I have loved HC but he always ends up playing these spoilt, entitled, self-victimising manchildren in every show, maybe, barring his first show and Saubhagyavati bhava.
Lord, this one takes the cake tho. An actor of this calible doesn't deserve a pathetic character like Abhimanyu.
I swear, Shahi saw Kabir Singh and thought of making a Barjatiya version of it for itv— casting a 24 y/o opposite a 38 y/o that too.
Let's romanticise gaslighting, stalking, and emotional manipulation of a woman to make her accept her "unrealised feelings." Let's sell this pathetic, bordernline criminal story to impressionable teenagers who would move heaven and earth to defend the hot ML's abusive behaviour.
It is Abhi's creepy characterisation that put me off Abhira from the very beginning. I only started catching some epis after Jay's entry. It is disgusting that Shahi won't make Navra the endgame just to show that women can never move on from abusive relationships and pass it off as "one true love."
The only realistic character in this show is Kairav; his misbehaviour with Akshara notwithstanding.
