@bold - Appu, that's exactly the point I was trying to make...yes, Sameer will now see the person behind the name Rohan... but again why should Sameer be needed to see? Isn't it time the Somanis saw who Sameer is? Isn't that what this really should be about... they have all these prejudices and preconceived notions about him because his upbringing is not like Rohan... Isn't it time for them to see that upright, good, caring, mature and responsible adults can be brought up another way? Isn't that what this track should be about... to open Vishaka's eyes to the mistake she has been committing by blindly listening to the Somanis?
This is what I was trying to say earlier... I don't want the CVs to show that Rohan's upbringing has made him all good while Sameer starts looking bad. That would be too cliche... and that would also show that Somanis are right... so the CVs need to keep Rohan neutral while positively reinforcing Sameer's nature and highlighting his strengths... that;s the only way this track can work. Otherwise how will Sameer emerge as the hero and also prove his Nanu's trust and pride in him was not misplaced? The way I see it, this should be the reason for this track and not show Rohan as some God.
@bold - how can Sameer feel anything but dislike for his mother ?
Nivi, going back to this question... when Sameer shows them what the mature Sameer is like, Vishaka will automatically show more care towards him. Call it what you like, but that's how she knows to love... its conditional. Maybe because that's what she receives from Somanis... be a good mother and wife and you will be loved. She practices the same with Sameer and so far because Sameer rebelled against establishment they kept getting pushed apart. She would not understand when Nanu tried to explain to he that Sameer was different and he had to be brought up in a different manner... so really this track should be an eye opener for her to not judge someone by their upbringing but by their nature and personality.
We have seen how Sameer reacts when someone shows some real care towards him... he will do more for them... I feel that's the only way the distance between mother son can be bridged. Added to this I would like Rohan to question Vishaka about many things and force her to start thinking... to me that should be Rohan's role initially, because he is a neutral observer and does not have any past dealings with Sameer, so he will be able to see Sameer with fresh eyes that none of the others can. And slowly helping Sameer at a later point because he slowly feels Sameer has been wronged and is continued to be wronged...
