The forum is going all gaga about Shravan right now... what biceps, sexy arms and the smile to die for... God put in too much effort on this single person to make our nights sleepless 😛

Yikes! off topic, back to Shravan...

He could have done better in what he did before the past 2 days. I felt he did not act like a sane or a responsible person. This guy blows hot one minute and blows cold the other. Yes, he does love Sumo to pieces, but whats the point if he acts like he hates her!

Shravan's relationship is not just with Sumo, he and his family have a connection with Nanaji as well. And he seems to love Nanaji like his own grandpa. In that sense was it right on his part to treat sumo the way he did? At the very least he could have put a word to his dad or even Pushkar, I am sure they would have done something to help. Or refereed her to a good lawyer. Imagine something happening to Nanaji in the past few days. Would Shravan have forgiven himself?

Its about time that the CVs lets Shravan's character move forward and find new grouses against Sumo. I feel the past is being hammered too much at this point in the story.

I am glad that Shra did finally follow his heart and ended up helping Sumo and How!! I particularly loved how he held her hand and didn't even realize what he was doing. It was as if in his mind she is his and that is that.

He even tells her how his brain is all twisted and his heart is a lot more reliable. I felt that there was an unwritten apology in that statement to all that he did to Sumo since he came to India.

I think it was an unsaid apology for refusing to fight the case...not the other bits
You made an interesting point...if he would have behaved sensibly, things wouldn't have reached the point where nanu-sumo would have needed rescuing..heroic and nice to watch as it was

I felt it was pretty much every thing. Cause the party, the holi incident pretty much everything that he did to this point was with his brain.
We could see him showing his emotions to Sumo for the first time during Holi when Sumo gave him her mom's jewels and then now.

But, what happened yesterday was done so openly, Sumo could see it clearly. This is the first time she has seen her old Shravan.

Did you notice, Shravan says the exact same thing that Sumo did about their memories being always there and the happy moments of those times would remain and no one could take them away.

With that single statement Shravan has undone all that he had told Sumo about him having forgotten their past. There is hope for them to get closer before his sister or dad pull the brakes!

Nice post! As you all know about my academic hell week going on, so I'm going to keep this short(er than I would) and probably won't be back to reply. Hopefully that's fine. Also while there probably were fangirling posts over how amazing he looked, there are quite enough posts about his character too.

Anyways, for now I'll just like to just state my problem with the two fundamental points from your post that I find to be relying more on "what-ifs" than criticism that is actually applicable.

1. He could've acted better.

He could've (well actually, this is also an arguable statement if you keep in mind his character and what would logically make sense, continuity, etc. but for discussion's sake, let's me just agree to this point here). So yes, he could've, but that's what marks the difference between idealism (situations & behaviors) and realism. Real people act on impulse & emotion. Their fight that morning, when she said "It would be better for both of them if he just left" when clearly he wanted her to stop him, for no other reason than her just wanting him to stay. That spat from the morning was still fresh in his mind. He probably could've acted better, but the fact that he didn't makes him so real! So relatable! And in a non-asshole-ish way as Indian TV almost always tends to do. Such a refreshing and beautiful depiction! And the fact eventually saw the light (Nana ji's importance in his life, the fact that he didn't want to leave Sumo in that situation, etc.) when push came to shove is what completes this beautiful portrait of a beautifully written character. And I think that the beauty of this show and his character, the fact that it's so real. It is human. And rather than arguing over how things could've been so much better, I find there's more value in trying to understand why they've been shown a certain way and go from there.

2. I feel the past is being hammered too much at this point in the story.

Um sorry? The last emphasized reference to his past hurt from her was after the party when he told her of his reasons. After that there has not been a single mention of that point. If anything, that is my only qualm with the show, that the past, Suman's mistakes are not being addressed. So I just cannot see the argument that this track is being beaten to death (hammered) to the audience.
As for my qualms, I have faith that the writers will address it, but for now it seems like they forgot about it. But I understand that is to parallel how Shravan has too, put that aside, to focus on the pressing issues at hand.

Also if anything references to their fallout have been subtly infused, in ways that weave their way into the story and bring us such valuable insight into our characters. Ways that I can't help but adore. For example yesterday,

"Bachpan toh waqt ne cheen liya," you see how the hurt she gave him affect him so deeply, "Par bachpan ki yaadein humse koi nahi cheen sakta," the hurt has done nothing to rubbish their happier memories, despite how much he wanted to believe they were all faked and ingenuine from her side (and probably when he left for London saw it was in his better judgement to believe so, but still--as seen with this dialogue--wasn't able to do so). You peel off another layer of our hero, we confirm what we've believed about him all along.

So I really just can't see this point at all. And as far as the significance of what she did in the past, you know where I stand on this. Significant, scarring, and consciously made mistakes that cannot be forgiven. But I think it's better we don't get into this, because it'll just be an endless back and forth, and no matter how many points I bring up, we will stick to our personal perspectives.


Need to go, didn't check back for typos/grammatical errors. Also regardless, it's good that you made a post to display your opinions. I just replied with mine.

Hey radha ,
I am not a fan of last minute heros ,the guys who come to help when there is enough mess created and which could have been easily avoided
As far a Sravan is concerned here is what I think he is ,he's that guy who wants to be prarcial but hes not ,not when it comes to people he care about ...so it was his confusion that the last few episodes was about ...and for one emotions won over practicality ...actually his definition of practicality
So yes ...and some times in the future ...his definition of practicality will win over emotions and he may decide to leave again ...unless he's not scared to get hurt again he cannot fall in love... So I want to see this guy over come his fear

PS my version of the story ...could be not what the writers intended

I am not convinced that he things he was completely wrong wrt the party revenge which is why I said that I believe his statement was an unsaid apology for refusing to fight the case and putting nanu and her through so much trouble

@memories: yep..both of them eventually said the same thing after trying to run away from them or trying to move on..
That they have accepted that the memories will always be special is a start in itself

@krithi the way the show us progessing is very good. No complaints there but to me the way shra acted since he came back was uncalled for... Not just sumo but pp too. I would think that he had apologized. If not i would expect him to apologise and take up his childhood issues with sumo. At the very least i want him to make sumo realize what he felt in an adultish way.
Lets hope the cvs do something about this soon

@krithi we all get hurt. But end up moving on away from that hurt. I think shra should too ... And attack the whole problem from a different angle. If not leave it and move on. That would give us the character growth. This seems to be happening now. Let's see where this leads us before the next misunderstanding.
