At least Abhi has not stolen,tried cheating for getting the house and tried killing one's own dad however bad a father may treat you.
And regarding Ahi being insensitive, if its regarding Bhalla issue he had all the right to behave like one.
Abhi is not plotting against or supporting evil plans like Anuj.
So Anuj may be what the middle class man is but not in real terms to the extent of stealing,cheating,blaming or attempting to kill.
Temper is a forgivable shortcoming and Abhi had every right to show his temper each time he has been. Abhi has done so much for the family that Anuj should have done. So Abhi stands on a different platform in fact very many steps higher than Anuj.
I definately agree with you 100% that Abhi has done much more for that family than Anuj has, and he is more mature.
But the truth is most humans, lie, cheat and steal, and drama erupts around family members all the time, and i am glad that they have touched upon the negative influences that happen to men these days, because its real, and Anuj (Waseem) does a great job portraying the imperfect realistic male figure of today.
Comparing him to Abhi is like comparing a chicken wing to a steak, but sometimes people do prefer the chicken wing instead.
Now Anuj isnt really plotting or doing anything evil, he is trying to do wat is best for his wife and child, and his wife is taking advantage of that, which is another realistic problem within todays society.
And when it comes down to it, nearly every mistake man makes can be forgiveable if he is willing to change, so i disagree with Abhi being better than Anuj, but i agree that Abhi has done more for the family. And as stated before Abhi isnt perfect either, he can let his temper get the best of him which can be harmful to himself and his family, and he can be childih at times, but that is what makes him a great character.
