Wow! Deception?! Resentment?! That's rather intense i.e. not commensurate with the degree of the crime . . .
i know im sad for taking a soap so seriously! but I only do intense...nothing in half-measures! 😊 yes the therapy is on ' im on the couch atleast 4 times a week and usually twice a day! 😆
when he professed to being 22, his demeanor afterwards did not suggest a pre-pubescent boy (not to me anyhow although his self disparagement was a bit weeeured) . . .
My issues with the inconsistencies in his character begin when he starts to act all un-Abhi-like with the appearance of his first real rival... so what if the guy seems like the perfect prospect for Simi, she has already said she's in love with him! It reeks more of an ego trip than first true love! Did he see himself as her saviour and knight in shining armour who will take away all her troubles, and that image is rudely shattered by none other than the guy who taught him how to ride a bike? To behave like his chances with her have taken a nose-dive, with the appearance of the first eligible bachelor, is not the way a confident, grounded 22 yr old man would act. It makes him appear sorry and insecure, so far removed from the man who looked down calmly at Rajiv Bhalla as the later fidgeted, it could've been another person altogether! It is suggestive of the fact that his earlier confidence was a reflection of his certainty of superiority over RB and not wihin himself ... so is he feeling inferior pitched against this better(?) person since he knows Nakul better than any of us? Implies weakness of character to me ... and superman's not allowed that!! Nah-uh!
how did I miss out on the relationship with the distaff side of the family
Im suprised you did to! Especially since you watch the show twice too ... You should go back n watch it then... the links are in the archive section...To summarise ... dad pronunces him "super man" when he arrives and says he knew his son would come because when ever somethigns wrong abhi always appears (im cringing too)... the last time it was when mom went into depression and this time its to help his sister... when brother n sister meet in her barbie-doll room,it is said plenty of times that she's counting on him to sort this like he does everything else...and then after shes gone off to Anuj's theres a scene where mum brings him food and tells him to do something because he's the only one who can do something!
Men simply aren't going to take a giant leap - a la Neil Armstrong - between 22 and 24/25 in their maturity level . . . it's more reasonable to think that if he was a mature 24/25 yr fella then he was mature at 22 as well . . . which makes the change in age largely moot . . . for me
Neil(!) Armstrong! ...haha... Like I've said already, had he been 22 from the start that was fine... but you can't have him change his (perceived!) age and the way he acts in one go and not get a reaction unless of course all the viewers are: "incongruously accepting of foibles . . .so, conceivably, able to go along with what comes next!"
