arre asmi behana, this is NOT modelling. modelling which is unconscious. here IRFAN clearly tells that he has seen WASIM over years, and adopted the techniques. this is nothing but IMITATION!as simple as that. all the defence mechanisms are UNCONSCIOUS, by defintion, EXCEPT SUPPRESSION. hope this helps, tony!
