I realised today with a faulty hero. My adoration to a frictional character cannot go beyond my prejudice. Some people are trying to view Kabir's slip from point of view, some expecting Shreya's conspiracy behind it, all finding hard to criticise Kabir. Common conclusion is, they love Kabir because he is not ideal as other heroes. He is more real, relatable. Really? You accept such a person without questions in real?
Swimming against the tide has its own fun. So let me ask, what stops us from empathising with Shreya more than Kabir? Shreya being a new entry and KaYa the established couple? After all, I am a flipflopper. I don't mind jumping from KaYa ship to Richa/Shreya/Anita ship whatever, if need be.

Don't know what is haunting me. Is it the gossip about my favourite actress's married life going rough? I was questioning myself then. How did she believe a two time divorcee? When in real I criticise her love, can I accept Ananya's love because It is fiction? So we don't mind if the fictional characters cheat, if they are our favourites?

Kabir harbours a feeling, Shreya did not love him as what he was. Instead, she wanted to make him as someone else. In reality, it was Shreya who fell in love with Kabir when he was a nobody. Ananya loved him, when he was her EIC. (I don't know whom Ananya loved and worshipped for 8 years. She does not seem to know anything about kabir. I think, she just loved that piece of paper).

Shreya had insecurities. Despite marriage, she was not sure, whether Kabir loved her or not. She rightly pointed to Ananya, the Kabir she knows and Ananya's Kabir are different. We all agree. Kabir has changed himself a lot for Ananya, which he probably had never done for Shreya. It is just the fact that, he did not fall in love with Shreya, as in the case of Ananya. (We try to change ourselves for the one we love). Earlier, he loved the feeling of being loved. So he forced himself to love Shreya and both ended up with a mess.

We might say, Shreya was an insecure woman who jumped into marriage. Kabir had not agreed for it whole heartedly. Ananya also had insecurities with Kabir's past. Initially I felt, she was just being stubborn not to listen to his past. But recently I watched her when her mother raised the question, "After all, why did they divorce?". She felt uneasy to face the fact, they were comfortable with each other once before. She could not digest the fact when she saw Tarini and Kabir together in hospital. How should Shreya react for ONS?

Lastly, what is there with Kabir Sharma which makes all ladies go week in their knee? A rich girl who has everything falls for this middle class boy, a girl who is a victim of his drunken state cannot stop herself from being his friend, a company owner's daughter leaves her boyfriend for him, an young girl who is ready to ignore all this and blindly fall in love and lastly a large female audience who are ready to admit him with all his flaws saying he looks real. Really? I am angry with Mr. Rajeev Khandelwal, who has made all thinking brains loose their rationalities. Rajeev, you are such a good salesman. People are ready to buy, even if you sell hair drier as a hand fan.

See the problem is that we always expect our heroes and heoines to be ideal and as soon as they depict flaws and start resembling reality we start to criticize them...


Just think...


Kabir is such a strong person who can go to any extent for the truth since the start of his profession.. what must have made him so damn miserable that he himself was forced to break a barrier because trust me Kabir is not a guy who would easily given in and make a mistake... It must have been a very difficult situation for him...

He is one guy who would try to mend things every possible way but just think how badly Shreya might have destroyed him bit by bit constantly making his entire world come apart...


Im not justifying what he did was right.. it was WRONG but...

BUT

please try to accept a realistic character who resembles the mistake many educated men of our society make...this show has always shown a level of reality going against the "perfect ideal" leads and created perceptions that people can relate to...

Its our fault that we thought Kabir was perfect because we never read between the lines... he never brought Tarini in front of people for clarification about them because he knew somehow he was guilty and he always will be...

Tarini is on his side because she had witnessed a totally broken him on that night... she knows just exactly what kind of situation Kabir was in that is why she never hated him for spoiling her life and instead supported him...

Everyone in the show who is really important has a past Kabir, Ananya/ Anita and Tarini...


Different people...different stories of their life...simple as it...

Who are we to judge without being in their shoes?


