I really don't understand Suman's character.
I find it very hard as a viewer to relate with her and to feel bad for her.
Even during yesterday's confrontation scene, I was surprised that Sumo was shocked by Shravan's behaviour. I mean, I don't get why she would expect Shravan to propose to her after all the attitude she's given him.
And then, instead of understanding Shravan's pain, she decides that Shravan is a baggage that needs to be dropped.
Like seriously!?!
What makes all of this worse is that, unlike Shravan, she will most likely not regret her decisions or feel any sort of remorse due to her almighty "self respect".
I personally take self respect very seriously in my own life, and I think Sumo is less concerned about self respect and more concerned about her ego.
There are two major skills which Sumo lacks: empathy and accountability.
Empathy: Sometimes, Sumo is so caught up in her own problems and concerns (and her own family), that she completely disregards Shravan. She expects so much from him, and in return, gives him very little. In a successful relationship, Sumo needs to learn how to also see things from her partner's point of view too. She needs to learn how to balance the "give" and "take".
Accountability: Sumo really lacks the ability of noticing her own mistakes and owning up to them. She can't always expect Shravan to say all the sorry's. Sometimes, you have to let go of that ego, and truly see what you could have done better in a given situation. This is not only key in relationships, but also in managing a business. The most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who are able to keep improving.
Anyways, sorry for the long rant. I am not a huge fan of Sumo's character, and after yesterday's episode, I was pretty disappointed by her.
