Note: I am scared to post this topic, not quite sure how it will be received. So, if you all feel this topic is inappropriate we can close it. I apologize in advance...



Ok folks, its time for some introspection. Lets give this scenario a serious thought.
However visually and morally revolting the current track is, it could be a valuable lesson... Let's recap this track, shall we?



Nidhi meets 'Bike Tycoon', BT on the street who turns out to be an obnoxious flirt with a language that can put any MCP to shame. At the same time their best friend and colleague, Ranga gets arrested on false charges and losses his job, thanks to BT. Upon seeing Nidhi at the hospital, BT starts hitting on her again and tries to impress her with roses. Nidhi insults him and throws him and his roses out. To add insult to injury he comes to know that she is Ashu's wife. He apologizes. But his ego cannot accept that she is not interested, he wants revenge for his bruised ego. He acts like a reformed man and risks himself to free Ranga and gains Ashni's trust and friendship. To impress Nidhi he also grants a pay hike to the staff. Next he tries to draw Nidhi away from Ashu on VDay by requesting her help to buy a gift for his GF and fails. Later he manages to interrupt their celebration and also helps them by dropping them home. The very next day he acts as the wronged guy blaming Nidhi for not showing up. Using that guilt and her compassionate nature he weaves a sob story about a dead GF that he is still mourning for. He gains more sympathy from her... and finally succeeds in luring her to his house. Nidhi being Nidhi let this happen.


Now forget Nidhi, or what she did and did not do, forget the show. Lets say you meet a similar guy in your life and you have to interact with him . How will you recognize the danger signs?

Your assignment is to try to honestly evaluate who you are, what your nature is, how you deal with people, so how would you act or want to act in a similar situation. What would you do?

good post aardhan..see we r being shown both sides of the coin here..so we know u is bad and who is not...so its pretty easy for us to judge...but this doesnot happen in reality..like nidhi we also get to see only one side of it...having said that i am also of the opinion that nidhi shud not have trusted him so easily and gone along with him...that is a bit unrealistic and perhaps thats y its "serial" and not "real"

Aardhan,excellent post dear.First i want to say that if you don't like my pov then i opolise first.Women have always sixth sense to identified the diff between good and evil.We can identified the signs on other's eyes.Agar aisa koi aadmi kya ladki ya aurat bhi toh hum use jaldi ident kar sakte hai.What steps should be take was depend upon situaion per ahead.

Good post Aarti..Well written..To answer your ques - It would really be difficult for me also to see through the intentions of such a person...We as viewers are aware of his 2 sides - but Nidhi is ignorant of this...But still - can a guy who behaves indecently with a lady on the street, then flirts with her shamelessly - be capable of being a person who loves a girl and is mad for her inspite of her being dead??? If a person is so much in love with someone - can he even think of behaving like a mawaali with a lady using horrible language and then flirting with her...Irrespective of what ever help he has rendered - these 2 conflicting behaviours should raise a doubt about the character of the person..Nidhi's woman instinct should have worked here - how can she completely forget his behaviour at the first meet..and now be all compassionate towards him...I guess if I was in such a situation I would be wary of the person beacause of the way he behaved at first...

Great post Aarti...

If something similar happened to me, it would take me a long time to get comfortable with this guy. I would avoid being alone with him. If a situation came about where I had to spend time with him, I would take a friend or my partner. Limit my interaction with him. I guess danger signs would be his language, how he sums you up...

A very good question Aarti...

it is very difficult for me to overcome my first impression on a particular person. If I faced a similar situation, it would make it impossible for me to completely trust that guy..esp because my first, second and third impressions were all bad. And suddenly the forth one is the polar opposite of the previous ones. That would in fact make me more wary of the guy. May be I would try and be civil with him but thats as far as I would go. Going out alone with him is beyond the realm of possibility for me.

Good post Aarti 😊
If Nidhi wants to help Daksh, she should take Ashu or Dadibua along! And if Daksh was such a naive, helpless person then why was he flirting with her in the first meeting itself.Later on he tried to woo her too! If Nidhi thinks Daksh can't get over his so called GF she should refer him to a counsellor.Why to run after him, that too alone!
Personally my opinion is to never trust anybody except your instincts & your own family...

For all of you that have answered, thank you. So far it seems as if the opinions are somewhat similar.

Personally I have always been vary of making close friendships with any guy. And yes instinct and caution have played a big role here. The only guy whom I trusted enough to become close friends with and with whom I have gone on a one on one date is now my husband. All the others, be it college mates, office colleagues, anyone have always been kept at an acquaintance level, never formed any close associations.

And if a guy like BT came along, I would never let myself forget his initial behavior. In the show Nidhi has been shown approaching him for a number of reasons, this would be a big no-no for me. I would not seek to have a convo with him. I would be cordial to him and talk to him only when he came to me with a question and even then only at work.

Good post AArti,we know Nidhi ,like us in real life is not having the benefit of looking at both sides of the coin,but still,the characterization of Daksh is inconsistent to begin with,a person who still loves his dead girl friend would not like to become too friendly and try to woo another girl too soon,secondly,even if Nidhi feels that Daksh needs help,she must keep Ashu in the loop and tell him everything.
