When Sumo sets her eyes on Shravan's fallen face after the wedding announcement by a "certain Ahuja", I was thinking to myself that she's finally going to act on the disaster signal picked up by her empathy radar. Guess I was wrong! She goes into the kitchen right after and summarily dismisses the visual stimulus as noise and wonders that she is not able to get Shravan out of her mind.😳 There's no proper head or tail as to what she observes and what she understands eventually which makes me want to prise open her skull and put some electrodes and examine her brain!
YES it's understandable that the characters do not have the bird's eye view that the viewers are equipped with BUT Sumo's irrational behavior rankles so much so that I couldn't stop myself today from ranting on it! Sumo has the benefit of hindsight which Shravan LACKS completely! Sumo KNOWS about Ramnath's underhanded machinations, Shravan's inherent insecurities stemming from an abandoned mother and yet she can't put 2 and 2 together and figure out the mental state of Shravan? They are supposed to be childhood best friends with a deep rooted soul-connection (or so did the makers try to sell the show) and whose friendship has weathered the test of time and distance
It's such a pity that this character started off with a bang but fizzled out in NO TIME. The only constancy in this load of crap is Namik's spectacular thespian skills which keep getting better and better as each episode goes by.
