To be brutally honest I do not appreciate the lack of conversation between Lakhan and Poonam. Of course Poonam is shown as a timid and shy girl who doesn't have open conversations with anyone but Priyom. But Lakhan isn't the kind of man to not talk. I really do like Lakhan and the layers in his character are very intriguing and will be interesting to watch when they unfold, but why did Lakhan not think once to ask Poonam what actually happened on the first day of college? When he knew that Pooman would never step forth and exaplin the whole situation why did he not take the initiative? Why did he not believe in the girl he loves? Why did he not even give her a chance to explain herself? Why did he believe in all the 'kahi suni baatein' from people who didn't even witness the whole situation of mild ragging unfold in person? What does this say abt Lakhan? Is he easily manipulated? Does he not have a thinking and anylizing system?
Okay, let's just assume for a moment that even after answering all those questions Lakhan has a very high potential for growth as a character, which he does and which would be beautiful to watch.
But what he did with Poonam in the clothes shop is just inacceptable. Making her wear all the clothes once? Fine. After she is done putting on all the clothes and you have made her feel like shit abt singing, You make her try on ALL the clothes AGAIN?? Man, can't u c she is clearly uncomfortable about this whole procedure?
What I really expect from Lakhan and Poonam in this show is humongous 'Character growth and development'. Nothing feels better than watching two highly flawed characters evolve in the most beautiful ways. It isn't necessary for them to fall in love. May be if their friendship is shown before the love, it would prove a lot more effective.
Now there's our bad boy Priyom. I guess a lot of people have diverse views and definitions on 'bad boys' but mine is very simple. A 'bad boy' is basically any boy who considers himself a womanizer and is one. On top of that he is also effortlessly charming and good looking. A bad boy is also someone who loves the females but makes it very clear that this is a no-strings attached kind of a situation. And this is exactly what Priyom is and Lakhan is not. I do not disapprove of Priyom's ways. He isn't hurting anyone while he does what he does. He isn't getting the girl pregnant. He is keeping it very casual and literally just about the physical pleasures.
But Lakhan according to me isn't a bad boy. He in fact is the good one. He is the one who is loyal. He is the one who protects the girl he loves for danger that isn't even certain. Of course his ways of showing care are very different form the standard ways if showing care but that is what is so 'hatke' about him.
To be honest, I equally like both the couples and haven't been able to make a concrete decision as to which side of the fandom I m on. But just wanted to contribute my view on the whole subject here.
P.s. the view and definition of a bad boy are purely mine. And others may have different views. And that's totally OKAY.
