Stereotypes, comparisons, competitions- Epi in nutshell

Yesterday's epi gave more shades to Meher's character. First linear thinking. In other words she has certain thought processes which she thinks is right or rather I would say a person who would prefer to go with majority view. Her speech on Socialist Vs Capitalist prove that. She believes the rich people have time to party, they come to college for time pass, to trouble genuine students, their friendships are just show offs etc etc..
And according to her if you are studying you only need to study, no friends, no light moments and of course no luxuries. Yes it is true to some extent that we should not lose sight of the goal. But that doesn't mean you have to be emotionally detached. Problem with Meher type individuals is that,they give up so much to reach the height of their career which inturn makes them bitter inside. Having not enjoyed the best years of their life in the right way, they will feel anyone enjoying the life is wasting their time. They define their life with marks, grades, trophies and scholarships. And over time become egoistic and have superiority complex that where they are because of their own effort. Meher suffers from all this.
She treats life as a competition, a competition in which she has to win. I wouldn't blame her completely for her attitude. It might have been moulded by her father's neglect of her mother. Her mother's quite suffering accepting that this is a woman's fate. She doesn't want to accept what other's tell as woman's fate and the same competition mentality and trust deficit because of her father would have played havoc in her married life too.
Another shade came out when she decides to offer nissar a new time slot. Her intention was right, but execution wrong. This girl simply doesn't know to manage relations. Her EQ is very very low. Again the problem happens because of the broken relations in her house. Yesterday epi showed her house as dysfunctional. Her bro treats her a money minting machine, but doesn't approve her personality. He adores his jiju. She could have of course given Nissar a new time slot. But in a better manner. Without hurting Abeer. Without implanting the doubt in his mind that she is splitting the 2 friends. She had the opportunity. When they were in the car as friends she could have causally bought the topic after nissar ended his song. Sasha would have supported and it would have been done much nicely in a personal environment than a professional environment.
Meher needs to grow up a lot. I still see a deprived and furious girl somewhere inside her. And Abeer needs to understand this vulnerability, this insecurity about her than find fault with every of her actions. Agreed on the surface it is hurting him as he seems to be a emotional person, but then he has also not understood his wife completely.

firstly,won't deny it,was waiting for ur post from last night itself😉.

U analysed meher beautifully shruti.Everything meher does,she can't be blamed entirely.its due to her dad,her broken relations,her mindset which makes her a person with a very low EQ.She is furious of everything.And she actually required a partner who understands her more than herself,and she landed up with a hot-headed,egoistic[though quite adorable.] person like abeer😆.

But for a person like meher,she's a bit easy on her bro,which should not be the case.emotionally she's weaker than her mom,but to the world,she puts up a mask resembling her bua.like in one of the past epis,her mom mentions to abeer's mom,meher cries silently in the night,tearing off her mask.abeer,the memories haunt her.she doesn't want to accept it,but she needs abeer's emotional support atleast.but she shrugs off the thought,in her eyes,abeer is immature and impulsive,which he actually is.

Surprisingly,in all those years of love and marriage,abeer never understood meher.and we are being told their story from his POV.like meher said y'day,he gives too much importance to himself.we need more fbs to see why he blames meher this much.he's hurt at her rejection and indifference.but he can't stop loving or caring for her.and both are not at all able to move on,and we don't want that anyways,hai na??

ps:
can't imagine the situation if a kid is involved in this royal,emotional mess😆[as suggested by old articles.].if at all there's a kid,abeer's irresponsible and carefree nature might be one of the reasons meher is hiding him/her.but maybe that's where abeer might surprise meher,being a wonderful dad to their kid,he won't be what his father was to him and what her father was to meher.these two are so much emotionally broken and egoistic that they need a strong pushing force to be together,and what's better than their kid??[CVs are u listening??].

