kizh,

absurd lows is right.

his atheism is much admired by me too. i have pondered those things too, especially the role of organised religion in anything.

i see in him a simple matter of fact facing of life as he sees it to be. and in the way he acts, his conscience, his sense of duty there's more faith belief god than i have seen in many.

i liked the fact that he lets others do their thing while clearly stating he does not believe. only in his first conversation with khushi at the dargah a mention of his disillusionment, and then that irritated challenge to her belief when she insists he is wrong...

i enjoyed the theist and the atheist finding their way to love and to living together letting each other do their own thing.

and found it most interesting that the guy with all the signs of being "good" in our culture including expressed theism was the fraud while the individualistic rather westernized man with many traits of "bad" including expressed atheism was the real deal. the message of a new man in him for our audiences i thought he was... a man whose time has come.

i have a feeling there was a writer there fed up with certain things and when he found asr he had to express his pov all the way... but oh that asr survived the world where heroes must do pooja path... that was really a lot to do with bday boy i yam thinging.

It is so sad that they let this thing slide, isn't it?
You're right, lot of thought went into it in the beginning, this was not your stereotypical serial hero. And yes, the b'day boy brought out the nuances and facets in his character, making him the man that we connect to. I think as many of us have mentioned, we are not the serial watching kinds, especially at the risk of sounding snooty, the current desi serials (many of us are fans of the doordarshan ones!). And I'm a desi, very much so!
And for us to be enamored with a serial and to be talking about it after nearly two years of it getting over is something. The boy and the girl and that khatarnaak thing they shared, had a lot to do with it. And that subtle and thoughtful writing.

🤣me super snooty and most desi... watch a serial, whattt. forget serial, most much talked about movies too i don't watch... find them boring beyond belief. would i ever be the fan of a hero type. 😆 and now i am writing long soulful numbers to a young man who will possibly collapse laughing if he met me; and writing poems; "managing" facebook (sorry fb 😆) birthday "events". and writing reams on a certain serial's episodes.

i was never too mighty, but oh i have fallen. 🤣

Use to have a gala time teasing my mom about the stuff she watches. The not mighty, never mighty, will not be mighty has fallen, hard!!!! 😆

Hindusim is essentially a way of life, following one's dharma and abiding by one's duties and responsibilities...that sense he is the most ardent theist around...

Omg, Faiqa, those edits above are spectacular.
