He might as well be the most hated character in the history
of Hiru TV dramas. His pride, arrogance and stubbornness had made him a
household name. Of course this just shows how well Saranga acts out the character
but dear Saranga you are doing justice to his character. However what exactly
do we know of Aditya? Who is he? What are his goals? Why is he so complex? Well
theses questions can
only be answered by taking up at least 1500 words, so why
don’t we give it a try?
Aditya Danthanarayana is the youngest son of Mr D and lives
in the D mansion. He has a constant hatred towards his mother and the entire
female race. He later marries our dear Astha and practically destroys her life.
He loves that dear girl but doesn’t quite show it. At the end of the day they
end up getting “almost” divorced. So that’s the end of the story. This is the
review of Aditya Danthanarayana. Wait! It doesn’t end here. He is far more
complex. This was pretty much the basic details so now let’s get to the deeper
stuff.
Most of the WP fans love Aditya simply for the arrogance he
has and with his hot temper he is almost always attractive. However I always
saw something very secretive about him and the way he acted. His constant want
to impress his father showed that all things between them were not always pitch
perfect. I have a feeling that he was not always the son that a father wanted.
He had somehow let down his dad at one point and now he is pretty much being
“dad’s slave” to make up for it. This let down I am talking of might have
happened with his first love Shoba.
I am sure Aditya was so taken away by Shoba that he began to
drift away from the D family. As this was his first love I don’t think he felt
the difference. Then Mr. D must have got together with Malini to kill off Shoba
so as to get Aditya back on track. Now with Shoba dead the D family must have opened
up their arms to Aditya. Then and there he must have felt that the only people
he could trust is his family and this quite explains Aditya’s die hard loyalty
for his family. However due to some hullabaloo Aditya starts to believe that
it’s Malini who got rid of Shoba. With this fact he starts his journey as a
misogynist. Anyhow enough of assumptions, now let’s get to the raw facts of his
character.
Aditya is obviously taken up by Astha and her bravery the
moment she stood up against the D family. He knew that he was falling head over
heels in love with her but just didn’t want to admit that he was because he
felt it was his weakness. The first time I saw this love sick look on his face
was when he went to that remote temple. At that place Aditya looked at Astha in
awe and it was quite obvious. The moment he slapped Astha and told her he
thought she left him like Shoba. The fact that Aditya was in love but yet hated
Astha is a complex issue to look at but heir relationship is a love hate
relationship throughout.
Aditya must have surely felt that if he fell for Astha, he
was betraying his father’s trust and goals of making him the next Mr. D of the
Danthanarayana Companies. He obviously felt guilty when he started to fall for
Astha. To cover this guilt he told himself that he was doing this to take
revenge from her for what she did to his father. This I believe made him feel
that he was still being loyal. This loyalty of his made it easy for his father
to use Aditya and later use Malini as the scapegoat to cover all of his father’s
wrong deeds. Through this trick Mr. D was able to control Aditya and yet be a
god in Aditya’s eyes.
With Astha I had a feeling that Aditya didn’t want her to
belong to another. So what he did was getting married to her even against his
parent’s wishes. He was pretty helpless here and was probably torn between his
love for his sweetheart and his loyalty to his family. By him getting married
to Astha he was able to stay net to the woman he loved while being loyal to the
family (taking revenge from Astha). He once said that only he could cause Astha
to cry and no one else had the right. Here Aditya makes sure that no one hurts
Astha at all. He was making sure that she is protected from his big, bad
family.
Aditya must have loved Shoba dearly before she left him. So
this made Aditya have a female phobia. When he met Astha he simply wanted to
have the upper hand and because of that he revealed to Astha that his plan was
to take revenge from her. Through this he was able to make sure Astha stayed
next to him all the time. If she ran away from him then it will just be a shame
for her family. Due to this reason Astha was forced to stay with Aditya. Aditya
must have felt that if he showed Astha that he loved her unconditionally then
she would run away from him the way Shoba did. He just wanted to make sure
Astha didn’t runaway like Shoba.
When Astha finally leaves him Aditya finally understands the
view which he took on life is quite wrong. However as our bae Aditya is arrogant
and proud he is unable to tell her the damn truth. So in the end it’s like a paradox.
Aditya is torn between love for Astha and loyalty towards his family. It is
only when Mr. D says that he considered Astha a daughter than a daughter in law
that Aditya understands that maybe he was wrong all along. So without giving Astha the divorce (she doesn’t
want) Aditya decides to give his plan another go by not giving Astha a chance (again). So let us see how it all turns out to be. Anyhow
at the end I really did like the way the screenwriters put in some cuteness to WP
through Aditya (that drunk scene) and Astha. This allowed us to remember once
in a while that Aditya is also a man with desire and love.
So guys I know I said that I will take a 3 month holiday but
I just couldn’t resist writing this. These 1000+ words are my thoughts on
Aditya and you guys might not agree with some but hope you like the read. Some
of my thoughts run around assumptions and they might and might not turn out to
be true. I hope you guys like my take on Aditya. So let’s meet again another
time in another point of view. J
