So, Today I am in the mood to theorize.
So the hot topic is: (sigh! Even now)
Why did Abhimanyu not drink with his Sharmaji?
I have partially scoured through Forums(Too bored to actually properly do it.)
And, I thought about it for like 10 min.
By the by... This is a fun post!!!!š¤”š¤”
These are the theories with points with support or counter them. The theories range from stupid to creative.
Simple and logical:
"Who will drive back?"
Pros: They drove one single car. Someone had to drive back. Maybe Uber was costly in Udaipur.š¤·āāļø
Cons: Why didn't he say that though? He could just say that to Nav or others when he was simply sitting on the ground.š¤
Simple and Boring:
"He was sad.. like really sad."
Pros: That is his usual state... So no one can exactly say anything against it. He is always sad.
Cons: he was also sad when he drank many times. What stopped him this time?
Simple and weird:
"He didn't know the steps for Pinga"
Pros: Last time they danced on Dola re Dola. So naturally, they had to dance on Pinga. But the problem is Dola re Dola was a classic everyone knew the steps for that. But Pinga?
Cons: Choose another song. It is difficult.. but there could be many other duet songs for these drunk friends. I am at a loss though... Ghoomar is good, right? Manwa lage is also an option.
Kinda Complex and logical:
"He couldn't say no to peer pressure."
Pros: Guys, Peer pressure is a real thing. š„ŗHe couldn't say no to his mom. so there was no way he could say no to his Sharma ji.
Cons: But ek baar na bolke to dekhtha.. Maybe Nav would not have forced him. He never tries.š
Kinda Complex and Genius:
"The drink had Truth serum mixed in it... so that, Nav can confess his crimes."
Pros: See, Abhimanyu found out some disturbing past of Nav and he wants to save Akshara And his junior. He wanted Nav to confirm his deeds and record them. But the idiot got too drunk and slipped. And Abhimanyu couldn't get his confession. Nav also looked like realized something while holding Abhimanyu's hand. Maybe the effect of truth serum? Abhimanyu.. well.. he did not openly record anything.. but who knows he was being very subtle about THAT one instead of you... know...Not drinking that stuff.
(Oh! Theories about Nav's dark past are many. Ranging from being a psychotic killer to being Muskaan's ex-husband. That is a whole can of worms to be opened later. )
Cons: Really, in this show? And that story? Yeah, I don't see any of that happening anytime soon. And besides, Truth serum is not lethal, Abhimanyu could still sip some right... Why waste 2 glasses of alcohol? And Nav was kinda chill for a guy who was drugged to say the truth when he got consciousness.
Dark and Genius:
"Abhimanyu wanted to kill Abhinav"
Pro: Simple, this guy took his wife and child away. He wanted to take back everything that he lost. Abhimanyu planned it all. He carefully planned it so that it can look like an accident and there will no way to prove otherwise.
Cons: š¤£š¤£ššš¤£š¤£ššš¤£š¤£LOL, ROFL, Ha Ha Ha.
Even darker and totally complex:
"Abhimanyu and Nav planned this together so that Abhimanyu can finally get back what he lost."
Explanation: This theory is almost like a novel. So, here's the short version. Abhimanyu sent Abhinav to look after Akshara after throwing her out of his house. His mother did not want to see Akharas's face. But he still loved her and cared for her. Nav was a loyal patient from his past who would give up even his life for the great doctor. Nav helped and took care of Akshara under Abhimanyu's command. But Akshara flipped their plans by proposing to Nav after the birth of Abhir. Nav had no choice but to agree and Birla's house was still not ready for Akshara's return. Then After 6 years when Arohi and his marriage talks started. Abhimanyu decided to end this charade. He and Nav planned the reunion in Kasauli, but Akshara flipped the script again, by not accepting AbhiM's sorry. They decided To Ak jealous but again Ak rejected AbhiM. (The truck accident may or may not be part of the plan) Then Abhir gave them some hope of reunion by being critically ill. Again Ak rejected Dr. Birla. Abhimanyu had no choice other than to fight for his son. He could bring Akshara to Birla's house for Abhir. but then Abhir poured water on their plans by running away and choosing Nav. So Nav And Abhimanyu decided 'enough was enough' and Nav had to go. So Nav, being faithful to his dear doctor who saved his life, decided to suicide. Abhimanyu tweaked the plan to include the hand-holding part so that some stupid can think it is a murder attempt. Because, then, he thought, Ak would first blame him and then feel guilty when he is proven innocent. And that would be his chance to sweep into her life.
Phew...
Pros: Honestly, this explains so much. The instant NavManyu attraction. The DDLJ background music (Oh wait! that was not real.)Nav invited AbhiM to some random guy's wedding. The Udaipur candlelight meeting. Nav challenging AbhiM in the hospital bed (They actually bet 10 rs on their success of the plan)
Nav initiating the stupid Awesome threesome track. AbhiM just sitting on the floor looking at everyone blaming him for Nav's death. H looked confused BECAUSE he was confused. This was the first time his plan was getting successful after all. It even gives the Sharma surname explanation. Nav and AbhiM thought it was only a few months' deal in the beginning, so Nav did not reveal his surname so that no one can track him. Akshara threw a curve ball at them and Nav had to bring the Sharma surname back.
Cons: The whole existential crisis of Nav fans aside, the whole process of acting 24X7 must have been difficult for Nav and AbhiM. They will have to bring back JS to shoot these flashback scenes now. Would they really want to do that? Other than that, this could work. Anyways, this serial is not famous for logical consistencies. It's not a biggie for creators.
My personal favorite:
"Ainvey"
Pros: Just because. He can throw drinks without any rhyme or reason.
Cons: Meltdown of the forum theorists
Most probable one:
"The creators also don't know"
Pros: It was a long week, busy work schedules, and Independence Day was near. A great outing weekend. planning that plus work. The director did something after reading the script. The editor thought something else and edited it. The sound team totally did not get any memo fr these sce. They mixed in a evil sound track. The actors don't know what was happening. So they acted however they want. In the end, RS decided to go with The final edit, because, it gave them 'AbhiM is killer' red herring vibes without even trying. people screw up here and there. It is ok. This is ITV after all, no one cares.
Cons: They might repeat this. It is ITV after all. No one cares.
All theories are welcome š¤š
Theory by Jenakt17:
"He just didn't want want another rendezvous with death"
Pros: understandably... The guy is sacred of death. Which he faced last time when he was drunk. This explains a lot of sh*t.
Cons: Then why bring a bottle of alcohol in the first place. Phir se truck ke neeche jaana tha kyaa. Did he order it week before and now was it non-returnable?
