After today's episode, I know most of the people, will lean or literally stand on Shravan's side.
They will think of Suman as some git/rude/cold-hearted girl, who can't feel.
They will think Shravan to be the ultimate sufferer.
But, I just want to pull out a neutral point of view, on which I want all of you to give a thought about. This show isn't about the Male lead or the Female Lead, it's about the situations and the two-way problems they have faced till now.
Understanding Shravan's side isn't difficult.
He saw the whole society pulling out a mockery of his family, calling them deshdrohi. He saw his family break, relations sour. He saw his father serve 3 years of the sentence.
But he decided that Suman was some nonchalant sh*t, for whom he was a small chapter. So he Knowingly didn't answer her calls and messages.
People need to understand that if Suman's father has died because of Devraj's negligence, Shravan needs to get this in his gut too. If he had genuinely got this in his gut, then he would have tried calling Suman, the same way she had done it for him.
Understanding Suman is a bit complicated.
She admits that she realized her mistake of slapping him and being impulsive. She wanted to reach out to him, but he didn't allow. Fine.
And then she got bitter. Maybe, her thoughts could have redirected into thinking that Shravan's father is some real culprit, because Shravan wasn't answering her.
In short, they could have mended their ways. They could have talked early.
They didn't, because for each of them, their individual family - was just too right and important. That's right for most people, right?
So why only blame one?
Suman filling the case again is a bit too much. She clearly says that it isn't about you and Devraj. She doesn't want Shravan to beg. So now we all should be thinking that she is some mad creature existing in the throes of this world?
No.
It isn't the case.
According to me, the pain of losing her father is like a nail dug in her skin. It hurts every single minute, which she wants to take out but couldn't. Shravan's indifference to her small/ or whatever amount of effort it takes to initiate the mending of broken relations - triggered that soft point. She doesn't consider her father martyred, she thinks he was murdered. She can't think forward. She is stuck. She wants to make Shravan feel her pain, of course by not losing his own father, but by making him realize that he shouldn't have left her or disowned her for her sudden impulsiveness. Of course, this is the ego which is making her think like that, but Suman Tiwari wants validation. She wants him to come to her and tell her that "I think it was my father's negligence. He is wrong somewhere, he shouldn't have done that."
And Shravan wants Suman to look through his pain as well. To look at her father, the way he looks at him. That how disturbed he is. But Suman, is such a tough nut, that the soft layering of his behaviour is now replaced with some maddening character - the Sanki Captain Malhotra.
Just like Suman can't apologize to Devraj, can't see him completely innocent (even if she doesn't want to hurt him- silly girl you know! ), Shravan too doesn't want to fall in her shoes. He doesn't want to completely understand how lonely she got, how difficult and different was her emotional trauma and seclusion. (Shravan too had his share of psychological disturbance, but he wasn't completely alone, I can see his friends for the good, let's not fight and compare. he at least had the hope of his father getting justice and victory, that he will find himself with his family in flesh and blood. I request you to at least give a bit leeway to Suman in this point.)
I made this post so that we can pull off a sane point of view for both the characters and not ruin our viewing experience. Please, try not to bash any of the leads, they have their own set of MU's, their own set of traumas. Let's respect it. I have written stories on post-leap scenarios, and it's always a heavy task to justify who suffered more.
Let's get it straight that Devraj had his set of faults, (the bribing, the hiding of details from Vijay), which might have come across Suman, and finally, she isn't able to get this out of her gut and of course, Shravan is a bit oblivious.
PS- Mohit and Kanikka nailed it in the episode today. Loads of love to the CVs for such a script!
