Abhi is being portrayed as some stupid, silly guy these days. A 22 year old is not a kid. I think the writers of the screenplay are trying to deliberately focus on the age gap by showing such scenes. Maybe it's pivotal to the script and that's how the main story unfolds. But I am losing interest in this serial. 😔

Frankly, this is the first ever Indian serial that I have watched with interest. I've mostly viewed the soap operas during my visit home.Liked this show while I was home in October and continued watching it online on this forum. Could totally relate to Abhi as that's how guys are at that age, but now it's a complete turnaround. I think the writers need to go back and view previous episodes from October and compare how Abhi dealt with Rajiv Bhalla and now with Nakul S.Dadar. The show script writers need to keep a consistency on the characters... And bring in some fun element back! 😡

To be honest, am getting disappointed in Zee and all their shows. They start off really promising and then turn into a normal rona-dhona soap. Feel like just switching off the tv most of the time these days.

Thank you! I am glad someone here is thinking alike. Neil seems like a good actor.

yes he is and I hope they use his talent properly rather than turning him into 22 year old kid.

The other most silly thing as others have already pointed out is making him 22yrs from 24-25yrs.
Abhi himself was shown telling to Simi at Qutub Minar - "don't compare me to your younger sister Mili, I must be 5-6 years younger to you.."
There are few thing that come to my mind -
1. Abhi might not have known what really was Simi's age when they met at Qutub Minar (bcos it was their 1st meeting..?!)
2. Simi's age according to records is 28 (or 29) [We are shown Manju telling that to Simi once, they intentionally got her age reduced for the records.]
3. If point #1 is true, then how can he tell he is 4-5 years younger? So, he is just guessing by the looks?
4. Finally, since everyone knows Simi's age as mentioned in point #2, then how come Abhi is shown telling Guruji that he is infact 10 years younger(after Anita-Anuj's marriage)? So, when did Simi tell her actual age to Abhi?
These were some of the inconsistencies introduced by the creatives regarding age.

Let's see what else we have in common; here are some of the things that made me the minority person here.
a) I did not support the introduction of a third person (be that Neeruj or Nukul) to make Abhi jealous in order to confess his love for Simi
b) I had issues with the age gap 22 and 30 (if they were both over 30 it would not be an issue or if they ahd kept it as 24 and 30 or 22 and 28).
c) I did not see the need to make Nukul good looking so it would boost Simi's self-confidence when she rejected him (isn't Abhi's love for her enough??)
d) the fact that Abhi only loves Simi because she sacrifices all the time (it's that sacrificial behavior that her married to RB and it was Abhi's confrontation of it that made her wake up).
e) I disliked the Abhi running, pinning and whinning after Simi - made him look less confident
f) I disliked the protrayal of Abhi as a child be it hiim playing hopscotch, wearing banana teeshirts (have not seen that one in a while - perhaps they burned it after reading the notes on the forum) or acting like a sniveling 5 year old running after Simi...

Bee the creatives have been messed up on the ages from the start. I think someone had them increase Simi's age by two years and decrease Abhi's by two because someone (the brain dead producers) probably told them it was not shocking enough. Plus either the creatives or the producers failure to give the creatives the time, failed to come up with a plausible story behind why a 22 year old would like a 30 year old woman.
In the beginning when he was between 24-26 and appeared to act that way, the chemistry was great. After having been deceived, we now have to adjust our minds that Abhi is now 22.

Like I have said earlier, I am waiting for the day they make him 18 and Simi 42.

No wonder, this is the reason why there is a change in his behaviour all of a sudden!!
" I am waiting for the day they make him 18 and Simi 42."

i still love this show but i do agree that creatives should stick to abhi's character as he was initially & there is no need to portray him as a big kid now, that he is going out with simi
there are other ways to show diffrences in age,that appear more real & authentic, since they have settled for 8 years diffrence,which is almost a decade.
so the diffrences could be shown as:
simbhi having diffrent music taste

abhi is more modern,so he might have female friends,but simi being set in her ways see the friendship in difdfrent light & that could be the point of argument

the couple can clash due to the diffrence in there upbringing & thinking,

plus abhi is far more independent than simi & more world wise whilst on the other hand simi is dependent on her family & not that avers to the outside world , so might get to clingy with abhi & in return he might find that suffocating,due to him being use to his own space

this is just my point of view i don't what you guys will make of this,but i just believe that instead of trying so hard to show the age diffrence, by making him act like a child

it will be far better to show the diffrence in thinking,tastes,point of view & interests, which for us viewers will be more enjoyable,than what's happening right now
