First of all hi! My name's Kriti and this is literally my first day even getting into the universe of Swabhimaan, for now all I've done is watch a few offscreen segments and read around a bit, so fair warning, I could be completely off :) I hope to watch & catch up with the show during my spring break though!
Anyways, so from what I read around, Karan has this uneasiness with being touched or physical contact in general. Additionally today in a monologue he mentioned something about not feeling worthy of Naina.
Now maybe this is because I have a psych exam tomorrow and all the studying has gone to my head 😆 (which is very much possible) but if I'm not mistaken these are also signs of a victim of abuse, especially physical or sexual.
Apart from physical contact in general making them extremely uncomfortable, to the point where even the thought of it is discomforting, they also often start feeling worthlessness & self-hate. Now of course we're all educated members of society and we know that the victim has NO FAULT in any sort of mistreatment they've been made to suffer, but when actually going through such an experience, feeling undeserving & worthless is a common behavior (as a result of the kind of trauma this type of abuse causes).
So is that maybe what Karan went through? Again, I don't have much context apart from the bit of snooping around that I did, so I could be off, but if this is the case then kudos the writers & PH for bringing an issue like this to the forefront via a central protagonist. Not what I expected from Rajshri but pleasantly surprised!
Now my books beckon me, catch you later! Leave your thoughts :)
