman was about to jump off the terrace. That scene sort of indicated that this story is mostly about Shravan and his issues... and Suman will be the one bearing the brunt of it. And for me, that's mostly how the story sort of seems to be going on...

Didn't realise we were going Anti- Shravan so strongly now.😆

Shravan is ambitious..he is also very confident- deservedly so.

And his dream had been to start something to help poor people with their cases...Money is not important for him. He'll do that when the time comes.

His assessment of Sumo- Shravan has many times deeply appreciated her dedication to her work..Just that when he goes blind, he likes to coat it as something else...He let Ramnath cloud his judgement.

It happens with a lot of relationships, not necessarily a romantic one.

I am not talking about betrayal per se, but at one point in time you realise that is all there is to it...that no one would come to save you...least of all the person who was most important to you.

To Shravan, that happened when his mother left. He had not believed his dad at first...he had fought him...but then came the time when he realised she was gone for good. There was no point expecting anything from her anymore. He let go.

Every time Shravan betrays her trust in the goodness in him, I feel this is it for Suman- the last straw. But she keeps hoping again and again. Yesterday, I wondered again if this was the last lap- the point where Suman would say, my fairy tale is over...It had got drenched, dirty, torn..still I had hoped I could salvage it. But today..I know it is BEYOND ME...It is not in my hands anymore...I have to let go, knowing it'd never come back..The fairy tale was never ever meant to be...

When did your fairy tale end wrt this show?😳 I can imagine some stern responses to this, criticising the writers...😆...I mean, within the framework of this show when you lost hope in one of the leads...

After yesterday's episode I could only sigh to myself...When did I stop believing in Shravan? He was so impossible..I knew he'd get down to just this...He needs clinical help (A fact oft repeated by many in the forum)..

But when did I know this guy wouldn't be a knight in shining armour for Suman?

It was nothing that happened between Shraman actually. Or the misogyny or the stubbornness or the attitude.

It had been way back in the Ramnath death scare when I saw how he responded...

I had been shocked and actually felt betrayed that he could be so weak. He was a cripple without Ramnath...That was an instance where they actually got a doctor for him.

It had been a significant insight into his character.

From there on, I stopped looking for a hero in Shravan and saw him as an emotionally unstable kid who'd need a rock beside him.

Sumo would be that rock.

You know what I love most about this show now?

The fact that he has pushed that ROCK AWAY...I am happy for him - genuinely happy.

Because this is where Shravan's growth begins. He i snot a cripple. He will learn to walk on his own and be a rock to Suman when she needs him. She wouldn't have to be a crutch anymore!

👏

For that, I thank the writers! 😳

@Chick - you are an absolute and complete romantic aren't you? Not purely in the sense of being romantically inclined, but in always adding a bright dimension to everything.

In my opinion, Suman never really had a fairy tale to being with. The question is, Will she have a fairy tale ending? She has had a weathered life - struck by one storm after the other. And though she received a shelter, a loving home, the love came in the form of a loan - a debt to be repaid. From the very start, her path has been fettered with stones and road blocks. If Shravan lost his mother, Suman lost both mother and father to the land of no return. Her moods, her reactions, her constant vacillating between Suman and Sumo, are all a product of storms that have ravaged her young life. So, life has not been the kindest to her, there is no fairy tale here that she is well acquainted with.

Shravan, in contrast to Suman, has had it easy. His mothers desertion notwithstanding, he went to London, had a fabulous education, does not have to work his rear off to pay of debts or set up a business, is heir to a successful law practice and has one parent, who despite his faults, will always be there for him, who he can turn to when the world plays foul. If you pay attention, Suman sadly has none of this, and yet, she is a more positive person and always ever so willing to give a person a good chance to explain their stance and ever ready to forgive.

Contrary to many assumptions, Shravan has always lived a fairy tale. And his love also belongs to a fairy tale as does his friendship. Things are black and white. He loves and expects to be loved in return. He is rich and so he expects Suman to accept his help. He rejects anything that does not fit into his neat fairytale. He is like a loan shark or Sherlock, who expects a pound of flesh for anything he gives - rather harsh? But it is true. There is no unwritten rule anywhere that love has to be reciprocated and friends should show their loyalty by yielding to/complying with demands. Suman is not responsible for his wild conjuring. His life is filled with expectations, his LOVE is filled with expectations. He has become bitter because he thinks his life, the fairy tale, has failed him.

Shravan's fairy tale fails him, and ends, EVERYTIME, something or someone does not yield. He is a spoilt rich brat who has not seen a hard life and yet thinks that he bears a huge weight upon his back, who sulks and complains about not having the right pair of shoes when the woman he professes to love is (and has been) barefoot all her life.

Yet, he does have, or had, several redeeming qualities - his consummate, unmitigated devotion and love for Sumo - the one thing - in his life that is pure, unconditional, their friendship (which is like the first snow drop on dry ground). My fairy tale ended when I stopped counting on these qualities to compel me to watch - The minute Shravan shed his old self and turned to someone new, or perhaps even before that.

Sharvan's fairy tale will end one final time (with no avenues open for resurrection), when Suman leaves him - barefoot and with the weight upon his shoulders, and a few people he can call his own on whom he can place his trust.
