i felt like discussing about Fab5 a bit here, and this is only my POV, and i accept that everyone can have a different one😃:
Manik: seriously since the very start he put everyone's happiness and safety before him... he sacrificed many things for Dhruv, he always protected Mukti against Harshad, he even forgave Aliya for sending goons, which had caused him and Dhruv to fight for first time... he had felt cheated for once, yet sacrificed his pride for Musicana... finally he did lot of things for Cabir and to protect or defend him... basically a monster manik mainly to keep his friends safe🤔

Cabir: once he sounded like a selfish person, but yet his character has grown somehow on each and everyone... he lost R due to Harshad, yet he removed his case for Aliya... he's willingly letting this album, which means his life, for Manik's love... always present for Mukti

Dhruv: the buddy of Manik... he was the most fragile person, and everyone mainly Manik always protected him... and we all agree and understand why Manik felt like this, dhruv had initially sacrificed his life to save Manik... he lied to protect Aliya for the goons thing, he agreed to stop being friend with Nandini for Manik. and today he was ok with Manan, he did act egoistic at times, but came round very quickly

Mukti: Damn what can i say about? she was always portrayed as a psycho who is addicted in a way to Fab5, every time Fab5 is on verge of breaking, she's like going to suicide... her redeeming points can be she tried to help Navya... the only best thing about her is that despite Aliya being Harshad's sister, she never really hated Aliya, so in one way she also sacrificed a lot emotionally for a friend... still i doubt she really understand her friends.

Aliya ( lol not a fan of hers lately) : she was the barbie doll, sexy and beautiful of Fab5... she felt insecure and sent goons after Nandini( till now i havent seen her repenting of having done such a lousy thing! she was only sad because Manik broke up with her after this)
she tried to set-up and indirectly she led Dhruv to believe he was in love with Nandini for her personal reasons
she almost broke Fab5 to save her evil brother
and today best of all she thinks an album weighs much more than a person's life.
she's the one person who hasnt really done anything or helped a friend, except if we consider she did help Mukti during the pills episodes! what has aliya ever done for Fab5? what has she sacrified for Fab5?
and please dont tell me she always put Fab5 before her brother, she actually always put Manik before Harshad!

sorry for my ranting, but clearly i dont understand how we can even term Fab5 as best best friends! unless the definition of a best friend has changed lately, i dont feel Fab5 really enters in this group! Only a few are sacrificing on and off to save Fab5, the rest just complain and complain😆

only my POV, feel free to discuss😉

First of all, your first and last sentence actually made me LOL. 😆
Coming to the actual topic, I agree with you. There should be a little growth and a little distance as people grow in a relationship or friendship. Remember the time they were practicing their songs, and they met accidentally under that tree. Manan talked about how growing up and changes are part of life and as one evolves, changes are going to be seen. That was true to word, because that is exactly how it is in real life too.

I'm not saying that a group of five friends can't remain as close as they always were, but c'mon now. Is no one in the group allowed to have feelings that doesn't align itself with the Fab 5s view??

It's kinda ironic that the ones who were shown most evil in the beginning are the only ones with character growth. Doubly ironic that all the guys seem to be the ones with personality and character growth.

Manik...his character has changed drastically. He still is the same, but he's understanding love and peace. He still has anger, and he still cares about Fab 5, but he knows what gives him peace. He is the backbone of Fab 5. If he wasn't there, they would have broken long back. The convo he had with Nandu when drunk put words to all his fears/reasons.

Cabir...he is the next sane person in the group. He understands priorities. He understands what love is. He seems to keep a lot of his pain to himself and joke around, but he tries to cheer everyone else up when they are down...which seems to be all the time with this group, because something or the other is always making one of them sad or mad. He has also become the voice of reason for Manik when it comes to matters of the heart.

Dhruv...he ping pongs between emotions. But his character has shown growth too. In the beginning, I loved his connection with Manik. I still do, but I sometimes felt like he was in the group only because of Manik. With him starting to talk for himself, I feel like he's finally coming into his own. When he first starting getting attracted to Alya, I thought he was being docile and sided with her more than anything related to Fab 5. This weeks episodes have put him in a new light for me. He understands shit!!! He could be slow when it comes to a lot of things, but he has a brain. And we always knew he had a heart...and he proved it today too by being okay with Manan. He could have made just as big a ruckus as Alya but he didn't. He was more hurt by her outburst. That right there tells me that he was more invested in this relationship! LOVED his "thank you" to Alya after the slap! It was totally uncalled for and Dhruv in those two words told her..." I'm not your effing doormat or rebound".


