Hey there I am new in this forum. :) My name is Ankita 😊
By this post I am not here to judge anyone or put them in frame of right or wrong or defend and justify anyone's action/deeds. Here I am just putting a thought regarding younger Sumo and her behaviour which I could not help coming with would love to see your views. 😊
So as we have seen her being so conscious regarding her image and in many ways was an insensitive and mean bully too. My question is why she was so obsessed about maintaining her "cool image" that she end up hurting her best friend more than often? What was her driving force? We have seen often in real life teen kids who bully or abuse kids in school physically or otherwise are themselves victim of the same kind of treatment at home.
For example I remember a case from a crime based show where a teenage kid who was an ace and well behaved student ended up killing another fellow kid who was a school's bully and quite often used to bully him as well.
1. Now the kid who ended up committing a murder was from a well to do family his father was an army officer who always used to taunt or pressurize him to be a man and fight and take a stand. After taking many harassments and bullying there came a point when he stood up against the bully kid when he was bullying and misbehaving with another fellow girl kid that time he stood up against him which was also first time.
2. The other bully kid who ended up being dead belonged to normal middle class family whose father used to abuse him physically.
Now both the kids were victims and suffering already and their behaviour was the outcome of the suffering and frustration and end result was extreme and tragic.
In the given example things were very extreme but point is was young Sumo also suffering in some way or the other. Was her behaviour result of teenage who care for her image and what people think about it like any other normal teenager or is there more to it? Her outburst at Shravan when he came to her all dishevelled was she herself suffering from something huge or small that she didn't care at that time and thought or still thinks "itni bhi badi baat nahi thi". We have seen how her family is and her mother had taken 20 Lac loan there must have been some financial issues and as Pushkar said she went through a lot in past 10years in Shravan's absence probably something major happened after he left. Again then things must have been building up already assumingly when Shravan was still there may be small but significant. Hence her behaviour was result of that it's like at home things are not in my control but outside the house I am the boss because if that's the case you can't expect a teenager to act maturely in such situations also it's the when hormonal changes happen which reflects in their behaviour and moods.
Looking forward to your views. 😊
P.S. I am not defending or justifying anyone what young Sumo did to young Shravan was wrong I am just putting a thought here so please refrain from categorizing or putting in light of right or wrong of any character and fighting over it. Healthy discussions are most welcome😊