Thanks Ratna for the appreciation. It makes all the worthwhile to write a post when you have readers waiting😃 Coming to your point. Yes story is told from Abeer's POV and it is in that POV we viewer's need to understand where they both went wrong or maybe they both also needs to understand where they went wrong.
Abeer is happy go lucky and I would say a girl like Meher actually needs that. Someone who lets go of things. Someone who might be a maverick, but can be the perfect cushion to her tears if she is willing to shed her mask of emotional detachment. Rather than finding fault with his easy going ways, if she had spend time in giving that nature of his the correct direction maybe things would have been different.
Abeer treats her a rock which unfortunately she is not, she is a tender coconut. Hard from outside, but then sweet from inside. He is yet to see her sweetness.
And Meher treating her brother. Well that is another problem. They believe because they spend their life in struggle their near and dear ones should not struggle. Wrong approach. Struggle should be given to every individual. And Meher's bua I would say people like her are the biggest bane. Instead of trying to understand why the boy is scoring low marks( It could be lack of interest in the subject to lack of aim to other things like drugs, social media and gf) and give proper counseling to correct it, she just compares the boy with Meher. The boy can become a big rebel for sure and bring more problems to Meher and family.

I somewhere agree to you. Yes, Meher has a very stereotypical mindset. She comes from a small town , from a middle class family and is always focussed into building up her career and so she stays away from friends. Her speech included how rich brats only know how to party which is just 50% true, some rich students are equally intelligent too.
But we will see how Abeer transforms her as later she will have friends in college , Sasha as her best friend, Nisaar as a friend and Abeer as boyfriend, lets see. Also then she will be seen enjoying her life and studying too, balancing both sides.
Yes, even I felt the way she brought up the Nisaar thing was a little awkward. She could have done it properly, as you mentioned, if she had brought up the news in the car , she would have got Abeer's POV too , that would have made Nisaar feel okay about leaving Abeer.

Yes Rish rich kids are also intelligent. Also note one point Abeer brought up. Because of donations made by rich people like her get scholarships. Though it is a tongue in cheek comment actually it is a fact.
Also people doesn't know rich kids problems as it is different from normal roti, kapada, makan. Many rich kids grew up in the shadow of their parents, with very high expectations. Little thought is given to their personal needs in the name of family name, fame etc.. ( It is different in the case of spoilt brats, I am talking about others) and have to compromise a lot emotionally to meet the expectations of their family whether professionally or personally. Abeer to some extend belong to that category where at home he is unable to meet his father's expectation.

true that , Abeer's father wants him to join hi business but Abeer's passion lies in music, he must have had a tough time just like Varun's character in SOTY !

I liked how you described meher's character.
About meher bringing nisaar on a new time,its a good decision his talent alshould also come infront of people,I didn't find anythibg wrong in her way of bringibg it up,her intentions were not to break a friendship.
About abeer he always finds something wrong in every thing that meher does or do.
The main point here is we know the story from only abeer's POV till now we are clueless on what happened from meher's side.
Thatz what I don't like,we should know story from Both POV's rather than focus bieng shifted to only one person's POV.
Abeer and Meher both lacks the maturity level in some aspects of thier life.

Shruti,would luk forward to reading ur episode analysis and replies everyday. For meher,abeer is carefree,immature and for him,she is a rock.then why did he marry ms.rock??I guess locking both of them in a room would be a great solution LOL.like mehers mom said,'pyaar na sahi,par ladayi karke ek dusre ke saath tho reh sakte hain'.mehers bro issue,seems like abeer would have to step in.
Waisey,no comments on the ps in my post.

@mysticalwaters I didn't say what she did was wrong, but the way she did was wrong. Since working in a corporate environment for the past 11 years of my life we are taught 2 things when we move up in the corporate ladder. Relationship management and Conflict management. It's a different thing what Abeer think is not right. But Meher is aware of the conflict that can arise, she is also aware of the personal relation between the 2 friends. So if she was a good manager she would have taken the decision in a neutral environment involving both parties so that she diffuses the chance for Abeer to create any problem either professionally or personally.
See Abeer's POV comes because he is telling the story as the script have kept the FB woven with Abeer's role as VJ. Somewhere I am sure Meher's POV will also come

@ratna your heart always takes you to the right person, but to understand you have to shed your ego. Meher needed a emotional person to balance her out and Abeer needed a person who should fine tune his easy going ways so that he doesn't lose control of his life. But to understand that there needs to be a lot of give and take in the relationship , especially the part where you know the aspects of your partner which you don't agree or which you don't like. This is the point where more marriages break as it is the biggest hurdle. The ones who manage to cross this hurdle will always have a stable relation.
