With all due respect, I completely disagree with the reasons you mentioned. Firstly because they are all circumstantial, we have no idea how half the things you mentioned here will actually play out in the show, that is if the CVs haven't already decided to turn Aryaman negative. And secondly because Manik at one point or another, has done all these things to her that Aryaman is now doing or might be doing in the future.
Yes I know...CVs may not turn Aryaman into negative. But then again..we can't predict anything.😆 Agree that Manik has done all these things to her...but at that point, it has always a strong attraction between Manik and Nandini. U may remember the scene where Manik and Nandini were locked up in the store room...Nandini always thought Manik had some bad intentions..but poor fellow was only removing his jacket to give her! Manik had several moments with Nandini when he never even touched her..and where she touched him. He wanted to hug her after he saved her from falling off cliff...but though he strongly wanted to do it..he tapped on her shoulders to console her. Manik kept that distance from Nandini in the start. But their physical touches were not coz of friendship..it was always either fights or coz something pulled them closer to each other. Manik's touches were always coz of his anger in the start.😆 But then Nandini's reaction...and his growing attraction towards her innocence made him get naughty with her. But can't help it..he was for the first time seeing a girl reacting that way to his touches and he wanted to see those reactions more..so more touches! That is how tv romances happen!😆
1. Friendship between two people happens when circumstances allow it to happen. People don't just randomly become friends. There's always a catalyst in the form of a situation or moment that brings two individuals together to initiate a conversation. Sometimes that conversation is just a conversation, but many times, that tiny moment with a stranger marks the start of a friendship. That's what happened with Nandini and Aryaman. Yes Manik has always been her best friend, but she had no one after he was gone. I agree with you that had the accident not happened, Aryaman and Nandini might not even be friends. But as I said, something always plays a catalyst in such situations. Manik's accident brought Aryaman and Nandini together as friends. He gave her a shoulder to lean on, an ear to listen. He became a close friend when she needed one the most. That doesn't mean he replaced Manik. He just made his own place in Nandini's life.
Agree...friendship between two people happen when circumstances allow. Circumstances made Manik and Nandini friends. Aryaman being a good friend is good. But now when Manik, her best friend is back and Nandini goes to meet Manik...why should Aryaman follow her around? Does he not understand that...Nandini wants to have some alone time with Manik?? I mean...Nandini was waiting for Manik...was dreaming of him and wants to explain things to him. Aryaman may be concerned...but that doesn't mean he should go after her when she goes to meet her boyfriend. Give the love birds some space...that is what I expect of Aryaman's character. 😳
2. See I disagree with you here. Yes Nandini is not like Mukti and Aliya, but she isn't exactly that traditional either. I mean the girl basically promoted teenage sex on this show when she put up all those slogans in college to support her friends. She has always been comfortable hugging her friends. The only difference is that first it was just Cabir and Dhruv and she was never really that close with them the way she is with Aryaman. Let's face it, the Fab5 have always been, and rightly so, more Manik's friends than they were Nandini's. She has never been that comfortable with them the way she is with Navya. Aryaman is her first actual friend from the opposite sex, so we shouldn't judge how she would or should behave with him when we have nothing to go on considering she never shared such a friendship with any other guy apart from Manik.
Yaar..you yourself said...that Nandini would flinch when Manik tries to touch her. She is modern in thoughts...but when touched she reacts like a traditional girl! That is what attracted him to Nandini. 😆 Mukti and Alya don't react that way...the reason being that to Mukti...(if u watched the starting episodes, having casual sex is nothing big) but to Nandini...it was something huge. She stopped Manik many times..before she gave in completely. That is the kind of person Nandini is. In Manik's eyes atleast...Nandini is different from girls like Alya and Mukti who walk around in swim suits..hugs people casually. Nandini giving Aryaman more liberty with hugging and all...will make Aryaman do in again and again and making Manik angry..that the girl whom he loved is casually hugging one guy..whom he dislikes inwardly. 😳
3. I'd like to mention here what I did in the beginning. Haven't we seen Manik being overly touchy feely with Nandini in the beginning? Where that was considered romantic, Aryaman is being tagged as some pervert. I remember Nandini actually flinching at times when Manik tried to get too close to her. She was THAT uncomfortable. And they were enemies at that time. Aryaman is her friend. I think he is allowed to be a little touchy feely when Manik could do that easily during the time they both hated each other.
Yes we have seen Manik getting touchy and feely...but think of the circumstances that happened. Fights at first...then romance. It is different yaar... Aryaman is not tagged as pervert here..its just that...the way he gets all playful around Nandini..when all she thinks of is Manik...he must understand that now that Manik is back, her heart will be with Manik. He can keep a bit of distance rather than go around hugging Nandini in front of Manik na?? (that's what we saw in promos too...)
4. You call it stalking, I call it concern. People keep forgetting that neither Nandini nor Aryaman are a part of Fab5. They are both more each others friends than they are of the Fab5. I remember Cabir and Dhruv going after Mukti and Aliya every time they were concerned about them. That's what friends too. Fab5 is a big group. Aryaman only has Nandini as a true friend. So naturally he'd prefer to be in her presence more than others. If I had only one close friend, I'd spend most of my time with them too. If that makes me a stalker, so be it.
Yes yaar..being concerned is a good thing. But too much of anything is not good. I called it stalking because..when she went to accident site..he was following her. Season 2 shuroo hone ke baad..in almost every scene..where she is there..Aryaman is walking after her and going to talk with her. It's like stalking na?? That is what stalking is about. Dhruv who likes Nandini so much doesn't go after her...why so?? Because he gives her the space she requires. Now Aryaman is made into part of Fab 5...isliye tho Manik aur zyaada gussa hai!😆
5. I don't understand your reasoning behind the use of the word stalker. You keep mentioning that he's stalking Nandini and I still don't know how you came to that conclusion. A few meaningful looks on his part perhaps? His feelings for her are changing so obviously he'd always want to be around her because he likes her. Until it's shown that Aryaman is negative, I'd like to give the guy the benefit of doubt. And let's not forget that Manik "stalked" Nandini plenty. They guy practically showed up at her doorstep every time he felt like it, uninvited I might add.
Yes...stalking because when she went to the accident site also he is following her around. It's not as if she is a baby..that he should go after her everywhere. She lived in Mumbai even before she met Aryaman. It's not like she doesn't know to walk around alone. She doesn't seem to be wanting to commit suicide or something that he should always go after her. He goes after her always..even when she may not even want him to follow around..that's why I used the word stalking.
Yes...Manik went to Nandini's home...because Manik wanted to teach Nandini a lesson for punching him, so he made him a spot and later on to drop her at home..when he was worried wanted to hug her (as he found solace in her)...and he has always been impulsive...unlike Aryaman who appears calm and calculated. Aryaman makes his moves after thinking carefully. Manik was always impulsive. If Manik calls Nandini and asks her to come and she doesn't come...he goes to her house. Manik didn't go to meet her to make friends...either it was coz of anger to her or coz of other reasons which Manik himself didn't understand. But then again...its a love story..so hero would obviously go and stand below the window of his heroine...so that she would come out to meet him..haina?😆😛
MaNan will patch up when things calm down. Right now everybody is on an emotional roller coaster ride. Aryaman shouldn't stop hanging out with Nandini just because Manik is back. If they want some alone time I'm sure he'll back off. Although I haven't been following the show lately so I don't know what exactly Aryaman is up to. But if the CVs turn him negative, ignore this post altogether 😆
