Okay, I have been trying to make sense of Atharv's actions today. I am going to try and give his perspective. 😛
Firstly, Atharv had given Vividha the time she asked for. It frustrates him that even after that there is residual guilt in her, which he misinterprets as love for Ravish. Why? Because of circumstantial evidence. We as viewers can say, Atharv had always promised to trust Vividha. He did. But with time the issue became more than just trust. This wasn't Atharv Sujata. This is a confused person, who is struggling with his memory and others' plots are just adding to it. From his eyes, Vividha contradicts her own words. She is clear about whom she wants, but in her heart is guilt which only Atharv sees.
He knows, but hasn't felt what she has gone through. It is almost as if he has woken up from some deep slumber and bang his world comes crashing down.
Yet he is trying. He consoles Suman and wants to go and save Ravish. And coming to the letter, Vividha had clearly written it because she felt obliged to save Ravish. But what does the sentence, " Main yaa toh Ravish ko ghar le aaungi ya phir ladte hue mar jaaungi." imply to someone who half-believes she feels for Ravish? Two things: His belief is confirmed and second because he has witnessed her power when she is determined to save something she holds dear, he trusts her to succeed.
And how can you expect him to immediately rush off behind Vividha? For him his strength has been sapped, he can barely even get his bearings. He is human as he himself said. I am waiting to know how he finally ends up going. How Vividha's Atharva rises from this confused, heart-broken person we are watching currently.
P.S. Many of you many disagree. I won't he is right. He isn't. But isn't that how even we as humans grow?
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.
