When did this happen ? did i miss something ? I couldn't figure Indira getting attracted to Sumer in today's episode.
These are serous criticism for Indu for no reason... I don't think even Sumer is attracted at this moment to Indu.. so where this sexual attraction crop up from ?

No one, least of I want to be disappointed with Indira, least of all level serious unwarranted criticism. Why would we, who have been so emotionally invested in her (despite her flaws, like Rishi), want to trash her?
Now to your points
Sumer is attracted to Indira. That is why we had that atrocious song playing in his head yesterday, not once but twice when Indira or marraige with sharma girls was being talked about. That is why we had that wonderful eyelock and shoulder brushing when he left the house and left Indira to her teaching and lecturing. That is why we are seeing this man mutter "he is a brahmachari" multiple times, as if to remind himself.
That is why we had that silly little attraction dance played in the barsaati when they were developing photos. This dance was classic attraction dance.
Now Sumer is a sexual animal (brahmachari or not). CVs have been pretty blunt with that message, since day one.
Now to Indira
Experiencing attraction to another male, especially sexual attraction, is no crime, married or not! This is a physical reaction, driven by body chemicals. It does not make anyone characterless. contrary - it makes you human.
That Indira is experiencing this attraction has been evident since day one. CVs have been giving us clues of this in every day, including that ridiculous dancing around him like a clueless newly hatched chick. It is not overt like every other woman in HD who is openly lusting after him, but is below the surface.
What galls me is not that Indira is attracted to this guy. What galls me is the circumstances under which she is experiencing this attraction and how she is letting it make her witless.
- her wedding day, right after she came out of the temple, making all sorts of tall promises in front of God. She was so captivated by a cop catching a petty thief, she even forgot it was her wedding day and just minutes before, she was making some pretty intense conversation with God.
- Her husband is beaten, tortured, murdered and re-kidnapped in front of her eyes in the last couple of days.
And yet her brain and body have spare capacity to indulge in dance of sexual attraction - Her whole "I hate you so" trope with him when she could not even recognize her husband's body or smell when she hugged him
- The whole eyelock, shoulder brushing that went on yesterday.
- Today, she was so overpowered by his presence in the barsaati, she was clueless, fluttering here and there, not able to concentrate on the task at hand, staring at him and thinking he is backing her into a corner, when he was looking at the picture with Rishi, utter blankness during these proceedings etc
If there was any doubt that Indira is not attracted to this guy at a physical, if somewhat repressed level, it was today.
Again, attraction is not the issue. Issue is how little her husband had value for her that he could at this very point be being tortured (most likely) and injured (most likely), and she is capacity to indulge in these frivolous human emotions