Alya and Mukti...I don't wanna write a separate bit for either one of them because I might just write a whole bunch of crap. Bottom line...What has the growth been in these two characters? Other than helping Navya a bit, what has Mukti ever done? I can't think of any good that Alya has done. It's not about good or evil but about human emotions? Do these two not feel it for anybody other than themselves. Apparently, they don't even feel for their own friends.
Maybe I'm being harsh with their characters, but after this week, their characters have to be redeemed somehow for me to like their characters again.
Their dislike for Nandini totally overshadowed a human life and its importance. Like seriously!!!!! I'm disappointed with these two beyond reproach.


All in all, we already know that their group/band was formed because all of them came from "broken" places. You'd think there'd be more understanding and emotions involved because they understand the need or the lack of it!!!
I think the girls are the insecure ones here. Dhruv was a little insecure but because of Alya, and she is proving him right. In other words..."Kaisi Hai Yeh Yaariyan>??>?>!!!!!!!😕

I should be writing my thesis on heart valves and angioplasties, instead i'm dissecting friendship bonds!!!lol..

she'll defo regret what she did, but point is she hasnt really learnt nor became more mature after her break-up with Manik, she's again letting herself be clouded with anger and jealousy!
i'm no longer sure if she really has moved on or not, because she's defo feeling jealous

even today i can understand, but for mer she's nothing but feeling jealous and cheated because Manik loves Nandini
she can go out with Dhruv and keep everything hidden, yet Manik cant love Nandini just because once she felt insecure and did some major blunders in jealousy!

Have spoken a lot on this already. But still, fab5 are best friends rather family. For Alya , i would say she has sacrificed a lot too since her childhood, her brother has been an enemy for fab5 and until recently she has always picked her friendship over her brother.It is a lot for a girl who lost her parents and her only living blood relations is Harshad . So to say she has never done anything is wrong. She is confused , angry because her break-up to her seemed more about her fault, which is the case but from where she see it , she was right Manik did have feelings for Nandini, which we as viewers might refute but for her it's the case. She has moved on but somewhere to see your ex and current guy all being connected to Nandini would speak to the insecure girl who has never ventured out of her comfort zne and is still maturing. She spoke a lot in anger, which any teen will do at her age. She is justified in her behaviour , while it might not be tactful and sensible one.
Mukti understands her friends, she is needy and doesn't want anyone to encroach their family set up. She has been non-judging about Cabir, was the one to first go to Manik during the Manjha sequence when she thought Noyonika was messing with him. As messed up she was, one word about Cabir she forget her worries and went to him. Yes she needs to learn to let their friendship be and trust in it.

These kids are struggling with deep issues, they all are changing and while we might feel their friendship is dysfunctional , this has kept them all sane , including Manik. At 19 , they will learn .

you mean the complain one😆, well it's true nah, it's almost as if Manik is a lawyer or a servant to whom they can complain and order things😕

exactly Manik loving Nandini doesnt mean he's letting go of Fab5, fab5 will always be special and top priority for him, but taking this as a ransom/blackmail on Manik is wrong😡


I'm not saying that a group of five friends can't remain as close as they always were, but c'mon now. Is no one in the group allowed to have feelings that doesn't align itself with the Fab 5s view??
hmmm Aliya is going out with Dhruv and doesnt want to tell anyone, sure she thinks she deserves other people tell her the truth
Mukti lied about the pills, is lying about Abhi and rarely see other people except Fab5 and Navya lately
The only open are Cabir-Manik when they are together.
even Dhruv was jealous and acted egoistic before album nah...
so why all the expectations from only one person😡


It's kinda ironic that the ones who were shown most evil in the beginning are the only ones with character growth. Doubly ironic that all the guys seem to be the ones with personality and character growth.
Yep the guys have definitely changed, in fact they have become more matured, if one consider a Cabir who was holding the album as a saving grace, but he without a second of doubt let it go for Nandini's safety
Manik's character is the one which has changed the most though😳

