I know we have all discussed the choti Sumo visit a lot. Honestly I am not disappointed with the younger Sumo because it is consistent with her characterisation and older Sumo because she takes everything at face value. Anyway let me get to the point, I have a different take on this, so feel free to disagree 😉 or agree.
This is a classic example of "Fight or Flight", when faced with the worst in life, something that shakes the core of their being, people have only one of these 2 responses. Shravan choses to flee and Sumo choses to fight.That is why the younger Sumo is here. We have to remember that the younger Sumo was 15 and she was 6 when her parents died. What would a 6 year old do or for that matter what would a 15 year old do ? I think she chose to block the pain and that is the way she fights. We can argue that, that is also fleeing, I agree.Remember when they visit Sumo's house Shravan asks her why she hadn't told him so far, that he hasn't seen this side to Sumo before, she says he never asked. So she had blocked out everything.

I am not taking sides, I am just looking at this objectively. Both the responses are not wrong or right, these are things that keep you sane. Think about the parallel. The scene where Shravan leaves for London. The catch here is that we know Shravan left and Sumo stayed but we don't know how she responded. My assumption is that she blocked the pain, in fact I think she must have blocked out the younger Sumo and hence the reappearance of younger Sumo today when almost the same thing is happening. Shravan is going to come back on his own and he will be fine. He vented out his anger and it might have subsided a little bit.

Till last night I was thinking Shravan suicide, no way. But now I can see how it fits. Once he knows of the Sumo-Adithya rishta he will be broken again and will probably attempt something, if not consciously may be subconsciously he will do something,he is going to be ruthless. And I think Sumo will fight to get him back to his feet (symbolically ) .
I don't even know if I am making sense. So leave in your comments, I am sure a lot of you will disagree with me, bashing welcome 😉

Lovely post Nith.

I thought i'll make a post along the same line , glad you did!

The mean little girl was Sumo's coping mechanism and it's unfortunate Shrav spent more time with her and was victim of her silly ploys to prove dominance.

The real Sumo is the scared girl who peeped thr' windows waiting for her parents to come and take her away and push her swing. I thought Shrav understood Sumo from that day. Apparently, the little boy was scarred too much & forgot her vulnerability.

Interesting contrast in their younger selves. Sumo draws strength from her younger self and Shrav sees that as his most vulnerable period,where he got dumped by both the women he cherished. He fled and changed himself to a suave lawyer, but, till last night in Sumo's presence he was that little boy,who cared for her too much.

I'm curious to see how grown up Shrav is gonna deal with Sumo, who has her bitch mode on😆

even i tried to understand choti sumo's advice .. it was little off so i started to think .. maybe this sumo was not the friend of shravan but that lost girl who just wanted to have fun, make superficial friends and not think too deep just to ward off her loneliness .. remember sumo's own description of herself before she met shravan ..

so it was like her insecurity of being alone after being branded a shallow friend making her feel " just forget the pain , just focus on what u have and keep moving " ...

Thanks Simran ! I am not sure about the mode Sumo will be in. But there is one thing, younger Sumo stood up for Shravan, let us leave her image thing alone. Remember the scene where they are eating ice-cream and a lady says something to Shravan she defends him, so I think this Sumo will actually fight for him rather than sacrificing him.

Thanks poppinss, I don't think they called each other "bagoda" and "figher" simply. When I look back those words mean a lot and I don't mean to demean "bagoda" and glorify "fighter", it is what they are.
