part 2
With kriya, once the relationship started, rey remained pretty much the same- expecting attention , screaming his head off at the smallest of things like tumne mujhe shivam ke baare mein nahin bataya etc., ( he was cute then ) While it was true that it was bcoz he wanted to be completely involved in kriya s life, it also spoke of his need to be the first in her life while he didn't mind being second best to her- when she told him irritated by his irrational words main kyun aapki har baat sunoo. Main nahin sunoongi. Aap yahin chahthe ho ki main jhukhoo aape saamne , he had no problem jhukking in front of her( he bent on his knees remember) and letting her know that she came first. His ego was on its way out by then...but with kriya out of his life, his hurt heart created a shell insulating itself from further touch and maintained his wounded self esteem by creating a bigger ego than he had before.
Now he had to be right, he had to be perfect everytime. And anyone who didn't agree to his POV of right had to be wrong. Additionally he s considered as someone who s right by most ppl-( har koi mujhe right ke liye responsible samajtha hain) and in the process he considers himself as being responsible for everything that happens to him/ to those around him. while he has the strength of mind to handle stuff, when it does happen that things go wrong , he takes more blame than what is his due ,hurting his ego a lot more than whats required. As was happening with BB match track.
Rey s inability to verbalise or at times his unwillingness to talk it out perhaps also stems from the fact that he wants to maintain the same picture . Swayam knows this tendency of his -- Remember post mitwaa sequence, swayam tells Sharon hes going to meet rey as rey thinks he has to be the savior all the time but would at the moment be confused and maybe thats why rey can communicate with him better.
Back to present and hes stuck with taani...

thanks for the replies/views
for those who havent watched rey before taani -rey, sorry if it seems unconnected but rey had been so interesting for me since the time ive been watching d3 that ...well...cant seperate KR rey from TR rey. 😊
but im glad that so many of us feel the complicated aspects in rey s character.
Must say, I really like your analysis 👏 I don't really know what to add because you've pretty much summed up Rey's character in this post! I'll just add my 2 cents though 😳
You make a valid point that we can't separate the Rey with Kriya from the Rey with Taani. Both are equally important in understanding Rey's character. But yes...Rey is still Rey...not much has changed except maybe one can say that he has become more vulnerable than before post Kriya and that has had an impact on how he is with others and how he handles situations. And right now that is evident with his messy handling of Taani.
Indeed the ego has perhaps inflated more than before 😆 and it's quite telling from the way Rey speaks and what he thinks at times. But the ego and arrogance - although they were always present...have become more prominent ever since Kriya's departure. And the fact that there isn't much progress between him and Taani has given him the perfect opportunity to hide behind all of this. Rey has found love again...but he is unable to remove that mask.
