I have only seen Abhimanyu till from beginning of s3 to Tilak 1(the gopi festival arc).. That was when I dropped it.. The character Abhimanyu did not suit me much.. and now watching after the 2 leap
I really do think he is a mix of Vanraj and Virat.. but not that he is not negative character like Vanraj.
There are many traits he share with both the characters.. that extremely irritate me.
With Vanraj.. he shares
1. that extreme anger( added with Growling and eye popping)
His anger is due to his family as he had to stand against his father who used to abuse his mother. Being in that situation a child usually will have anger issues. I have come across some kids who usually have anger issues when they see their parents are in bad marriage. I guess in bepannah(if you have watched it) also adi was against his father as he betrayed his mom and had a affair.
2. His anger is always only directed to anyone he thinks is under him.
He gets angry on hb and ppl whom he loves. Even he has spoken rudely to manjari for not agreeing to divorce her abusive husband. He even asked akshu to not to get involved in his family matters as they are very toxic.
3. He does mistakes and later 'realizes' that he did those mistakes and is sorry about it.
Yes.
4. He gets extremely jealous.
He does not as currently he is not reacting and doing his job as a doctor. He was jealous initially but later he decided to move on and accept arohi and started ignoring akshu too like how he is directly doing now. Now also when akshu made it clear he let her go. But abhir truth may change his behaviour so can't say what writers have planned for him
5. When he loves, he may bring the moon to your backyard, and when he hates, he might even crush your soul.
He hates arohi more than anyone since you have not watched epi arohi almost got his mom killed and then she even started black mailing him saying she will reveal akshu that she can not become pregnant. Arohi even put harrassment case on her but look at them now. He forgives and forgets.
6. He is a Mahadev Bhakt(This is a stupid and superficial point.. no need to even consider it.. i just wrote it.. because I just remembered)
With Virat he sadly share much more:
1. He is an emotional fool.. who claims he is a man of reason.
2. He makes promises impulsively under extremely emotional situations only to break them later on.
3. I swear both these idiots go through the same round of wallowing in self pity phase... extremely unwatchable.
4. Again, the ANGER.
5. cannot manage relationships in a balanced manner.
6. He is mostly responsible for his pains.. but blames it on situations.
7. Unless someone blast him and show him mirror he would never realize his mistakes.
8. And mostly being pyaar mein Devdas and poor understanding of moving on
9.In anger he can hurt people who he thinks are his(technically under him)
Again.. Abhimanyu have many nice qualities.. just like Vanraj and Virat.. but for me all 3 of them were very poorly written ITV characters.
Abhimanyu was never that great of a character for me even in the beginning or after the second leap. And As I have ranted in a post before.. I really do believe that Abhimanyu was never butchered on the white day.. He was always impulsive.. quick to anger and judge and most importantly.. feels OK to hurt others in anger
Yes, he must have supported Ak many times.. and was extremely vocal about his feelings.. but his love feels like "Nobody can hurt her... only I can hurt her.. she is mine.."
And sadly... That is my definition of toxic love.. Love doesn't give you the right to hurt your loved ones..
At least with Anuj Kapadia..he did want anyone to hurt Anuopama and he himself did not want to hurt her in anyway (at least intentionally).. Now that I hear he is butchered.. I don't care.. the Anuj before butchering had the opposite definition of love from Vanraj, Virat and Abhimanyu.
And that is why I compare those three.. it is their attitude towards their partners when they are in anger.
Anuj also got angry(Pre butchering) but even in anger he was never cruel towards Anupama.
The 3 Abhimanyu, Virat and Vanraj.. becomes down right vindictive in anger. only to later be blasted by someone to realize their mistakes.
And Hence I stand by my opinion.
Phew.. that was a long post