And if Ananya can accept him wh cant we give him a chance? Especially after knowing that it was his wife who compelled him to take such a drastic step...

Best part is that Ananya toh shuru se knew about Tarini in his life...she was jealous at first because she thought the man she loved was in love with someone else but as soon as he confessed she placed implicit faith in him that he would never cheat on her because she does not have any "ulterior" motive in their relationship and as we have seen all the way... Kabir can handle all kinds of tantrums thrown by Ananya "khushi khushi"" without any problem... that reflects the fact that Shreya "just" didnt throw tantrum but did a totally different kind of harm to his being...


Why cant he get a second chance when he himself is NOT justifying what he did and he still "after so many years" feels guilty the same way about what he did... he is ashamed of himself but he cannot do anything to change what has been done... he can only try to improve which we all can visibly see he is...


And considering the fact that he DID NOT want to fall for Ananya at any point in time because he knew his life was scarred however when he did confess to her, his first ever step was to tell the truth about his past to Ananya before their relationship even started...

What kind of a man who doesnt repent what he did would try to be honest with the girl he loves? Only a genuine person right?


Kabir is a person with his own set of flaws and he never denies being that...he made his set of mistakes and has learnt from it and he is trying his level best to do things honestly and lead a normal life which he deserved from his first marriage but was refused to be given by Shreya...

Why doesnt he deserve a girl who loves him "for what he is" and who can take away all the pain which was given to him without being at fault?

I agree with most of what you say. But Rajeev is just and actor. who portrays that character of Kabir. It's the directors of the show, who shapes the characters.

Sorry, I never expected Kabir to be and ideal person. I was happy he was real. A real person does have highs and lows.

But if real person commits such a thing (a mistake or a sin), he also won't be spared. So there is no extra anger or extra concession for Kabir.


Just think...

This is where I was disappointed with Kabir. A guy who could face big giants of industry could not face his inner demons. He should have faced the fact, they are in a loveless relation. Should have told Shreya pointed blank and left that relation. That would have been true Kabir Sharma style. He committed a mistake, admitted boldly and walked off. Dragging oneself to miserable conditions and blaming others for the condition there are in, suits the weak minded. Not gutsy people like Ananya or Kabir who went on to face Baagis. I felt a little disappointed with Ananya too, when she delayed to hear his past. She was the one who daringly challenged the Baagis, "come and hurt me". Why hesitation to confront the truth?


Im not justifying what he did was right.. it was WRONG but...

BUT

Whatever the ifs and buts are... I can buy all arguments. But still can't get convinced. May be majority of the forum thinks the opposite. But my funda is simple... "What is not right" is wrong.

I know, Ananya accepted him, without a single word. But I am not Ananya. I think for today, I have joined old Richa's team. 😆 Let me see, how CVs can convince me.

Best part is that Ananya toh shuru se knew about Tarini in his life...she was jealous at first because she thought the man she loved was in love with someone else but as soon as he confessed she placed implicit faith in him that he would never cheat on her because she does not have any "ulterior" motive in their relationship and as we have seen all the way...

I am aware, Kabir is a character portrayed by Rajeev. He has performed it so well.. hence the frustration. 😆 (My first post was not a hate post).

dont come to conclusion so soon.. story is still not folded yet completely.. we dont know story from Tarini's side yet.. It doesn't look from her side if it was any guilt... infact she is the one who suffered most.. she lost her job, no body can marry her after such humiliation and now she is dependent on Kabir for her brother.. it was Kabir's mistake but she could have stop him..it looks more like one sided love from her side.. when she realized Kabir only consider her best friend, she might decided not to express her feelings thinking she doesn't want to loose her friend.. who knows... thats just assumption... but before coming to conclusion may be we need to wait and watch.. 😊
Also how can someone hate such a talented actor yaar... every time when i see him on screen, i fall in love with him..😳 he is not only versatile actor but also good human being ..but you need to watch his all interviews on youtube...
It is bit difficult to portray Kabir's complex character.. I would say Rajeev did 100%.. Also he is just an actor who is doing acting as director says...😊
