Dear All
You might have read yesterday's episode where Anand gives his piece of advice to Sia. I was in a hurry yesterday to type the update fast and post it as i was otherwise busy with some work...
After seeing that, i just wanted to bring to notice the way in which Abhi's character has progressed as this serial has moved!!!!
Let me start like this...I agree that Abhi was very immature, did not understand the intricacies of love when he got married to Simran. When Simran got pregnant, Abhi wanted her to get it aborted as he was not ready for a child yet. Simran tried to tell him that though he is young, she is getting old and if she gets the kid aborted this time, then she might not be able to conceive again. But Abhi did not understand that....He was uncomfortable that he could not spend time with his wife more as she was pregnant. He wanted to enjoy life with his wife. But as Simran was pregnant and working, she could not give the happiness Abhi wanted. Simran was very careful with her pregnancy. This created a turmoil in Abhi's life.
He then found Kiran with whom he could share the bed. He was happy with her. Slowly, he developed an affair with Kiran which ultimately lead to the breakup of his marriage with Simran.
He then married Kiran. Meanwhile, Simran gave birth to Astha. When Kiran ditched Abhi for another wealthy person, he realised his mistake. He began to think about the hard times he had given Simran in life. This was his first stage of trying to get mature.
He then got divorced to Simran. He remained friendly with her this showed how mature and considerate Simran was. He slowly realised her worth and what he has lost in life by leaving her. He was drawn towards AStha and regularly visited her. He got so very attached to AStha that one day, in a drunk state, he eloped with AStha and spent a whole night with the kid in a hotel. The next moring, when he got to his senses, he realised that he made a big blunder, came back to Simran and tried to apologise. Here, Simran gets wild and shouts at him. Abhi realises that he is a good for nothing and just moves away from them.
He settles in Nasik and tries to forget his sorrow and starts to pen down his feelings. He is very successful in doing that bcos he has understood the bitter lesson his immaturity had given him. There, he meets Neha. Poonam's incident brings out the writer in him and he, with the help of his thoughts and pen, wins the case for Poonam. He comes back to Mumbai in the process. He is a changed man.
All notice his change. Simran too realises the change in him. Abhi , having understood what Simran meant to him, wishes to get married to her again. He expresses this desire to Simran. But before Simran actually Starts thinking about Abhi, fate takes a turn. Neha is desperately in love with Abhi. Simran notices this. At this point of life, Simran feels she marrying Abhi again and trying to rekindle their lost love is not the best solution. Instead, it will be better if Abhi marries the girl who loves her a lot. She is instrumental in getting them married.
I know, at this point many questions will be raised, asto why Abhi did not show his maturity and think twice before marrying Neha. After all, he knew that he could not forget Simran. So, he could have thought for a second about Neha's future.
Yes, I do agree with this. But, sometimes, even though we want to do something, we are not able to do it. This does not mean we are not mature or capable enough in doing it. One should understand that we are all puppets in the hands of Destiny. So, even though we wish to do something, and fate has something else in store for us, it happens at any cost. So, in defence to this, I can say only this. Even though, Abhi loved Simran, Simran's decision not marry him again, left Abhi to think more. He then believed if he cannot keep Simran happy by marrying her, he can atleast respect her sentiments and marry Neha. He married Neha. To tell you all, Abhi was not a bad husband to Neha. Abhi's and Simran's care for each other resulted in both taking the other's help when in need. This was the catch point where Neha misunderstood the situation. We have already discussed about this issue many a times in this forum. So, i do not want to stress more on this subject.
The only mistake Abhi made after marrying Neha was that, he misjudged the limits of being Simran's friend. He could not realise that he was treading a bit far from the usual line drawn between Friendship and Love. Neha got suspicious and many worse things followed. Ultimately, Neha died giving her new born to Simran.
