I used to really like him in the beginning. He seemed so cheerful, respectful, but also such a good friend to Viaan. I love their bromance, even now (before their relationship gets sour in the future episodes). But now I am thinking about how we need to be vary of guys like him. He seems very respectful, but with the expectation that she will start falling for him; he has many expectations from her, one of which is that she will be in a relationship with him. Moreover, he is confident that he will win her over, without consideration that she might be interested in someone else. I mean, he actually said "Use hata dunga" when Viaan mentioned that she might already have a partner. There's nothing wrong in wanting your love interest to like you back, but I feel that he disguises his pushy behaviour behind the explanation that he is "not a creep." His respect has limitations, and I am sure we will see that increasingly in the future episodes.
This is not to say that Viaan is perfect. He has of course been problematic, but the difference is that we all know that. We all have trolled him and condemned his behaviour endlessly. But Ehsan is someone though who we all loved, so it's interesting when we see the more contradicting sides of him. It depends on how negative the Indian makers will let him be, but if they are following the OG, he will be very negative unfortunately.
What do you guys think? I might be wrong in the way I'm interpreting Ehsan, so please feel free to share what you think.
the correct word for this behaviour is entitlement.
Ehsaan feels entitled to be in katha's life, to be her saviour, to know her secrets, to be a part of her world. He is no confident that he never stopped to think what katha wants or what are priorities are.
