I don't think Mallika dislikes Jassi becoz she is not pretty. She knows Jassi cannot compete with her in the looks and riches dept.. She is not worried abt it. The thing is she is jealous of Jassi becoz jassi is more smarter than her. And armaan seems to respect her judgement and support her decisions and infact consults jassi for everything.

arree....yeh Mallika ki baat mey Armaan kahaan se agya😉...btw...I thought that Armaan rose above his dislikes of looks and supported Jassi to please his dad😕

No,he did not.You can watch those episodes if you like.In fact Mallika wanted Pari for Armaan's secretary so that she could spy on him & Puru almost agreed to it. Mallika was arguing that a chairman's secretary should be beautiful and not ugly.Armaan remained adamant.

Jassi did not paste her photograph on her resume because she always got rejected due to her looks.When Armaan read her file he wanted to meet her.Manchanda told him (making a horrifying face) that the girl is too ugly.But Armaan overrode him & called her for an interview in which he was highly impresed.In fact Armaan pressurised Puru to take both the girls' interview and then decide if Armaan was wrong in chosing Jassi over Pari.( The interview scene was hilarious)That's when puru conceeded that jobs are given according to merit.Ultimately,to keep Mallika happy,Puru suggesred that Armaan should appoint both Pari & Jassi.

There were numerous incidents after that in which he supported Jassi,inspite of being constantly taunted for hiring her.And at that time,he just did that because he saw her capabilities & stuck to his decision.And did not do that to impress anyone,but only because he thought it right.

By the way most of the things others have said practically state why Mallika is at least not a better character than Jassi,hence the indian sensibility remains intact.

So you see,Armaan was not really bad.But he became evil overnight.(No one complained!!!!!!).So now if he is turning back to being good all over again,why such a hue and cry😡😡

Just to be on record,Armaan yahaan se aaya......

Oooooooooooo this is too good to pass up...

Assumption ( by some Purab fans): Any girl who loves a person like Armaan is very bad

Mallika loves Armaan

Jassi loves Armaan

Mallika loves Armaan = very bad

Jassi loves Armaan= very bad

Hence Mallika = Jasssi = very bad

Now Purab loves Jassi = very bad

Now what kind of man is Purab to love someone like.........😉

😆 too good Minnie...

Minnie u r right that Armaan gave Jassi support when no one else had.....I concede because I really have not watched those episodes....

However not even u can deny that this support had strings attached to it.....Jaasi was given support but at the same time she was expected to bow down to whatever armaan-sir said.....in hiring her, armaan got himself not only a well qualified employee but also a willing slave......she was used for the Kohinoor deal.....Armaan tried to distance her friends from her by creating misunderstandings.....also her position was not in accordance with her qualifications....

Maybe Armaan was not bad, just human enough to have availed the oppertunity that Jassi provided him.....but the other side of being human is to differenciate between right and wrong and act accordingly......

Yes,I agree.What I had meant to say that it isn't as if he was totally bad.In fact he as quite fair.In fact Jassi took a long time to prove he was right in his choice.In fact,sometimes,Jassi almost seemed as stupid as Pari,as well as a total misfit.Anyway,Armaan did hire her for her brains and given his circumstances( read Aryan) he would have to be a fool not to take advantage of it.There are a few incidence when Pari almost succeeds in ousting the gang ( with the help of Mallika)when Armaan intervines & saves the day because Jassi requests him to.And that's why I'm saying he has not changed from evil to saint.He is just changing back to his former self and realising few other good things on the way too.

It's always good to see people like Armaan realising that they were wrong and come down from their high horses.I don't know whether that's possible in real life just as I'm not sure characters like Purab exist who are just white with not even a shade of grey.But it is comforting to know it might just be possible...........

Correction - That was his latter self from which he is changing back to normal self prior to the same.
