Difference is his flawed-ness is seen as unacceptable by us and the fans think otherwise..something that can be redeemed by his soul wala love for akshu..
You know, it really is hard to believe otherwise. It's definitely not subtle. So it must be intentional.
Abhimanyu is an odd duck character - the only explanation is he truly has become a deewana in the literal sense because of his love. And if so, you're right the portrayal can't be faulted but man, it's so tough to digest that character...
So, question - if the first tilak hadn't gone so horribly wrong and he and Akshu had got married without any of the drama, would his personality have stabilized? Keeping in mind that he went nuts basically from the point he drew that heart with that AA in it and then ran like a madman and threw himself down a bunch of steps (an inexplicable choice by the writers considering where Akshu's trauma comes from😲)
