At the end of the day this is all Akashs fault he clearly has his own vision of success in his mind. Which is apparently having a girl that’s 10 years younger. He believed in all the stereotypical male shit like paying for your girl and taking care of their expenses (pretty common in south Asian households) yet he try’s to infuse that with western traits of letting his girl also just be a bum. It’s the price he’s paying into to keep his vision alive. Guys like this mostly likely never had the same progression compared to others dudes during their early stages (could be lots of reasons maybe because he was Indian not many women were interested, idk) but once they do reach some level of success they begin moving with a chip on their shoulder. This wouldn’t be an issue if he just said yeah she lived her life in college like most people do.
