well kiran even high working patients of autism require extensive therapy to make thm communicate with others..bt in omi's case he has never had any therapy at all i think..all he gets are the pills which by nakul's admission are not therapeuitc at all...and he is very cool talking to strangers,dressing up and going out and very change adaptive basically which autistic people are not..remember antra even after growing up used to wear the same kind of clothes and live by a fixed time table..not so in omi's case..

well laila am not an MD yet..am a general practitioner,studying for PG entrance..want to be a psychiatrist so i have studied it in quite sum detail..which is y i found the 'mental disease' issue to be a farce..and its not just karol bagh creatives..till date,except antra,nobody else has portrayed medical issues wid authenticities,forget research...its sad and annoying,esp when i know the stuff they show is pure crap and lay persons who do not know the reality end up believing it..half the time characters are just 'pagal' wid no rhyme or reason or diagnosis for tht matr..

You're a doctor to me 😊 Wishing you the best in your studies. The problem Anu is that writers in India take ZERO time in doing any research. Many of them are just friends of the director or producer and are some rich kids who come up with these ideas. Few of much in the way of life experience in my opinion. Really talented writers have a research team that takes out the time to do some work. One of my friends in the UK went to Vegas just to get a "feel" of the place when she wrote a short story - that's how much time is spent in making something authentic.

hi laila,

i really love omi.....every body has an opinion.....and so can u ....but i have seen ur posts u seem to have quite an issue withe character.....i hope its not with Ravi......i have interacted with him on face book....he is one of the most humble and grounded actors i have interacted with.....and as far as his acting skills go he is clearly trying to do justice to an extreme role....this is the best potrayal of such a role i have seen on Tv...if they cant figure out what his illness is how is it his faulT........i love the guy....i have seen him in Ranbir Rano and yahaan ke hum sikander....what he is attempting is different and tough....hats off to him.....

Now why would I have an issue with the actor himself? He might be the nicest person in the world. However, the character of Omi is still poorly written and developed and is quite an insult to the intelligence of anyone who has worked in the field of mental health. Very little effort was made to develop this character on the part of the writers. Perhaps your right, in defence of the actor's performance having been given so little to work with the best he could do was create a meek and feminine voice, a goofy smile and the excessive nodding. Perhaps if Ravi is given a part of play that would challenge is skills we might see him excel but right now the character of Omi doesn't do it. Sure Omi does some nice things, but that's about it. I find very little purpose to his character in the show and the excessive adulation given.

respect your opinion but i completely root for omi....he is fantastic.......i completely adore him....in fact maybe minus the mental problem......i'd love to have a guy as considerate as him as my man
