And i have no problems with lecture on common man and celebs (police interoggation). Like when Devoleena Bhattacharya got arrested a lot of misjudged her. I dont think this kinda important stuff should be skippable people especially the rural people should get to know about this tiny facts.
I felt it was skippable because a.) The exposition of Suman's past was not well executed for me. I understand she has trauma but I dont know why, the act did not get to me.
B.)As I said, it was more of a filler episode
C.) The whole breaking the fourth wall and lecture of celebs being common people is trying to erase the truth that people do infact worship celebrities. I get that they have it hard, long working hours and unrealistic expectations. But the power to change that narrative is also in their hands. It is not necessary for a show to run 3 years, they can have finite series as well as seasons. It then, in turn can produce excellent storywriting that actually makes sense. It also means the actors can have a break and new fresh talent can be introduced. Channels do not do so because they earn more by exploiting everyone-the actors, writers, camera crew, setworkers as well as the audiences.
But it is too much to be asked of from one episode,but it is not too much to ask to not to overuse the 'oh look at us, we have no privilege' narrative every single episode.
I have no clue who Devoleena Bhattacharya is, I will read up on her :) but if anything happened to her like it did to Sonakshi, it is terrible. I do agree on the fact that public is quick to judge as quick as put someone on the pedestal.
