Well Neha, Excellent post as usual! I agree with everything that u've written except the bit on Samrat helping Mayank's realization....I guess, what u meant was S helping M in accepting his feelings for Nupur, when he was in a denial stage,....'cos M fell in love & realized his feelings for N, during the AC meet completely on his own....
The rest of it...Perfect Analysis! Specially the last bit....the only occasion I've seen Gunjan showing some care towards Nupur was after the Drug Track, when N was upset & G makes Gajar ka Halwa to cheer her up, but even then, the bigger share of the care & Halwa went to Samrat, the following day😆
Senny...I so agree with u that Nupur's realization was not as random as some people claim...'cos she always liked M & had an attraction towards him, right from the beginning.....she was the one who did not want their friendship to break during TP, over the project issue, 'cos she actually said it aloud that "it was very important for her", the words that she spoke praising Mayank wheh she was drunk in the barn 'bout how sweet he was as a person, all go to show that there had been dormant feelings within her towards M, which got a trigger during the terrace scene & consequently, the realization that it could be love...but she always felt that she was not good enough for him....so the insecurity & confusion....Anyways, that's not what this topic is all 'bout...but since I see some views at her "random realization" to justify Gunjan's insensitivity towards her sister's feelings, I felt compelled to express my thoughts on the matter....Not blaming the character but the creatives, for Keeping G completely oblivious to N's feelings....always....
Sonali: Gunjan's words 'bout the good fortune of people, whose feelings are reciprocated was not a "deliberate effort" on her part to help N to say those three golden words, she was just expressing her thoughts "generally", on the subject.
Creatives are responsible for ruining these characters, which had started off beautifully, in their process of dramatizing everything to enhance (?), the saleability factor of the show...so shy & naive Gunjan has to become a "holier than thou tragedy queen", Chirpy & Bubbly Nupur has to transform into a " loud & irritating shrew", Mischievous & flirtatious Samrat turns into a " dim & obtuse guy with a major inferiority complex for no rhyme or reason) & Mayank, the intelligent, sarcy but charming guy takes a rebirth in the form of "Mappu" (This one was easy...didn't have to write too many adjectives...thanx Kavya!)
Went totally off topic, I guess.....Gunur versus Sayank convo....Generally, Gunur seem genuine, their chemistry is natural & endearing, they talk sense!
Sayank ,on the other hand come across as forced, "we're the cool dudes" kind of convos totally ridiculous & cringeworthy....& their talks, incomprehensible, most times, I do not understand what they're trying to say.....yesterday's was better...they sounded a li'l more "human" than they have done in a long time....their best talk, which I liked till date was the day after Holi, when Samrat, for the first time quizzes M 'bout Nupur! That was superb!
