Ok, since all this discussion about Aditya, and I have seen it from the beginning (I don't know how), I would also like to add my views about it. M, has already added the deets about the storyline so will not venture into that, but why I find Aditya problematic I would like to say.
So basis the portrayal by GM, Aditya is a workaholic who is proud of his journalist credo and has little time for love or family. I on the other hand have always viewed him as a sociopath. He has this weird anti-social attitude where he has zero feelings for his family, I mean nothing. What is viewed as khadoos or aloof is antisocial. In his relationship with Malini, also there is too much formality for a 7-year relationship. I mean 7 year relationship me who call you Aap bro. Woh to ab tak tu or tum ho jata hai.
In PD, he struts around the village like he owns the place. I have always felt that apart from Satyakaam, he has no regard for any other person in the village. He actually treats PD people as some clowns for his personal entertainment, even Imlie. For an objective serious journalist, who has come to cover a rebel leader in PD, he is very judgemental and narrow minded.
Post his marriage with Imlie, came out his real character and another trait of being a sociopath - an irresponsible and reckless man. A man who projected his hostile behavior on a teen who was also forced into this relationship. A man who speaks so vocally about honesty and straight forward life could not apply in his communication in a 7-year relationship. A man who put the burden of decision making on a teen who gets emotionally carried away to take decisions of a marriage, he doesn't consider real. A man in his victim portrayal consistently made Imlie question her self worth, who made her feel like dust, and even called her the same compared to Malini. I thought it would subside over time, but seeing that same behavior for 30 plus or more episodes, just had me infuriated.
Post getting shot to protect him, Aditya was actually awed that someone took a bullet for him. And so his blocked out humanity suddenly revived in him. A girl who is passing out asks him to remove the sindoor from her head and he goes through with it, OMG. Is that a time to even consider all this. I would have said just shut up, will handle the rest. Its mighty ridiculous.
Aditya was floored by Imlie's steadfast loyalty, her ability to endanger her life for him and also keep secrets for him and worship him. These are classic narcissist behavior. Imlie ko to dimaag nahi, to understand this at 19. But Aditya is this. And so Aditya did not want to lose all this he followed her to PD. There 2-3 supposed good actions won Imlie over, and she was bowled by her husband.
Then followed his chori chupke pyaar which was like getting too complex to handle with Malini around. It became unmanageable to watch Malini attempting to work this marriage and Aditya showing his incapacity to make decisions for his and Imlie's relation and leaving Imlie to decide who is an already established emotional fool.
After a year of allowing Imlie to take decisions for this God forsaken marriage, suddenly Imlie's concerns regarding Malini are pushed under the carpet as a teenager's jealousy, her attempts to expose Malini is disqualified as her zidd, whose humanity and morality he fell for is being questioned. Are you for real? What kind of love is this?
Sorry, I don't hate Aditya, too strong a word to waste on a fictional character. I find him unappealing and a person who actually needs mental treatment and rehab instead of pushing himself in and out of marriages. He is a narcissistic sociopath and it just turns off any sense of liking for the guy.
Now, the important part, why would I choose Aryan over Aditya and contrast between both, do you guys want to hear me out, do let me know.😆
I have to agree... I think you are slightly on the harsher side but at the very essence I agree.
AKT is an egoistic man child that has been babied for too long. The show never clicked with me before ASR's entry for two primary reasons
1. I could see no chemistry between the leads
2. The ML was an a**hole
I think in adini relationship there was never love, just really good friendship and that was apparent. Their relationship was extremely formal like you pointed out and there was no intimacy or even lover traits. Maybe Malini was in love but Adi never was.
imo he never even loved imlie only believed he did, all he wanted was that loyalty and devotion the emotional fool was giving him. That is what he found attractive.
