you know what sonali come to think of it - there are only 2 maksads in his life after the yatra.. one was taking revenge on BD and now jaichand.. hence his friends have taken a backseat.. why friends.. i think he spent more quality time with his mom and sis before all this came up. but ... yes...he has changed.. (we all feared this after the yatra days remember) however what is strange is that his change seems to fit so well with the character...
before and during the yatra - he was a prince, carefree, agewise was small and lookwise also looked like a baby... so it was masti time and time to spend with friends...
after his father's death - he has become a king, though only a teenager (has become an angry teenager after the death of his father and now irritated by jaichand) this is the time when your hormones are jumping all around... [ask me i have a younger brother 😕 ... who learnt the art of banging doors on your face at about this age] this has complemented the fact that he is looking older now and more matured..so its just gelled in hasnt it?
i dont think even the sagars planned for it to work out this well...
as for nandini.. i sometimes think that she is more of a distraction to him now than actually on his mind all the time.. it just happens that she is in trouble and he has to end up saving her all the time...which he would do even if it was pratha or probably any other girl.. its probably the first time he thought about nandini like he did last week ...
the only time i'd say he thinks of her more than other is when he is in trouble/sad - he does seem to imagine her giving him support - more than he imagines anyone else.. (even his father) so i guess that goes to show that he is in love with her.. otherwise all effort is mostly from her side.. 😊
yeah true all those new responsibilties after his father's death and him becoming king will naturally lead him to become more matured and focused towards his duty (one of these being avenging BD) but i dont like how this has decreased the friendliness he had towards his friends..nowadays i just feel like his friends are merely there to help him achieve his maksad..i know tht sounds harsh but honestly, nowadays u only see prithvi giving them orders or saying "lets go!" u seldom see any kind of friendly attachment frm his side..whereas he still has the same kind of attachment as before with sanyo, pratha and his mom.
and i totally agree with u on what u said about sanyo. even during the yatra..whenever prithvi went to save her or offered her his hand, it looked like he was doing it becuz he was in love with or attracted to her but in reality, he would do it for anyone. but i think the one thing that made her stand out from all the other girls that he could possibly save..and i think this is the reason for why he fell in love with her..was because she showed so much faith in him..(when she kept tht mannat for him during the yatra)..it was the first time a girl he has no relation with had believed in him so much and thts wht i think made prithvi fall in love with her. i think it was sanyo who fuelled the attraction..she was always so sweet to him during the yatra..making rotis for him..asking him to give her a vachan..coming to save him in jatasur's palace (even though she denied that😳)..being the first one to run towards prithvi when he came running out of jatasur's palace, asking him why he never smiles, telling prithvi that she came to meet him and didnt even tell surali and so on...
prithvi had never received that kind of attention from a girl before (well he did frm jwala but she died 😭)..so if sanyo had never done all those things..i dun think he wud have fell in love with her..
and thts why whenever prithvi is depressed or in a dilemma, we always find him hallucinating sanyo and shes always saying things like "jeet tumhari hi hogi" to him..or she says something attentive and concerned like "kya baat hai prithvi..tum itne pareshan kyun ho?"