Then when he was on the verge of marrying Simran again, fate played a very cruel role when he found Neha's diary in which she had put in words and expressions the pain and agony she went thro' bcos of Abhi's closeness with Simran. This gave Abhi a shocker. He now wanted to be loyal to Neha, did not want to marry Simran. But he could not come to Simran and explain things to her as he knew that this situation will bring more sorrow and agony to Simran. So he quietly moved away writing a letter to Simran.
Now, coming to the portion after the leap. This is the best possible phase of Abhi's life, though he is away from his family. He now knows that he has committed many unpardonable mistakes in life. Bcos of these blunders, life for him has become like Dust. He tries to see faces in this, but he cannot. He is overcome with guilt. He is responsible for the misery of many. Neha died with the very thought that Abhi cared more for Simran. He left Simran twice, once due to his immaturity and then due to his loyalty to Neha. He knows he is answerable to Simran in life. He realises how much Simran would have missed him during the upbringing of Gudiya. He is answerable to his parents who are waiting with bathed breath to see him once more before their life comes to an end. He knows all this.
He writes from what life has thought him. The talk he had with Sia in yesterday's episode was clear fact that He is now very mature. Life for him, has gone a full circle, he has got to know much more in depth from the mistakes he committed.
He now knows that Sia has developed some sort of liking to him. He wants to tell that this is just infatuation. But he does not want to tell it openly as he knows in that particular age, Sia will not understand anything if he scolds her or condemns her actions. So, he tells her that in life, we meet different sets of people. One set are friends. The other set, people who one wishes not to see again in life. But there might be some people in life who are very close to them. One develops a feeling of closeness and togetherness with some people. But this is not love. The feeling of Love is something different. Love appears to be very simple, but it is really complex. It is tender, but very strong from within. The closeness with a person cannot be linked to love. THese are very nice words. This shows that Abhi has understood life, though late.
Ya, you might ask me why so late? In this world, some people get mature at an early stage. Some do not get this even when they get to their thirties. Abhi belongs to the second category. As there is a saying, "Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from sufficient premises" , Abhi was late to learn it. But now, he has learnt that the problems in life are only there to make a man stronger.
I now bet that Astitva is going on correct lines. After seeing yesterday's episode, I got so impressed with Abhi's character. His is a clear case of a person learning to live. He is slow in learning what life is, but ultimately makes it. Abhi is now a very mature person. This is revealed in the way in which he handles Sia. If he had screamed at her and said this was wrong, then he would have got immature shades again as that would not be a solution to Sia's problem. He handled the situation with great dignity and subtelity. I am now 100% sure that the story will not move towards Abhi loving Sia. He has grown really mature to consider that thought.
It is just that he is being drawn close to Sia. This is bcos of their blood relationship. But, at this point of time, this is not known. So, Abhi, being the elder one and a more mature thinking person, can understand that this sudden closeness is brought about bcos he sees something in Sia which is close to his heart. He can understand this and is mature enough to say that this is friendship and nothing else. But in the case of Sia, she is still a small girl, not knows what love is. So she cannot distinguish between love and this relationship. She was always in awe with this writer. When she sees him, she is drawn towards him more again bcos of their real relationship. But, in a tender age that she is in, she does not understand that this is not love. This is something else. She feels she is in love with Abhi. This is natural for any girl in her place.
This is a very delicate issue. But i have been seeing the way in which this serial has progressed. Now, i have come to the point where i think this complication is going to be handled trmendously well by the director. Seeing Abhi's way of approaching this is a hint to what is going to come.
I just want to conclude saying that as of now, Abhi is a far more mature character than Simran. He was far behind Simran in this, when he met her for the first time. But as years progressed, he learnt from his mastakes and now he stands, tall and steady, for the man he is. He is a person with great thought. He writes his life in paper and wants people to read it. He knows there might be people like him, falling into a pit and thus making life miserable. He wants to give such people good thoughts so that the mistakes he committed are not carried over by any other.
So i end by saying that, I with full agreement say that Abhi, as a character needs great applause. The director who has shown the gradual rise in Abhi understanding what life is and what relationships are, need to be congratulated too....
Keep watching this serial as this is getting more and more interesting.
