'does love feel like this?' - Page 2

Brilliance this is! I would have my own opinions, but it's sleep o'clock for me!

GAHH I loved this episode! MaNan are so cute <3

First of all, yes, totally! The one hour was over so quickly? Mukti might've slept throughout, but Manik-Nandini only had, like, a few dialogues, and the hour was over. Either way, I don't think they would've been able to do anything productive even if they had more time.

I love how you analyzed Manik's hesitancy. Well said 👏 And even I am so impressed at how Nandini is finally standing up to Fab5, Manik especialy, of course. It's got me all surprised and I'm completely rooting for her. Girl power! And Dhruv, as usual, the adorable human being <3 He's always helping her and he did the same today, in such a way that wouldn't harm his friendship with Manik too much either, though I think that has already gone too deep.

I love Navya, and I don't want to see her constantly get hurt. It's really obvious that in this somewhat of a triangle with Navya-Harshad-Mukti, she will be the one getting hurt. I don't want that. She's one of my favorite characters in the show and she is so much more than just comic relief and a Harshad fangirl.

Ah, my ManRuv heart is broken 😭 Their friendship is my most favorite one on the show, and that is saying a lot since the show is all about friendships. As I've said, though, the wound in here is way too deep now. They need to confront each other if they really want to fix it, the silence is only making it worse.

I love how DhruNi are around each other, really. She's always so lively, and he's always helping her. This bond they share - whether it be friendship or love - is beautiful. They just seem so free and real with each other that it never fails to make me smile. Of course he's in love with her! I can't find any reason for him to not fall in love with this girl. Nandini might only see him as a friend, but that's not exactly a bad thing. I'm a bit surprised that he realized it so soon, but that's not a bad thing either. The show is heading towards MaNan and, although I'm happy because those two hold a special place in my heart, it makes my DhruNi shipper heart devastated. I just hope they keep this friendship, though!

Ah, MaNan have been so adorable today! Funny even more. I, too, loved the sarcasm! These bickering couples have always been a guilty pleasure for me but I am not even complaining. Manik, though! You've said it right; he's using sneaky tactics to get what he wants while Nandini has no clue, and I love that! He's not really voicing his feelings, but I feel like he knows about them, which is what leads to these actions.

Nandini is clueless about both Manik and Dhruv. Right now, she sees Dhruv as her friend, and Manik as her enemy. I guess the show is focusing on the guys realizing their feelings for now, and then they'll reach to Nandini.

I knew that the hour was gonna be a waste but I so did not think that it'd be over in a blink 😆 But it gave us this concerened and helpless Manik and just...aaah <3

Nandini always had the guts to stand up to Manik and Fab5, we've had moments which showed this before. But she was overpowered by Manik's too overbearing personality. Now that Manik has toned down a bit and she has become immune to his threats, their level has become more or less equal. Dhruv, like always, is the silent helping hand in this whole equation. He's torn between wanting to fix things with Manik and wanting to be with Nandini as well. The guy's dilemma is really real..

I want to love Navya, I like her outside her Harshad sphere. But all we get from her is she being in her Harshad sphere and that irritates me! Today I more or less liked their triangle but it's not something I am too actively invested it. I want an ambitious Navya who becomes Nandini's BFF in literal terms and not just in words. The girl who'd remembers her dreams and actively work to achieve them, all the time maintaining her unique, phataka personality. She has so much more scope than being lovelorn..

ManRuv's current situation is really hard to see. It sucks that Manik is not ready to talk about things. They always talked things through but this time the hurt is too deep for him to even think about, he wants to forget and move on. In cases like these, such approach doesn't help in the long terms.

I am not a DhruNi shipper and very rarely do I love their scenes, today was such day. I loved their scene. While I did feel bad about the impending heartbreak that is in store for Dhruv, this laughing Nandini and mesmerized Dhruv is just too darn special..Me too want them to retain this friendship but seeing Dhruv nursing his unrequited love whenever she goes away after talking to him...that would hurt so much. Dhruv's realization was really unexpected! But the show has the tendency to surprise in the most surprising ways so I am all okay..

MaNan were preciously adorable! And hilarious! This tone down bickering where they take digs at each other rather than actively want to bruise each other with words and actions is just so darn wonderful! Their equation has changed so much...the growth is so visible. I love it when a couple progresses together. they still have a long way to go but they are on the right path.

Ultimately, it's gonna be Nandini's choice. I doubt the guys would hold each other's collars and go all screaming, "WO MERI HAI!!!" at each other. And I hope they won't force her to make a choice as well...but the ball will defo be in her court..

Totally love reading ur view

Everyday I see this show and I realize that this show will somehow will be the death of me coz every scene is so good and MaNan are so adorable 😳

Like u said the sarcastic MaNan are just hilarious to see, both of them are at the same level and the way take digs at each other its so different to watch.. I must say Manik was pretty smart to think of the paint plan he knew there would no other way he could take care of her wound..

