Just wanted to discuss some of the major parallels I noticed in today's episode between Ramnath/Nirmala & ShraMan..
Seems like the real theme of the show - Self respect VS love is coming into play finally. IMO this show was never just about 2 friends reconciling & becoming one.. that is just part 1 of the story which we've finally crossed. Now comes the second part - the real deal.
ShraMan's connect was always there even when they were apart from each other. They were out of sight, but never out of each other's mind & hearts. The love was always there. Getting to the confession is not a problem either, because its only time that they will realise their feelings for each other. The real conflict IMO has always lied in their different outlooks towards life which have been shaped by their own circumstances & prejudices.
Suman is ambitious & wants to be independent. She wants to earn money, pay off the debt that didn't let her parents live a peaceful life. Nanu wants to find a man for her who will support her in fulfilling her dreams & ambitions.. question is will Shravan be able to support her?
The answer is not that easy.
Shravan has decided to move on from the past & start afresh with Suman as a friend. But has the past been forgotten? NO. The past holds memories of his mother leaving when he needed her the most. It holds memories of Suman breaking his trust when he needed her the most. As a friend he can overlook what Suman did, but as a husband will he able to overlook what she did?
Shravan wants a woman who will never leave his side.. and today he questioned his mother's absence for the last decade.. did she ever check up on how he is doing? Parallel. Did Suman contact Shravan over the past decade?
Shravan wants a woman who will wait for him "ladkiyon ko wait karaya jaata hai" & won't think too much. Quite unlike what Suman is.. quite unlike what his mother was. Parallel.
Shravan wants a woman who isn't manipulative & a woman without an ego. Quite unlike his mother who two-timed (even though its not the truth). Quite unlike his mother who was persistent in proving herself right against Ramnath while her son lay in bed. She even left him. Quite unlike Suman who "manipulated" Ramnath & Lalaji into coaxing Shravan for marriage & did not give him his space.
Also its interesting that Ramnath noticed Suman's independence (her working which he disapproved of in the first episode) as well as her ability to balance family (Ramnath thanking Suman for taking care of Shravan).. something Nirmala was never able to do.
Shravan may love Suman from the depths of his soul.. but in his practical mind (at least until he realises his love for her) she will never be his choice because she is not the kind of life partner he is looking for. She is quite the anti-thesis of the woman he is looking for. He has truly moved on in that sense.Looking forward to see how Shravan moves past his prejudices to accept that it is Suman for him, even though she isn't the one he has been looking for. And that Suman is able to recieve the much needed love in her life without compromising her self respect.
Kyunki mil jaate hai dil jo bane.. Ek Duje Ke Vaaste❤️