Manik...his character has changed drastically. He still is the same, but he's understanding love and peace. He still has anger, and he still cares about Fab 5, but he knows what gives him peace. He is the backbone of Fab 5. If he wasn't there, they would have broken long back. The convo he had with Nandu when drunk put words to all his fears/reasons.

the drunk scene showed the real Manik, which i feel except Cabir and Nandini, noone is really aware of🥱

Cabir...he is the next sane person in the group. He understands priorities. He understands what love is. He seems to keep a lot of his pain to himself and joke around, but he tries to cheer everyone else up when they are down...which seems to be all the time with this group, because something or the other is always making one of them sad or mad. He has also become the voice of reason for Manik when it comes to matters of the heart.
Cabir he has laughed and made people laughed despite being in pain, he withdrew the case for Aliya and now the album for Nandini, he's even unwillingly giving shelter to Navya... he always guided Manik in doing the right thing and most important in being slightly selfish and really living for himself than just for Fab5

Dhruv...he ping pongs between emotions. But his character has shown growth too. In the beginning, I loved his connection with Manik. I still do, but I sometimes felt like he was in the group only because of Manik. With him starting to talk for himself, I feel like he's finally coming into his own. When he first starting getting attracted to Alya, I thought he was being docile and sided with her more than anything related to Fab 5. This weeks episodes have put him in a new light for me. He understands shit!!! He could be slow when it comes to a lot of things, but he has a brain. And we always knew he had a heart...and he proved it today too by being okay with Manan. He could have made just as big a ruckus as Alya but he didn't. He was more hurt by her outburst. That right there tells me that he was more invested in this relationship! LOVED his "thank you" to Alya after the slap! It was totally uncalled for and Dhruv in those two words told her..." I'm not your effing doormat or rebound".
Well Dhruv is Manik's special buddy, and like Aliya once said Dhruv rarely talked much with anyone
we all were expecting Dhruv to be angry, but he surprised us all, in fact he has clearly moved on from his infatuation on Nandini and has no grudge

Alya and Mukti...I don't wanna write a separate bit for either one of them because I might just write a whole bunch of crap. Bottom line...What has the growth been in these two characters? Other than helping Navya a bit, what has Mukti ever done? I can't think of any good that Alya has done. It's not about good or evil but about human emotions? Do these two not feel it for anybody other than themselves. Apparently, they don't even feel for their own friends.
Maybe I'm being harsh with their characters, but after this week, their characters have to be redeemed somehow for me to like their characters again.
Their dislike for Nandini totally overshadowed a human life and its importance. Like seriously!!!!! I'm disappointed with these two beyond reproach.

they are like "I, me, myself" and want Manik to be like a puppy dog after them😡

All in all, we already know that their group/band was formed because all of them came from "broken" places. You'd think there'd be more understanding and emotions involved because they understand the need or the lack of it!!!
I think the girls are the insecure ones here. Dhruv was a little insecure but because of Alya, and she is proving him right. In other words..."Kaisi Hai Yeh Yaariyan>??>?>!!!!!!!😕

I should be writing my thesis on heart valves and angioplasties, instead i'm dissecting friendship bonds!!!lol..

lol a future doctor i see😉
i'm also supposed to be doing my assignment on some forecasting things related to new technologies, but here i am completely breaking Fab5 "supposedly best friends!"

seriously i didnt like alya yesterday and specially today and about mukti,i didnt liked her also yesterday but today i was okkay with her...
1stly,about mukti,i felt that mukti has also hidden about so many things of abhimanyu,so she cant complaint about manik not telling them anything (mukti,alya and dhruv are still just predicting that manik loves nandini,they dont know anything else,so accusing manik is not right in mukti's POV) but still i was okkay with her today,bcoz after seeing manik,she asked about nandini's health and didnt create a scene,so issue with mukti solved😊

but alya,i am really pissed off at her,bcoz its not like manik and alya have broken up just yesterday and the next day manik is having lovey dovey scenes with nandini,they have broken up long ago,and alya herself is going to such extremes with dhruv and hiding it from everyone,how can she even accuse manik of cheating her... i am saying if alya herself has moved on,then wats the harm in manik loving some1 else!!! 2ndly she doesnt even care for the life/death of a person,i found it really bad!!! i want alya to apologise to manik and dhruv both.
