I didn't have the opportunity to make a post then but I really wanted to talk about the little exchange Manik and Nandini had after Nandini got fired.

When Manik says he wants to make music with her, Nandini points out how he's made music all his life without her. A very poignant exchange. It showcased how for Manik everything is about Nandini. The life he had before, whether it's music or anything else, it's all blurred and the only thing in focus is Nandini.

Before there had always been a clear line - Fab5 and everyone else. But now Nandini has changed it all. His priority list is in tatters. The last week or so has been all about this. Manik choosing to run behind Nandini with Fab5 in room. His admittance about how there's nothing more important than her after the bomb blast scene. Manik likes to think that his affections for Nandini is something mutually exclusive from his affections for Fab5. That they can never over lap or contradict.

Manik needs to find the balance between his love and his friendship. But that's where Nandini complicates it for him. She wants to be his friend. And once again Baba is confused af. Ergo his bravado act in front of his friends about Nandini not being as important as Fab5.

I know how this has been about psycho Soha track but for me it's been all about how Nandini and Manik face the fact that there's more to a relationship than just love. They are finding out about what's important and how to compromise. Because Nandini knows what Fab5 means to Manik. She would never take that away from him. And Manik who's known nothing but Fab5 is forced to face the fact that his priorities have clearly shifted.

Just a little open question - Do you always expect to be unconditionally top priority for your BF/husband? Why/why not?

I think that equations do change once ur lover/life partner comes in ur life.. no doubt frns wil always b a hugh priority, but highest priority changes.. that s a part of life, a part of growing up.. life is all about changes.. what is important is to blend in those changes so smoothly that we don't feel the quakes of it.. n I guess, Manik needs to learn this n nandini n cabir would help him learning that

on the open question, i dont think i would expect myself to top the priority list, as for me it would be my mom, even if i become a gf, wife or a mom.
n regarding manik's priority, on the seperation track i felt nandu wanted him to choose her when it was between her and fab 5 and she wont allow him to stick to that decision.

but i am not very sure about this now after seeing some recent scenes 😕

Highest priority changes. I agree. I'd expect to be top priority certainly.
But I don't have friends like fab5. Friends who essentially mean more than family. This makes Manik's decision even harder.

Always
>_<

That would be the default position. But I guess there are circumstances where I would have to accept second place because that is how it should be and as a partner I would have to understand :)

First of all a huge shout out to Bolty my Bae who decided to post after a long time 🤗
And what a topic to post the beautiful change in MaNan and their story, you know how I always love to talk abiut the previous episodes and linking it with the change in the current episodes
And the most important aspect which has changed from Maniks side has to be-his music

Remember how Manik was first introduced he was shown singing, jamming with his friends- a major part of his existence and of course his family. He was jamming because he had fought with Nyonika. Music to him had always been this outlet to release his frustrations, anger,pain and his feelings
Even when Nandini punches him he turns to music and not to any of the fab 5 members for respite and peace of mind. Also music was also a thing which made the bond between ManRuv strong because Manik always used to sing for him during his attacks and his music always calmed Dhruv down. But this was all before Nandini entered his life when he was in charge of his own life, in control of his feelings, emotions and his friends. The moment Nandini entered and challenged his authority, threatened his existence he retaliated and his whole attention was diverted at making her suffer for causing unrest in his life. During that time music was not his sole focus but Nandini was. He spent more time planning tortures for her rather than jamming, hell he also left his competition for her brother! Musicana for him did not even matter anymore because he already had lost a greater battle- his love..thats why he just tramples ober the poster of Musicana and walks away because to him its over! Even before his performance its only Nandini which is in his mind rather than his music

Now cut to the recent episodes where Manik is not able to focus on his music because he had fought with her. The same music which was once a medium to release his emotions could not give him any respite because a thing greater than it in this case Nandini occupied mind. This scene for me will always be significant of the change in their dynamics and that too a very significant one because immediately after that he is willing to let go of his career and stand up for Nandini, says a lot about their relation? Also now he does not need to find any excuse to console Nandini or stand up for her in front of fab 4

Yes Manik needs to reslove this conflict between Nandini and fab 5 because now both of them form an important part of his existence. He cant sacrifice her the way he did before because now they have come a long way to simply walk away for their friends. Manik needs to sit down and think about his priorities and how to balance them, the first thing they can do will be telling fab 4 about their changed equation since it has to go come out eventually. But first they need to accept their own feelings and confess. I think they now have to come out of this friendship tag and acknowledge their deep affection for each other then only they can think about breaking it to fab 4. Even on friday when he says that no one can be included in fab 5 he seems a bit hesitant and restless as if he himself is not convinced about his answer. This he needs to acknowledge and think about.

Yes priorities in life keep changinig and it is not constant. One day it can be only our parents and on the other day our friends or loved ones but then when has life ever been constant?

That indeed was a poignant discussion , with nandhini pointing out that one true detail.The look on his face, the desperation , the need to put it into words that he might have had a life before her, but now with her he doesn't see beyond her.He has conventionally closed down nandhini and fab5 as separate bubbles that are necessary for his very survival , but he fails to notice that they are never separate entities but interconnected entities demanding ,if not more, equal attention and importance.The incident in car where he carelessly throws around the word 'irrevelant' for anybody outside fab5 is yet to hit home for him.But for once ,if he starts introspecting , the gravity of the relationship with nandhini will dawn on him and he may come in terms to balance both.Until then , he is gonna be all confused and may fail bad with one overweighing another...btw brilliant post and your last question got me into serious thinking...will update if my mind comes up with some coherent thoughts
