Same here Rani! I remember when KS had started, we used to have these huge arguments on the Forum about Jai / Bani and Bani / Pushkar pairing and I used to be one of those minorities who supported J&B! Most people very strongly felt that Pushkar and Bani made a very cute couple, even I liked them together, but as compared to Jai and Bani, I thought that Bani and Pushkar shared very little chemistry on-screen!
But if you see some of the earlier episodes, there are some incredible Bani / Pushkar scenes.....one which is firmly etched in my memory is where Bani is labelled a thief by everyone in WM, including Jai and Pushkar holds her hand and gets her infront of Jai and clears her name! Later then show, Bani and Pushkar walking out together and Jai looking at them from the Terrace! A fabulous scene!
There was another, when Pia ditches Pushkar and gets engaged to Jai, he gets drunk and loses his sense in a Party, Bani helps him get to a room and makes him lie down and as she is about to leave, he holds her wrist and says, 'I love you Pia...' (An exact same scene replays later on, with Jai getting drunk and Bani helping him lie down in his room) The expression of pain and hurt on Bani's face was fabulous!
I don't subscribe to the view that Tarun or Nachiket would be more formidable competitiors to Jai...No one else but Pushkar can make Jai feel most insecure, simply cause, Jai knows that Bani had once been in love with Pushkar and that thought will always be in the back of his mind, whenever he sees Pushkar and Bani together!
Remember his reaction, when Pia had confirmed to Jai that Bani had indeed once been in love with Pushkar...If a past incident could evoke such a strong reaction from JW, just imagine, how he would feel if he sees them together as a Couple (They might put a show of it!)
And Pushkar would leave no stone unturned to get back at Jai....especially cause he has not only backstabbed him, but also betrayed Bani!

Rekha,
The aforementioned scenes between Bani and Pushy are indeed etched in my memory. There's no comparison, NO ONE can match Ram Kapoor and Prachi Desai's onscreen chemistry, hence we are so mad over Jai and Bani. I do however know that they need to keep the story moving and someone will need to be the middleman...be it Pushy, Tarun, Nattu, A Dog...Bani has already loved enough for 9 lifetimes so we know she will not love anyone but Buddha! That being said, if someone needs to fall for Bani and simultaneously make JW green with jealousy, I think the best choice is pushy for the following reason:
Pushy and Bani has a HISTORY of mutual respect and understanding. They've been there for each other through thick and thin. The world is aware of their friendship but most importantly, JAI WALIA is aware of their relationship.
