Is it just me or someone else felt that he seemed jealous when Diya brought food for him while texting Abhay?
In child psychology, (especially early childhood stage), it is common for a lot of children to do something which is forbidden or negative to attract attention of the parents.
Why do I feel some of this weird behaviour was a desperate attempt to attract that attention from Diya which he miss.
Since he is back in India, somehow Diya's attention has been totally focussed on him and suddenly after she leaves for her parent's home that is diverted to other people.
He is second, third or even fourth in line when it comes to her giving him time and attention and he is doing weird (even OTT) behaviour attracts it back to him.
It may not be a conscious attempt but a sub conscious one.
