Since people here are talking about Abhimanyu, I just wanted to add my 2 cents.
1)I absolutely love that he is Nandini's sounding board. God knows that girl was lonely and needs to vent. He was love personified today with all that he did for her. That setup was genuinely gorgeous.
2)I think this landing up from nowhere are sorting everyone's issues is a part of the narrative. Part of the mystery that Abhi is. The writer's of this show have always tried real hard to experiment with introducing out-the-box stuff on the show. This is one of those. I guess we'll know more about Abhi as the show progresses, as his story unravels. Currently, he is supposed to be the savior for Mukti, the vent that Nandini needs and that is about it. Not telling us his story makes the plot intriguing. Why does this guy choose specifically Nandu and Mukti to help out. Agreed they need it, but so do a gazillion more people on this planet. Why them?
Giving this guy a backstory would make him a regular character. Which he is not. He is sanity. That fleeting moment of solace in a persons life which connects them to their reality and at the same time gives them a fresh perspective. The breath of hope. The voice of your heart spoken out loud. He propels the story forward. But he himself has no story.
I don't know if I am explaining it right coz I myself feel lost now but he is like The breeze that refreshes you and then goes away. You don't know where it came from You don't know why it did. It just happened to come and provide you with fleeting moments of relief.
Agreed its a different approach. Some may accept it and some may not. But nevertheless it's an effort to provide us with something new .
3) The connect with Mukti is not there yet partly because she is so frivolous about it. He hasn't touched her soul yet. She does not understand what he is trying to convey to her. Probably because she is so hardened from the outside due to her past experiences. He needs a while and multiple moments like the one where she offered her body to him and he simply gave her a pat on her head to happen. This girl is too walled off to let all the cheese he offers affect her. And if one person does not have an impact on another through their words, a relationship is not really working. Which I hope it will. Soonish.
PS:I like the actor who plays Abhimanyu. He is charming. His lack of acting talent makes me content with the role.he currently has tho. I they give him something more than his cheesy lines and cute attires, he may not be able to pull it off. His ease of.conversation with Nandu is adorbz. They make me smile. With Mukti, the story needs more time. She needs more time to let her guard down. Only then will a relationship begin. Right now they seem to be in some sort of limbo phase. Not friendship, nowhere close to a relationship.
PPS: I don't like the way Mukti was looking at him during the dance. Like she was in love. She is not. She cannot.be so soon. I think Charlie overdid that bit. It was not in tandem with the current story.
