Just caught the full episode and this line from Manjiri when Mahima decimates herđ¤Ł
Matlab kya hi bol sakte hain. Self awareness hain lekin conscience nahi. Wah. đ
I almost wished Abhir jumped in to say : Dida,aapko bura dikhane ki jarurat nahi , aap buri hain.đ¤Ź
Manjiri is just.. She's a villain in more ways than one. All of her antics have only one justification : 'Toh main kya karti đŠ'... Kuch nahi? Sabko shanti se jeene deti? Dida hain Dida jaisi rehti. Matchmaker na banti. Apne ghar mein bachon ka kindergarten na kholti.
Sabse important baat : Aap kuch nahi bhi kar sakti hain.. Yeh option bhi hota hain insaan ke paas
Abhimanyu... At this point idk what to feel about his character. The bad and the absurd eclipses the good parts but I like seeing the latter. He's always been someone who needed others to show him the mirror to bring about any major change,which ultimately lands in the dumps because of his mother dearest but anyway.
Yesterday Akshara started the chain, which he whataboutme'd, then Abhinav continued that which finally shut him up and realised his mistake. Today, Mahima followed it up by exposing the reality of Abhir's mental state in Birla House. That he's disturbed without his parents. I just wish Abhimanyu quickly gets to know about Abhir's bullying from Shivu too cause I hate how helpless Abhir looks when picked on like that. It's too uncomfortable to watch..so much so that I have to fastforward the whole thing. The blame game that follows angers me even more cause the mayhem only suppresses Abhir's side of the story. Atleast Abhimanyu wanted to know that today and didn't immediately ask Abhir to say sorry.
The question is.. Will he actually do something about it. He literally sees how heartbroken Abhir was when the other kids were getting their mothers' love. Mahima's words also hit him. Will he do something about it?
Because that is what will decide whether Abhimanyu is a good parent/father or not.
He wants his son with him after being deprived for 6 years. He needs his son close to him. He doesn't want to stay away from his son. All of that is understandable. He loves his son. But does he love his son enough?
Because if he does, then does he love his son enough to let him go? For his own happiness. For its become increasingly clear that Abhir wants to be with his parents. The ones who raised him. That's where his true happiness lies.
The rate at which Manjiri is going to cruelly erase his parents from Abhir's life.. If Abhimanyu doesn't put a stop to it sooner than later, its not just custody he will lose, he's gonna lose Abhir's trust and love, forever. Something he actually put so much time and effort to gain.. Especially as Docman. He's already lost a lot of that. Abhir doesn't even share his pain with him, something he would with Docman without a care in the world. He considered that man his best friend and confidant. Now the only time he throws a smile Abhimanyu's way is when he talks of meeting his mother. They had such a strong bond based on pure trust and affection and he's already lost part of that. He's gonna lose all of it because of Manjiri.
The point is if he loves Abhir, does he love him enough to give priority to Abhir's happiness and what he wants?
I feel like this is it. The crux of the current track. Abhimanyu's agnipariksha as a father. Will he be able to protect his son from his mother who is just trying to take Abhir from Akshara as revenge/placeholder for Neil?
Abhir is infact Neil's replacement in Manjiri's life. Neil was also another kid she brought in Birla House. A kid who was treated the way Abhir was almost treated today by Parth.. Manjiri could have eased Neil's pain, made his life simpler, could have let him go, could have exposed his real identity.. but didn't. With Abhir, history is just repeating itself. It was always about Manjiri and never about the kid's feelings. It was true for Neil, it's true for Abhir.
Will Abhimanyu make the jump from just biological father in name to an actual father in spirit and action? This is the test. And honestly, if not just for his own redemption arc/growth.. then atleast for the sake for little Abhir who deserves a stable childhood with all three parents..I wish Abhimanyu makes it.
Cause I do want to root for him as a father who protects his son and places his happiness first, a father who finally comes out of his Manjiri trance and goes against his own mother for the happiness of his son [the one track I truly want to see].. regardless of his past history and behavior. Because Abhir deserves better. That's truly it.
Today I especially loved seeing him yell at Manjiri for her antics infront of everyone (long time coming and more of this please! ) and then put Parth in his place for even trying that nonsense on Abhir. I would have preferred a punch but maybe next time.
