The first significant sentence that Manik has spoken since the breakup.
Its always been others asking and Manik feinting or parrying the question.
In an Alcoholics Anonymous or any other addiction rehab, people go to, they always say the first step to recovery is to acknowledge you have a problem.
In the same vein of reference, its probably the first time since the breakup that Manik has acknowledged that the decision he took so hastily and with such reckless abandon might not be the right one. He is confused and rightfully so, we the viewers have known it, probably Cabir too but for the first time Manik has acknowledged that its not so straightforward and that Nandini has "the power to drive him crazy"
I think this acknowledgment has also led to a more playful interaction between Manik and Nandu the next day, there was a lot more playfulness in the way Manik was dealing with Nandini as opposed to the last few days.
The breakdown of Manik's stubborn stupidity has indeed begun.
