Yaar, how are Akshu and Abhi so bright-eyed and fresh faced the morning after chugging down a bottle of desi daaru as their first alcoholic beverage when my bheja is still fried from a few cocktails and champagne on NYE (and I'm not even a sanskari teetotaller ladki😆)??
Yesterday's episode cleared up a lot of things for me and I'm not going to make fun of poor Jijaji anymore. It turns out Abhi is a 13 year old in the (fabulous) body of a mature man.
He has NEVER had a drink before (not in college, not in medical school, not in social functions, not to alleviate the pit of despair and frustration that has been his life). He can't even tell the difference between a soft drink and alcohol. Bahut masoom hai yeh banda!
His maa still buys his shirts! That's why they're so tightfitting - in her mind, he is probably still a baccha. Size theek se pata bhi nahi kiya hoga raita mata ne...
He's fixated on the bad 90s Bollywood songs from when he was an actual teenager.
(BTW was some new movie being promoted in a clumsy way in yesterday's episode - it was so weird... but hey maybe now Abhi can update his musical references!)
Bechara Abhi! This is why he has all the social graces and EQ of an awkward teenage boy in love for the first time - no boundaries, lots of emo crying, fighting with daddy, cuddling with mummy, getting into brawls, listening to generic bass-thumping music, being a jerk to the girl he's crushing on, PG13 romantic dreams, inability to handle situations logically and calmly... Notice what game he has in his room - not chess, not backgammon, he has a mini TIC TAC TOE board!
He's a mental adolescent, my friends - shayad koi Freaky Friday situation main phas gaya hoga🤣
