Today's episode felt like dragfest.. filler episode..
Hence, thoughts are mixed highlights of recent episodes:
Ruhi, Abhir and house:Abhir shows her tent house to Ruhi. They are sitting in confined space. Ruhi says his house is cute but Abhir says it is too small compared to Udaipur homes. Ruhi is sitting on a swing (swing indicates freedom). She says Kasauli is perfect place. She is enjoying here. Ruhi represnts AK mindset, as she has seen the hollowness of rich palaces and found freedom in Kasauli. Abhir represents AbhiN mindset where he feels that material things can bring happiness ( I know AbhiN loves his home but also has a feeling of lacking which AK does not have).
AK- AbhiM interactions: As per AK, AbhiM POV, they are doing nothing wrong. They are interacting with each other as friends (??). One can hardly point out an act which is crossing any boundary .However, does their interaction gv platonic vibe? I don't think so. AbhiM- AK interaction gives more than friendship vibe, even though their talks are platonic. That is why it is making everyone uncomfortable. I remembered a scene, where after AbhiM's nerve damage, a therapist is supposed to visit AbhiM. Both don't know if the therapist is female or male. Even though it was a lighthearted scene, it showed how possessive they were about each other. How uncomfortable, possessive AbhiM got when AK interacted with the therapist who happened to be a singer. I feel AK ( unintentionally) is behaving nonempathetic because she is not placing AbhiN where she was once. I do not see her thinking how AbhiN would feel, with her overfriendly behavior with AbhiM.
Even today, the hall fight over bed.. Can you imagine exchanging the characters? Replace AbhiM with a friend who was in love with AK in college and AbhiM watching AK- her friend's banter. How he would react? How AK had reacted when she did not know who Anisha is?
Even today, she asked AbhiM to make Jam with her, he refused. When AR came, AK thought AbhiM came back. But when she saw AR, she could not openly say she was expecting AbhiM. Why? Because somewhere her subconscious knows that it is wrong. You interacting in such a manner with your ex, who is going to be your sister's hubby is not right.
AK and romance: I also think that all the MK-KV romance takes AK to the emotions (not memories of AbhiM) she has felt during her first wedding. Yesterday, when Nilamma was describing the pre-wedding groom and bride fun moments, AK connected that with her first wedding emotions. AbhiN was not on her mind, when actually they hv shared so many moments during Puja ceremony. If true, this is going towards emotional infidelity. It remains to be seen in future epi, but I do not think AbhiN would get carried away by AbhiMMata or BP's comments about AK's first wedding until and unless, he sees AK's behavior that supports those statements or looks like it. Already, there have been multiple occaisions where he has seen AbhiM and AK working in tandem. I know this time both have a very pure intention of protecting AbhiN. But, her overfriendly intreraction is going to add to it. Hence, BP and AbhiMMata can't be held solely responsible for the mess that would happen.
Focus on the partner: Focus on your partner, giving your partner priority is crucial in a relationship. There have been many problems in AK- AbhiN relationship as well, but you don't see AbhiN, AK making someone confidente (other than Nilamma) when they face problems. For AbhiN, it is either AK or no one. It was same for AK. Now, AbhiM and AK have become each other's confidente. Again it is a grey area, it looks like they are doing nothing wrong. But, they are repeatedly violating the relationship boundaries. Much of it is situational also and can be argued for and against. All this is happening on the background that AK has not made her POV clear to AbhiN. AK is unitentional violator. Wheras AR is victim of AbhiM, the repeated violator. Due to AbhiM- AK behavior, each's partner is feeling unwanted, neglected in a relationship.
As the curve is going, AK- AbhiN will see a rift in their relationship because they care a lot for each other and think that their respective acts are for their partner's happiness. Wheras AbhiM- AR relationship will see a rift in their relationship because they do not care for each other.
If I do not see AK crossing boundaries clearly in coming episodes and still AbhiN leaves, I'll hold AbhiN equally responsible for going sacrificial way and jeopardising their relationship. Him leaving as shown in the promo does not make him great for me, if it is not for right reasons.
Principle that apply to AK and AbhiM, equally apply to AbhiN. He is good human, but he is not without flaws for me.
I think this should happen so each character gets clarity about where they stand and grow.
