I was thinking about circumstances and different situations today. Do any of you feel or think Viplav would've fallen for Kamini had Dhani not been in the picture? For instance, say Viplav had seen Kamini at the ghats instead of Dhani. Would he have been as drawn to her? Would he have given her a second glance the way he had Dhani? I personally feel that Viplav probably wouldn't have been attracted to Kamini even if he were single. I feel that Viplav is attracted to purity and kindheartedness above education and sophistication. If worldliness and insight were more important to him, then I feel he would've fallen for Tanya. Tanya was his best friend, and often a connection as strong as friendship can blossom into love. Even then, Viplav was sure he wasn't in love with her. So then, what would make Kamini any different? Kamini's seductive, intelligent, helpful and goodnatured (albeit fake), but she isn't charming. I think that's what her drawback is in terms of Viplav. Men often have no restraint if a woman is very sensual around them. Men, in general, like the pursuit. This is what makes our Viplav Baba so different. His nature isn't such that he get carried away by such antics. I give it to Kamini though, she's quite the villain and her plan is working in creating a misunderstanding between the two. She may have also succeeded in giving Viplav a wakeup call. She's one hell of a clever vixen. I just feel that even if Viplav were unattached, her efforts would go in vain. She's just not his type of woman.
PS - I see a major improvement in Ishita's acting. Seeing Kamini as an out and out negative character is a better fit than when she first came on the show. Ishita's playing her role with conviction! 👍🏼
