But yesterdays sickening dialogues from Mrs Sharma - meri majboori hai inko aise dekhna - if Abhimanyu detaches from both and fulfills only responsibility I’ll be happier but unfortunately that ain’t happening as he loves to shower love - irrelevant of reciprocation 😊
I would actually love it if that's the script that he is detached now. But really it just seems like poor writing to me. Fact is Abhi has been getting more and more detached since the night they killed him ( with Abhir's rejection). Since then he has barely reacted to anything the way he normally does. After his suicide attempt and then the whole bhashans which weren't even letting him grieve, his acting has been mostly aloof. He was going to return custody too officially and it really seemed like he was saying goodbye to the Sharma's then. Then during the court case also, he didn't seem to react much to people blatantly accusing him, he had some reaction to Ak and mostly it seemed like he was disappointed with her and stuff but nothing more. He wasn't even really hurt. After court case he apologized for wd and cleansed his conscience, he didn't even wait for her to respond to that apology. Like he wasn't apologizing for her, but for himself it seemed. I don't think she responded to that.
During the grieving process, he has put them first and done his duty as Abhir's parent. But after a month, even with that he seems disconnected. He looks a lot like he did beginning of this leap when he was in zombie mode. It could be HC himself doing this, cause it makes sense for the character. But he is also not getting any definite lines that express what he feels right now. So I think its deliberate to show that lack of connection from his end and that he doesn't love Ak like that anymore, just wants to do his duty for Abhir. In that even if Abhir is rejecting him, then he is just going to step back.
