....that's when they're in "love"?😆
Time and again, since the last many epis now, we are being shown parallels in the conversations between Shravan-Bunty and Suman-Kanchan.....the one recurring theme is how both Bunty and Kanchan point out to them that they just aren't making sense anymore😆
I really felt for poor Kanchan today trying to make sense of Suman softening over Shravan😆. She's used to dealing with a hardcore logical version of her sister...this new version who makes many exceptions for Shravan is hard for Kanchan to square right now. Suman really is a marvel....her ability to hold on to her justified hurt with Shravan while still being large hearted enough to give him credit for managing to show courage in some form is amazing. That ofcourse is the surface level reason she is giving. The other reason that she won't admit to Kanchan is that Shravan is the exception to all her usual norms and rules. She makes allowances for him that she wouldn't otherwise. The why of that is what's being explored here.
Because on the other side we have a Shravan also acting out of character according to BFF Bunty😆.....the most Bunty had ever seen him upset before this was over his father taking away his bike😆....but today, Shravan mopes around, refusing to eat golgappe cuz he yearns for Sumo ki smile😆.....I found one statement from him telling today.....when he thought to himself that the first person to tell him he doesn't have himmat happens to be the very girl he likes and wants to impress. That ofcourse is the surface reason, just like Suman has her surface reasons. The other reason is the deeper one....Suman too is the exception to all his life philosophies and norms. He makes allowances for her that he doesn't for anyone else, so she is beyond the typical girl he wants to like and impress. The why of that is also a work in progress for him😆
Based on these patterns, I would like to see the writers bringing these threads together into something meaningful. At this point, it seems like a refreshing approach towards exploring these evolving feelings without the standard "thunderclap" that supposedly deems two people in love. Right now these two are hovering between friendship, liking, "impress karna hai".....it's good they haven't instantly jumped to "love".....at the same time though, I would like some variation beyond Shravan's standard fixation of "impress karna hai"😆. Let's see if his "main matter karta hoon ki nahin" experiment yields any shifts.
