Until nanu was there, he didn't go astray... Now vishakha should seriously start guiding him... Just showering love is not enough.
@bold - Has Vishaka really even showered love on him? It was only that one time when he came back that she fed him... and only because he initiated it by saying sorry to her. Otherwise she would've given him food, told him to eat and left. Sorry, but Vishaka needs to initiate more affectionate gestures towards Sameer... she does it for the other two kids.
And from what I have seen of Sameer, if Vishaka does this everyday, shows him affection, talks to him nicely, shares things with him, Sameer will automatically stay his mature self and do well... he may not even need that so called guidance from her. Isn't that what Nanu told her to do... nurture Sameer.
And she needs to speak up and clearly tell the other two adults that Sameer was her son, and she will not hear him being demeaned... or for that matter her father demeaned like that. Because when one's parent is constantly put down in front of the child it is very hurtful... Vishaka seems to tolerate it which is wrong because that has made the Somanis more confident to utter such nonsense, but how can we expect a 17 year old to keep quiet at all times, considering the said person was the only one to love him and care about him.
So as for your question, I would say he is not bad... Yet! But negligence and lack of affection can completely turn him to the wrong side. He is already feeling bored and lonely, if he starts feeling that he is unwanted and useless, he may end up self destructing... after all he would fell that no one needs him, right?
