TB: Today, we are talking about the man of the moment, and I do mean MOMENT...Sudarshan.
Source: He's THE man!!! (points his finger at TB)
TB: Yes he is THE MAN....I think man...and I automatically think Suds.
Source: Well...
TB: People accuse Sudarshan of being a NON-character. He rarely utters a word, gives very perplexing expressions, it's odd...Can you tell us more about him...what was the intention?
Source: Sudarshan is like the impartial third-party, non-judgmental, quietly watching the people in his home deal with their issues, personal battles, etc. He's a bit like Sanjay in the Mahabharat--documenting . As you've noticed, he will NOT judge, will not utter a word...
TB: I thought perhaps that was because Suds was an duffer..some people, not me, call him thatr...
Source: Satyanaas! Duffer! Bilkul duffer nahi hain. He is a bystander. And he is honest--HONEST! Look at Naku...soot here soot there (shows how Naku applies soot to her face), Dutta...gussa here gussa there (shows how Dutta was about to punch Baji)..
TB <scared for her face>: I get your point...really I do....
Source: And that AS with her Jagadambe Jagadambe, pandit batao, padit batao all day. SUDARSHAN is honest. You will never see deceit on his face. His face always reveals the truth.
TB: You mean the weird expressions he makes...
Source: Weird nahi hain, I tell you. You do not understand the character. Put yourself in his place...
TB: You must be joking....
Source: Why not? You have to put yourself in a character's place.
TB: But how can I do that? The guy is a duffer! Those looks look like....you know!
Source <leans CLOSE to TB, too close>: Looks like what?
TB: That....
Source: That...OH NO!
TB: It's not?
Source: Most certainly not! He is not constipated! Those looks are those of a man deep in thought...an HONEST man who cannot hide his disapproval or suspicions of the people around him.
TB: Well, clearly, I missed the boat on that! My fault! Now his wife Leela, doesn't seem to like him...
Source: Leela is a spoiled girl...living in her own home and forcing her husband to do the same.
TB: I thought Sudarshan was happy to live in the lap of luxury...being a pampered ghar jamai.
Source: See, I do not understand it! Do you not see the emotion in his face, his humiliation, his helplessness?
TB: Where? On his face? Arre, all I see are some crazy looks. His wife doesn't even notice his looks!
Source: Well, I say he cannot stand his spoiled wife! The man's hands are tied, stuck in a loveless marriage. He is desirable for sure...other women...
TB: Don't tell me other women want his goods...I mean him...
Source: Yes, he is DESIRABLE...
TB: A GIGOLO???
Source: Not a gigolo. That sounds so cheap! He has been forced to look elsewhere for the love that Leela does not give him. He is like Dutta in that way...
TB: Arre, what are you saying????
Source: Dutta....they both need love, understanding...they are so strong on the outside, yet on the inside are like JELL-O. Soft and jiggly.
TB: OMG...OMG!
Source: What happened? What happened?
TB: Nothing...I just did not feel well for a second there....I just felt a bit jiggly on the inside too!
Source: As I was saying....
TB: No, you said it beautifully. I CLEARLY had not given Sudarshan the thought that his through-provoking character deserves. But what about his embezzling from Dutta?
Source: Well, I don't consider it EMBEZZLING, technically.
TB: Technically?
Source: He is like ROBIN HOOD, Indian-style. Sonia ...
TB: Don't even say it. NO POLITICS, remember? People don't take that so well....
Source: Thik hain. I was saying he is like Robin Hood taking from the rich and undeserving and giving it back to the people...
TB: You mean his girlfriends...
Source: What girlfriends?
TB: The ones whose love he is seeking...remember? He is deprived of love, like Dutta..?
Source: Right! You understand then!
TB: I'd be crazy not to! Otherwise, you may have to explain it all over again to me!
TB: So what do you envision for Sudarshan as the show moves on?
Source: I'm thinking, much as Dutta's look has changed, Sudarshan's will too. They are going to have him wear open necked kurtas...give him a more masculine look...a shower scene. You watch!
TB: OMG! OMG!
Source: Are you okay? Does your tummy feel jiggly again? Let me get you a Coke. <gives instruction to office assistant to get a Coke>
TB: Thank you, I think. I think I've overdone it today. I appreciate you making the time for me...
