all his life he has been losing love, and he didn't want someone else... someone whom he thought his best buddy to go through the same. To him, FAB5 is everything. When Dhruv can break his friendship with Nandini for Manik, how can Manik be wrong in doing the same?

When you know what is good for your best buddy who can do anything for you, won't you do the same? Then Manik was not wrong. He did wrong by breaking Nandini, but his intentions were not wrong. Manik is like a candle... who lights his friends' life upon consuming himself. He would rather destroy himself for his friends' happiness than destroy his friends' happiness. He is Manik Malhotra...
