what flaws?

I tried watching this show because I read there is finally a show that has a flawed,real female lead..but on the basis of whatever number of episodes I have watched I will say that I disagree..may be the teenage sumo was wrong,flawed,real but how is this grown up suman who has a perpetual bechaara face when with her "family" any different from the other mary sues of indian tv?
She is shown to be taking care of everyone, even if nobody gives a damn about that care,about her..before the party her mami said to her 'because of these parties and enjoyment one forgets the important work that is to be done, I will suggest that you don't go'..suman is not shown to feel angry(or even bad) about this..she is not shown to feel bad or angry or frustrated at anything that her family says..her cousin spoilt her dress and after merely saying sorry she happily goes away without any offer of help and suman still has no complaints..
I get she must have felt guilty about the car fiasco but couldn't/shouldn't she have reacted a bit after the way her mami reacted at her accident news?after the way her cousin reacted(who btw was forgiven so easily by suman just yesterday)..even if she can't react because she feels indebted or whatever toward those people..but shouldn't there at least be supressed feelings of frustration/anger?
Her bechaara face was kind of annoying in yesterday's episode..to me she is just like most lead on tv..at the most fiesty towards the hero..not anybody else.



This show is promoted as how suman balances her love life and self respect/how she chooses her self respect over her love..so she gets aware of her self respect only when with shravan?..otherwise she is going to go all out for her inconsiderate family which does not value her at all?

Interesting take :-)

Promos highlighted the same

*ghar mein chui mui(calm and obedient...) Si suman
Bahar sumo kehlati hai*

As someone said above* she is a firebrand outside the house .. ... but in the house ... she is meek sacrificial lamb ... this fact is actually highlighted ...*


maa baap ka karz chukana hai aur samman paana hai

The day she clears all the debts...she will owe the respect...that is she can stand for her self-respect...

Right Now she cant argue with her maternal family

Very valid points dear & i had pointed this out earlier in 1 of my posts as well. However the sad truth is that this is the story of Indian women in large. Take me for instance. I am in a very high post in 1 of the biggest IT co in India. Earn lakhs of money, have a school going daughter.

But I cant say a word against my MIL at home. Have had lots of fights with my hubby in the past. Now its simple acceptance. This is how life is for a married middle class Indian woman. You can either accept & deal with it or whine & moan over it. Since the latter is of no use I simply choose to ignore every taunt by my MIL. Of course i show my resentment thru silence which my hubby understands. Some times he makes me feel better, sometimes he makes it worse.

So in truth the FL is actually v real & most of the working women in India can relate to this character.

About going out of the way to impress her family or extended family. I feel its a desperate attempt.from her to feel wanted

If you see she always offers to pay the money ,do the work to prove that she's not financially dependent on any one and frankly and she's doing her part ...but since she doesn't have any other home she puts up with what ever is dished out to her

But I agree paying.3 lakhs just because she was late to pick them up is too much it's a company paying for a delayed service In consumer court

priya...abt 3 lakhs money...

i did that but not that huge of 3 lakhs...

once the train got very late and i cancelled my trip then my father scolded me for wasting that ticket money...i transferred the amount to his account as soon as i reached my destination ...

what can we call this ... ego/self-respect 😆
