Laxmi I do understand your perspective.
I think it was JC who had said in an earlier post that Atharv always reacts to what he physically sees around him. Yes he loves Vivi and trusts her completely but right now everything he is seeing like the photos and the letters are contradicting whats in his heart.
For him to assume that Vivi chose Ravish over him though, I feel is completely out of character. But perhaps he has convinced himself that Vivi does love R and not him, so perhaps this is clouding his judgement.
However, the one thing I cant get over is him not following Vivi. THAT is completely out of character. He knows how dangerous it can be, that she could be harmed yet he was willing for her to go on her own. I know this is a liberty taken by the cv's for the Manali track, but they have completely disregarded is character here. Atharv, who became frantic with worry when Vivi went missing last time, would never let her go off like this on her own.
And it seems he will go after Vivi and Ravish because Suman was taunting him about R looking after him when he needed it.
It's just disappointing.
laxmi & whispa,
you both have mentioned some valid points about atharv. as laxmi said along side the plotting by KK, atharv's loss of memory is playing all the havoc presently.
my take is that the vividha that he last remembers is a naive and simple girl. the girl who always wanted her father's consent for everything, who would not take independent decisions. the girl now he is seeing is some one who has grown very strong and one who stands by her commitment. although the seeds were sown by him, the seed from germinating to growing in to deep rooted tree is something he did not witness with his senses. so though he loves her, the matured woman that she turned into, the clarity with which she be able to see the things, is something he is unable to relate to her yet. also, during the party scene vividha finally makes friends with ravish and promises to standby her commitment, again which atharv has not witnessed. hence he is construing her commitment as love and choice.
whispa, as to atharv not going after vivi is already mentioned by him at ajmer only. he says it to uma that if she chooses to go with ravish he will never see her face ever again. hence, he now don't want to go. superficially it may seem as he has turned insensitive towards vivi. but i think, he knows that if he sees her again it will be impossible for him not to crave for her and that may put her into further guilty. which he don't want. the mistake his father made is something that keeps him always alert and he don't want to go weak.
having said that, i have a parallel from phase 2 to quote here. atharv's not going after vivi is exactly like her seeing him in her room and never believing his presence. like uma, dadi, ravish & all made her believe that she is being delusional. during this time we always wondered why she is not reacting as we wanted her to react, even after evidences like, rudraksh, his bite mark etc. it's finally on the KC night she realises that he is actually there. she then connects the dots and understands that he is at her home only. but still it takes a molestation track for her to finally come face to face with him. so i am assuming, atharv also presently in the same state, not believing the things around him the way he should have. remember, he is hit in the head repeatedly. but immediately back to normalcy he was intelligent coz he thought his 'family' is with him. but this shock of losing vivi is making him not see through the sense.
