I know we all are hanging around with a heavy heart, because of having to let go off Arylie so unexpectedly. And now with FK liking the tweet not to bash Sumbul, it's almost confirmed that there might be a leap and Sumbul is retained, which is like pouring salt into our wounds. Hence, with all these in mind, I am trying to give a positive perspective of why she might have decided to stay, inspite of the trio & FK leaving the show.
As we know the first & foremost reason would be she must have not wanted to be ungrateful to a show that was a turning point & gave her so much in life. And if she's staying on SP's request, we know the additional reach she got through NTV by being a part of RWSP. So, it's quite normal for her to pay it back to all those who helped her have a foothold in this industry. And I believe being grateful in life will only take one person to more higher places.
Secondly, who knows she agreed to stay so that we may get a beautiful & decent ending for Arylie, which would not have been the case if both of them were quitting. Especially in such a situation with Gul being riled up by fans, Sumbul staying back could be the only thing that could calm her down and not spoil Arylie to make her ego win. So, let's keep that in mind before being emotional & loosing our control with our words.
Thirdly, if S2 gives her a role which is completely opposite to what Imlie was, why wouldn't she accept it, considering how competitive she is when she is challenged about something. We have seen it many times in RWSP. So, if she has decided to take this up as a challenge, shouldn't we support her fighting spirit? I don't believe in Gul being successful in making an S2 pair hit, that too when the trio is not in picture now; but just for Sumbul I would wish that she will be able to leave the show with her head held high, whenever S2 ends.
Above all, she is the breadwinner of her family with having to take care of her sister and that too in a city like Mumbai. And an actor's life is unpredictable. So, before we feel bad about our online or offline ships, please put yourself in her shoes and it will be able to control ourselves from giving into negative emotions. Have been there; hence trying to help you all in the way I helped myself.
Now, for those who are concerned about how she will manage in the set with new cast & crew for the third time, I believe atleast Nilimaji will be retained from the old cast, to whom she seems to be more attached as a mother and who too takes care of her in the same way. And who knows, all existing cast are retained except for FK & probably Resham.
Moreover I would request all Arylieans & Sumaan supporters to be mature enough to take wise decisions not for anyone/anything, but for our own mental health. Because 'Continuing in bitterness is something like slow poisoning. You won't know what harm it is bringing in your's & other's life, until you reach a point where you will start hating yourself. And until you take cautious effort to come out of that state, you will not be able to lead a peaceful life.' So, let's be an example to other fandoms. 😊
