Anubhav Kulshresht - A man in unchartered territory

Character analysis

Anubhav Kulshresht had life planned. A phd in science followed by a life in academia at the government institute. He wanted to be the best in his field while being a dutiful son and ideal 'beta' of his house. Anything that did not help him achieve these two goals was a waste of time. And therefore the man never really lived.

His friends were his siblings and cousins, his social circle was limited to family and a few colleagues. Outings, partying, dating were all concepts way beyond him. Something he would never get.

Growing up in this very environment (kulshresht family) made him treasure these values, it was of the utmost importance to him that these values remain instilled in his younger sister (Chhavi) as well.

So when Gungun came knocking, with a lifestyle he had neither acknowledged nor could understand. The controlled Anubhav was unable to grapple with this change. Gungun quickly with her antics became the epitome of 'a spoilt brat ' in his mind - something he hated.

It riled him up so much that he ended up yelling at the girl at her own party. But was that the only reason?

What Anubhav also felt at every turn was a bubbling attraction. No one had quite gotten under his skin like her, no one had quite challenged him like she had. And the worst of all? he enjoyed taking this challenge up.

He can speak his mind in front of her, he is blunt and childish, and oh the pleasure he derives from their banters is unparalleled!

But the more they argue the more he understands how much he enjoys it. Gungun takes everything at face value but he? he enjoys the banter at which he puts up an annoyed front.

This new feeling was unchartered territory for Anubhav. Wanting to drop his professionalism for sarcastic remarks was never him and now he did not seem to leave an opportunity to do this. The bubbling desire to banter was constant. But the acceptance of the same was hard.

In the midst of grappling with these new feelings and struggling with accepting the fact that he might be attracted (or have a crush) on Gungun. There were times where anger would be misplaced. He would fight with Gungun, not because he was egoistic but because he felt he could. He felt comfortable enough in fighting with her, but the guilt would immediately gnaw the inside of him seeing her eyes fill with tears.

What would follow that would be a series of apologies (not 1, not 2 but 4!!!)

The uncomfortable yet constant weight at the mention of her boyfriend that made him outwardly huff with exasperation was proof of the storm brewing inside him.

@music_girl I tried

At first I thought it was a story 😆

So true as you said he could be sarcastic

I'm sure his family never saw him that sarcastic or rude... they might have never seen his dark side of the sanskaari Anubhav.

yeah! I think one of the members mentioned earlier that he was never like this with anyone but gg. They were surprised at his behaviour too.

Everyone recognizes that Annu is just acting like a little boy teasing his crush, except these 2 🤪

What a brilliant analysis! It felt like a prologue of a ff at first.😆 You are right, This feeling is really an unchartered territory for Annu. He is in his true form with GG.😆

"What would follow that would be a series of apologies (not 1, not 2 but 4!!!)"

I'll have to agree with that 😆

I know it has been repeated already, but this really seems like a part of FF or story or something. Anyway, a beautiful character analysis❤️

You cannot say you tried. Instead hold your head up high as you say I know I killed this piece because, girl, you did!

This is, by far, the best description of Anubhav Kulshreshth! ❤️

Yes, he fights because she's the only he's comfortable with and thinks he has the right too.

The four apologies (with his cute expression) is something I'm sure I'll laugh over for too long.😆

What a lovely way to decode the essence of Anubhav Kulshresth! 👏 You’re absolutely right - Anu is one way with Gungun and a completely different way with the rest of the world. She makes him do and say things that is totally contrary to his character. I said this on another thread - it would be lovely to watch him break free of the image he has carefully built over the years and live a little on the wild side sometimes.

Today I felt Anubhav concentrate more on his surroundings than something happening in front of him .

1- When Gungun was about to open his shirt's button his first reaction was to look at gate that if someone is watching.

2- When bm was applying kaala tikka he noticed US duo + Maya making fun of them.

3- In mid of the fire in his lab he noticed sharp edges and where the things are placed.

Also day before yesterday the smile and soft expression anu had for Akriti and the smile on his face today when gg was praising him and around his family has completely different vibes . I can't find exact words.
