The depressing track that is going on currently, reminds me of the other ABHIMAAN. The movie Abhimaan starring Amitabh Bacchan and Jaya Bhaduri. There could be so many similarities, that it is not funny.
Just the trope is different. But storyline is heading there.
In the movie, Amitabh Bacchan is a singer of repute and enjoys fandom. He marries Jaya Bhaduri who is secretly a singer too. At first he encourages her to sing publicly, but as she is a much superior singer than AB, her fame overtakes him and he gets sidelined. Then starts the ego play and he AB starts mistreating her, being rude and is always temperamental with her. At some point, JB who is actually a very shy and simple woman, goes into depression and loses touch with reality, when she miscarries their first child. She returns back to her maayka, and leads a very lost and lonely life, till the lightning strikes AB's head and he realises what he has done.
If you have not yet watched the movie, it's a Bollywood classic, with fabulous ek se badhkar ek chart topping melodious songs.
Now coming back to our YRKKH ke ABHIMAAN....
1. Armaan and Abhira share the same occupation.
2. Armaan loves Abhira, but he is a flawed guy, which is what makes this Gen 4 ML the most interesting of all ML's. His flaws are like Kartik's attached to trauma from his childhood. But while Suvarna was foisted on Kartik, and he did not care for her, he was not a neglected child, he never was made to feel inferior in his home. In Armaan's case his trauma is bigger than Kartik's because he has never belonged in Poddar household. He has always been given love in khairaat in lieu of what he can give the Poddar's back.
So if they are showing him going derailed in his mind over this rejection from Vidya, I don't think it is a bad thing. This is typical Inner child gone haywire behaviour. However that does not condone the toxic storyline of Vidya's erratic emotions failaoing Raita in Abhira's life. And is absolutely OTT, and exaggerrated. Now we have just sit back and watch how much more evil they can make her go.
3. Armaan's heart has gone in a freeze. And he unfortunately seems to have turned on his my, me and mine emotional mode. Right now, he is going through a self-worth crisis, where he thinks his existence is from his mother, and if that relation is skewed, then what can he even offer a wife who is so dear to him. In his mind, he has to make things right with the first woman he loved, to be able to love the future woman of his life in the manner she deserves it. This is not toxic behaviour, its just Armaan trying to cope with the trauma of the curse that Vidya bestowed upon Abhimaan.
4. Of course they are showing him being absent minded, rude, argumentative, strict, slightly abusive, stern and disappointed with Abhira, and that is taking a toll on Abhira. With the added pressure of Dadisa's expectations from her new bahu and the stress of Vidya's behaviour + Armaan... I am expecting Ms. Abhira to go into depression soon too. Already she has health issues, upar se yeh family ka stress and the feeling of having your loving husband behaving like a stranger.
Fans on this forum and on youtube have been saying that Abhira should die or have an accident so Armaan can understand her worth.
But I feel physical harm se accha mental depression hai. Because physical stuff heals, mental stuff is not easy on anyone, nor the person who is going through the depression nor the person closest to them.
MY WISHLIST for this depression track (KP):
1. Abhira should slowly slip into her depression, and Armaan should come to know about this at very later stage. Abhira, our chirpy Abhira should just go very silent and her eyes should have that lost look, and when Armaan looks into her eyes he cannot find her soul in it.
2. I want Abhira to be taken away from Armaan by Par Nanu to the Goenka household and be pampered by Sulekha and MG.
3. I also want Armaan to finally realise, what he has thrown away just to be in good books of Vidya again and cry tears of blood.
4. I want Manisha Chachi and Manoj Chacha to sit with Armaan and give him some home truths about giving clarity to his mother that no amount of curses can effect the loving efforts of determined hearts who believe in the power of their love.
5. I want Dadisa to stop playing games with her family members and be the MATRIARCH of the Poddar family that she needs to be.
6. I want to see Armaan Poddar groveling at Abhira's door for at least a month full of episodes, with his heart in his eyes. And pls DKP don't give us silly groveling like flowers or balloons, but something meaningful and deep.
7. Such that their reunion should be a lesson that Armaan never forgets. He should know that there are losses, and then there are LOSSES. And that if he wants to lead a loving life with Abhira, then he needs to choose what he can afford to lose.
****
Ab yeh raha mera KP.... is there anybody who can write an FF on these lines?
