I really didn't have any soft corner for Ali's love towards avni infact when Ali was manipulated against avneil I felt happy seeing him heartbroken and jealous seeing avneil bond in this scene below I thought he deserved for joining hands with sapola gang
but today I'm rewatching this scene I really felt bad for Ali I felt for a sec how pure and true Ali's love has been for Avni I agree CVS have given us ali-avni as friendship goals by not making Ali as Avni's love interest post leap but still I realised how selfless is Ali's love and friendship for Avni even when was manipulated he didn't thought harming Avni even for a second
It's his selfess love that made him peace with the fact that
Avni loves Neil and not him
This reminded me of ae Dil hain mushkil movie where Ali is Ranbir who loves Avni madly from childhood that even without
Seeing her knowing that whether she was alive or dead remained loyal to his love Avni for 15 years it was Ali who didn't need evidence to prove that it's his Avni he felt just by her mere presence that it's her Ali was able to recognise the voice of Avni in a call which came from unknown number about his missing friend Neil though he heard her voice 15 years ago
According to me Ali is the best character not butchered till now in NK I would say even his jealousiness once he had once was irking avneil fans including me but its actually a emotion of normal humann being no person who loves as deeply and truly like Ali would instantly accept the fact that the girl he loved is married to someone and she loves him the way CVS had sketched and shaped Ali's character is the best thing of NK besides other characters like neelama avneil etc..
The praiseworthy thing is how Ali is helping even Neil not just Avni as he realised what place Neil holds in Avni's life Ali is ready to sacrifice his life and put effort to help whenever they are in need
Hats off CVS only for giving us Ali and for sparing us without butchering him till now and atleast giving us one character worth of holding a special place in our hearts and minds from NK as a memory in future to cherish
