Was busy with Barbinheimer and that was so much fun. Back to this and it was just the wrong episode to come back to after a break. đ
There's an art to propping characters. Everyone on the show is used to prop someone else at any given point of time but most of it involves the person having proven their merit already and thats why the propping. It brings the character and their traits in focus and their importance in a track.
For example, Akshara protested against Abhinav's name being erased from Abhir's life by propping up Abhinav's influence on Abhir. He put in the work hence as a viewer you would root for him not to be erased from his kid's life.
But Abhinav propping up Abhimanyu after whatever went down in the last few episodes is simply moronic. I wouldve understood this if he hadnt known what kinda influence the Birla House has had on Abhir. But now.. After knowing how utterly unhappy he is there.. how incapable Abhimanyu has been able in taking care of Abhir... the kid doesnt even talk to him properly... Forget Dada, he doesnt even trust Docman anymore. Seriously? Whats this out of the blue "Bhaiji Bhaiji Bhaiji' nonsense. Esp when he quite splendidly showed him the mirror the other day. Whats with this 180 again. This Abhinav is stupid,moronic and unacceptable to me.
This is just disgraceful of Abhinav's character. To even suggest going back to their home without Abhir.
I gotta say this : The greatest disservice to Abhinav has been the erasure of the Abhinav-Abhir bond for sometime now. It was the very reason he was accepted so easily.. The leap was never about Akshnav as much as it was about Navir. I know I would be unbothered except a lil rolling and sideye if Abhira happens again cause lets be honest.. ITV FL and all. But I simply would stop watching if they destroyed NaVir. Akshnav isnt sacred to me, NaVir is. To erase it or spin it in a way that simply implies Abhinav cares more about Abhimanyu than Abhir or the fact that he's somehow doing this for Abhir's happiness is just lazy and careless writing or very intentional writing if he's been written off the show/shown as losing the intensity of the bond.
Abhinav is the first person Abhir bonded with after birth and for six years he slept with Abhir on his chest. Thats his father who couldnt stay away for a day from him and here he tries to convince the mother to shift to another city for Bhaiji's father duties' sake, abandoning the child. Sure,because thats believable
Akshara should have shut him up. She's the mother and she wont leave and nobody gets to let her otherwise. When Akshara faltered, Abhinav countered that. When Abhinav is clearly wrong about this, Akshara should have countered it. Thats the balance she was talking about to Manjiri.
Yes, there might be excuses as to why this was needed. Abhinav wanted to remove his constant breakdown prone inconsolable wife from the source of her pain, he wanted Abhir to genuinely bond with Abhimanyu without his parents in the pictyre..but none of that is acceptable reasoning to me for leaving your kid in hell just for Bhaiji's udhaar ki Mamta esp when Abhir is not interested in Abhimanyu as a father or even Docman anymore and they know he's unhappy. Doesnt matter if its for a few days or not.. this Kasauli trip is stupid. Thats not what good parents do. This is a huge misstep. End of story.
