I so love the height difference. She held his hand all through even when she went to pick her bag, it was adorable how Manik was leaning, my babies .

Mtv is doing a commendable job honestly, not easy the way they have been tackling the tracks specially Raghav-Cabir. But I really like how even for an obvious Manik-Nandu thing, they are building it so steadily and meaningfully .

I think most people want to have an ideal image of themselves, TV provides that utopian idealistic view of society. It is watching a show with pre-conceived notions, why is it wrong for a boy and a girl to be physically attracted. If anything, physical attraction kind of underlines that you feel something for them other than platonic love. I hate that shows are dumbed down and don't want to ask the bigger questions.

The thing is its really hard to experiment with Indian TV, just for example take Manik, people want to see white-washed characters, why is he physically attracted to Nandini, how can someone break up and date someone else , so on and so forth but people forget in real life. there are really no white-washed characters. I commend MTV for that , for trying to do it differently, honestly speaking every channel, should be doing that. Make it more relatable and believable, dismissing stereotypes etc.

Well, this attitude towards Manik can also be attributed to the target age group of youth shows. People who wanted to get a simple, cute romance with a hint of gratuitous friendship will not understand the show or its characters. This show, while a youth show, needs to be watched by older and more sensible people.

All the characters are layered in the show and you need to a certain amount of maturity to uncover those layers TBH.

I just realised that during the dance even though Nandu shoes away and look here and there about 2-3 times...Manik never...not even once breaks eye contact..he kept staring at her throughout. Ufff that transparent look.😳

Their height different was one of the first things I noticed. The way Manik always leans down towards Nandani. *daydreaming*

Ps - I am loving the discussion here. It rarely happens with other forums I've been part of...
