Lemme begin with the lost cause

Aryaman- Such a disappointment, this is one character that has been twisted and turned by the whims of the writers to such an extent that he seems so irrelevant right now.
Instead of focusing on what could have been a continuation from the last season on the potential of Aryaman and Alya, the writers have shredded him to bits.

1. He flirts with Alya, then turns out of to be a sorta-kinda bad boy being Harshad's fren. BTW that part had me wondering so many things, but y use logic?
2. As if that wasn't enough, he turned out to be some random gal's bro too with a serious grudge against Manik.
3. And now he is all over Nandini (cuz that's just mandatory at this point on the show) *sarcasm intended*.
That dude has been stretched and twisted 😉 by the writers way too much that my reaction towards him when he was trying to defend Nandini was the same STFU look that Alya gave him yesterday.
He just doesn't seem to fit in anymore. And nope he certainly ain't Cabir.

And sorry but it would have made sense if Cabir was there and had a love life (with a guy, definitely not Aryaman) and not just be a mouthpiece/cupid cuz that aspect is something very relevant in these days. It would have been great to watch that in season 2.

Moving on to the others...
Mukti- She is one gal who keeps it together and looses it just as quickly, but I like her "don't give an Ef " attitude, she says what's on her mind. But yes behind that hard cover she is a broken gal. BTW the new guy could have more face-offs with this gal if not anything else, for all I know she may have a lot of fun with it, getting all that angst out.

Navya- Well, she is one gal who has something good going. Has a job to support her little son. It's not easy being a teen and to have so much responsibility on oneself. She has paid a very heavy price for her blunders, but it's a good thing if she has learnt from it and grown stronger. She has been thrown into a situation way ahead of her age. BTW why aren't her parents there for her? Have they abandoned her for real?

Dhruv- I still am not over the words he said to Alya, somehow if I were Alya I wouldn't want to get back with such a guy, but I have convinced myself that you probably hurt the ones you love the most, so maybe, just maybe I'll give it a go.
I don't understand how three months can make an insecure troubled guy into a confident upfront guy. They should have spent more time dissecting his health issues instead of rushing through it last season.

Alya- It was interesting to watch her last season, she was hurt way too many times and was expected to simply smile and move on without letting anything out or speak of the injustices she had to face. Her bulimia was something many gals her age experience cuz that is one way to let it go and not keep it together. Her breakdown was poignant.
She has just started a career in fashion and no surprises there though. She really did and does love Dhruv even though he pushed her over the edge. I am not entirely sure about Dhrulya though...

Apart from the fact that I find it appalling to watch each and every guy on the show fall for Nandini. It's a good thing that it's not the same with Manik so far...oh wait there was that gal
For all I know Nandini is Manik-zoned for life and Manik is also Nandini-zoned for life, and of course everyone is happy with that and nope still not interested in them.
PS- courtesy social media, I pretty much know the story even if I don't watch their scenes, cuz I just don't have to.

Interesting analysis! Thanks for sharing your views. Now let me share what I feel on each character on S2 (this may be longer than regular posts) 😉😆😛
(1) Aryaman- I feel his entry possibly was intended to be a backup. Perhaps MTV was already aware that Ayaz may quit and so they roped in Karan.
In 'Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan'..if we note except Nandini all characters are created with messed up lives! Aryaman is just one of them. I still wonder why Aryaman's character's entry in S.P.A.C.E itself was with a purpose of taking revenge! Why would Soha's dad allow Aryaman into a college where his sister entered and ended up dying even if by accident? I mean is the dad also psycho? 😆 That's why I feel Aryaman is brought as a filler. The way the story was taken..there was always some character coming in as obstacles to Manik and Nandini's love story. 1st Dhruv, 2nd Soha, 3rd Pandit, 4th Amms...and above all there's Nyonika and Harshad who are the biggest threats! Why do I feel they are born to create troubles? 😆😛 Aryaman 1st trusted Harshad and later on trusted Manik and Nandini. But I still don't get why Aryaman has to be paired up with Nandini? I mean, he is not Nandini's type!😆 So Aryaman is here in S2 to act as replacement to Kabir (as a filler to the count of Fab 5). His character cannot be developed any further. I mean..unlike Kabir, who had a funny bone, Aryaman is a bit similar to Dhruv...but I like Kabir's character more than that of Aryaman. I mean..Kabir has this approachable nature (maybe the only person who could handle Manik, Dhruv, Mukti and Alya). So seriously, I'm missing Kabir. He was the fun guy of the lot. Always ready to support Fab 5 and hiding his own pains and personal problems😳 Aryaman has the troublemaker side hidden in him..so I can't totally see him in place of Kabir. So Kabir is being missed.

(2) Madhyam...I think the name suits him totally! 'Madhyam' in sanskrit means middle! He came in the middle of Manik's disappearance and re-appearance!😆 Once Manik arrives, his purpose is served. I don't think CVs will be able to develop this character a lot!😆

(3) Mukti- What Nandini said is true about her. She is a very pure person. I mean, I love her daredevil attitude and she is like the tom-boy of Fab 5. I think she is an important character and I hope that she gets a love interest too...somebody who will genuinely care for her and protect her..like Manik protects Nandini.

(4) Dhruv-Alya- I think the CVs need to develop Dhruv's character! But I don't think there's a scope of any more Dhrulya romance..more than that's shown. I mean...it is more like friendship than romance! But surely...a jealousy track would work...as in some girl comes after Dhruv and he always treats her as a friend, but this causes jealousy to Alya and their love story can take off from there! 😳

(5) Navya- I think her character has become more serious..the funny Navya should return..and I hope she becomes funny again!😉

(6) Manik-Nandini- Undoubtedly the life-force of 'Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan'...the duo who can collect TRPs for MTV! I think if monster Manik returns...the story can be developed from there to Nandini taming monster Manik once again😛 If they show Manik as thanda, sweet, romantic type like Dhruv...there won't be fire, sparks and passion!😉

The truth is that Manik's gussa and Nandini-Manik clashes and patchups was the root of KY2S1! If we think carefully...the story revolves around both of them. The friendship track is good...Yaariaan is good..but at the end of the day...the salt of the show is MaNan and without their couple scenes...KY2 will be like curry without salt! If we ask audience..what scenes they love most...I feel on the count of 1-10, 8 or 9 of the scenes would be of MaNan! So I would say..they are the life of KY2!😳


I feel...if there's a part where the friends...are on a vacation and be away from each other...new love stories can develop...and each romance can be clearly etched out..with the friends sharing among themselves how the story is going!

For eg: Dhruv and Alya could go on a vacation together somewhere...maybe get stranded somewhere..a jungle or something...their romance rekindle...there's a nearby village and they spend some cute moments, when Alya and Dhruv coz of a situation dress up like villagers!😉

I think Fab 5 should go on a trip out of S.P.A.C.E for new relations to develop and new changes in the track! If they keep on showing friends fighting amongst themselves, jealousy tracks etc...the story will get predictable. Season 1 of KY2 had new characters entering to disrupt lives of MaNan...let Season 2 have new relationships forming around Nandini and Manik and a new beginning for them too...with lots of outdoor activities away from S.P.A.C.E! What say?😳
