Furthermore he was unable to move on as he didn't have a supporting influence in his life (Milind moved on because of Prachi's love). His mother uses him for money, his father is a murderer, his wife is mad. Who does he have really? In such circumstances any man would find it hard to move on. Milind on the other hand has a loving family, and a doting wife. Furthermore, I think Neevs there when you need him to be, for example during the Sukriti-Saket marriage, instead of being broody he supported them. I see him as a complex character who is what he is today by his circumstances. Yes he broods and clearly needs to brood him - but I cannot attribute it to his being childish. If he were childish - he would be more like Ayesha - he would try to break up Milind and Prachi's marriage. But he didn't.
Nobody is denying that Neev had been wronged. But how does he react to the circumstances? That is what matters. He has still not displayed anything to show that he is man enough to deal with the circumstances. As to his supporting Saket and Sukruti that again displays his childishness. He thinks that by performing their marriage clandestinely their problem would be solved. He is so short sighted that he does not realise that it would only complicate matters. He knows that Suki's father is ailing. He knows that Suki's brother is very protective of his sister and will not take such a thing lying down. If suki's father had died of shock, Neev would have to pray for his safety because Milsi will come on him hard. And does he have it in him to protect himself or fight back? Like kids, he feels everything is about him. When he opens his mouth all he does is complain about his life.
And as to Milsi having a loving family to help move on, that is so not true. He had a sister who herself needed help. An ailing father who he had to take care. The only love of his life who broke away for her revenge plans. So no hope there. His wife was loving, yes. But he could not trust her because she comes from the Shah family which had betrayed his trust. Ayesha was also feeding him a lot of lies against her. Since he knew Ayesha longer than he did Prachi, he tended to believe her first. But one cant fault the guy that he did not act. He always acted. Yes, he brooded at times, cursed his destiny that he did not find love. But he also put in his efforts to find it once he realised that there could be something. He went in the rains to get Prachi that saree. He introduced her with pride to his friends. He showed her how much he appreciates her small gesture like buying him a shirt.
Neev, on the other hand, is not even bothered to take the opportunities that are presenting themselves. He did not even bother to visit Ayesha at the hospital when he heard about the attempted suicide. Granted she had behaved really abominably towards him. But as a fellow human being who has lived with her for nearly four months he could have shown some concern. Why go so far, while he was concerned for Prachi, he did not even bother about Ayesha in the independence day party when they both got burns. He still keeps taunting Prachi that she left him for money. He was so dumb enough to buy that arguement (after living with her for 20 odd years) and keeps throwing this back at her every opportunity he gets. Now that is really childish to me.
Milsi on the other hand has never brought up Ayesha's betrayal every time she tells him he is hers. He could have easily told her that she is suffering because of her own decision to leave him. He does not do that. He does not open up old wounds. After his initial anger against her and his vindictiveness in wanting to show her what she lost by being close to Prachs, his vendetta got forgotten down the line. That exhibits his childlike quality. & nbsp;
