I get why Dev is called selectively supportive. There were many times he faltered & failed to keep his promise cuz he was written as this extreme guy who had this toxic co-dependency with his mom. And the fact that he was constantly guilt tripped by his family made it worse (1/4) https://twitter.com/SillyyetSkilly/status/1387098098720141312

The reason why this comparison sounds off is cuz most of Dev's mistakes were in character & he always paid for it. He wasn't given anything on a silver platter. He even had to work hard to get his daughter to call him 'papa'. (2/4)

He apologized & made up for everything (even when he wasn't at fault). It's probably why he is special. Not cuz he is the perfect dream guy. It's cuz he is a really well written male lead who actually had a point of view and journey which is so rare on TV. (3/4)

Virat on the other hand is just a badly written run of the mill inconsistent ML who flips as per what the track demands (4/4)

P.S. I know the tweet is not looking for an essay but I couldn't resist