And Nandini she is literally on fire these days I love her strong attitude and she looked so happy today with Dhruv and her cute friendship test it shows her strength in her character of how she values friendships.

This love triangle is getting more and more interesting day by day

Today the show was legit death of me..such adorableness and snark!!

Manik really does know how to get his way..directly or indirectly. He gets what he wants. He wanted to humiliate Nandini, he got it. He wanted to care for her, he did it as well. Smart guy, yups! Totally!

Nandini on fire! I like that! 😎 She is at the best phase of her character...she's smily and chirpy with Dhruv, strong and confident with Manik. Both these qualities of hers are affecting the two guys in their own way and she doesn't even realize it. I love it, I love it so freakin' much!

I have nothing much to say coz you said everything so perfectly. :))

But I have to mention, the way Manik instantly looked at Dhruv hoping he would help her but realized Dhruv can't/won't. That helpless look he had, he wanted to clean her wound, show concern, care for her but he just couldn't. Oh boy! The helplessness was portrayed so brilliantly. Uff!

And I knew he planned on getting that paint on her face to wipe off the wound. Oww. Cuteness. They're gonna be the death of me. 😳

P.S. Mais, an OS on Manan, please? Maybe a sequel to "intimacy"? 😳

Thank you!

Yeah..Parth acts out all the smallest of Manik's emotions so perfectly. He doesn't miss anything! That's one major reason why I love Manik because we, as viewers, know everything that he is going through. You love the characters you know the most.

Today they were the death of me

Yups..sequel will be posted by tomorrow In Sha Allah! 😃 And gurl, Imma need your name if you don't want me to call you Insane 😆

lovely post dear!
this triangle took off so well. Finally it's initiating. Dhruv being first angle was expected and it was shown so well. I loved Dhruv- Nandini scene. This carefree and cheerful Nandu was treat to watch. This friendship will go long way. As you mentioned, Nandu stating some friends will always be friend no matter what, it could be taken both ways. Indication of something and affirmation of lifelong friendship. I loved this dialogur .
MaNan scene was amazing. In practice hall, this wannabe Bad guy just acted like one and I so loved how Nandu dealt with him. Fierce Nandu is hawt.
Later scene was awww. Just to Check her cut, monster planned out. haaha. He cares for her so much. in his own way..
Today there was a competition between Nandu and Manik in expressions, smirks and one liners. I am loving it.

Yes, the triangle is on the way to progress and development. Dhruv acknowledged that his pull towards Nandini can not be defined by friendship only. Manik is being extra affected by Nandini's pain. Of course, Nandini is oblivious to it all but chalse 😆

Nandini's dialogue is not a very good indication for Dhruv's love. Like I said, it seems like she was friendzoning him and I hate that term.

MaNan tou...unf! They be so perfect in their bantering and sarcasm and Manik just slayed me today!

Sorry, for copy-pasting my post from Shelley's thread, but I am not on computer, so it's difficult to write.

Okay so, how adorable are Dhruv and Nandini together? Nandini literally glows around Dhruv. Her sparkling, bright happiness around Dhruv is so charming. It's like she is a different person altogether around him. <3

However, Dhruv is letting me down a lot lately. I mean, I get how he needs to stay away from Nandini. But did you see how Manik looks at Dhruv believing he will help Nandini when she falls down? But Dhruv doesn't move. At best, his feelings for her is infatuation, at worst, it's selective charity. It's not love by any stretch of imagination. But kids often mistake crushes for love. That's what is happening with Dhruv.

Manik. What do I say about him? He is so desperately trying to be the monster Nandini knows, that my heart goes out to him often. But then I realize how effin annoying he can be. I was so annoyed with him when he bullied Nandini, but Nandini herself has grown up a good deal. She gives everything back to Manik in kind. Love the girl.

Dhruv-Manik conversation was intriguing. I liked how Dhruv mentioned Manik's inability to deal with anything emotional. Whenever he is faced with any sort of emotion, he retreats into his harsh, monstrous shell. Nandini affects him too much, creates too many emotions, hence he is so desperately trying to hold on to his image. But I like the rare glimpses of the vulnerable, anxious, loveless Manik in him. That version of Manik wants to help Nandini, wants to make everything better for her. And he did. Eventually.

I wasn't exactly annoyed with Navya today. She is growing increasingly disillusioned towards Harshad. She needs this for her growth. Rose is a star, bas. I legit love, love, love her. <3

Precap- Well. Krissan and Parth look adorable together is all I can say. However, I did mention that there was a distinct possibility of them getting back together. Their breakup was not a clean break, but an open-ended one.

