Well we all read the article of Avinash putting on weight for CB season-2, but I don't see his weight gain any real advantage to the role he is given...for a college guy he need not be heavy, at home he is an errand boy to Maheshwari, part servant to other nasty members of the family, an adopted child to begin with, so which way the extra weight is justified? I love Dev's character, but he is kind of looking big on the screen, could not figure out what CVs have in mind with his extra weight...except to show the difference a thinner, leaner Dev in CB and a heavier, muscular Dev in CB2?? what has that to do with the role he is given?

Good question....Not once he was shown going to college..But where is the need to put on weight even for that purpose....Creatives must be having something else in their mind about Dev,s character but later on would have changed their mind

I think he looks good ..😳..In CB1 in the beginning he was fitted ,with his musles and looked good..Even in Cb2 he looks nice and fitted ..but I think his weight wil start fadding away ..especially after working around the clock with busy schedules...Its good that he has weight on , he looks fitted and not fat .....I dont mind seeing him in anyway 😍 ..And dont forget he is the next RAj Purohit so he has to be more fitted and looking responsible 😊

Personally, Dev does not look like a college kid at all. He looks far too matured. I suspect he has naturally put on weight (all the dairy products in the US perhaps?!!!) and he was just finding an excuse for it. Dev, if you had actually put on weight for the show, my apologies. But if you have not, perhaps you might like to shed a couple of kilos, not that you are not looking good ...you are... but before more kilos come on perhaps you might like to watch what you eat and perhaps go back to the gym if you are slacking off. Happens to the best of us. I have been meaning to say this for sometime and i am glad i got an opportunity to do so.
Coming to the other part - his role in the family - or even for the show for that matter - I feel that his character is lacking in some ways - his role in the family is rather like an errand boy, and he appears to be adopted rather than being one of the purohit family boys. This puts a different skew on this. According to the astrologers or whathaveyou, things will be put right when the Choti Bahu joins the family. If that be the case, then Radhika has to marry one of the purohit boys, in this case, Rohan (think thats the name), then where does this take us - even if there is a switcheroo of grooms and Radhika marries Dev in actuality at the Rohan wedding and it remains a secret, the fact is, that Radhika will still not be the Choti Bahu and things will not come right in the purohit family. So how does that make Radhika the Choti Bahu...unless there is some deep dark secret about Dev's blood ties with the purohit family.

Was wondering the same..Avi in his interviews touted to be college boy and for that he put on some weight which again is different from norm...but here i dont see any purpose of him gaining those extra flab. Its just Cvs who think in CB1 lean dev wud be different from lil bulky Dev so audience wud buythis whole characterization fifference😕 but instead they could hav worked on his character sketch but i see nothing in that space just a smiling gullible innocent person (which means dumb too as per CVs)...Avi wud loose those extar kilos with hectic work schedule but what is more bothering is his character..develop that pls..

I am more worried about Dev's characterization......they should be thinking of adding more weight to his character. This child like innocence is ok for the time being around Radhika but a guy who is around 23 and who has been working full time and carrying all the responsibilities on his shoulder...... who is respected by the Mahants for his sense of duty and who could read Radhika in the boat scene and talk to her to divert her mind cannot be child like always.......he should be pretty astute. So the creatives hopefully will think twice before dumbing him down.

As for the physical appearance, I think that the story might have changed from how it was initially conceptualized.........
