I think he is still getting well written scenes and HC is acting very well in all of them. I'm getting my entertainment quotient well enough. Nav is not even worth commenting on with the same rinse/repeat bechaargi daily.....Abhi is the one getting layered scenes.
I disagree; since the leap, most of his good qualities have been dulled or not shown at all.
Honesty - He has been less than honest about what happened on white day and unwilling to accept it himself for so many years. Even with a lot of other Gorillas confrontations, he has taken a back seat to Manjari and usually is busy calming her down or something like that.
Smartness - I mean, we have all complained he is not catching on to stuff when he really should. Plus, he gets more easily manipulated by Manjari and even Arohi sometimes.
Accepting mistakes - He has accepted all of his mistakes but hasn't apologized for them yet.
Selfless - We have seen him be selfless for Birlas and Ruhi and stuff, but none of that is being highlighted like before. More importantly, he is a doctor, and it was a big part of his character that they have just stopped showing that. People really think that Nav being a driver and refusing to ask for money from his clients is being selfless and AA, but Abhi literally saving lives is just normal.
Dialogues - Before Abhi got really hard-hitting good dialogues, like at the beginning when he met Nav, Nav would say he can't understand Abhi's dialogues cause they are so high brow. Now they give him nothing like that; just give Nav dialogues to show he is AA or to show he is a better parent/partner. The whole stuff about loving someone without caging them, or the weird car tashan scene about money, etc.
In general, yes, Abhi gets layered scenes cause HC is a good actor who can carry them, and the character is complex. But I feel like they are edging him out slowly. It's not working cause Jay can't carry the show, and he really can't show layered emotions well.
