Ok, despite this clownery, Abhay said "I love Deepika" while Vikrant said "Deepika is only mine", and that's the difference. I don't think Abhay is unable to deal with rejection. Perhaps he made a mistake in the heat of the moment in the cabin, and later realized it was wrong, as you can't force love. But the love from his side is sincere and his concern is genuine. When you love someone, even one-sided, you can't bear to watch them be destroyed, so you go to great lengths to protect them. Deepika may misunderstand him now, but hopefully she'll see later that he wasn't wrong, only his method was wrong. Just because he's pitted against Vikrant here, his concern is coming off as jealousy. We have to see how he interacts with Deepika once Vikrant is (hopefully) out of the picture and then we'll see if he's truly matured or not.
