Well, I can't believe I am saying this, but Suman has brought me back to the show :)
I know she is a big mouth, unbearable, loud and does not care much about anything else other than her kids. She is selfish but you know, now I find her more relatable than the mahatma Sona now.
She shows everyone a mirror. A mirror to reflect their own characters.
Suman is exactly what Sona is not. She does not lie down and take shit from others like Sona in the name of Family and Sasural. Suman is someone who pushes her children to stand on their own, respect the job, respect the money. They seem like two ends of the pole. Maybe the fact that her husband left her made her a tough mamma bear but anyway I started relating to her character than Sona, who has gone into Alice's rabbit hole since her marriage.
I feel that Sona is trying to become a 'Veena' whom Rohit adores a lot. But I would rather see a strong and independent woman who stands her ground like Suman and not a mellow, unbearable 'mirror image of Veena' kind of Sona.
