If she defends her dad, she’s looking weak because why should only her parent speak? If she disses her dad, I mean who does that right? Then it’ll be like how dare you. I mean really I would hyperventilate too because there is literally no way out.
On the other hand, IMO I have genuinely seen her try to keep a distance from Shalin - in general I find it ludicrous as to what big gesture she has done to be called obsessed. Fail to understand till date except where the physical fight happened with Stan. This match was definitely lit by Tina and the flames have engulfed Sumbul, I don’t feel bad for Tina’s character rant after she said Sumbul waits for Shalin outside the washroom. This week she has actively propagated this narrative.
Then you have Shalin who acts shocked to know she has a crush, but when she maintains distance tries to speak alone to her and assure her of his undying support but then backstab her in some way so when she asks him hey why? He can promote she’s crazy narrative, also the coming to her for votes and championing the trio bond. Like bruh stop acting dumb.
finally Sumbul herself, you know your dad once again told you yet you fall asleep next to Shalin on the bed:I swear 🤣
I felt for Sumbul in the WKV when she was unnecessarily targeted because like I had said then , a) it was not about Sumbul's obsession that day...there were other serious issues that should've been addressed and b) even if its obsession, its her choice or her game..she is an adult and she can decide for herself..
BUT, her father is the one who has made a mountain of a molehill .. Tina, at the best could spread rumors but her father by intervening like this and repeatedly has indirectly validated her false claims about Sumbul's obsession. Had he not interfered that first time the way he did, no one would've pointed fingers at Sumbul, atleast not neutral audiences..Tina was the one who was looking the ''wicked'' one bitching everywhere in the house about a teenager girl.. What her father's interference the first time did, was alerted everyone.. now when she went back to talk to Shalin (and Tina), people actually started believing what Tina said..that she is so obsessed that she can't stay away from the guy..wears his jacket, sleeps with him on his bed, hugs him all the time..every action of her got microscopically judged..Had it been only Tina, Sumbul would've managed to get sympathy from a lot of neutral audience's like myself because of the image Tina has.. but in Sumbul's case, I can't help but not feel so sorry for Sumbul, thanks to her father.. and yeah, there's not much she can do.
