I can totally understand what you are feeling- this is disrespecting Naina. I'm a firm believer in the fact that age never defines a person or their character. Sameer spent all his life in hostel- away from any love or care. He started smoking- agreed. He got an urge to taste alcohol. I was okay with that too. But then if you remember, the way he reacted when Kamya literally threw herself upon him- he immediately lied to get away from there. And at that time, he hand't even completely fallen for Naina.
And then he falls in love- true, deep love. That changes him. Reforms him. Yes he did quite smoking due to Naina's influence- as his friend. He started respecting her ideas and beliefs. He knew that smoking causes cancer and hence stopped it. After all, he's not a chain smoker or anything.
These sudden changes in Sameer- so true- if someone can be so fickle minded, what is the guarantee that he would be faithful to Naina always. What if 5 years into their marriage, some hot lady comes and lures him and then will we say, it's okay...Sameer is just a young boy...Naina can forgive him. I would reiterate that had there been a girl in real life on whom a boy had placed a bet, there was hardly a chance that she would have forgiven him or loved him back. Sameer was extremely lucky there. And then I would put it down to his immense patience, acceptance of his folly, his genuine n selfless attempts to make Naina smile. He's so madly in love that he has eyes and ears for no one but Naina.
He was the one who got livid when he saw boys lusting over photographs of girls. And for that reason, he blasted Naina and broke the photograph. I understood his anger too, sided with him- though I still feel that was not enough a reason for him to leave Ahemdabad. And next week, we see Sameer leering at girls on a motorbike. What does he think of himself. I will be blunt here.If I had been in Naina's place here, I would never have accepted him back. Naina is in for another heartbreak. Why should she always suffer? She's nurturing her rose plant and Sameer is hardly bothering about it. And we are giving the excuse that Sameer is a teenager! I mean he's almost 18- July is nearing. Men got married at that age once! And what about Naina, isn't she a teenager as well? Why should she be the only one to show maturity? She is being loyal to him, focussing on her education. If this is how it is, then I would say, Sameer does not love Naina or care for her enough. It is a very forced drama I feel. Because once you love someone, out of sight does not mean out of mind. And if Sameer is indeed like this (which I'm 90% sure), even if he is redeemed, he loses the respect he got from me as a viewer.
Terribly disappointed. It's like boys will be boys.
