After tossing in his bed worrying about the impact of his lie on Sumo's future,he goes back to sleep as Naya Shrav.
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." May be Shrav knew about Adhi's reckless side and pushed the right buttons.He decided he won't worry about the consequences of his slander.That was for the most dangerous woman on his list to deal with.
At the wedding he just had to tell Adhi "I was kidding last night" and desperate Adhi would've bought it.He chose not to.
Poor Suman, wanted to hang on to the last vestige of her freedom and refused to talk to Adhi.
then Adhi went berserk and Shrav turned murderous.
Unless the writers tell me otherwise, I'm going to stick to my opinion of Adhi not being a despo and was only using unorthodox methods to get a confession out of Sumo.
If only Adhi had told Sumo plainly what he heard about her past, Sumo would've slapped Shravan and he could've got his kiss and more. Alas! Adhi tried his "apne tarieky' that backfired on him big time.He is branded as desperate molester and Shravan becomes the hero.
Nimmi is in pain and Adhi is pretty much disowned by his adopted Mom.
Shrav gets into the good books of his best friend again.She is indebted to him for life.And no one will believe Adhi if he talks about the lie he was fed.
That was revenge!
P.S- I know Shrav is feeling guilty, even for putting Nimmi tthr' it.Namik is a great actor, there was a flicker of emotions when he sees Nimmi at Nanu's feet apologizing for Adhi.
