Ranvi, the big brother and the anokhi ma of Veera has undergone a personality change. He no longer seems to be what he was once and no longer stands for what he believed in. A sudden complete 360 degree turn or is it?
Ranvi as a child was obsessed with the idea of having a sister and when Veera entered the picture he devoted himself to her. She became the centre of his universe and suddenly everything was centred around her. He even ignored his mother. His obsession with his sister was such that he completely stopped living for himself but her. And back then, all of us were in awe of the little boy who defied the course of nature and being a child himself became a mother to his little blessing. Ranvi and Veera became Ranveera, the most splendid sibling duo of Preetampura.
Now as per the new spoiler posted by Mohini, he's all set to distance himself from Veera for his wife's unjustifiable insecurity. Funny or crude, it makes me sigh and wonder about a new side of Ranvi, certainly not as glorified as the Ranvi of Ranveera, coming to fore, forcing me to think if Ranveera was a farce or a shallow bond from the beginning?
As a kid, Ranvi was fascinated with the idea of having a sister and so when he had one he was completely absorbed into the baby. Like a child who's fascinated with a toy and then becomes too obsessive about it. He ignored his mother and was glorified for giving up on his childhood and becoming an adult overnight for the sake of his sister. As he grew into a man, his other needs came to fore and now he found himself in love with the Gunjan. The idea of sharing his life with the girl he sought was so potent that none of the insults she threw on him mattered and he was ready for any kind of rubbish from her. Gradually she became his object of fascination and before he knew he was obsessed with his wife. All that he stood for and fought for even with his own mother in his childhood probably no longer matters any more. It's a paradigm shift. And what a shift... if his sister's love made him a mature and responsible individual, his wife's love is turning him to puny with not an iota of self-worth visible in his actions.
Today it makes me wonder if this character was plainly glorified for his obsession or was his love for his sister really true? If the spoiler is true, then certainly the whole concept of the show has toppled and Ranvi's character is shred to pieces making him look so shallow and creepy in a true sense.
We all have ample posts on Gunjan's unjustifiable behaviour but I guess the onus falls on Ranvi too. His indulgence is adding fuel to the fire and encouraging her antics. I don't say that Ranvi shouldn't pay attention to his wife... he should and I guess he's doing a fair job at it... but where is that Ranvi who would stand like a rock if someone dared to offend his sister? This inability to call a spade a spade is soon going to bring his peril and he'll have no one to blame but himself.
My request to CVs to please make a note of what are you turning Ranvi into. He wasn't suppose to be this weak. If the spoiler is true, then it certainly is disappointing.
