Abhimanyu; Kanha or Shiv?

We know YRKKH is rooted in Indian traditions and culture that they keep them immortal through their episodes. Hence there are constant references to Gods. Kartik was always portrayed as Kanha in his dadi's eyes. He was playful and cute with his naughty antics.

Whereas Abhimanyu is definitely a notch above Kartik. He wasn't introduced as a boy, but a very serious, reserved and mature man, a loyal devotee of Lord Shiva. Just like his object of devotion who is known as 'kshipra kopi" (easily angered), Abhimanyu is short tempered. However, Lord Shiva's tandav has always been a private affair which provided him with calmness. Whereas in, for Abhimanyu it doesn't matter where he does his tandav because he is not God but a mere mortal with flaws.

Like Lord Shiva who is also known as "kshipra prasadi" (easily pleased) it is easy to please Abhimanyu as well. However there is a major difference. Lord Shiva is pleased by any of his devotee who calls out to Bholenath with pure devotion. Whereas in Abhimanyu can only be pleased by a select few. This is where we see his cracks too. Where we realise he is still a work in progress as only people who can get through to him are his mom and his lady love.

However we have been recently witnessing his playful side as well. He is madly in love with Akshara and this love lowers his inhibitions. The child inside the man comes out to play. This is probably his kanha side. Yes, it does seem like Kanha and Shiva are two different extremes. One playful and the other reserved or composed.

Or may be there is no Kanha in Abhimanyu at all. He oscillates between two extremes like Lord Shiva. Either the ascetic or the hedonist and only Akshara can bring balance to his life. Is it not what soulmates are supposed to do? If it is not to bring balance and composure into Abhimanyu's life, why would she even be? This story belongs to Abhimanyu. It tells us about his existence, his growth and how his lady love helps him evolve and complete him to become the perfect man. Because how can he ever be, if his ardhangini refuses to become part of him and dissolve in him.

The comforting shawl of your words really elevates the impact of your analysis 👏

is there a correlation between how many ISHARAS of MAHADEV you see and how GREAT a DEVOTEE you are

N Kartik married multiple times too🤣

Finally I waited so long for this n bouyyy it was worth it. The oscillations of Lord Shiva or Kanha might be more prominent in next episodes now, as the story just started.

But sach kahu toh I don't believe these writers they might end up inviting Lord Ram in the story too with reference to Neil as Lakshuman.

I knew it from first day he was God Man 🤪

Honestly for me he is only Abhimanyu, Abhimanyu I admire for his different shades and the way he portrays them but he is neither Kanha nor Shiv.. These characters are sometimes good and sometimes bad but can never be compared to God

Lovely ❤️❤️ you stole my Mann ki baat but could not express

As usual, beautiful analogy!!❤️ I don’t know if the writers are drawing parallels to Lord Shiva and Abhi-Akshu life story, but unlike other generations, this 3rd Gen is not about female lead but Male Lead! Like you said, we are going to see Abhi’s character development much more than Akshara’s! 🥳
