Shanti- It was applicable if it was Angad but It's Akshat you see,Expecting all this "instant" reaction from him is too much to ask for.😆M looks at him as it's only support where Akshat knows what others thinks of her yet doesn't know he's the only one whom she needs,He is as good as a kid😆
He knows he is afraid of loosing & the only time you get to learn about it when he broke down.
He knows others can be better than him but he'll give them takkar till he can or until he wins.
He knows he doesn't know how to act in love n that's why may be he doesn't know the art of love yet.
He's the only character on the show who does mistakes & learn,who 1st hurts others & then regret/hurt himself.
So this totally new feeling of him will be a totally character change for him.He never got to discover himself,in this process he'll discover the real him.
He never thought there 'd be a day jab usko social status ke bare mein farak shikhna padegha..
He just loved but didn't know it comes with pain & hurdles too.
I'm way too much sure that he'd do many mistakes in this exam/s of Dc (Like we do in our exams),he'll be confused how to ans,How to solve,as in he'll hurt Meenu,May be jaghda be karle but the day when he'll realize that his ego is very small infront of Meenu,he'll pass that day.
The stuff about him what we are witnessing it's nothing but the Akshat who is much unaware about many aspects of life,Be it about others or himself.
Atleast,that's how I see.
