Todays episode brought out the bad in all 3 leads Shravan, Sumo and Adi.
Sumo for going ahead with a marriage where she could not bear the touch of her fiance. All for family and Nanu. What about the guy, his family, his feelings? Dead wood is not the right way my girl! She may have started the course of the events. But the results are not of her making and she is a victim for one more day... before she turns into Sumo and starts being a little selfish. Hopefully 😃
Aditya, in his defense he does try to talk to Sumo and she does not talk to him. He goes into her room and he tries to tie her dori and she tells him "Yeh kya battameezi" What would she do on Suhag rath? Then comes the crude part. He is more interested in the sex part than the marriage. Crude... but it also conveys the fact that she has no interest in him. Adi knows that. a honorable man would have called off the wedding. But the venom that Shravan filled in him makes him do something that is disgusting and deplorable.
Shravan, the less said about this Teda Shravan the better. How, he uses Sumo as a tool to get back at Adi and Nirmala. He compromises his friendship, his friend and puts her in a dangerous situation. Why? For daring to reject him? His act is no less disgusting or deplorable than Adi. This is the teda Shravan's naked face.
The young Shravan in his letter asks Sumo...Is this love?
We come back to the same question with Shravan. What he feels for Sumo after 10 years, is this love? The party where he insults her, Khosla he let her go but saves her in the nth minute, with Nirmala, anger and rage, PCT he blasts her without listening to her, Accident had he warned her she wouldn't have met with the accident. He has not understood Suman at all. He has taken her trust and faith in him for granted. But she has always waited for him all the way through.. for him to come around... till he called her friendship "Kokli Dosti" That day he closed all channels between them... maybe she would have gone back to him then too... waited for him. But fate happened.
His insecurities are blinding him, the day Lalaji was talking to him about friendship, Shravan could not look at himself in the mirror. He could not bear what he has become, what he has lost, losing. He was ashamed of the teda Shravan.
But, till recently no matter what his fault Sumo always came back to him. Even tomorrow she is going to run to him. Will he realize anything? Or is it too late?
A long time back Sumo said... that she could forget this new Shravan... but could never forget her sweet friend of their school days. Shravan, with what he has done today has crossed that line and indeed is going to make her regret her friendship ðŸ˜.
He has truly lost Sumo now... She can be right next to him, but he would be no better than an Adi to her. Because this is not the Shravan that she loved. Indifference is the word that Shravan should really be scared of now.
Its now time for Shravan to understand what Sumo said after the party insult. "Mein kya hun aur tum kya ho!" Time to understand who Suman / Sumo really is... the part that he never knew even in his school days. The part that he never asked her about.
And for those of you who justify Shravan. An accomplice to murder does not go without punishment. If Adi tried to rape Sumo physically Shravan has purposefully spewed enough venom in Adi. Willfully let Sumo get hurt. I compare Shravans act to Inception, of how a thought is planted in a person's mind, willfully, knowing where that could lead. Shravan deliberately planted that thought in Adithya's mind. He set the dice rolling...
Imagine if Adi had managed the same feat after marriage in their suhag raath then? Shravan sowed the doubt of infidelity of Sumo in Adi's mind... deliberately and decides to not bother about the consequences. This would not be acceptable to any man in any part of the world. The reactions might differ but Shravan with what he said and implied, did irreparable damage not just to the woman but also put her in danger. This is going to haunt him for a long time.
Shravan Malhotra's fall from grace is infact the beginning of the new chapter.
Understanding that this is not Sumo's Shravan and making an effort to get there... We are going to hopefully see Ramu's Shravan's journey towards Suman and discovering her in the process. Trusting Suman with his life, the same way she used to...
I am looking forward to this journey of him making her his friend again. Can he now?
