Because Nandini is the moral compass , we want her to "act" right all the time. She plays our perspective of how we perceive things, we want her to react like us . But we forget that she is her own character, she has her own flaws . But her mistakes irritate us we don't connect to her personality or traits but with manik, we know he is damaged boy, he is someone we want to understand . So we take his flaws as character traits.
Nandini's day started with Pandit -locket, Dhruv questioning her character, Amms reprimanding her and the fear of losing Manik. The girl had an anxiety attack which made her rush to her safe place- Manik for that solace. Now which sane human can act perfectly with all that happening in a day's time. 😆
Basically Manik is someone we want to love and Nandini is someone we feel is us.
Beautiful words this ^^ Genie
But I'd like to put in my two cents here, on Nandini and my connection with her or for that matter with Manik too.
I love these two characters always but UNDERSTAND them all the more when they display flaws rather than exhibit perfections to idolise over.
I love flawed because its closer to reality, to human nature and brings in the relatable element in fiction which clicks with me.
Nandini is TREATED as the moral compass, definitely but can we really ever feel the moral compass as us? I fail to comprehend on how can we do that because I have only myself and my experiences to support my viewpoint and if they are anything to go by then I have always strived to do the "morally correct" thing (now everybody strives to do just that of course) but I can never ensure my future correctness in all situations and all circumstances of life. Personal life, the family you treasure is sometimes our very weakness and I for one cannot guarantee the morality of my code of conduct in any crisis if being correct spells something very bad for my loved ones. Its human nature and thats why I understand Nandini and Manik more when they display flaws because that is more US than the morality they depict.
^^ All the more reason to relate and understand Nandini in this instance because thats what my first instinct is always too, to protect and shield my loved one from his own weakness.

Hey Genie,
I dont really agree, I admit, she has already admitted that pandit is a creep, BUt also she needs to tell manik why she thinks so...remember the flashback she had, she connectoed all the incidents...the accidental touches and alll...
before she was not sure...but now she knows, she should hv told Manik Pandit gifted me a locket, tried to make me wear it, she even gifted me tickets for Germany...
I know Pandit hasnt done any bodily harm...for all the touches can be termed as accidental...but which teacher gives you tickets to Germany?? also Manik just told the guys he thinks Pandit paid the goons to beat him...
I know she is not lying but whats the point of hiding?? she should share this with manik...these are important infos to share, Pandit giving her tickets, giving her gifts...
for example if Pandit gets caught and he blames the entire sequence on Nandini, like she is the one trying to seduce him and been with him all the way...he can get away with this becasue he indeed went for dinner at nandini's house, manik saw the pendant, and who can stop Pandit if he says Nandini accepted the tickets???
Im not saying manik is gonna doubt nandu or sth like this, but he will feel dumb if he happens to find out this...because his girlfriend never shared these vital infos with him...
I get your point Dushtu, Nandini should have told because its relevant and it does matter. But if you consider the time frame, they really haven't got lone moments enough to ponder or talk over what has happened in the last one day.
When we love someone that deeply, they become a part of us and our first instinct is to always protect them from their weaknesses. Here, Manik's weakness is anger and anything "harming Nandini" , a HINT of it and Manik would have lost it. To understand why Nandini did what she did, you first have to understand Manik too, then you will relate to Nandini's reasons more.
Manik is cool and calm in planning and implementing his strategies.
-You saw Manik cooly taking the feed from Soha's cameras where she was displaying her psychotic streaks and then him blackmailing Khurrana to send Soha into asylum.
-Then you saw him now, sending video msg to Riddhima and calmly handling everything in preparation to catch Pandit in his own net.
^^All this he was able to do because NOTHING has so far HAPPENED to Nandu. Manik was able to do all this with a composed mind because he knows Pandit is a "threat" and wants to expose pandit to Nandini because manik knows that Nandini is not seeing the creep in pandit due to getting no creepy signs from him. Manik kept his patience because he knew that pandit has not done something SUBSTANTIAL to be caught so obviously by Nandu.
Tell me what you think Dushtu; Had Manik known or heard from Nandu herself that Pandit has sneaked a CONSCIOUS touch on her, given her a pendant and just about made her wear it , do you think the MANIK (as you know him) would have been able to keep his cool mind or carry through his plans to expose Pandit's creepiness like he is doing right now? Actually NOT!! Manik would have erupted like a volcano on pandit like he did when pandit locked nandu inside the smoke-filled room.
Will Nandu, with all her mental faculties in attendance, not think TWICE or THRICE before sharing this information with him?
It's not a matter of what BF-GF should or should not share with each other, its a matter of what you think the moment or situation demands.
Like everyone's analysis, I echo it that MaNan have a definite saviour complex (which again resides in all of us too somewhere and makes it click for me personally) and SHIELDING each other by self-handling of sensitive issues will always be their first instinct, until they progress to a point of stability and out of rocky waters for a good few years. Once they pass a "considerable" good phase, gain a jitter-proof hold on each other and their bond together, they will learn to curb this hiding for the sake of safeguarding and share all the sensitive issues with each other without the fear of them going bonkers mad raging on the perpetrators who mean harm to them.
