Neha referring to your topic, I never got the Mayank-Raj comparison personally speaking! 😕 The problem is the show and Nupur keeps alluding to this 'Raj' factor itself to justify Mayank going all out-of-character and over-the-top with this date... So we too use the same reference while explaining Mayank's behaviour, afterall thats how the show alludes to him, right??? But when you think about it, had it not been for the show, none of us over here would be comparing him with Raj...

Raj is different from Mayank but an iconic character in his own right, I don't like his name being used by the show-makers to justify Mayank being so OTT and OOC, because Raj never acted over-the-top and his romantic gestures were certainly in-character...

What I have been trying to explain through this topic is put soo well by you in words...
But since Nupur always wanted "Raj" Mayank is trying to be like "Raj" and "Raj" never went OTT and crazy like Mayank is goign to impress his lady and that is why most of us are having a problem with the way they are insulting this iconic character of "Raj"

You have COMPLETELY misunderstood my post.. I am saying that Mayank is trying toooo hard to be Raj and in the process is completely insulting the character of Raj.. because he is doing such a horribly bad job of it.. In my above post.. the part in red.. is where I acknowlege that Raj unlike Mayank never actually mouthed cheezy lines.
@pink- Please go read that line again.. I said he says those cheezy lines IN SRK style... But when SRK characters say certain lines they are not cheezy or atleast they dont sound that way because his character is not that of Mayank.
@blue- it is NOT contradictory... I said I love the character of Raj and Rahul and Mayank trying to be a SRK clone is turning out to be horrible.. I feel like my fav characters of SRK are being insulted by having Mayank trying to be like them. That is the point of my topic. Mayank is Mayank and Rahul/Raj are a whole different thing on its own.. I like them for their own separate reasons and the two should not be mixed..
@brown- DDLJ is one of my FAVORITE movies and I must have watched the movie a 1000+ times by now. I have all the dialogues memorized and ofcourse analyzed both those characters to its core.. Please get all the facts straight before accusing someone of saying how wrong they are..

@ bold-it's your eyes that keep seeing him as acting like SRK characters, I don't see that, thus I think Mayank is being Mayank. I'm sorry your fav. SRK characters are being insulted, I would just recommend you only think Mayank is Mayank and stop drawing comparisions & parallels with infamous SRK roles. It's your opinion of this whole SRK role comparison and I'm not going to convince you otherwise. You see what you WANT to see. 😳
I have only interpreted what you have posted and what you have responded to me with. I'm not accusing you of anything, but yes I do see contradictions in your response, and that is my critique of your criticism of Mayank. In DDLJ Raj is a flirt and to some extent an opposite character to simran, but what brings them together that a little integral part of them is the same, which dreams of love. Raj could've won over Simran in his own grand style, but he didn't because that is not what Simran and her family believe in. He moulded his romance style to Simran's dreams and became Simran's Raj. That was not a character change in him, that was him in love with Simran. Likewise Simran would do things that Raj would've liked. Like her kiss on his cheek. 😳 Anyway I'm not dissecting DDLJ because such dissections just lead to other characters becoming involved, like here by dissecting Mayank, SRK has become involved all of a sudden. 😕 Mayank is fulfilling Nupur's dream fantasy. You think the fantasy is OTT, and impractical, but at the end it is a DREAM FANTASY, which Nupur DREAMS of! This is something Mayank is fulfilling to the best of his ability, no comparisions to momumental roles of SRK, in my opinion OF COURSE. 😊
-btw: Good to know their is another Raj Lover in the forum.😃

IDK. I say that it's best we best transform Mayank's name now. LOL.
I will be concise here:
I do not want to see OTT romance, but, I will be content in viewing the subtle and caring gestures that normal folks do to express their love.
How the hell did a college student manage to attain so much money for this lavish date? Bank chura ke aaya hai kya? 911, we need help!

Sacchi. Doesn't a pony/horse, or whatever animal they will be using, cost more than a car? YIKES. We hear students make day and night one to collect money to pay off their fees, but Mayank is spending lavishly on his love who he may not even marry.😲
I agree that it's a fictional show, but since when did it become an unrealistic show? *Thinks hard while scratching head.*

@bold- Well... the theory we have been given by a lot of people in this forum is that a horse doesnt really cost much at all in india and therefore he can totally afford it.. Here is my theory of how he affords it:
He borrows the horse from the neighboring show's Prithvi bhaiyya because the creatives promised him that if he lets them borrow horse, he will get more screen time in LNMDJ. The flowers he got from the bachhi on the street from whom he had bought them the first time he handed them to Nupur after "Jaage Jaage." The dinner he will make on his own because he has proved himself to be such a brilliant cook time and again. For decorations of the table and kursi and stuff, he will use the shiny outfits from the play.. (Nupur's pink dupatta can be table cloth). And the violins.. he got help from Gunjan the singer who has hook ups with all these bands after she became a RJ.
@red- Zainab.. don't say that and offend all the loyal MNians.... At 19 you know exactly who you are going to marry.. Cmon didn't you know how this show has been so inspired by Kekta mai?

Neha: I'd like to buy your theory please. 😆
I am sorry, did I just hurtED the loyal 8-10 viewers again? Damn me!
Next thing we see is that Mayank and Nupur have a chunnu munnu sa Mayank Jr. but you see they are uneducated with no degree whatsoever, so they're unable to support Mayu Jr. Mayank says, 'Nahin Nupur. Ab aur nahin.' He hands her to RV and gets them married off along with Mayank Jr. in order for them to stay happy ever after. He in turn becomes a drunkard and 50 years later Nupur is sitting on a bench in Malaysia and Mayank comes still as a jawaan macho man in front of her to say 'Kiska hai yeh tumko intezaar main hoon na.' *Violins playing in the background.*

Yup.. then he will take her hand and they will walk away from the bench.. BG music playing..
Guzar jaaye pachaas saal hai..
Mil na paaye pyaar waale
Zinda rehti hai unki Mohabattein...
Zinda rehti hai unki Mohabattein..
And then unke peeche se their kids will walk to different sides.. hand in hand with their GFs...
