As an actor he has done an amazing job as Sunny. I like his flamboyance and screen presence. I dunno if he is actually a Delhi guy and if that is why he gets the lingo so perfect, but his dialogue delivery is pretty awesome..

I really wish cvs didn't mess up with all these characters

Almost all my fav side characters in the show went down the drain-mansi,kirti and now sunny nikhil is also mia now Only farhad-krishna left😆

@b that was way before this track na?abhi toh its evident ki sunny character underwent a sudden change

Yep I rem in the initial days when I was a silent reader how everyone used to root for Mansi and Keerthi 🙂

Ppl were so pleased with them that they were ready to pair them with second most fav character Farhad...

But now how the tables have turned 😔

I wish they don't add any pairing or angle for Farhad and Krishna...

Let them be as they are.... Strangers, comrades, friends, confidants...

Let's not ruin their characters by introing unnecessary relationship for them....

And imagine adding another language to the mix. Rao family meals could be so multilingual with English, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu and Punjabi flowing everywhere

Such a great post. I've also been thinking of why I don't like Sunny yet he has the same qualities Raghav does.

They're both rude.

They're highly batameez and insensitive.

Raghav was also a dark character in the beginning, his views on women were punishable! He was also extremely rude to his staff. They definitely toned it down and you do feel it after a few episodes. I guess, the channel demanded it, or the writers understood that if they stretch this character for too long, they may reach a point of no return with the audience. They also understood that we will no longer buy all the toxicity that was quite the norm on TV a few years ago. It's a welcome change and I'm glad they did it because I would have found it hard to like Raghav if they continue. I must clarify that I loved Raghav the moment I set my eyes on him, but I did not watch from the first episode. My first was the one where he is hurt and Pallavi is dressing him, as well as the scene of Marathi - Telugu conversation they have when Pallavi comes to return his money. I watched both these scenes in a span of a few minutes, and after that I decided to watch the show because I just loved Raghav's eyes

Not wanting to digress, I did find his initial behavior abominable, to say the least. Particularly, the highway scene repulsed me so much, I almost felt like "they better correct this". It was toxic behavior at its worst and I am not the kind to adore the fact that he saves her after putting her through hell. Other than that, his views on women did come across as harsh but I was ready to give this a chance because I believed he had a backstory. By now, we know that all that has been watered down.

Coming to sunny, what I feel is that we're viewing sunny as an outsider. Raghav is the hero, so it's all okay but Sunny, nope. There's definitely a certain bias in everyone who loves Raghav, including myself.

However, what I don't like about Sunny is that he is faking his love. He is not sincerely and he is not loyal. Raghav is none of this. He is sincere, he never fakes love and when it comes to loyalty, we know how much he values it. Raghav has a rough exterior, he shouts at his staff but he also takes care of their needs (yes, this may have been a later addition, but a welcome one as it added to the character graph). He has principles, and he follows his code of conduct, if not the one dictated by society. Pallavi could not defend Raghav today because she knows Sunny is right. And that was something I too loved to watch.

Coming to Sunny, he seems to have no moral compass. He is like a broken kite, he moves in any direction the wind takes him, at least so far, that is what we've been shown. There is no mention of his principles and what he values. He has repeatedly told Kirti that he can find many girls like her, in short, he is not loyal and he does not love her, at all. He is not sincere and utterly rude. He is also quite irresponsible and shows no emotional depth, something that Raghav possesses deeply. When it comes to misogynic personality, he is the epitome of it. Seems like he learnt it from his father. He thinks of lowly of women in all fields of life, just not love. If the makers did not water down Raghav's misogynic views, would he have been any different? I believe, yes. Because Raghav held a particular opinion about women he knew were after his money and fame and those who faked love. He did not hold this opinion of all women, but the few that he came across in life. Again, I can't be sure because this characteristic was dropped very quickly, and I'm glad for it. Sunny has a sorry opinion of the entire gender. At least that's how I see it.

In conclusion, Raghav and Sunny are two sides of a coin but one has principles and the other one seems to be hanging from the ceiling like a lost bat.
