Yet his sympathy lies only with Nandini - but we don't call him a monster like Manik, because a part of us feel sympathetic towards his disease and because he doesn't speak much. Manik is the smokescreen of fab5 . I don't think, it buzzed through their head that Rishab would drown in the pool, was it even any deep? I feel he would have been sympathetic of Rishab regardless because when he saw Nandini nurturing RIshab , he saw a bit of himself in her. This changed him, this made him respect Nandu in some ways. He is still the smokescreen and fab5 still revert back to bullying but the change is now people are not afraid of them.Shahid incident was big which all of fab5 including Dhruv and Manik are responsible. i guess when fab5 start realizing or get mocked at themselves it's then the feeling of bullying and it's imapct will sink in them . For them it was power and a tool, now they will realize just how messed up they were..He takes pride in the fact that a particular individual has been driven to commit suicide becoz of his and his gang's doing ...basically his doings r similar to that of a criminal ...the CV'S have failed to show their vision clearly .Why Manik, why not Dhruv. CV's have been bang on with their vision. They haven't got soft on them. They will probably use Cabir's secret to let fab5 feel the bully.The old age home incident is another example of this lack of coordination coz he rushes to help an old lady who is having an attack but he feels nothing for a girl who is screaming and crying after being locked away in a bin...Though i do agree with u that the full development has not taken place and the soft corner for rishab is becoz somehow he and nandu have made a place inside manik's heartManik understands those fits, his impulsive reaction would always be to help the patient , and hence the old lady with the attack. What they, not just Manik, did to Navya was what they all have been doing for years. They haven't thought enough that bullying could be bad . Till it happens to them, it will always remain hollow.
