Infact while writing a story, it's important to not have ekdum goody goody main characters as they don't need any fixing. Usually in storytelling, when we write, there is a problem, as in basically some flaw that needs fixing, and a plot that is designed to change your main character in terms of growth, learning things about themselves. May be because Abhinav was never the lead, he was one of the protagonist may be or , an important supporting character but not lead. The main characters of the previous generation were always Akshara and Abhimanyu and the show was centred around them, and both of them did show some character growth, even though I am not fond of Akshara much because I just couldn't understand her.
Ya ya, i do agree Muskaan being Akshara's friend would have made more sense than a complete stranger helping her. But some people do have a helping nature and are good Samaritan.
We both are not going to change our opinions about whom we like and dislike and we don't have to, but i would like to tell my perspective. It's not because of the actor that I like Abhinav, it's because of the character. Anyone playing Abhinav, i would have liked, because the character is such. Don't misunderstand me,, I do get what you are saying but I m just trying to show you a different perspectives. Example you called him “just there mutely supporting her vengeful nature.” But for me, I saw a man who was emotionally safe. He didn’t have to shout to be heard. He wasn't volatile, he was non judgemental and trusted his wife 's choices without imposing his own.
I have anxiety, and loud noises scare me, a safe environment where there is no volatility is very important for me. It's all about perspective . May be a quality that is very important to you, Abhimanyu must be having which is why you prefer him, like I prefer Abhinav because of no volatiliy and supportive nature.
Not everyone grows through confrontation. Some people grow when they feel safe. And Abhinav was that safe space for Akshara. She has her good points, but was very impulsive, and righteous, would always poke her nose in other's matter. I prefer her daughter Abhira, she is a much better person but she is too gone in love, she doesn't understand the concept of disrespect.
Even I m looking forward to Anshuman, i am already liking him. But of course my opinion about him might change depending upon his actions and plot. Thanks for taking out time to write all this. It shows a different perspective as somewhere I too felt most of Abhimanyu fans dislike Abhinav only because the leads didn't end up together.
It was nice to talk to you :)
@krinya - tagged you here as most of what i wanted to reply to your comment is written here and I didn't want to repeat, i hope that's okay?
Like you, I also liked Abhinav but I don't think Abhira will move on.
