Manik is future jiju of Rishav. Rishav knows it very well. With Nandini Manik won trust of Rishav also. Though till now they have not so much scenes together. But till now all the scenes are mindblowing. Initially Rishav was scared of Manik. But when Manik saved his life, he won his trust. Now Rishav is very much aware of manan relationship. We can say him a cupid for manan. Because after seeing attacks of Rishav, Manik melted towards Nandini. Nandini saw soft side of Manik.
First impression of Rishav on Manik was not good.
Second meeting where Manik saved Rishav life. Then it changed manan equation completely. They started their relationship by meeting with each other to discuss about attacks of Dhruv and Rishav. So indirectly Rishav started their love story.
Third meeting when Manik spent night at Nandini home, Rishav was comfortable with Manik and they played with peanut.
Fourth thing Rishav knew about manan relationship during holi sequence, it was very much reflected in his smile.
BUT THE BEST MEETING IS WHEN PANDIT CAME TO MURTY HOUSE FOR DINNER. RISHAV SHARED HIS CHAPATTI WITH MANIK AND GAVE HIM HOMELY FEELING. HE KEPT RESPECT OF MANIK IN FRONT OF PANDIT. INDIRECTLY HE INDICATED THAT PANDIT IS AN OUTSIDER.
But yesterday Rishav Manik scene was totally different. Manik is showing equal protectiveness towards Rishav like Nandini. So he refused to Mukti to play truth and dare. Now after kidnapping incident Rishav is believing Manik more and more. He is obeying Manik more than Nandini. Nandini is also slightly jealous. This is fun to watch. Again Manik is showing right to stop Rishav in front of Nandini by saying that Rishav will go with them.
In hindi, there is a saying that "Sari Khudai Ek Taraf Joru Ka Bhai Ek Taraf. "Manik knows it very well. So future jiju has fully impressed his future brother in law. I can hope in front of amms, Rishav will definitely support Manik. Amms will be surely surprised. But it may change amms vision towards Manik.