The triangle has taken off like you said, but Dhruv is not in love, Manik is an idiot and Nandini is unaware. This is going to end in heartbreak. And if they will please stop playing Ishq Bulava, I will be the happiest person in the world. Legit.

Nandini and Dhruv were freakin' adorable today. I love this glowing, happy Nandini...times like these she legit looks like the young girl chasing fireflies <3

I don't agree about the Dhruv bit though..Dhruv right now is torn between his two special people. On one hand there's Manik who has suffered enough by the hands of Dhruv's secret and with whom he wants to sort things out. And then there's Nandini, a girl he legit wants to stay close to but can't because doing that would mean somehow going against Manik. He wanted to go there and help Nandini, that was his instinct but he remembered his promise of to self about fixing things with Manik. Manik and Dhruv haven't been talking lately so Dhruv doesn't know what Manik's feelings are regarding Nandini now. Manik did want Dhruv to go up and help her but Dhruv doesn't know that...he could've easily perceived that look as Manik daring Dhruv to go support Nandini and defy him. It was such a short look..

Dhruv isn't in "love" wala love but in Indian shows, crushes = love 😆 Dhruv was questioning his growing feelings for Nandini. It's not true wala love but the fact that he's questioning himself, that means a lot.

The equations have changed a lot. Monster Manik is not the same Monster Manik and Nandini is not the same girl who shivered in fear at his threats. His approach is now at a "trying and failing" level while she is spitting fire at him and not letting him walk all over her. That's what I am loving the most, this ultimate change in their dynamics.

Manik always talked to Dhruv and now he doesn't wish to talk. That brings in more frustration to him. He's slowly losing the control he had and being what he used to be doesn't come that much naturally to me. He's stuck in wanting to be something yet acting like someone else altogether. Like, leading two lives. One part is the same bully he was and the other is like her secret well wisher who wants her safe and happy..

Hopefully Navya's growth will be more concrete soon. But I sooo don't want her to act all indifferent to Harshad. I just hope they remain on good, friendly terms..

My love for Rose is real <3

i doubt that they'd get back together...them pretending to be together is a much bigger potential conflict than them actually being together. Krissan is adorable and she does look good with Parth.

Dhruv has legit feelings for Nandini, however small, and he is acknowledging them. Manik's heart is a mess and he's too dazed to introspect. Nandini is blissfully unaware and just being herself without knowing ke ek duffer aur ek pagal hogaya hai uske liye 😆 Sentiments shared about Ishq Bulava. The instrumental piece before the guitar tune (which came before the song) was so so so beautiful <3

Thankiess for the update. Super excited to watch the episode. Off i go!! Res till later 😃

I was Surprised & confused when Dhruv said "Time's up" That has to be the funniest part😆
Plus he also cannot ignore Nandu no matter how much he may try! He was there finally to save her!

Manik was so not Manik today after he saw blood on Nandu's fingers.. He was all pretending to be happy about the "Monstrous" thing he did, after Cabir's comment but one could see the uneasiness on his face.
Nandini actually even shoos off Rose😆

I hope Navya snaps out of her Rosy dreams with Harshad soon enough! Can't she see it has all started to look sour!

I can't see Manik-Dhruv like this.. Can another attack help?🤔 I'm being a sadist I know

The Dhruv-Nandu scene was too sweet<3
And so was MaNan scene.. I did not expect Manik to go all gentle with her.. It was so adorable I'm loving this track! The so called Monster couldn't be all "monster" with her even for a day😆 She kept talking about this monster and his concentration was elsewhere❤️
Damn..did that scene get over soon or only I felt so?

I loved Manik telling her to try to continue teaching them..I wonder what exactly he meant! Do we get more Prof Nandu scenes?😆
And the wink..The change in this guy is so evident but Nandu is just so clueless!
The most surprising part-Manik not acknowledging the fact that she is important to him *Sigh*

P.S. I'm glad the manhandling is reduced..I don't like it always!

Amazing post!
GAAAH!! WHATTA EPISODE!! :3
I just loved MaNan today!
The tripping scene - God, Parth acts with precision. <3 He was so concerned about her and yet he hesitated to help her cuz of his ego. The look in his eyes the moment he sees blood on her fingers is all you need to know how much he is cares for Nandu without really realizing it. <3
And their sarcastic argument was LURVE! All their remarks and sarcastic comments on each other! They make quite a pair. xD

My heart went to Dhruv today! <3 He's so adorable.Nandu and her "Firemdship Test" and his reaction to it! Awww. :3 The 'Is this what love feels like?' was esp too good, although I didnt expect it so soon. And IKR. After the scene, the only word that came to my mind was FRIENDZONE! I feel for the guy...But its pretty obvious hes in love. <3
Navya-Harshad-Mukti triangle seems pretty complex. And even I think that Navya may be the one to get hurt in this. :( But chalo dekhte hain.
But I am SO glad you made me watch this show. :3 <3
